A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 117

Sarah was the only one who stayed with him over the last few days. She felt sad for him because the rest of the family usually only came to visit him at night. In their defense, she said, "They’re all busy at work. I'm the one who is free at home and can come to you more often. Mrs. Thomas is very concerned about you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t come to visit you every night!"

Mr. Thomas smiled bitterly. Sarah was unsure if it was an approving or denying smile. Instead of continuing to talk about them, he changed the topic casually. “Is Charles running the company now?”

“He has been very busy these days but hasn’t explained to me in detail what he does. But whatever it is, I’m sure he can deal with it. He has always run his own company, and he’s outstanding in the business.”

“Aren't you bored at home? Don’t you want to work there too?” He asked.

Sarah didn’t know what he meant, so she paused for a moment before she answered. “I want to help, but someone needs to take care of the family, and… After all, I didn’t study management and can’t hold a candle to Charles or Emma, so my presence there wouldn’t be of much help.” She said, distressed.

Mr. Thomas tapped her hand. “Girl, I know you want to work, and I know what my wife thinks about it. Although I’m sick, I can see clearly what my wife has done. Emma is my daughter, but you are also my child. I treat you all the same without preference for anyone. If anything, I prefer you, given that you and Charles are married after all. No matter what they do behind your back, I'll support you as long as I’m here. I won’t allow such things to be done!”

Sarah looked at Mr. Thomas in surprise. She didn't really understand what he meant, did he know about what was going on between her and Emma?

When Mr. Thomas saw her reaction, he tapped her hand again in comfort. “Don’t worry, I will deal with Emma and Christina. You don’t need to be afraid!”

It seemed that he knew more about what was going on. Sarah didn’t know what to say. She needed the support, but given how sick her father-in-law was, was it appropriate to burden him with her concerns? What would happen if he knew everything?

Not knowing what to do, she just remained silent and looked down to avoid looking at Mr. Thomas’s face.
