Sarah didn't want to argue with him anymore, especially after he mentioned his mother and took her words over her again without answering her questions. She was tired of listening to Charles' excuses and didn’t expect him to be so persistent to question her. She really hated talking with him like this, especially in public, so she shook off his restraining hand and said firmly. “Charles, I’ve already answered you, so please just stop, ok?”
However, Charles didn’t let go of her. “Sarah, are you really that cold-blooded? I’ve done so many things for you, haven’t I? Don’t you realize that?”
Sarah didn’t want to hear him and didn’t want to continue arguing, so she shook his hands off more forcefully and strode away.
All she had wanted was to visit Mr. Thomas, but to her surprise, she had run into Christina and Charles, and the whole ordeal had started. Perhaps, it was inappropriate for her to visit Mr. Thomas under the current circumstances. Sarah couldn't understand why she and Charles always clashed with each other over the last few weeks, and no one was willing to compromise. She was tired of this situation, both physically and mentally.
She also felt very sleepy recently and found it hard to get up in the morning at times. She was taking care of Mr. Thomas every day, and to her annoyance, Christina and Emma used any chance they got to deliberately complicate everything for her, now even Charles was acting up against her to the point where he had physically hurt her. Sarah couldn’t tolerate this anymore! She didn’t want to argue with anyone anymore!
All she wanted was to be alone.
Charles shouted after her, “Sarah, Sarah!”
Sarah ignored him and started to walk even faster, but Charles quickly caught up with her and dragged her back by her hand.
Sarah hadn't expected him to use force on her and immediately started to struggle to free herself from him.
“Charles, let me go, what are you doing?” She yelled.
Charles didn’t stop, but rather dragged her into an empty staircase. Daniel, who had been watching them anxiously, shouted, “Charles, what are you doing?”
Emma, who was standing behind them and watching everything with great satisfaction, followed them with the hopes of watching them continue to fight.
Once at the empty staircase, Charles let Sarah go. His powerful grip made her hand hurt, which enforced Sara's idea that he didn't care about her anymore since this was the second time he had hurt her today. Aggravated, she shouted at him, “Charles, what do you want to do?”
Noticing that Daniel and Emma were following them, Charles closed the door to be alone with Sarah. “Today, we must make things clear! What are you taking me for? Have you ever loved me?”
Sarah thought his words ridiculous, shouldn’t she ask him this? She hadn’t questioned him about what he was doing with Emma, and she had done anything wrong, why was he questioning her? Frustrated, she sneered, “Charles, do you think you are in a position to ask me this?”
