An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 159

Margaret bit her lip hard before loosening it again. “You’ve always been hateful too!”

Christopher’s hand holding the glass suddenly tightened, clenching so hard it seemed like he was going to shatter the glass. His expression also turned colder. “It’ doesn’t matter if you hate or like it. Who do you think you are?”

She laughed. “In the past, I was an orphan taken in by you and owed a dozen lives to the Lewis family. It was you who wanted me to be your wife, so you tell me. Who am 1? I’m not the one calling the shots here.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He gritted his teeth and said, “If you have something you’re dissatisfied with, spit it out. I’d like to hear it.”

Since he had told her to speak her mind, she naturally would not be polite. “I’ve had enough of acting like a pathetic stray dog in front of you! You give a smile when you’re happy and trample all over me when you’re not. Even if it were my father who caused the plane crash that made you an orphan, am I guilty of it? I lost just as much as you did! I admit that I have to pay back my debt, but you make me feel like I’m not even living like a human being! I’d rather be a servant of the Lewis family for the rest of my life to repay you than be Mrs. Lewis and tortured half to death by your lover. Even if I’m guilty, even if my father were guilty, what was my child guilty of?”

Her body’s strength seemed to be exhausted at the mention of her child, and she could no longer say anything else. It was extremely hard just holding back her tears.

The sore spot in Christopher’s heart was touched again, and he viciously smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground. “You like being a servant? Fine, I’ll grant you your wish! From tomorrow onward, you’ll do whatever the Lewis residence’s servants do. Get out!”

Margaret turned and left without hesitation, taking the initiative to go to the servants’ room where Elizabeth lived. Four housekeepers stayed in the same room, and there was no extra space for her, so she could only squeeze in with Elizabeth.

However, she did not regret provoking him. She would rather sleep in the servant’s room than lie in the same bed as laim. Whenever she saw him, she would remember what he did with Megan and Hannah!

They had joined forces to tear a hole in her heart that would never heal, reminding her of every moment with excruciating pain.

The next day, Margaret went to work at the office as usual. After work, she returned to the Lewis residence as a “moonlighting” maid.

Although Christopher had sent word to the servants not to be polite with her and let her do whatever she should, no one dared to order her around. After all, the couple. . wasn’t divorced yet, and the woman was still his wife.

Margaret swallowed down her anger and took over all of Elizabeth’s duties. She went to help wherever needed help, doing everything from laundry, and cooking, to cleaning.

Previously, Christopher only tortured her and did not give her a clear way to atone for her sins. Now, at least, she had a clear path. She would rather atone for her sins in this way.

At the end of the day, as long as Mr. Xenos was not found, she would continue to owe Christopher. Even if they were both covered in bruises, her injuries were still so insignificant and inconsequential in his eyes!

In the evening, Margaret had dinner in the kitchen with the housekeepers. After dinner, she was busy for most of the night, and it was almost twelve o’clock when she was finally free.

Thinking about the money she had asked from Christopher, she did not know how her brain stalled for her to actually do that. She no longer wanted the money, so she made up for the amount she had spent and transferred it back to him.

Now, she could only let Jodie pay the expenses for finding Mr. Xenos and slowly pay her back. After all, she was employed and had an income now.

After doing all this, she lay down next to Elizabeth. She was so tired that she did not want to move anymore. In the past, no matter how Christopher had treated her, he never made her do any physical labor. Now, she was suddenly so exhausted that it was a little unbearable.

“Meg, just apologize to Mr. Lewis. I know you’re aggrieved after the miscarriage, and even your temper changed. But no matter what, you’re still husband and wife. What kind of married couple acts like this? Also, what am I supposed to do if you did all of my work for me? What if Mr. Lewis dismisses me because of that? You should just resume being his wife and stop torturing yourself,” Elizabeth hdvised out of the blue.
