Chapter 79
Christopher froze at her words, and she quickly pushed him aside and got out of bed. She was flushing
as she rushed to the bathroom. Finally, she felt a sense of relief when she heard the door banged shut.
The pain disappeared a few moments later, and she did not have her period as expected. She thought it
was strange, as it was around the time when she would have her period. At the same time, she was a
little frustrated at herself for pissing Christopher off. Then again, she could not help herself because she
was so scared.
Meanwhile, Christopher‘s car was still in the Lewis residence. That meant that he was still in the house,
and he was most probably in the study.
She recalled that Elizabeth had taken away the extra blanket in the study to do the laundry two days ago.
Thus, she brought a blanket over to the study after some hesitation.
When she got there, the lights were not on. Since she did not have an extra hand, she walked carefully
in the dark. As she slowly got used to the darkness, she noticed the figure lying on the couch. She went
over slowly and put a blanket on the figure as she said, “You should go back to your room. I‘ll sleep in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtguest room.”
“Get out!” Christopher shouted.
Usually, Margaret would have left in that situation. However, she realized there were too many problems
between her and Christopher. She did not know what the future held, but she wanted to get along well
with him for as long as she could. Besides that, she sensed that his temper was getting worse ever since
they knew about Jenson‘s return. “I‘m sorry. I wasn‘t feeling well just now.”
Suddenly, a hand grabbed onto her wrist. Then, Christopher mocked coldly, “You‘re fine now?”
She nodded her head stiffly in response, and the next thing she knew, she was pulled into his embrace.
Christopher wasted no time on any foreplay. He went straight for it and was very rough due to his anger.
He was scarier than he was earlier when they were in bed. Margaret tried to beg but was stopped by him
again and again.
The following day, Margaret woke up in the bedroom. She was clueless about how she ended up back in
the bedroom because she did not last for more than half an
hour on the couch.
When she got downstairs, Christopher was drinking coffee in the living room. He wore a casual, light
gray attire as he sat on the couch with his legs crossed. It was such a serene scene.
At that moment, Elizabeth brought breakfast to the dining room. “Mrs. Lewis, hurry up and have your
breakfast.”
Margaret smiled as she walked over. Her footsteps might have been lighter if it was not for the fact that
she was not feeling well. After all, such a harmonious atmosphere was rare.
Christopher did not seem much friendly even though they had had an intimate moment the previous
night. Still, he was not as cold as he usually was. “Follow me to a place later,” he said.
Margaret agreed immediately. “Where? Well... I‘m just asking so that I can figure out what I should wear,”
she asked, afraid that she would embarrass him.
Christopher looked up at her and replied, “An engagement party. It‘s outdoors.”
Instantly, Margaret was a little taken aback. “But I don‘t have a dress.”
“Someone will deliver it,” he said nonchalantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that sorted, she said nothing else. After all, she knew that he preferred to eat in silence and that any
unnecessary chatting would only spoil his mood.
When it was ten in the morning, Noah delivered a dress, a pair of heels, and accessories over to
Margaret. Margaret rushed upstairs to get changed as soon as she got them. She even tried to put up
her hair for the first time ever so that she could seem a little more mature, as her facial features made
her appear to be childish.
To her surprise, the dress fit her like a glove. The only thing she disliked was that it was a tube dress.
Other than that, it was just an ordinary white dress where the hem stopped at her heels.
Christopher‘s reminder that the event was held outdoors was implying that she ought to put on a thick
coat. After all, it was still rather cold outside even though it had not been snowing in the past couple of
days. When she stood in front of the mirror, she noticed a hickey right on her neck. Her face flushed red
when she saw
that, and she went ahead and covered it up with concealer. Despite her efforts, there was still a faint
mark left on her neck.
At that moment, Christopher went into the room to get changed as well. She lifted her dress and turned
around to face him. “Is this okay?”
