An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 61

Jodie‘s expression changed slightly when she heard the sound of water running coming from the bathroom. After making up her mind, she pushed Margaret into the room and shut the door.

“Christopher, what are you doing here?” Jodie quickly straightened up, seeing that Christopher had come over, her back against the door.

“Get out of the way!” There was a dangerous look in Christopher‘s narrowed eyes.

Jodie said hesitatingly, “A female friend of mine is showering in the bathroom. It‘s not nice for you to go inside now. Are you looking for Meg? She‘s not here.”

Behind the door, there was no telling if Margaret was touched or upset.

She found the entire situation to be baffling, as Jodie and Christopher had shown up when she had just arrived at the hotel with Jack. It‘s not weird if Jodie has come to look for Jack. But didn‘t Christopher go to look for Megan?

She was still deep in thought when Christopher had the bodyguard break open the door.

Flustered, she staggered a few steps back. She closed her eyes and knocked on the bathroom door. “Jack, come out. Quick.”

Perhaps the bathroom was well soundproofed because Jack could not hear her and was still bathing.

Outside, the bodyguard had snatched the keycard from Jodie and opened the door. Margaret‘s and Christopher‘s eyes met. Even though she didn‘t do anything wrong, she couldn‘t help but feel guilty and move backward in fear.

“Hold your fire, Christopher.” Jodie freed herself from the bodyguard and stood before Margaret to protect her. “Let‘s not complicate things. I am as eager to find out the truth as you are. But can‘t we just wait for Jack to come out before we talk things out? I believe this is not who Meg is, and the same goes for Jack.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Jack seemed to have heard the commotion outside the bathroom. When he went out in a bathrobe and saw the many people in the room, he was stunned. “What‘s going on?”

Christopher gave him a frosty look and Jodie said exasperatedly, “I don‘t know. You

tell me.”

Only then did realization dawn on Jack as he quickly said, “I need Margaret‘s help with something, but then I dirtied my clothes when we were eating so I took a shower–“Christopher cut him off, “What a brainless excuse!”

Jack did not bother to explain himself further. He looked at Jodie and asked, “You think that I‘m lying to you too?”

Jodie looked at him, then looked at Margaret. She was just about to speak when Jack said, “Forget it. You can think however you want.”

Christopher swept Margaret a glance. Then after signaling his bodyguard with a lift of his hand, he turned and walked away.

Two bodyguards went forward and brought Margaret out of the room. Even though they did not go hard on her, she felt as if she was being sentenced to death. Does he not trust me that much? Does he think I‘m a loose woman because of that incident three years ago?

On their way back, Christopher‘s face was as dark as thunder. Margaret remained silent, as she didn‘t see the need to explain herself. When someone refuses to believe in you, there‘s no point in explaining yourself because every word you say to them will sound like a lie.

Arriving at the Lewis residence, Christopher dragged her to the bathroom and sprinkled her with cold water.

She looked up at him while shivering and could see the burning flame of anger and a hint of disgust in his eyes. He looked as if he was about to explode.

“Clean yourself up before you come and look for me!” Not wanting to spare her another glance, Christopher turned around and went out of the bathroom.

He then shut the door with a bang and Margaret felt a pang in her heart.

Margaret stayed in the bathroom for more than an hour. She could not walk out because she was completely drenched to the skin. And she couldn‘t possibly ask Christopher to help her get her pajamas either. When her fingers and skin were about to turn white from her soaking too long in the water, she grabbed a bath towel for men that could only cover her important parts and tip–toed out of the bathroom.
