A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 18

On the way home, everyone in the car was silent. Sitting in the back seat, Emma looked at Charles and Sarah and tried not to say anything so as not to create more awkwardness.

Finally, they arrived at Emma’s apartment. Seeing Charles was preparing to escort her upstairs, Emma quickly stopped him and said, “Brother, I can go upstairs by myself. It’s so cold outside, go back home.” She then got out of the car and ran upstairs quickly.

When they were alone again in the car, Charles turned to Sarah and said to her angrily, “Couldn’t you be more polite? My sister hasn’t come back for a long time. Why are you angry with her? I have told you many times how she is my friend, and you still won’t accept her.

Hearing his complaints, Sarah felt angry again. In his eyes, everything she did was wrong. He already knew that she didn’t like Emma, but he still ignored her and talked with Emma happily when having dinner. She could stand this because she knew they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. When she had ordered just one dish, Charles immediately refused it just because Emma didn’t like the smell of it. Before getting into the car, she had already said that she was uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he still forced her into the car just so he wouldn’t hurt Emma’s feelings. Had he taken care of her feelings? He only wanted to meet all of Emma’s demands and didn’t even care about whether his actions had made Sarah sad. He told her that he didn’t love his sister anymore, but why did his behavior give her the feeling that Emma was more important than her in Charles’s mind?

Thinking about these things made Sarah even angrier, but she didn’t want to argue with him. She quickly got out of the car and left. She no longer wanted to talk with this man.

Charles shouted at her, “Sarah, what do you want me to do?”

Sarah quickened her pace, ignoring his call to her, so Charles had to get out of the car in order to get close enough to talk to her. All of this was witnessed by Emma, who stood at the window of her apartment. She saw that Charles ran to stop Sarah and ask her, and then they argued with each other. However, they still tried to repress their voices because they didn’t want to be noticed by anyone passing by. Emma also noticed how irritable Charles was when talking to Sarah as he grabbed his hair.
