Chapter 123

Elizabeth smiled meaningfully and replied, “Oh, you don’t mean anything by it, do you? Why do you look

so shy then? Mr. Lewis called and said that he would not be eating at home today. You should wash up

and get ready to eat.”

Margaret didn’t bother explaining herself. After showering, she obediently sat at the table. Staring at the

dishes served, Margaret subconsciously landed her gaze on the vacant seat opposite her. That was

Christopher’s seat.

After I meet Mr. Xenos tomorrow and find out what happened all those years ago, I might be able to

finally sit down and have a proper meal with Christopher…

After finishing her meal, Margaret walked around the garden before returning to her room. As she was

pregnant, she felt drowsy all the time. Thus, Margaret slept early that day. She was resting so soundly

that she didn’t even notice when Christopher came back and took a bath. It was only when she woke up

in the middle of the night that she realized Christopher was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

“You’re home?” asked Margaret in a daze.

Christopher stayed silent. However, Margaret could not be bothered by his lack of reaction. All she

wanted was to empty her full bladder and return to her sleep as soon as possible.

As she was walking toward the door, Christopher suddenly said in a cold voice, “Why did Jack give you

money?”

Upon hearing that, Margaret stood still as she was startled. Feeling much more awake now, she

demanded, “Were you investigating me?”

Margaret was shocked that Christopher had extra time to check on her. How could he know my every

move?

Christopher didn’t reply to her question. Hence, she took his silence as an admission of guilt. “It’s for Jo.

He wants to give it to her as compensation for their breakup. I’m just the middle person,” explained

Margaret.

After finishing her sentence, she went downstairs to use the bathroom there. Until now, they still used

separate bathrooms. Under normal circumstances, she would not use the room’s attached bathroom,

especially when Christopher was at home.

When she returned to the room, Christopher was not there anymore. He must have

gone to the study.

With that thought in mind, Margaret made some black tea and brought it to him. The whole time, the two

didn’t communicate with each other.

Early next morning, Margaret packed up and left to meet with Jodie at the train station.

Following the address on the letter, they bought two tickets. The journey there would take three hours.

On the way there, Margaret felt an indescribable feeling of excitement. I’ve waited for a long time to

unravel the truth.

Jodie grew up living a comfortable life and had never been on a train before. Thus, she was excited as

this was her first trip by train. “Meg, after we figure out everything about your dad’s incident, let’s use this

weekend for a short getaway and relax.”

At that moment, Margaret wasn’t in the mood to think about a vacation. Instead, she lowered her head

and looked at the letter in her hands. “Jo, I’ve never thought that my dad was the person who caused the

deaths of so many people. I can’t believe people criticized him for so many years. I bet he couldn’t rest in

peace even in his death. After figuring out the truth behind this incident, I want to let the world know that

my dad was innocent.”

Jodie held Margaret’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. We will get to the bottom of things. Can’t you see that

we are getting closer and closer to the truth? Look at the beautiful scenery outside. Why are you still

submerging yourself in your sorrow? When you obtain the evidence, you can show it to Christopher. If

you guys decide to continue living together, you must make him treat you better!”

When Jodie mentioned Christopher’s name, Margaret felt better immediately. All this while, she had

wanted to prove her innocence so she could stand before Christopher confidently and not retract her

gaze whenever their eyes met.

A three-hour journey was neither long nor short. After the train stopped, Margaret immediately took her

bag and hopped off the train excitedly. Jodie, who followed behind, shouted, “Oh my! Slow down! Don’t

forget you’re pregnant!”

At noon, the two followed the address and arrived at a dilapidated town. When Margaret and Jodie

reached the place, they noted how it seemed lifeless, Besides seeing elderlies strolling down the streets,

there were hardly any energetic youths there.
