Chapter 154


    Margaret lowered her voice and said, “I’ll head inside then. Please help me bring


    Tabby in once he leaves.”


    Elizabeth nodded. She was delighted to see how much Christopher cared for Margaret. In the past, he


    would never tell the staff when he left the house, let alone inform them when he would be back. Most of


    the time, Christopher only called at thest minute to notify the staff. The unusualness in his attitude that


    day was because he wanted to give Margaret and Tabby some space.


    After getting changed, Christopher was about to leave the house when he recalled that Margaret once


    took some pills behind his back. Because of that, he had mistaken her pregnancy for gastric and did not


    realize that she was lying to him.


    Did she refuse to take the gastric medicine I gave her because of the baby? Does that mean she did


    care about the baby?

    He opened the drawer where she ced her medicines. There were two bottles inside, one empty while


    the other was almost full. Both contained folic acid pills, but she didn’t need them now.


    Hearing that someone was walking up the stairs, he closed the drawer and pretended nothing had


    happened. Then, he turned around, closed the door, and walked down the stairs. However, when he


    brushed past Margaret, he slowed down.


    Noticing that, Margaret slowed down too and stared at him curiously. She waited for him to start the


    conversation.


    He said, “You… You can’t let the cat inside.”


    “Okay.” She had already expected him to say this.


    After confirming that he had left the Lewis residence in his car, Elizabeth secretly let Tabby inside the


    house. Margaret quickly picked up Tabby, held it in her arms, and mentally rolled her eyes. The more


    Christopher stops me from letting the cat inside, the more I feel like doing it!


    Her phone suddenly rang, so she put Tabby away and answered the call from Jodie. “Meg, what are you


    doing right now? Do you want to hang out with me?”


    Margaret hesitated momentarily before saying, “I don’t feel like heading out. Why don’t youe to my


    ce instead? Christopher won’t be back until four in the


    evening. I’ll be home alone until then.”


    Thinking that it had not been a month since Margaret had a miscarriage, Jodie quickly agreed, saying,


    “Sure. It’s best that you don’t travel that much anyway. I’ll be right over.”


    Forty minutester, a cab arrived in front of the Lewis residence. Wealthy families upied this


    residential area, so it was rare to see ordinary public vehicles here. The bodyguards at the entrance


    found it a little strange when the cab appeared.


    Fortunately, Margaret had already informed the bodyguards about this. After Jodie got out of the cab, the


    bodyguards opened the door for her.


    Margaret held Tabby and walked up to Jodie. “Jo, why did you want to see me today? Don’t you have to


    cook for your mother at home?”


    Jodie shook her head and sighed. “Let’s go inside. I have so much to tell you, and speaking of my mom


    makes me feel angry.”.


    They soon settled down in the living room while Elizabeth served them hot tea. “Ms. rk, here are


    some refreshments.”


    Jodie smiled and nodded. Her gaze fell on Tabby, whichy in Margaret’s arms. “Woah. Since when did


    you get a cat? Look at how chubby it is. Can you even carry it around?”


    A snort came from Margaret before she exined, “It used to be a stray cat. Christopher was against the


    idea, but I insisted on adopting it. Because of this, we had several arguments. So, I’m keeping it in the


    yard now, and I’ll only let it inside when Christopher is away.”


    Jodie gave her a thumbs-up. “Impressive! I didn’t expect you to toughen up and go against Christopher.”


    Margaret did not want to continue on the topic, so she diverted it by asking, “Anyway, didn’t you say you


    have a lot to tell me? Why are you angry with your mom”


    Upon hearing that, Jodie’s expression grew sullen. “Living with my mom is irritating me to no end, It


    makes me feel hopeless about life. I’m now working at Steven’spany, and I have a side job at night,


    but both sries are still not enough to support my mother. Yet, she’s so obsessed with luxury items and


    can’t change her habit ofvish spending. Also, she loves ying poker. The amount she gambles each


    time is so insane that I can’t settle her debts. Every time my mom and I start talking


    about this, we get into arguments, so I’ve grown tired of nagging at her.”
