An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 102
Hannah abandoned me because I was too much of a burden, wasn‘t it? I‘m just the same as my baby. We are both unwanted by
the people we love.
When Margaret arrived back at the Lewis residence with Noah, Christopher was waiting for her. It was like he was waiting for the
results.
When Noah informed him that Margaret was, in fact, not pregnant, Christopher stood up with a blank expression and walked to
the door. He said, “There‘s no need to give me a lift. I‘ll drive myself.”
Margaret watched him leave. If I give birth to this baby, our relationship will end. This man who had been around in my life for
over ten years will be gone from my life. He will vanish, and I will be leaving this place, too.
The next day, Margaret woke up early in the morning when her phone rang.
She accepted the call groggily. Casper asked through the phone, “You haven‘t woken up yet? I heard that you have been looking
for a job recently. Do you want to come back to my company?”
Margaret‘s drowsiness was gone in an instant. “How do you know that?”
Casper laughed gloatingly. “Everyone in the industry knows that you, Christopher Lewis‘ wife, are currently looking for a job.
From the rumors I heard, they seem to think that Christopher mistreated you by not giving you any money. It‘s awkward, isn‘t it?
If you need money, you can come back to my company! I mean, who else would want to hire you?”
Margaret was shocked to know that her act of looking for a job had unintentionally ruined Christopher‘s reputation. She
mumbled, “Um... Let me think about it.”
“What is there to think about? If you come back and work for me, I‘ll pretend you had never left this company in the first place. I‘ll
assume you were on paid leave. What do you think? Oh, and let me be clear with you. I‘m not trying to spy on you on behalf of
Christopher. I‘m doing this out of pure appreciation of your talent. My company needs gifted designers like you!”
Margaret hesitated. After all, Casper‘s offer was too hard to resist. She was short of money at the moment, so it was great news
to her that she could get paid even though she had not been working lately. However, Margaret had a feeling that Casper was up
to no good.

She understood her own capability the most. It simply was not possible for Casper‘s company to lack designers like her. Hence,
she questioned, “Come on. Be honest with me. Do you have an ulterior motive for doing this?”
Casper was taken aback by her question. “What ulterior motive? What could I possibly achieve from this? I‘ve been best friends
with Christopher for so many years. I would never be interested in his wife. I asked because I noticed you couldn‘t get a job. If
you are unwilling to come back and work for me, I can‘t force you, right?”
Margaret pondered for a moment before replying, “All right... Thank you. I‘ll head to the company today.”
She hung up and got out of bed to get herself ready. Before she headed out, she put on some light makeup to bring some color
to her pale face. Before she headed out, Elizabeth asked, “Meg, where are you headed?”
“I‘m going to Casper‘s company for work,” she responded.
Elizabeth was concerned about Margaret‘s condition. “But recently, you haven‘t been feeling well. Are you sure you want to head
to work now? If you really need money, why don‘t you use the card that Mr. Lewis gave you?”
Margaret remained quiet for a moment before she spoke. “I borrowed that money from him. I‘ll need to pay him back in the
future. I don‘t feel like spending his money.”
Elizabeth was confused. “What do you mean? He is your husband. It‘s normal for you to use his money. Those women out there
are more than happy to spend his money. You‘re basically saving up the money for them if you don‘t spend it. Are you silly?”
Margaret smiled faintly. “Nope. I‘m not silly. I just don‘t want to owe him anything. Anyway, I‘m leaving now. Just tell Christopher
where I am if he asks.”
When she arrived at the office, Leila led her to the desk that she had previously used. “We didn‘t clean your desk, so you can still
work here.”
Margaret expressed her gratitude before Leila passed her a file. “Take a look at the project you are in charge of this month. It
should be no problem for you, right?“
