A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 37

"You have no respect at all. How on earth has Charles taken a fancy to you!" Mrs. Thomas replied bitterly.

Sarah sneered, "Mrs. Thomas, do you really know your own son? Mr. Thomas felt a little guilty about Charles because of the way he deprived him of attention during his early years. You, however, do you even care about your son? Do you know what he wants?"

"I'm his mother. I can give him the best thing in the world!" Mrs. Thomas hadn't expected Sarah to respond to her with such hostility.

Sarah looked at her calmly and said, "Mrs. Thomas, I thought you were a good mother before. After all, you care about Charles. Therefore, when you asked me to leave, I promised you I would. However, over time, I have discovered that you are disrespectable and disillusioned. You never make allowances for others, including your son. You never got to know your son, and you never ask him what he wants. Instead, you impose what you think is good on him according to your will. You hardly consider that these good things may not be suitable for Charles. So, today I just want you to know that I will never consider your opinion again, no matter how you try to stop us. I love Charles, and we will be together forever!"

"Oh my god!" Mrs. Thomas had never been challenged in this way before. Her face flushed with shame, "Look at yourself! I always thought you were a decent girl, and you wouldn't badger with Charles for fame. Now, however, I see that I had you wrong. You are even more shameless than these girls who are only after fame and wealth!"

Suddenly, Sarah stood up and answered, "Mrs. Thomas, I am a decent girl, that's why I wouldn't play up to you, and that's why I challenge you when I think you are wrong. It seems as though you will never agree to it, but I still want to be with Charles. I would still take you as my mother-in-law for the wedding if you agree to be respectful. If you still show me disrespect, I will fight against you. I only hope we can have an equal and harmonious relationship."

"You!" Mrs. Thomas suddenly stood up and was about to quarrel further when a voice was heard shouting from a distance, "All right!" Mr. Thomas had returned, interrupting their conversation.

Mrs. Thomas immediately began arguing with him, "You see. This is who you chose! She has disrespected her elders before even becoming a part of our family."

Sarah seemed to realize how aggressive she had just been, so she lowered her head and kept silent.
