Chapter 130

After a long time, Hannah spoke up. “Justin, if you don’t wish for me to be involved with Nicholas even

the slightest bit or for me to reconcile with Margaret as her mother, then don’t ask me to look for her!”

Justin instantly deflated, but there was obviously suppressed rage and dissatisfaction in his tone. “I only

want results.”

She took a deep breath and said, “There isn’t any result yet, but there will be soon… Just wait.”

For the sake of the Jenkins family, she deceived Margaret by claiming to be ill with cancer. In fact, she

also said that it was all thanks to her that Christopher was giving Megan the cold shoulder so that

Margaret would think it was her efforts that stopped Megan from remaining entangled with him.

As a mother, she felt unbelievably disgusted with herself and extremely disappointed with Justin, a man

who was utterly useless other than possessing exceptional looks and a silver tongue. In the end, the

survival of the Jenkins family solely depended on her, a woman.

The weather was slightly chilly that night.

Margaret stood in front of the window in the room, gazing at the night scenery outside. Her heart was all

over the place. At some point, it began to drizzle.

When she saw the headlights of a car from a distance, she adjusted her clothes with her long, delicate

fingers and turned to go downstairs.

A few minutes later, Christopher entered the house drenched. With a dry towel in hand, she walked up to

him and remarked, “It’s raining, so the weather’s colder now. Don’t catch a cold. You should hurry up and

take a shower.”

However, he did not accept the towel from her, nor did he even cast a glance at her. Instead, he walked

past her and headed upstairs,

Without the slightest hint of awkwardness, she sat down on the couch and placed the towel on its

armrest.

Not long after, Christopher came downstairs after his shower, Droplets of water came trickling down his

short, black hair. As he passed by the couch, he casually picked up the towel to dry his hair. That little

action of his gave Margaret the courage to

approach him once more.

“Why did you reject the collaboration with the Jenkins family?” she asked forthrightly.

The man replied flatly, “Because the cons outweigh the benefits. Why else?”

Margaret moved her lips, but she did not speak immediately. After a brief moment of deliberation, she

inquired, “Is there still room for discussion?”

Christopher’s arms that were drying his hair froze. He looked at her with a glint of mockery in his eyes.

“Are you pleading on behalf of the Jenkins family?”

Nervously clenching her fists, the young woman remained calm as she uttered, “Hannah came looking

for me. She promised me that if I could convince you to cooperate with the Jenkinses, she would not

appear in front of me ever again. I’m merely doing this to repay her for giving birth to me. I don’t want to

get involved with her anymore.”

When he lowered his gaze, a hint of disappointment seemed to flash across his eyes. “Is that all there is

to it?”

Feeling somewhat guilty, she looked away from him. In the end, she decided to come clean. “And… she

promised to get Megan to distance herself from you. Of course, I can’t do anything if you want to be with

Megan, but my actions are fully justified.”.

Christopher tapped his slender fingers slowly on the seat of the couch beside him as if he was deep in

thought. “So… are you doing this to get Megan away from me… Or to draw a clear boundary with

Hannah? Or… for both reasons?”

Margaret dared not read too much into his question, so she chose the vaguest option. “For both

reasons..”

Instead of giving her an immediate reply, he stood up and walked to the side to answer a phone call.

At the dining table, Margaret was so anxious that she did not even dare to eat too fast. Seeing as

Christopher ate slower than her, she could not resist the urge to place some extra food onto his plate.

Her main concern was that there would not be any food left for him when she finished.

Even though there were multiple dishes laid out for them on the table based on their usual appetite, the

portions were quite small. Moreover, her appetite had been increasing as of late.

Noticing her actions, he assumed that she was just eager to receive an answer from him. Thus, he

stared at her coolly and said, “I’ll give it some thought. You don’t have to be in such a rush to please me.”

.

Margaret lowered her head in silence. I’ll ask Elizabeth to prepare a couple more dishes tomorrow

onward so that we can avoid the awkward situation of there not being enough food…
