An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 74

Chapter 7

Did he leave in the middle of the night? Margaret had a strange feeling at the thought of him going out to look for Megan. He was in a good mood, so we had a few more glasses of drinks. Its just that Im not good at drinking, but Im fine, Elizabeth.” 

Margaret did not see Christopher the whole morning. When she went out to buy painting materials in the afternoon, she asked Jodie out for a meetup

They had not spent a great time together since the incident at the hotel. Margaret did not want them to become distant

The two met in a cafe. Margaret was a little curious to see Jodie come alone. Why didnt Jack come with you?” 

Jodie heaved out a sigh before she responded, The incident has become viral on the internet. Of course, hell not have the audacity to come out with me to meet you. Ive been thinking to meet up with you for a long time, but my dad said it was inappropriate, as he was afraid that it would worsen the situation. Hence, I had no choice but to stay at home. Those guys are despicable. They can come up with anything and make up all kinds of nonsense. How immoral they are!” 

Margaret thought shed better explain to clear things out. Jo, theres nothing between Jack and me. What he said is true. He called me out that day to talk about proposing to you, as he wanted to give you a surprise.” 

Jodie said halfjokingly, Even if you have something with him, I‘ll still choose friendship over love. Its fine to give up on a scumbag. After all, I can always get another man. Yet, youre unique, and youre the person I want to cherish the most.” 

Jo...” 

Margaret could not tell how she felt. She wanted to say something but eventually fell silent 

Jodie winked at her. Christopher is your man. How could you possibly be attracted to a poor chap like Jack? I hesitated at the hotel that day just because I wanted to figure out what was going on. I wasnt doubting the two of you. However, the sudden arrival of Christopher indeed gave me a shock. What was wrong with him? He looked as if he was there to catch you cheating on him.” 

Margaret shook her head. I dont know either.” 

Jodie flashed a wicked smile as she said, It seems like he cares a lot about you. Ive never seen Jack care so much about me. He never even bothered to ask me anything when I went out with another man.” 

Despite that, Margaret was more concerned about the marriage proposal at that moment. Did Jack propose to you? The two of you didnt quarrel, did you?” 

Jodie pretended not to care, but there was a glint of disappointment in her eyes as she replied, Yes, we did quarrel, but everything is fine now. As for the marriage proposal... It was put on hold because he thought I didnt believe him, and he didnt mention it again. Besides, its also not the right timing now due to the current situation in my family, so well see how things go later on.” 

Margaret felt a little guilty. If it had not been for Christophers sudden appearance, Jack and Jodie would probably have been engaged. As she was about to speak, Megans flirtatious voice rang out from behind. With an ironic tone, she said, If I had known you were here, I would not have come here with my mother.” 

Megan deliberately stressed the words “my mother.Hearing that, Margaret felt tense

When Megan and Hannah stepped forward, Jodie asked in a hostile tone, Who are the two of you?” 

Margaret grabbed her hand and said, Jo, lets go.”
