A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 114

“Me?” Sarah pointed at herself and looked at Charles in disbelief. She was getting offended by him, thinking that it was the biggest joke in the world. Once again, he was trusting the wrong person, while she, the innocent one, was being misunderstood again.

“I thought you knew everything, but I must be wrong. If I really had been against her before, I would say nothing now. But I didn’t do anything to her. She framed me against you, why should I make apologies for that? And did you think that I was against her just because she spoke ill of me? Charles, did you really see anything from her?”

Charles started to get irritated, especially after standing outside the ward for a whole night. He was tired and sleepy and not in the mood to argue with Sarah at all. “Stop! You always have your own reasons. You win, okay? Stop here. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I just thought you shouldn't care about the same thing for all this time!”

His response irritated Sarah, and she wouldn't just let it go now. Pulling his arm, she asked. “Am I? But for Emma being against me all the time, should I care about that? Charles, I finally understand that you will always favor her over me anything involving Emma. You always take her side, have you noticed it? Who is your wife? To keep a harmonious family, on whose side should you be?”

Charles started to feel uneasy. He shrugged her hands away and turned around, biting his lips. Hiding his unfriendly tone, he said. “Do you still want to buy breakfast with me? If you are angry, you can go back to the hospital, I will buy the food alone!”

He walked down the stairs, leaving Sarah standing alone. Sarah looked at his back. Unwilling to go with him now, she stood at the top of the stairs and watched him walk away. She was so angry at him and felt like a complete fool, always unable to deal with these kinds of confrontations. Every time she ended clashing with Charles.

Perhaps Charles would not think her to be considerate and that Emma was indeed better than her.

Sarah really didn’t know how to get along with men. She had always thought men and women to be equal and that if there was a problem, it had to be solved, but did every problem need to be spelled out to men to address it? Why should women play up to men? What was more, she hadn't asked anything from Charles, so why should she be tolerant of him?

She remembered her conversation with Lee at the pastry shop. Lee had called her arrogant. Maybe men liked arrogance at the beginning but got tired of it after some time, especially men like Charles, who were used to having many girlfriends and mistresses. Men like him would not tolerate arrogance for a long time, Lee had warned her.

Was it true? Was Charles tired of her? And given that there was another woman after him whom he saw as more tender and better at playing up to him… Sarah didn’t know why, but she suddenly started to feel very unconfident in her own abilities.

Was she really that bad and unable to keep a man? She was not willing to let Charles be snatched away by Emma, she wouldn't allow it. He was her husband, and she was going to fight for him.
