Chapter237
At the sight of Charlie and Jonathan, Leah, who had answered the door and now was dumbstruck there, instantly gave them a sickly smile, “How come I’m not informed of the visit of Charlie, Theresa! I should have got better prepared!” Despite her seemingly composure, Leah was totally rattled. Charlie came to knock as soon as Sarah was back, that meant he hadn’t given up yet. Leah began to regret she should have asked Sarah to stay outside longer. She got Sarah back only because she thought her daughter was not cared for while living outside alone, and that it might be safe enough as long as everything was committed secretly. Yet the Calsises just had been keeping an eye on her. Alas, Leah sighed, why couldn’t they let go of us when Theresa had taken the place of Sarah to marry Charlie!
Sarah greeted Charlie with an ingratiating smile, “Hi Charlie, it’s been a long time, isn’t it? How are you?” Although Charlie was the last man she’d like to marry now, she was aware she couldn’t afford to offend him.
“Guess.” Charlie regarded her coldly. How cheeky she was that she should have had the guts to ask about his situation!

“I guess everything is fine with you?” Sarah literally answered his rhetorical question. “My mother says you and my sister have been getting along with each other. Look, we are a family now. Could we forget about the past?” Sarah knew it clearly that her happiness lay greatly in the finance condition of the Camerons, although she was merely Johnson Cameron’s step daughter. It would be a disaster for her and her mother if Johnson really went bankrupt. She thus had to treat Charlie politely
to prevent that outcome.
