Chapter 103: SHE CANNOT LOSE
"You still take his side!" Hearing her words, Carrie pointed at her and continued.
"You are so naïve, Sarah! You shouldn't always indulge him. This is not a small thing; it is a matter of principle. If you continue indulging him, he will make more and bigger mistakes in the future. And at that time, it will be too late to regret it!"
"Then what should I do?" Sarah was confused, feeling like a headless fly. She didn't know except for asking Carrie for help.
Carrie thought for a moment before she responded, "You said that his sister came back and came straight here, right? Why didn't she go to her parent's home first? Her purpose is obvious! You must be wary!"
"What should I do?"
"She dared to call Charles and blatantly framed you before, so your mother-in-law must secretly have her back, or else she wouldn't be so blunt. She has support while you don't. You need to ensure that Charles's heart belongs to you! If Charles loves you deeply, no one can break up your marriage. This is essential, much stronger than any support from others could possibly be."
"But how can I take hold of his heart?"
"That really depends on you. It is not easy to be a good wife now. You are too serious and don't know how to get into Charles's favor, so how can you win against Emma? From now on, you must try to please him. Men are easily tired of indifferent women, the most important thing is that you act like everything is fine and can't keep a poker face. Otherwise, you'll be pushing him away!"
Sarah nodded her head and clenched her fist. Although she was unwilling to cater to a man, she was even more reluctant to lose to Emma. This time, she must swallow her pride and take the bullet, all to entrance Charles toward her.
"As for Emma, you must watch out for her. Since my husband treats me well, I have no experience in dealing with this, so it really depends on you. I think you should pretend and tolerate her in front of Charles. He will really appreciate you for being understanding. While in front of Emma, you can't be softhearted.
"I know it sounds complex, but it's your only way. Besides, remember to be pleasant, understand? I believe you are smart enough to do this. I'll ask around to find more information, and once I know something useful, I'll tell you. If you encounter any new problems, tell me in time. I will always be your solid supporter."
Hearing Carries words of encouragement and support, Sarah was moved. No matter what she encountered, at least there was one person who was like her elder sister, who was on her side. Thus, she nodded her head, "Ok. Thank you, Carrie. I know what to do now, I will try my best."
Carrie had to go since it was almost time for dinner, so they took Lucas to a nearby restaurant for something to eat.
When Sarah was about to go home, she remembered that Charles hadn't called her back, not even texted her, which was strange since Charles usually wouldn't be so indifferent to her.
She called him again, but this time his phone was off. Sarah started to feel a little anxious as she grabbed her cellphone, biting her lower lip tightly. Today Emma had come back, was he with Emma and completely ignoring her?
Although Sarah knew it was not right to think in this way and that she should trust Charles, she couldn't help but be suspicious. She ran home to see if they were at home.
Reaching her some, she saw that the light was on, indicating someone was at home. Sarah opened the door and was stunned by the scene inside.
Charles and Emma were in the kitchen, cooking. There was a pile of groceries on the table, which they must have bought together to cook dinner together. Both were happily working with smiles on their faces. Although they acted normal, Sarah was so jealous at this scene. They looked like a happy and intimate couple, cooking dinner together. What's more, Charles had never cooked with her, but today, he was cooking with Emma...
Emma picked up some vegetables when she noticed Sarah at the door and greeted her happily. "Sarah, you are back! Ah, I didn't expect that you would come back so early!"
Charles turned around to look at Sarah and said in surprise, "Dear, you are back early today. It seems that Emma and my plan is ruined. We were going to cook a delicious meal to surprise you." "Why didn't you answer my phone or my message?" Sarah asked with an indifferent tone. She was surprised at her own sound, she didn't realize that she was so jealous and angry.
Charles was visibly astonished by her tone, and asked, "Ah? What message? My phone has been with my secretary all day. It died during the meeting, it's charging now... as for the rest, Emma came back today and told me she had learned how to cook Chinese food from her classmates, whose father opened a Chinese restaurant. She happened to hear that you like eating fish, so she suggested cooking some fish to surprise you."
Sarah thought that Emma was really good at acting naïve and innocent in front of Charles, showing her best side to him as soon as she came back by pretending to be kind in front of Charles. But behind his back, she called him to hurt her! Now that she had come back, how could she smile so happily in front of Sarah and pretend that nothing had happened? Charles also didn't mention anything as if both had lost their memory.
Sarah was the only one who still remembered what had happened!
Sarah was very angry, jealous, and unwilling to play along, but what could she do? She remembered Carrie's words to be tolerant in front of Charles and not be too cold-shouldered. She couldn't maintain her indifferent tone. Compared with Emma, she really did lack tricks.
But this time, she cannot lose!
