An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 157
Jodie took the envelope, examined it carefully, and was immediately discouraged. “The mailing address is the same as before.
There’s no one living there at all. If this Mr. Xenos doesn’t want us to find him, we really won’t be able to find him. He’s just like a
ghost...”
When Margaret thought of her current situation, she felt a little hopeless.
She had just a glimmer of hope for Christopher before, but there was nothing left now. All she wanted was to leave. She wanted
to leave all this behind and live like a normal person, yet he insisted on torturing her, refusing to let her go.
“Forget it, Jo. There’s no need to care about this matter anymore. Just... pretend as though we’d never gotten letters from Mr.
Xenos before. I’ve had enough.” Margaret was filled with negative emotions.
“Don’t give up, Meg. This has to do with your father. If he were wrongly accused, then you have an obligation to clear his name.
How far are you now? Are you already discouraged? We just need to find Mr. Xenos, right? I’ll hire someone to find him for you.
We shall not give up until we find that man!” Jodie did not approve of Margaret’s approach and knew that the latter was only
saying this because she had suffered a setback.
“You’ll hire someone? Hah. There’s no need. I have money.” Margaret suddenly thought of something. Yes, I can’t give up. I just
have to find a person, right? As long as he’s still alive in this world, I’ll definitely find him. If I can’t find him myself, I’ll hire
someone to find him for me. Of course, I won’t use Jodie’s money. I’m Mrs. Lewis, after all. Why would I not spend the Lewis
family’s money and torture myself instead?
It had taken her more than ten years to figure this out. In the past, she was an orphan taken in by Christopher. Hence, she
always thought that she owed him and would never be able to repay him.
Now, she had become his wife, and the torture he inflicted on her had made her feel less guilty long ago. Once her father was
proved innocent, she would no longer have to feel any guilt at all. By then, would there only be hatred left between Christopher
and me?

After leaving the cafe, Margaret glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost time for lunch. Christopher must be having
lunch happily with Megan and her family now, huh?

She deliberately did not avoid this time period and called him directly. When the call connected, she said bluntly, “Give me
money. I’m going shopping with Jo.”
Christopher was stunned and could not react for a while. How could a person who never reached out to ask him for money
before suddenly be so direct?
When Margaret did not hear his answer, she added, “What? You have money to mess around outside but no money to support
your wife?”
An unknown gleam emerged in the man’s eyes. “All right.”
After hanging up the call, he directly transferred the money through his phone. The smile in his eyes spread to the corners of his
lips.
Megan saw that he seemed to be in a good mood after taking a call and could not help but feel slightly upset. “Christopher, who
was that? You look so happy after answering the phone...!!
The smile on his face faltered, and he said indifferently, “It’s no one.”
Seeing that, Hannah said in a low voice, “Megan, you’re talking too much. Don’t talk when you’re eating”
Megan shut her mouth, still feeling a little dissatisfied. A woman’s intuition was typically accurate. That phone call earlier was
definitely not from an ordinary person.
Margaret felt slightly conflicted when she looked at the transaction information on her phone. She never imagined she could ask
for money from Christopher so easily. Moreover, the amount he gave was not small either.
Jodie leaned over to take a peek and clicked her tongue. “How nice it must be to have a rich husband! Just one phone call and
he gives you so much money. Well, are we going shopping now or are we going to hire someone to search for Mr. Xenos?”
