An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 198

At that time, Margaret had begun to doubt herself. Could it be that I’ve misunderstood everything? Elizabeth told me that Christopher was in love with me some time ago, but now Nina’s saying it too? However, when she thought about how Christopher snapped at her earlier, she found her thought hilarious. Don’t be stupid, Margaret. Everyone else’s love story is sweet at the beginning, but didn’t mine begin with suffering? Why is mine different? How ridiculous! I’ve never heard of a love story where the guy would show his affection to a woman through that method!

She was more certain that it was impossible the more she thought about it. “Nina, you don’t have to try to make me feel better. I’m fine. I’m already used to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did anything else. Our relationship’s too complicated. I don’t even get it, so how would outsiders like you know what’s going on? There’s no way he’s in love with me, and I won’t have that kind of feelings for him. It’s too weird. I was eight when I first came to the Lewis family, and he was eighteen. I was still a child back then. You can say that he was the one who brought me up. He’s like a brother and a father to me, yet you want me to fall in love with him? It’s ridiculous!”

Nina had a shocked expression on her face when she heard that, “Did you think of him as your brother and dad when you had sex with him? Ew! Now that’s weird! Margaret, the two of you are a married couple. Although they say that marriage is the end of love because the feelings you have for your spouse will eventually turn into familial affection, that affection begins from love. Since the two of you grew up together like a family, it was obvious that things would be the other way round for you guys. Your love for one another is just starting. If you don’t believe me, try telling him that you love him instcad of saying you don’t love him when he’s mad. I’m sure things would turn out differently.”

Margaret was still confused, and she didn’t want to continue talking about that anymore. Immediately, she changed the topic. “Aren’t you in love with him? Why are you telling me this and giving me all these suggestions?”

Nina shrugged in response. “If I didn’t hear what he said and saw how mad he got at you, there’s no way I’ll believe that he’s in love with you. If he doesn’t love you, I’ll definitely do everything to make him fall in love with me. But things are different now. There’s nothing I can do. Besides, I’m not interested in taking someone else’s man. But I have to say, you’re really something because you managed to force such a gentle and angelic person into a devil.”

“Hey. Are you having a nice chai, ladies? Meg, Nina, have some fruits,” Elizabeth said as she walked over lo them suddenly. It appeared that she overheard what Nina had said earlier. Because of that, she didn’t dislike Nina that much anymore.

Nina felt it, too, so she naturally accepted the ofler from Elizabeth. “Okay. You can place it here,” she said.

“Meg, Mr. Lewis is sull angry. Why don’t you… No, forget it. It’s a waste of time to knock some sense into the two of you when both of you are so stubborn,” Elizabeth ultered as she looked at Margaret alier placing the place down.

With her head lowered, Margaret didn’t respond to Elizabeth. Suddenly, Nina stutted a peach into Margaret’s mouth, and the latter felt a little uncomfortable since she was not used to others feeding her. “Thank you,” she responded with an awkward smile. However, Nina laughed out loud when she saw Margaret’s expression. “Margaret, I was really ugly when I was little. I’ve been to kindergarten with Christopher: Back then, I was like the ugly duckling, and he was my prince. Can you imagine how far apart we were? He’s someone that I’ve loved since I was a little girl. Don’t break his heart anymore, okay? I can’t bear to see him being huru.” Nina’s voice trailed off.

At that moment, Margaret saw the tears in Nina’s eyes.

At night, Christopher lefi again, and Nina didn’t follow him this time. Because of that, no one knew where he went. When it was one o’clock in the morning, Nina shook Margaret and woke her up. “He’s still not back yel. Aren’t you worried at all?”

Margaret mumbled groggily, “Why are you acting like Elizabeth? He’s a grown man… He’ll be fine… I can’t control him..”
