Sarah stood quickly up, said surprisingly, "Charles……" Not expecting to see him here, she was worried that she had just said. She wasn't a person who could show her real feelings all the time. What would Charles think of her after knowing her true feelings?
Sarah looked at Charles's face carefully. He was just staring at her with a long face. Feeling restless, she nipped her skirt subconsciously.
Daniel also stood up and turned to look at Charles, who was behind him. They looked at each other for a little while until Daniel finally asked Sarah, "Your husband?"
Sarah nodded, still looking at Charles. She was afraid of whether he would be angry or not because she didn't tell him that she would have a meal with her friend. After all, Charles was a very possessive man.
Daniel hadn't expected to see Charles, the president of the Thomas Group. He thought that Charles was good looking, but that with those looks, he must have had many love affairs.
Charles also looked at Daniel, who was now standing in front of him and only thought that he was gentle with a handsome face. Women mostly like such men. As Charles knew, Sarah wasn't very resistant to the charms of such a person.
Thinking of his wife, he decided not to make a scandal. So, he walked towards Sarah with a smile and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were having a meal outside? Maybe you could introduce me to your friend."
She was not expecting that Charles would be so kind towards her. Sarah finally felt reassured. However, she suddenly felt flustered when she realized that Charles was not such a bad person.
Now that things had happened, she couldn't change it anymore. Following Charles's lead, she introduced them to each other. "This is Daniel Frank, he's like my big brother. He was my neighbor when I lived in my grandma's house during my childhood. He's three years older than me. When I was little, he always took care of me."
Then she pointed at Charles and resumed, "This is my husband, Charles. You should know him."
Daniel nodded and looked at Charles with a faint smile.
Charles held Sarah's shoulder naturally and smiled, "He is three years older than you. That's to say, he's younger than me." He turned to Daniel and reached out his hand, "Mr. Frank. Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you!" Daniel returned his greeting naturally.
Feeling a harmonious atmosphere between them, Sarah felt relieved. The three sat down and resumed their meal. Sarah lowered her head and ate silently for fear of saying something wrong, letting the two men talk about their careers and ambitions. It turned out that they had many familiar topics and interests.
Not long after, they started to talk about Sarah, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She felt both were looking at her.
Daniel said, "She was stubborn when she was young, and not susceptible to accept others' kindness. When she came to her grandma's house the first time, I tried to care for her. But she thought that I had sympathy for her and rejected me." Daniel shook his head and smiled.
Charles answered, "She is still stubborn now. I spent a lot of time chasing her."
Daniel smiled bitterly, "Yes, it was challenging. Sarah seldom falls in love with someone. When she was young, she trusted me the most. She isn't easily conquered." Then Daniel looked at Sarah.
Sarah felt his words were little hostility, which could make Charles misunderstand him. She just bit her lip and thought what on earth they were going to say next.
However, Charles smiled as he suddenly held Sarah's shoulder, pulling her into his arms. "She is my wife now. She only loves me!"
