An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 71

Sticking out her tongue, Megan answered, “Okay. I know you're afraid that your image will be ruined if someone takes a picture of us. I understand your feelings.”

The exhibition officially started fifteen minutes later. It first began with showcasing the most fashionable clothes during the spring. The models were all tall and slender, and they demonstrated the elegance of the clothes perfectly. Margaret was an expert in the line, and she could not help but praise the event for having a fantastic quality. After all, it was not odd to expect such an impressive quality from Christopher's company.

A trace of unhappiness was written on Christopher's face when he turned to look at Margaret. How can she be so focused on the fashion exhibition?

Margaret did not notice Christopher's gaze on her. Instead, she was immersed in the event, with praises flooding the venue. After a short break, the event continued with the wedding dress exhibition. She instantly became more attentive, waiting for her product to shine on the stage. Although she was not involved in manufacturing the final product, she was the one who drafted the design.

Time continued to tick on, and the event was coming to an end soon. She was confused as the thought struck her. Since I'm not from Christopher's company, my design can't be the last display at the show. Is he trolling with me if my design isn't the last to appear?

Just then, the melodious music started playing at the scene. A tall and fair model walked up the stage in a wedding dress. Margaret held her breath, noticing the dress was her product, and it was a grand finale.

It was a long dress, long enough to cover until the model's ankle. The dress was noble and elegant without a long train. It was not revealing, similarly to Margaret's style of dressing. She even designed white gloves and a veil to match the gorgeous dress. She did not use a lot of jewelry to embellish the design of the dress. Instead, she emphasized exquisite embroideries on the dress and added some gems to bring out the sense of elegance.

Margaret initially thought the design of the dress was way too plain to garner Christopher's interest. She had never expected the dress to be Christopher's favorite.

After the exhibition, the people started leaving the venue. When Margaret stood up and was about to leave, she noticed Megan and Christopher were having a pleasant conversation. Margaret chose to walk away and dropped the thought of asking Christopher to go back with her.

She waited for the car, standing at the intersection. Suddenly, Christopher's car stopped in front of her. After confirming Megan was not in the car, Margaret only opened the door and got into the car.

Margaret did not inquire why Megan was not with him. Margaret knew that Christopher cared a lot about his image, especially when they were in public. He would act like he had a very close relationship with Margaret, as she was his “legal wife.” However, things would be different when they were out of the people's sight, and Christopher would do whatever he wanted at that time. Along the journey, Noah asked, “Mr. Lewis, where are we going?”

Christopher did not answer. In fact, he looked like he was pondering a destination.

Margaret had gastric pain as she had not had her dinner, and it was already eight o“clock. Her stomach was acting up.

After a short contemplation, Christopher instructed, “Let's go to Water Bay Restaurant.”

Noah nodded before accelerating the car. Water Bay Restaurant was a favorite dining venue for the wealthy people in the city. Their food was pricey, but the taste was superb.

Christopher preferred to dine in a quiet environment. Hence, he walked into a private room after reaching the restaurant. He passed Margaret a menu, urging her to order the food. With a smile, he said gently, “Meg, please order the food.”

A hint of admiration flashed in the young waitress’ eyes when she saw that. She introduced their new dishes diligently, “Mrs. Lewis, the first page is our new dishes. Do you want to try?”

Margaret was not used to his abrupt gentleness, knowing that he was merely putting on an act in front of outsiders. She felt uneasy and lost her desire to order. Hence, she ordered a few dishes without deep consideration.

Christopher returned to his usual cold and indifferent demeanor after the waitress left the room. It was as though that man who talked in a gentle voice just a moment ago was a completely different person.
