A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 23

“Is it all right?” Emma questioned. There was still no answer. Emma had already suspected that Sarah was passionless. She didn’t know what to do, so she looked away and interlocked her fingers, resting them on the table. “I think waiting is wonderful. Good faith moves mountains and always provides good results just as long as you can be patient. I don’t know why you are unwilling to wait. Actually, I think my brother…”

“You came here for your brother?” Sarah interrupted coldly. She had decided she had given up on the idea of a future with Charles forever. She didn’t want any explanation.

Emma was stunned. She looked down again at her hands, “I think the problems between you and my brother were caused by me, mostly.”

“You think too much.” Sarah interrupted her again because she didn’t want to feel embarrassed in front of Emma even if her problems were indeed caused by Emma’s sudden appearance in their lives. She was jealous, so of course, there were miscommunications between her and Charles, which were made even more complicated by Emma. However, if she admitted that, she would be acknowledging that she thought Emma was far more charming than Sarah, and that’s why she was so jealous of her. She couldn’t possibly do that, and she would lose face in front of her rival.

Sarah was always so weak in front of her rival in love. She could no longer continue to feel like such a loser.

Interrupted again by Sarah, Emma finally knew that Sarah didn’t care about what she had to say. She could tell that Sarah had decided to give up.

However, Emma still held so much guilt in her heart, so she felt compelled to say, “Even if it is not my fault, Charles is still my brother. I don’t want you to destroy his happiness because of a misunderstanding. I have a responsibility to fight for my brother.”

Sarah looked at Emma, doubtfully. She was clearly struggling to find any truth in what Emma was saying. She had come to persuade Sarah that Charles was a good man and to forgive him, but was Emma actually sincere, or did she have an ulterior motive?

Emma noticed Sarah finally looked up at her and continued to speak, “I think my brother really loves you. I have never seen him care about another woman in such a way.”

Emma fell silent when the waiter came over and served them their coffee. Neither of them said anything until the waiter had walked away. Sarah sneered, “It seems that your brother cares about you so much that he is unable to consider anyone else’s feelings at all.”

Emma lowered her gaze and said timidly, “Actually, I saw how much he cared about you this time. He was waiting for you downstairs for several days. He hasn’t paid any attention to his work. Can’t you see what it’s doing to him?”

Sarah couldn’t bring herself to give in to Emma’s sweet words after everything Charles had done to her. This time, she was unwilling to trust him no matter how much he seemed to have changed.

Emma looked at Sarah pleadingly, “So, please give another chance to my brother. Please!”

“I have given your brother many chances, but he has broken my heart again and again!”
