The next morning, Mr. Thomas woke up. Sarah was sleeping, lying on Charles’s shoulder, while Charles was leaning against the back of a chair, sleeping as well. After hearing some noise, Sarah woke up and saw that Mr. Thomas was about to get up. She sat up straight right away and asked in surprise, “Dad, you’ve woken up? What do you want to do?” Sarah rushed over to help him.
Mr. Thomas said, “It doesn’t matter. I just want to sit up. I feel tired while I’m lying down. Why are you here now? Wasn’t last night your wedding night?”
Sarah supported his body and helped him lean back against the headboard, with a pillow behind his back. She replied, “Dad, Charles, and I stayed here to take care of you. How do you feel now?”
“Why did you stay here? Wher
Sarah ran back to the ward in a hurry. While walking through the hallway, Sarah seemed to hear Mrs. Thomas and Emma’s voices around the corner, as if they were talking about her and Charles. At first, Sarah wasn’t sure about it, but after taking a peek, she saw that they were indeed there. So she stopped to listen to their conversation.Mrs. Thomas said, “I didn’t support you and Charles before, just because I was afraid of your family background. Alas, it was my fault. But now Charles has done the opposite of what I said and has married a girl from the outside. That girl has a poorer family background than you. As the saying goes, as for the son’s wife, an adopted girl is much better than an outside girl. I am on your side, Emma. Seize Charles back. I would rather you marry Charles than that girl.”Hearing these words, Sarah
Sarah thought that Mrs. Thomas would change her mind and then like her over time. And then her marriage would be happy. But now, it was impossible. Mrs. Thomas didn’t like her at all, and didn’t seem like she was open to ever liking Sarah one day – she just wanted to drive her away.Although she knew that Mr. Thomas and Charles would support her and that Emma didn’t mean to destroy her family, Sarah still felt uncomfortable, and even a little sad.She went back to the ward and found her cellphone. Mr. Thomas was sleeping, so she didn’t wake him up. She just glanced at him and was about to leave. Mrs. Thomas and Emma came back at this moment.Emma was surprised, “Sister, why are you here? When did you come back? I didn’t see you.”
"What's the matter? Charles asked when he saw her like this.Sarah shook her head and smiled, "Nothing.""You don't look happy. Why?" Charles insisted. "Is it…because you don't want to move back?"Sarah immediately shook her head, "No, you're overthinking it. I want to move back. If we don't move back, who would take care of your dad?"Charles laughed, "Even if we move back, we're still going on our honeymoon. It's impossible to do it at once, so don't stress yourself out too much. I know you lost your parents as a child and don't know how to get along with adults. Don't worry about it, and I'll help you."Sarah nodded and then said, "Let's go home. I want to rest. Perhaps we should see dad in the evening."
"You said my dad is ok?" Charles inquired."Don't you want me to be ok?" Mrs. Thomas snapped.Charles didn't respond but looked at Sarah, who was also surprised because he had been very sick before.Mrs. Thomas sighed. "Alas, the doctor says that it was just a relapse, the heart attack. He got too excited at your wedding, and something went wrong, but now after a few days of rest, he will be ok. If he takes his medicine on time and avoids strong emotions, he will be ok.""When can he leave the hospital?" Sarah asked.Mrs. Thomas rolled her eyes at Sarah and said to Charles. "Don't leave him alone over the following days, you should take good care of your father." Then she turned around and walked away. Emma stood beside them,
"Yep, I just got married a few days ago. I would have invited you to my wedding if I had known you were around." Sarah smiled happily.Daniel froze, staring straight at Sarah for a long time before he finally said. "You said you are married. Who is your husband?""You may not know him, but his name is Charles. He's the president of the Thomas Group." She responded, still smiling.Eyes wide open, Daniel replied. "Thomas Group? Of course, I know who that is. I often see Charles in magazines. I heard that he was one of the four most eligible bachelors and had gotten married a few days ago. I never expected that you were the bride. You married into a wealthy family!"Sarah nodded and answered with a bitter smile. "Actually, I don't care about money. All I'm looking for is th
Sarah stood quickly up, said surprisingly, "Charles……" Not expecting to see him here, she was worried that she just had 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.
