Chapter 172
It was around five o’clock afternoon. Christopher pulled up the car at the Lewis residence while everyone
in the Lewis family sighed a breath of relief. When he stepped out of the car, Tabby limped forward and
stomped on his feet. It was as if it was venting its frustration.
Goosebumps rose all over Christopher’s body at the sight of the chubby cat. However, when he saw
Margaret staring at him at the door, he had no choice but to pick Tabby up into his arms.
Margaret was puzzled at the sight of it. Since when did he be so close with Tabby?
At the same time, Nina was watching through the window from upstairs with a frown on her forehead.
Since he was a child, he hated furry animals. I can‘t believe he‘s holding Margaret‘s cat right now.
“The wind is strong today. Don’t be out here and rest in bed. Ask Elizabeth to deliver the meal to your
room,” advised Christopher as he walked up to Margaret and ced Tabby in her arms.
Once again, Margaret was stunned. He hates it the most when one doesn‘t have good manners. He had
never allowed me to eat in my room too. I can‘t believe he‘s suggesting it
now.
She then twitched her head and asked, “Can Tabby enter the room too? He’ll be scared if I’m not by his
side for the whole day…”
Christopher stopped in his tracks briefly. “Don’t push your luck. I’ll get rid of him if I see him in there,” he
said without raising his voice.
The corner of Margaret’s lips quirked up. Does that mean I’ll be fine as long he doesn‘t see Tabby?
During dinner, Marget thought that it was innecessary to have her meal sent to her room. It was not like
she was disabled anyway.
Nina was talking incessantly at the table, “Christopher, you still look the same after so many years. I
thought men would start to gain weight and turn ugly after thirty years

old, but it seems you’re rejuvenating instead, You sull look charming after getting married. Among all the
good-looking guys I met overseas, they’re still no match for your looks.”
Christopher chuckled at her words. As Nina was no stranger to him, he then said with a smile, “You look
prettier nowpared to how you were when you were young.”
Rolling her eyes at him, Nina eximed, “You used to ignore me when I was young because I looked
ugly, right? As they say, ady undergoes tremendous changes after they grow up. I have turned
beautiful sooner than you thought. Too bad you were married back then.”
At that moment, Margeret felt as if her existence was redundant. Furrowing his brows, Christopher said,
“What do you mean by that? It doesn’t matter to me how you look. I felt bad for Mr. Moore, who used to
worry about you not being able to find a husband.”
“My dad asked me to marry you if I couldn’t,” added Nina suddenly.
Silence sank in after Nina said those words. The memories of Margaret being tormented by Megan
shed across Margaret’s mind. Is she another love rival?
As if pouring out all her feelings she had been keeping to herself for a long time, Margeret eximed,
“Mr. Moore must be joking! Christopher apanied me to have a meal with himst time. Nina, you do
resemble him a lot.”
Elizabeth almost cried in joy when she heard Margaret’s words. It seems like she‘s not afraid to hold
herself back anymore and knows how to stand up for herself.
With that, Nina pursed her lips without a word. An indescribable expression hung on Christopher’s face
with a sudden surge of joy. Even he couldn’t tell how he was feeling himself. It was Margaret’s first time
addressing Christopher casually,
After dinner, Nina and Christopher had a chat in the living room, Margeret decided not to join them as
she didn’t know much about their past and didn’t want to feel left out of the conversation. Thus, she
secretly sneaked Tabby into her room.
Despite wanting to take a rest, her mind was wide awake. She was feeling ecstatic as if she had taken
stimnts, and she could hear the sound from downstairs clearly without her realizing it.
