President's Substitute Wife

This time I said, “later you have to tell me where you want to go. I’ll take you there. Don’t go by yourself.”

Margaret nodded in my arms and said, “OK.”

We took her home and asked the police to cancel the case.

The servant brought Margaret a bowl of porridge and she ate it quickly. She didn’t seem to eat in a day.

I poured her a cup of hot tea.

Nelson sat and watched the whole process.

Instead of driving him away, I said, “tell her what you want to say. After that you have to leave as soon as possible.”

To be honest, I was really afraid that Margaret was as stupid as I used to be and cheated by bad men.

When I finished, the atmosphere in the living room cooled down.

Murray took a look and got angry and went upstairs first.

When he left, before Nelson spoke, Margaret said, “Nelson, I don’t blame you for the past.”

All three of us looked at Margaret.

We were very clear about it.

I was standing by now and listening to Margaret. She was hurt, but she was humble. I really felt bad.

Nelson listened to Margaret and was ashamed, “Margaret, I’m sorry. I didn’t insist, but you have to believe that I really loved you and really wanted to marry you.”

Bad men always said that.

I said in my heart.

Margaret looked up at him and nodded, “I don’t blame you, but you have a family now. Let bygones be bygones.”

I was relieved to hear that.

Nelson listened to her and relaxed. He took a card out of his pocket and put it on the table. He said, “Margaret, I was sorry for you. This is my compensation. Don’t pester me later. I’m old now and just want my family to be safe.”

Margaret and I were stunned.
