An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 97

Inside the restaurant, the three friends were conversing as they enjoyed the food. Suddenly, a person entered the restaurant,

Jenson spotted the person almost immediately as he was facing the exit. After identifying that person as Waverly, his expression darkened.

Waverly spotted Jenson when she walked through the door. With her heels tapping the floor, she approached them and jokingly commented, “How could you have no time to spend with your fiancée when you have time for your friends? Jenson, you‘ve hurt me.”

Jodie, who was in utter shock, bit her fork and shifted her gaze between Jenson and Margaret. Not knowing how to deal with the situation before her, she decided to remain silent.

With a frown, Jenson asked, “How did you know that I‘m here?”

Waverly smiled and seated herself next to him. “Will you trust me if I tell you that I saw you when I happened to pass by the restaurant?”

Jenson did not respond to that. Instead, Margaret asked, “Have you eaten? You can have lunch with us if you don‘t mind.”

Waverly smiled at her and gestured at the waiter for another set of cutlery, “Do you guys have any plans after the meal? I‘m planning to go shopping with Jenson. Would you two like to join us?”

Margaret was the first to answer. “I can‘t. I have work.”

Jodie immediately followed. “I have to take care of my father. You two do have fun.”

Waverly, with a disappointed expression, said, “Well, if so, I guess it‘s just the two of us, then.”

Soon, Jenson put down his fork and declared, “I‘m done eating.”

Waverly, with a shrimp in her mouth, widened her eyes innocently and said, “Why do you eat so little? The food is quite nice. You should eat more.”

Her carefree personality was somewhat similar to Jodie‘s, which made Jodie feel quite comfortable interacting with her. Upon seeing Jenson‘s grim expression, Jodie Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

responded, “Don‘t mind him. He cats like a bird. Do eat more if you like the food.”

Waverly then shifted her attention back to her food. She was the last to finish her food too. After that, she wiped her mouth and informed, “I need to go to the restroom. Do wait for me, Jenson.”

Upon entering the restroom, she immediately induced vomit. if it weren‘t because of Jenson, I won‘t touch any of the food here. I almost threw up when I ate the first bite! She could not stand a low–class restaurant.

After throwing everything up, she washed away the bitter taste in her mouth with water. She then looked up to check herself in the mirror, and a chilly smile appeared on her face. “I‘ll make you pay for all the suffering I‘ve gone through, Margaret.”

When Waverly got out of the restroom, she even settled the bill. However, before she walked away, she commented, “Your restaurant‘s food is rubbish.”

The cashier‘s face went pale immediately at her comment. Waverly‘s face was full of disdain when she made the comment, but when she turned to face Jenson, the disdain was replaced with a sweet smile. “Let‘s go now, I‘ve paid the bill.”

Jodie felt sorry for letting her pay the bills. “It‘s supposed to be my treat. Please tell me the amount. I shall pay you back.”

Waverly wrapped her arms around Jenson‘s and smiled. “Don‘t worry about it. Since you‘re his friend, you‘re my friend too. It‘s not a big amount anyway. Do let me know if you guys are having another gathering.”

Jenson, who was eager to leave, urged, “Let‘s go.”

Margaret watched them leave silently, and she could feel disappointment filling her heart. Things have changed now. What‘s gone is gone forever.

Jodie grabbed Margaret‘s hand when she noticed the latter‘s expression. “Let‘s go, Meg. Stop looking at them.”

After hearing Jodie‘s voice, Margaret instinctively explained, “I’m fine. It‘s just that I‘m married, and he‘s engaged. That‘s good.”

Jodie noticed the pain behind her friend‘s facade, but she did not expose her. “Honestly, does Christopher really like you? How could he not buy a ring for you after you‘re married for three years? If you two are not suitable for each other, it‘s better to end things sooner than later.“
