A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 119

They had already been married for a while now and had done it many times, so why was she so angry?

Charles finished with his tie and turned back to pick up his jacket from the bed when he saw Sarah’s bag wide open. He peaked in and saw a delicately packed present inside her purse. He picked it up to look at it more closely, it was Zegna's tie. He couldn't help wondering what it was.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he quickly put the present back into the bag and pretended to still be working on adjusting his suit.

Sarah came back and thought his behavior was a little strange. She glanced at him but didn't see anything unusual. Without further paying attention to him, she continued searching for her key.

Charles became more optimistic, thinking that the gift was apparently for him, but maybe Sarah didn’t give it to him yet because of their incident and her being angry last night. Why didn't she give it now as an excuse to make up? There was no big deal after all, and no need to continue the quarrel.

He buttoned his suit jacket, straightened up properly, and said to Sarah, “I’m going out.”

Sarah had no idea why he suddenly broke the silence by talking to her. She paused a little and then replied in a low voice, “Yes.”

Charles looked at her. Just yes? Wasn’t she going to say something? Wasn’t she going to give him the tie that was in her bag? Was she collecting ties?

Insinuating, he asked, “Do you want me to bring you something? Recently I haven't bought you any gifts. What do you want?”

He was quite obvious, and courtesy demands reciprocity. Sarah should know it! He intended to give her a gift, so she had to give him a gift in return.

But Sarah still remained calm, “No, there’s nothing to buy. You can go to work now!”

Charles felt annoyed. Didn't she notice that he was trying to make peace? Raising his eyebrows, he asked. “That’s all?”

Sarah saw him pacing back and forth in front of the door. She was ready to go, so she grabbed her bag and just said. “I am going to the hospital to take care of your dad now!” And walked out without further hesitation.

Charles watched her walking away, indifferently. Once the door was closed behind her, he cursed in frustration, “Fuck!”
