A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 79

Sarah walked downstairs, not looking too good. Mr. Thomas came from his study and asked. “What’s the matter?” Christina must also have heard something also and knew that they had been arguing in their room.

Hearing Mr. Thomas’s concerned voice, Sarah didn't know how to answer without revealing what was happening, not to worry him, so she just took a deep breath to calm herself down and said. “Nothing, dad, don’t worry about it.”

Christina stood up from the sofa and said, frowning. “Just see what she looks like, there clearly is something.”

Sarah knew that Christina had just come home and couldn't help looking at her with a disdained gaze and an uneasy feeling. She knew that Christina was happy to see her having problems with Charles.

Not wanting to cause any more confusion, Sarah looked down and said as calmly as possible. “Dad, Mom, I played an inappropriate joke on Charles, and he wasn't so happy with me, that's why I came downstairs, but don’t worry.” She paused for a while and then added, “I'm going out to buy something.”

What she really wanted was to escape, but she obviously couldn't say that and had to make up an excuse.

To her surprise, Mr. Thomas stopped her. “It’s time for dinner. Don’t go out now. If there is something you really need, just tell the servants to get it for you.”

“No, I’d better go myself. They're all busy. I can go and come back quickly, it won’t take long.” She smiled faintly before lowering her gaze and walking out.

Christina sneered disdainfully and sat back down on the sofa.

Mr. Thomas felt helpless, not knowing how to help. He turned around and saw Charles standing on top of the stairs, looking at them silently. It is evident that he had been standing there as a whole. Mr. Thomas wanted to call him, but Charles quickly returned back to his room, slamming the door behind him, not leaving a chance for anyone to approach him.

Mr. Thomas had just raised his hand to say something. Slowly lowering his hand while thinking what to do next, he turned to Christina and said. “I’ll go out to find Sarah,” and walked out.

Sarah started to feel more relieved after leaving the house. The house was so cold, and it was so hard to get along with everyone. It was so depressing. She felt as if a burden was lifted off her shoulders just by walking out of that house.

Since she didn't really want to go buy anything, she didn’t know where to go and just wandered around. This was an affluent neighborhood with well-decorated villas. Except for the occasional limousines passing by, the streets were empty since only people who lived in this area could come into the community. The roads were quiet and peaceful.
