An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

That night, Christopher didnt come home. Margaret had a sleepless night again thanks to Jodies situation. She didnt sleep a wink. The next day, her pale complexion was a stark contrast to her dark eye circles

Jodies phone was still switched off, and Margaret couldn‘t leave the house without Christophers approval. Out of ideas, she finally gave Christopher a call

Christopher was discussing a contract with his business partner. When his phone rang, he frowned in displeasure and switched it off without bothering to look at the caller ID

After signing the contract, he went back to the hotel before checking his phone. His expression grew stern when he realized the missed call was from Margaret. She doesnt call me usually 

He dialed her number and waited patiently for her to pick up. However, an automated message soon rang out, Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently not available. Please try again later.” 

He then called the Lewis residence. It was Elizabeth who answered the call. When the call was connected, he asked, Where is Margaret?” 

Elizabeth glanced upstairs and replied, Mrs. Lewis has been under the weather recently. The lights in her room were on the whole night. I believe she didnt sleep well. Shes currently sleeping.” 

Christopher exhaled subconsciously. Mm. Tell her to call me back when she gets 

up.” 

He had just hung up when another call arrived. This time, it was from Megan

As he was exhausted from work, he decided to ignore her and rejected the call. Shortly after, Megan called him again insistently

Frustrated, he pondered briefly before answering the call. However, he didnt utter a word

Megans upset voice rang out from the other end of the line. Christopher, why did you hang up on me? I tried calling you earlier, but the line was engaged. Who were you talking to? How long will your business trip take? I miss you!” 

A hint of disgust flashed across Christophers eyes after he heard her sickeningly sweet voice. Calmly, he replied, Do I need to report to you where I am and what I am doing? Megan, please know your place. Youre only Margarets stepsister, nothing else. Get it?” 

Megan couldnt believe her ears. WWhats wrong? Did you suffer a setback at work? I wont disturb you. Please dont get mad at me.” 

In a cruel manner, the man stated, I shouldve made things clear. Youre merely imagining things.” 

A hint of desperation crept into Megans voice. No, this isnt it! You said you like me! You even bought me my favorite bags and a diamond ring. Youd fulfill my every wish and bring me out to social engagements! How could that be nothing?” 

Christopher responded flatly, Yes, I gave you everything you wanted, except for my love. We were merely using each other to get what we wanted. Why are you taking it so seriously? If you dont know your place, I can get another replacement anytime.” 

With that, he cut the line immediately
