Chapter 132


    Listening to the sound of water flowing from the bathroom, Margarety on the bed motionlessly as


    though she were a puppet whose strings had snapped. It felt like something had exploded within her


    heart, causing her to feel pain and sorrow.


    Shortly, Christopher left the Lewis residence. The sound of his car engine faded away into the distance.


    The same scenario had repeated itself countless times, and she ended up being broken into pieces once


    more. However, that time around, those feelings came more fiercely than before.


    The next day, Margaret went to the office on time as usual. What happened the night before caused her


    to have nightmares, so she did not look well.


    Casper was taken aback when he saw her. “What did you and Christopher do yesterday night? Your dark


    circles can almost upy your entire face…


    She shook her head in silence. With an odd expression, he inquired, “Is it… because of Jenson?”


    Confused, she answered with a question, “What’s the matter with Jenson?”


    Casper faked augh and brushed it off. “Oh, it’s nothing. I was merely asking a random question. You


    should go and do your work.”


    Although Margaret was puzzled about why he would suddenly mention Jenson, she did not dwell on the


    matter. She was still shaken from what had happened the night before and had not recovered from the


    shock yet. Thankfully, nothing happened to the baby in her womb.


    Her phone suddenly rang sometime past ten in the morning. Upon seeing the iing caller’s number,


    she hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. “Hello?”


    Jenson’s deste voice rang out from the other end of the line. “I want to see you now. Can I?”


    As she was familiar with his temperament, she knew he was not someone who was so emotional to the


    extent that he would casually ask to see her during working hours. Out of concern, she asked, “What’s


    wrong? Did something happen?”


    Instead of answering her question, Jenson said, “Let’s talk face-to-face. I just… I really want to see you


    now… I’m near your oflice. Just turn left when youe down, and you’ll see my car.”

    After Margaret hung up the phone, she headed to Casper’s office and knocked on his door. His voice


    could be heard from within as he uttered, “Come in.”


    She pushed open the door and strode forward. “Uh… I need to go out for a bit. Can I take leave? But I


    don’t know if I cane back to workter today.”


    Casper was busy looking through some documents, so he responded without even ncing at her, “Go,


    go. It doesn’t matter what time youe back to work, as long as you go home on time. I don’t want


    Christophering after me to look for you.”


    She nodded in response, spun on her heels, and exited his office. Upon leaving the building, she turned


    left as Jenson had instructed. It did not take long for her to spot a ck sports car parked at the side of


    the road. Her instinct told her that it was Jenson’s car.


    The youngdy walked forward without the intention of getting into the vehicle. Jenson rolled down his


    car window, saying, “Hop in first.”


    Margaret was rather hesitant to do so. After all, she was a married woman. Moreover, a scandal


    involving the two of them had happened previously, so it was best to keep a distance. “Uh… Is there


    anything important? I’m supposed to be working now… You can just tell me here.”


    Jenson drooped his head slightly, the disappointment in his eyes evident. Under the refraction of light,


    his side profile revealed a sorrowful emotion lurking within him. “I never expected this day toe—that


    we would have to be worried about just sitting down and having a chat.”


    Biting her lip, she opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. “It’s not that. I… I just don’t


    want to skip work.”


    The man did not expose her lie. As he drove the car forward, he suddenly changed the topic, “Meg, do


    you love Christopher?”


    Margaret was surprised. She did not understand why he would suddenly ask her such a question.


    After all, he was engaged, and she was married and was carrying a child. Regardless of the situation, it


    would be inappropriate for both of them to discuss their rtionship issues. “Jenson… We—”


    As though he could guess what she was going to say, he interjected, “You only need to answer me. Don’t


    think about anything else. Whatever I ask, you answer.”
