Chapter 155


    Margaret had a rough idea about the situation. She could only console Jodie by saying, “She probably


    hasn’t adapted to living an average-ie lifestyle. Things will get better with time, so you don’t have to


    worry much. You can only tell her that times are different now, and you can’t afford to spendvishly


    given your current financial status. As your mother, I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to suffer much


    because of her either.”

    However, Jodie was not convinced about Raina’s motherly love for her. “Forget it. If Mom genuinely feels


    concerned for me, she wouldn’t need me to serve her meals daily. If my dad were still here, I’m confident


    that he won’t like seeing her like this. I’m most worried that Mom will soon find out that there is still


    money left in the card Jack asked you to give me. She will undoubtedly spend all its money in less than a


    week. But I n to use that money as a down payment for purchasing a house. I’ve browsed on some


    units and picked one that’s to my liking. However, I still need a little more money for the down payment,


    so I’m working hard to earn it.”


    Margaret could sense Jodie’s determination to make a living. She envied Jodie for that, as she wanted to


    live like an ordinary person too. Even if Margaret had to endure the difficulties of making a living, at least


    she would enjoy the freedom to do what she liked to do, and she would at least be able to set personal


    life goals.


    Sadly, life had other ns for her; Margaret had be Christopher’s wife, a title that many women


    sought after. Yet, her morous title meant nothing as she refused to change herself into bing the


    perfect wife.


    Noticing Margaret’s silence, Jodie suddenly thought of something. She lowered her voice and asked,


    “Meg, h-has Christopher touched youtely?”


    That instantly made Margaret’s cheeks flush. “What are you talking about?”


    Jodie exined solemnly, “It’s not wise to have intimate exchanges within the first month of one’s


    miscarriage. Since Christopher doesn’t feel that way about you, you have to keep this in mind and don’t


    let him touch you.”


    An awkward cough came from Margaret as she cleared her throat. “Don’t worry. He won’t touch me,


    especially when he has plenty of other women to entertain him.”


    Jodie frowned after hearing that. “Other women? Who? Christopher has never gotten himself into any


    dating rumors. Plus, I thought he was a gentleman. Are you saying that he’s been keeping his affairs


    hidden? My goodness. How dare he? He’s crossing the line!”


    Realizing that she had nearly let it slip, Margaret got a little anxious. “I’m only rambling. There’s no need


    to pay too much heed to my words. Even if Christopher does have another woman, I don’t have any


    evidence to prove it. So, please don’t make a huge fuss over this.”


    She did not dare tell Jodie about the rtionship between Megan and Christopher, as she knew Jodie


    would undoubtedly start a fight with Christopher over it.


    Jodie heaved a sigh of relief and stopped dwelling on the topic. Later in the afternoon, she left before


    Christopher returned home.


    When Christopher’s car pulled over in front of the house at four o’clock, Margaret had already ced


    Tabby back in the yard as she knew Christopher was a punctual man.


    Tabby, which was supposed to be in the backyard, started walking toward Christopher after he got out of


    the car. That made Christopher frown. He hurriedly rushed into the house and up the stairs as if he would


    die if Tabby touched him.


    Seeing the disgusted look on Christopher’s face, Margaret felt annoyed, but she did not say anything.


    She knew it was not fair to force Christopher to like the cat. Thus, she merely hoped that he would allow


    her to continue keeping Tabby as a pet.


    It confused her to know Christopher did not n on heading out that evening. He was always away, yet


    lately, he had been spending his nights at home. His presence made her uneasy. Also, him being at


    home meant she would have lesser time to be with Tabby.


    That night, after tucking herself to bed, Margaret suddenly thought of what Jodie had told her earlier that


    day. Her cheeks turned as red as beats.


    Christopher was also on the bed with his back facing Margaret as he looked at his phone. There were


    endless texts on his screen that gave Margaret a headache. She could never understand how he


    managed to stare at such congested screens for so


    long


    It was then that Christopher’s phone rang, jolting Margret slightly. The caller ID on the screen showed


    that Megan was calling.
