Chapter 184


    An Impossible Marriage


    Nina‘s face paled to a ghastly white as she grumbled, “I‘m staying in Christopher‘s house, yet I have to


    give in to your cat? Hey, I‘m the human here. So, why do I have to tolerate a cat? Why can‘t you just put


    it in the yard? Letting it inside will only bring germs, and fur, along with its potential wild nature. All these


    are detrimental to us.” She paused for a bit before adding, “Not to mention that your body is also weak


    now. If you were to get pregnant again, you would have to screen for parasite infection, for the baby


    might end up having birth defects or even bing a stillborn baby!”


    Straightening up her back, Margaret yelled through gritted teeth, “Why don‘t you just stop staying here,


    then? I‘m thedy of this house, so I don‘t think I need approval from anyone before I rear my own pet,


    let alone from a guest like you!” She then went on, “Look. I know it‘s Tabby‘s fault to hurt you. But it


    would not scratch you for no reason, okay? I am so sorry. Why don‘t I pay for your vination? Will that


    be okay?”


    Wearing a darkened countenance, Nina covered the wound on her arm and ran to the room upstairs.


    The sound of her mming the door came clear as a bell downstairs.


    Perhaps Christopher had overheard the women‘s conversation. He went into Nina‘s room, seemingly to


    be discussing something. Soon enough, Nina dragged her luggage out of the room and stormed


    downstairs while talking on the phone.


    Judging by her tone, she was most likely on the line with her father, Charles.


    Christopher grabbed her phone in an instant and said, “It‘s not that serious, Mr. Moore. Meg‘s just in a


    bad mood because of the miscarriage, and Nina merely got scratched by my cat. I‘ll bring Nina to the


    clinicter. Everything‘s fine, so don’t worry.”


    Margaret, in turn,pletely ignored them. They can do whatever they want to. If worsees to worst,


    let me be the scapegoat, then. It’s no big deal.


    Nina, however, did not seem to have the intention to leave. As soon as she hung up the phone, she


    comined to Christopher with reddened eyes, “So, it‘s my fault to be scratched by the cat? Why did she


    have to talk like that? You heard that, too, right? She said she‘s thedy of this house, and she said that


    right to my face as if I‘m fighting over it!” She continued toment, “Back when we knew each other, she


    wasn‘t even there! If my father didn‘t ask me to stay here aftering back from abroad, I don‘t even


    want toe here! He already bought me a house, but I can‘t move in yet because of the renovation.


    Otherwise, I wouldn‘t have to be pushed around like this!”


    Christopher was starting to lose his patience, but he had no idea who he needed to me,


    Without saying a word, he dragged Nina‘s luggage back to the room. In the end, Nina sull followed him


    downstairs and sat by the dining table, getting ready for dinner,


    At that juncture, Tabby was suill hiding under the couch, refusing toe out, Margaret merely sat


    beside Tabby. She had to choke back her anger and live with it, but she did not want Tabby to


    suffer the same fate.


    “It‘s time for dinner, Margaret,” Christopher called out to her.


    Margaret mumbled, “I‘m not eating.”


    Suppressing his emotion, Christopher approached her and pulled her up from the floor. “Are you still a


    kid? Come and have dinner!” Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At that point, Margaret had had enough of his hypocritical acts. She flung his hands off and fumed, “If


    you can‘t hold back, you can just blow up. You know you can treat me the usual way. You don‘t have to


    pretend to be calm and collected, as I know you inside and out!”


    Christopher‘s face finally turned icy–cold. “I know you‘re upset with me because of Jenson, but we can


    slowly talk things out after dinner. Right now, you have to take your bloody dinner. Don‘t make me repeat


    myself!”


    Seeing Christopher‘s rage, Nina‘s pitiful visage instantly changed to shock. She had never seen that side


    of him. It was poles apart from his usual warm and gentle look.


    Margaret began to smirk, but her eyes darkened to pitch–ck. “Finally! That‘s the reaction I‘m looking


    for. You listen up. I don‘t want to have my dinner, and I don‘t want to share the same dining table with


    you. I just don‘t want to see your face! Now, if you‘re still unclear, I can repeat myself a million times


    over!”


    Silence engulfed the atmosphere. Elizabeth then hurried over to stand between the couple. “Let‘s have


    dinner first, Mrs. Lewis. You can talk about anything after dinner. Please don‘t always provoke Mr. Lewis.


    Please be good.”