Stopping at a traffic light, Charles suddenly remembered Sarah's words back at the restaurant. He looked at her and asked. "While you were talking with Daniel, I overheard you said you weren't happy…""No," Sarah quickly interrupted him.Seeing her nervous reactions, Charles grew more suspicious and insisted. "You don't have to lie to me. I want you to be happy."She looked at him and murmured. "I…I…"Holding her hand in his, Charles looked her in the eyes and said. "Sarah, aren't you happy? Why?"Hearing the worry in his gentle words, Sarah felt a little guilty and shook her head, saying. "It's not because of you. On the contrary, you always make me feel happy. Charles, you are my strength. After we got
Arriving home, Emma saw her mom sitting on the couch and weeping. Pausing at first, she hurriedly walked toward her. “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?”Cristina was agitated from all the crying. Looking up to Emma, she grabbed her hands and said. “Emma, you came!”Hugging Emma tightly, she sobbed. “I’m so sorry! It's all my fault. I hurt you before, and I hurt myself. Why was I so stupid at that time? How could I come between you and Charles? I'm sorry… I'm so sorry.” She said, sobbing.Emma didn’t know what had happened, her mom was acting so strange today. Although Christina had recently started to show pity towards her, this was the first time that she was blaming herself like this. Emma became worried. Tapping her mother's shoulder
Charles seemed satisfied with her answer. He hugged her and kissed her forehead as he said, “Maybe tomorrow… You’ll see something different!”Something different? What was different about Christina? Sarah didn’t understand what he meant but was reluctant to think about it any further. Their road ahead was still uncertain in terms of what Christina was concerned about. For now, she was tired and didn’t want to think about anything frightening.The next morning Charles got up early but didn't disturb Sarah. Their maid prepared breakfast for them, and when everything was ready, Charles went to wake Sarah up. When Sarah woke up, she found that it was only seven o’clock in the morning. It was still so early, so she asked, “Why did you get up so early?&r
It had been six months since Sarah gave Charles one last chance at the airport. They now were living happy and in love, far away from Christina and Emma. Their life had finally turned peaceful again, even though Charles was very busy maintaining two companies.Christina was serving a 3-year prison sentence, and Emma had gone to travel.Every night when Charles came home late, he looked exhausted to the point that he could hardly open his eyes. Sarah felt bad for him, but there was nothing she could do to alleviate his workload.As the only son, Charles was responsible for continuing the family business. The was now the head of both Thomas companies, and Sarah understood what he was going through.Previously she had been furious when he mentioned that his aunt would
It was 1:20 p.m. Sarah's flight had started boarding.Sarah got up, took her luggage, and was about to queue for the final security check before boarding, when suddenly someone stepped in front of her and grabbed her bags, preventing her from leaving.Sarah looked up and saw Charles’s aunt in front of her. Surprised, she asked coldly, “Aunt… You…What are you doing?”Her aunt simply responded. “Let’s talk!”Sarah looked at her for a moment and understood her intentions, then lowered her head and said. “No, I know what you want, but I’ve decided to leave for good. Charles and I brok
The police advised Charles to leave. Charles glanced at his mother but couldn't tolerate seeing her out of control and turned to leave. Christina's screams were heard from the outside as she resisted the police who were handcuffing her until she finally collapsed in sadness and anger.Charles turned to the wall, lowered his head, and punched the wall fiercely with his fist, decadent and frustrated. No matter what, that woman was his mother. Despite everything she had done to him, he still felt sad to see her in this condition.Daniel walked toward him and patted him on the shoulder. “I know it's hard. If it helps, cry it out. She is your mom after all, and nobody will blame you for feeling this way.”Charles turned around and looked at Daniel with red and wet eyes. It was evident that he was crying insid
Charles didn’t answer any of their questions. Instead, he took a microphone and looked straight at the camera with a worried and sad expression. After a long silence, he finally said.“You will get the answers to your questions later. For now, I need to say something. Sarah, where are you now? I’m sorry, but I’ve been waiting for you to come back. Are you watching this? I’ve been waiting for you. Can you hear me?” His eyes were filled with love and desperation. He looked gaunt and as if he was suffering from something. He looked like he was searching and waiting for her. His words sounded so sincere as if he was willing to do anything for her to come back.When seeing it, Sarah became even sadder and started to cry. She quickly wiped her tears and turned to leave in silence, without looking back.
Sarah answered in a hurry, “I'm not escaping, I just want to see the news. Something is going on, and I need to see it! Please let me see the news.” Sarah threw all her belongings and started to run.The two guys were about to chase her but had to be careful not to attract unwanted attention from the secret police patrolling the airport. However, as soon as those policemen saw them, they communicated through their walkie-talkie and came towards them as if they knew who they were, and we're going to arrest them.Surprised, one of the criminals asked. “What’s going on? The cops are coming towards us!”The other criminal looked toward the cops and said. “Stay calm, maybe they are not after us. We have to remain calm!”More and more
He owed her the promise of a happy life. Knowing that he couldn’t keep his promise to her anymore, given that they had no future together, she wanted to go to Texas and see the tulips by herself, and then from there to the Maldives, just like they had planned before everything had fallen apart. She was going to achieve her dreams, and on the way, forgets about Charles. She wasn't willing to live in regrets for the rest of her life.Once the gang leader noticed that Sarah had figured out a plan, he immediately became kind to her, “Okay, you can go anywhere you want. We’ll handle all the formalities right now. You’d better leave right away and never come back. Charles can never see you again!”Sarah was still numb but answered dazedly, “If I leave, I won’t
"Every time he suspects you of something, you will get hurt deeper and deeper. Is it worth it? We were hired to do a job, and we are going to finish it. I tried to reason with you and to leave Charles willingly. If you think about it, I’m quite helpful to you, right? I'm actually helping you to unveil the real Charles in front of you, you should be grateful to have this chance to escape. Isn't it better for you to just leave now while you still can?”Sarah spits on his face in response. That criminal burst in anger and slapped her face, scorning, “I'm done with you, I have other things to tend to. I'll give you two days to think about what you want to do next. If you still refuse to reason at the end of two days, I will kill you without hesitating. I'm wasting my time trying to talk sense into a silly woman like you!”
Charles looked worried. Sarah clearly heard him sigh genuinely before he said, “I don’t understand why Sarah did this to me. I really don’t know. Am I not good enough for her?”Emma comforted him. “Don’t be a sad brother. That woman is not worthy of you. She doesn't value you or all you have done for her. You went after her, giving in to her demands over and over again, but she continued to lose her temper with you. You see, you should be glad she left you this time!”Charles sat down on the grass near the highway, with hands in his hair in desperation. In a sad tone, he continued. “What did I do wrong for her to hurt our child and leave me? She told me the abortion was a planned attack on her, but it never crossed my mind that she did it a
