Chapter 173


    After a while, the noise tuned down while approaching footsteps were heard outside the door.


    Margaret could tell it was Christopher. As Tabby was sleeping soundly on the nket, she quickly hid it


    underneath the nket and left a slit so that it could breathe.


    The next second, the door was pushed open. As she had expected, it was Christopher.


    Feeling slightly guilty, Margaret lowered her head while her cheeks blushed from nervousness. Her heart


    was beating fast. Luckily, Tabby is behaving well.


    Christopher seemed to be in a good mood today. Even when there was no one around, the smile on his


    face remained. “Are you feeling unwell?” he asked.


    At this point, Margaret was panicking like crazy. She couldn’t care much about the unhappy situations


    they had back then. “I’m fine and lively as ever. I guess I can go to work tomorrow.”


    Christopher then muttered in a displeased tone, “Stop messing around. You have toy in bed for at least


    a month. Don’t get on my nerves anymore. It won’t do you any good. Can’t you be like the other women


    and make me happy?”


    Raising her head to look at him, Margaret asked, “Do you mean like Megan?”


    His breath froze while his face fell. Ignoring her, he then changed into his pajamas. She sure knows how


    to agitate me anytime and anywhere,


    When he was about to go to bed, she hurriedly snatched the nket and stuttered, “C-Can you please


    help me take something from downstairs?”


    Although he was slightly flustered, he nodded and asked, “What is it?”


    “I… I want a banana.” Obviously, she was just making an excuse so that she could smuggle Tabby out of


    the room. She did not think of the fact that Christopher would go to bed earlier due to exhaustion from his


    business trip. Usually, he would sleep


    A confused look hung on Christopher’s face as he turned and left.


    Then, Margaret quickly picked Tabby up and put it outside the room. However, thetter leaped onto the


    bed again, making her heart sink.


    “Come on, Tabby. A tiger ising to eat you. Aren’t you scared? You’re not allowed to enter the room.


    Why don’t you go downstairs and y with Elizabeth? Be good and hurry now. The tiger will be here


    soon, urged Margeret with a gentle voice.


    However, no matter what she had said, Tabby wouldn’t listen to her. Right then, Christopher arrived


    upstairs with a te of fruits in his hands. Having no choice, she hid Tabby under the nket again.


    “Don’t eat too much.” Christopher ced the te next to the bed, lifted the nket, andy on the bed.


    He‘s acting so strange today. Why is he so good to me? However, she couldn’t be bothered by anything


    else now. Then, shey cautiously next to Christopher while keeping Tabby on her left.


    “Why aren’t you eating?” he asked suddenly.


    “What?” Gripping Tabby’s moving paws, Margaret was lost in her thoughts.


    “The bananas.”


    “I-I don’t feel like eating now. I-I’ll keep it forter,” stuttered Margaret as she came up with an excuse.


    However, Christopher sat up and brought a piece of the peeled banana to her mouth and said, “Finish it


    and go to bed. It’ste now. I have a meeting early in the morning.”


    As she didn’t have any appetite, she refuted, “You can have it. I don’t want it.”


    Raising his brows and curling his lips, he replied, “I don’t eat bananas.”


    Her cheeks suddenly blushed as she wondered if his words were implying something else. Is he getting


    horny?

    To lighten the mood, she took a bite and swallowed hard. “I have enough. Can you take the rest out? It’ll


    smell if we leave them here.”
