A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Chapter 79: YOU SHOULD TRY TO FORGIVE HIM

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 NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

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.

After walking for a while, Sarah stopped in front of a fountain, staring at the water. The night was

covering the streets with a mysterious dark veil. The streetlights were on, resampling the stars in the

sky. It was such a beautiful and quiet night, yet Sarah felt so sad. Staring at the beauty around, she

sighed.

They had only been married for less than a month, and we're already fighting with each other. Was

their lover as deep and romantic as she used to believe? If they didn't trust each other, they were

missing the essential ingredient required for a married couple.

Charles, how could I believe in your love, yet you treated me like this? Sarah sighed. Why was her life

full of an unexpected event? First, her parents had died while she was still very young, then her

studies, her love, and now even her marriage wasn't going well? Was she doomed to be unlucky?

Sarah thought it was useless for her to complain since no one would feel sorry for her. She shook her

hand as if she was mocking herself. When she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone

calling her name. “Sarah… Sarah, are you there?”

Sarah turned around and saw Mr. Thomas approaching her. She hadn’t expected her father-in-law to

follow her. Feeling profound respect toward him, she asked. “Dad, why did you come here? Do you

want to say something?”

"I saw how unhappy you were and thought that you and Charles had a serious disagreement. I came

here to talk to you, maybe I can help you?”

Sarah felt humiliated for making him worry about her and lowered her head. “Dad, don’t worry about us,

it’s nothing serious.”

“Really? I just saw Charles, and he doesn't look too good, either. What’s going on between you two?”

Sarah hesitated for a while but realized that she couldn’t hide from her father-in-law, she tried to

minimize the truth. “It’s really nothing. We just quarreled about trivial things. We'll figure it out and be

fine soon. No need to worry, dad!”

“Sarah, tell me what’s going on. It’s bad for you to keep everything inside you. If you tell me, I can help

you analyze the problem. After all, I’m older than you and more experienced. I also know Charles's

character.”

Sarah felt embarrassed, to tell the truth, but after Mr. Thomas's insistence, she finally told him what had

happened, leaving out the issue with Emma because she was afraid to disappoint him in his daughter

or cause further agitation. After listening to Sarah's story, Mr. Thomas wasn't angry but figured that their

problem was that they just didn’t trust each other.

Laughing kindly and patting her shoulder, he said. “Oh, I see. You shouldn't worry, you two care too

much about each other and get jealous. I think you two should talk about your feelings.”

“Dad…” Sarah wanted to say something - that things weren't so simple - but didn’t want to get deeper

into the problem with Mr. Thomas.

He smiled gently and said. “You remember when I told you that a marriage needs both partners to be

tolerant of each other? If you two stop talking because of these trivial things like this, you will not have

a happy life. No one is perfect. If his mistake isn't a matter of principle, you should try to forgive!”
