Chapter 21
He wanted to deepen the kiss after tasting the sweetness of her mouth. However, Margaret turned her
face away.
“Do you not like this? Or… Do you not like doing this with me?” Christopher’s tone had turned cold. This
made Margaret feel afraid.
Thinking about the times he was angry, Margaret bit her lower lip. “No…
Just then, Christopher’s phone, which was placed on the bed, rang. Margaret heaved a sigh of relief and
stood up to pass his phone to him.
Seeing the caller’s name, Christopher frowned, and he did not answer the call. Margaret understood
immediately, and she left after flashing a smile at him. At the same time, she also felt relieved.
Perhaps he‘ll let me go when he has found someone he likes and wants to start a family. That was what
Margaret hoped for.
When she returned to her room, she lay on her bed and checked her phone. Her screen was full of
celebration messages, making it look very lively as the New Year was approaching. The messages
couldn’t warm her dispassionate heart, though.
The notification that popped up garnered her attention. It was a message from Jodie, and Margaret held
her breath when reading the contents of the message. Jenson is back.
Although she knew that he was only back for the holidays and would leave soon, she still had an
inexplicable feeling. The elegant, innocent boy with bright eyes had been etched on her heart.
Jenson and Christopher were completely different people.
Margaret returned Jodie’s call and inquired, “Jo, when is Jenson leaving?”
On the other end of the line, Jodie teased, “Why? You don’t want him to leave? Actually, I’m also not
sure. Are you able to come to the gathering tomorrow? He’s the one organizing it. Oh right! I’m going to
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netintroduce you to my boyfriend. Tell me if you want to join us.”
“I’ll be there,” Margaret instinctively replied. A second before Margaret replied to Jodie, she decided that
she could take the risk of sneaking out, since Christopher was
leaving for a business trip the next day.
The next day, Christopher left in the early morning.
Margaret rummaged through her closet and could not find any decent clothes to wear. She felt like going
on a shopping spree for the first time. She called for Jodie to join her for a shopping spree.
Jodie gasped in astonishment when she saw Margaret pay for her purchases. “Meg, you’re too much! I
always thought you were poor, but you were merely pretending to be poor! You’re actually pretty
wealthy.”
Margaret did not want to tell her that the sum of money was actually given by Christopher. “Don’t talk
nonsense. Let’s go!”
The gathering was held in Jenson’s seaside mansion at night.
Almost everyone had arrived when Margaret and Jodie arrived. Margaret was not familiar with most of
them and had not even met some of them. The only person who caught her eyes instantly was none
other than Jenson.
“Margaret, long time no see,” Jenson greeted with a faint smile. His beautiful eyes stared at her
attentively, causing Margaret to feel shy to meet his gaze. “Yes… Long time to see.”
The people around them began to tease Jenson. “Jenson, is this your real reason for hosting the
gathering?”
“That’s right. What’s wrong with that?” Jenson did not hide it and admitted it outright. Although he
sounded as if he was joking, he was not lying. Margaret lowered her head shyly, and a warm fuzzy
feeling filled her chest.
Jodie pulled Jack away from the crowd of people and introduced him, “Meg, this is my boyfriend, Jack
Smith.”
Margaret looked up at Jack, and the latter raised his chin as a form of greeting.
Jack had an outstanding appearance. He was tall with handsome facial features. However, Margaret did
not like his foppish personality. She smiled lightly and followed a bunch of people into the main hall.
There was loud music playing in the air-conditioned hall. Jodie enjoyed the party to the fullest. She then
passed Margaret a glass of fruit wine. “This won’t make you drunk, and it’s fruit-flavored. Don’t tell me
you prefer water. You’ll be killing the
mood.”
Margaret took a sip, and the alcoholic taste was mild. Tasting the orange-flavored wine in her mouth, she
didn’t find the taste repulsive, so she took another sip.
Soon, she started to feel hot and took off her outerwear before throwing it onto the couch. Jack and
Jodie were already drunk and hugging each other on the couch.
Jenson whispered something in Margaret’s ear. She could not hear him and tripped, falling into his
embrace. Then, she lost consciousness.
The next day, she felt a headache when she woke up. As she tried to turn her body, she opened her
eyes and saw Jenson’s face in front of her. She froze for a moment before fear filled her heart.
At that moment, there was only one thought in her head. If Christopher finds out about this, I‘m doomed!
Upon thinking that, she hurriedly got off the bed and realized that her clothes had been changed. She
was wearing a man’s shirt!
She did not have any recollection of the previous night. However, she could guess what had happened,
judging from the situation.
Her whole body was trembling as she searched for her clothes. However, she could not find them no
matter how hard she tried.
On the bed, Jenson frowned as he heard the noise. He seemed to be waking up. Seeing that, Margaret
gave up on finding her clothes. She quickly grabbed Jenson’s outerwear and left the mansion.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netMeanwhile, Christopher was in the backseat of a car as he was on his way to the airport. He was
massaging his temples wearily.
The chauffeur, Noah Carson, took a glance at him from the rearview mirror. He hesitated before saying,
“Mr. Lewis, how about we don’t go overseas? You postponed your flight last night, and you had been
working in the office for one whole day. Then, you are flying overseas now. You may collapse from
exhaustion…
“No need.” Christopher took out his phone to take a look. Just as he was thinking about whether he
should make a call, his screen lighted up with a news article notification.
He took a brief glance at the headline and quickly tapped on it. It was a clear picture
of Margaret and Jenson cuddling on the bed!
He almost crushed the phone in his hands. “Noah, turn around and return home now!”
Noah looked at Christopher’s darkened expression and knew that something had happened. He quickly
turned the car around. Every single time Christopher was angry, it definitely had something to do with
Margaret.
At the Lewis residence, Margaret quickly took off her clothes once she entered her room. The door
suddenly swung open with a slam.
She turned her head around and met Christopher’s eyes which were filled with rage. She realized that
she was not wearing anything, and she hurriedly grabbed the outerwear near her to cover her body.
“Why are you back?” she asked in a trembling voice.
When Christopher saw that she was grabbing onto a piece of male clothing, he became angrier. “Take it
off!”
Margaret knew what he was referring to, but she was naked at the moment, as she was just preparing to
bathe right before he barged into the room. If I remove the coat, then I...
While she was still hesitating, Christopher had already walked over to her and pinched her chin. “Do you
want to do it yourself, or do you want me to do it for
you?”
