A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Daniel saw that she was still hesitating and remained silent. He placed his hand on her shoulder and held her tightly as if he wanted to give her power, then he finally said. "Whatever you choose, I will always support you from behind. If you are tired or wronged, don't forget me. I am here for you."

When he said it, his voice became a little softer and hesitant, as if he was afraid to frighten her. After a short pause, Daniel added with caution, "I welcome you here anytime. I can be your final haven!"

His words sounded like a promise. In fact, it was a promise from a man to a woman. Sarah was shocked and looked blankly and with a trace of bewilderment up to Daniel as if she couldn't understand him. Daniel looked straight at her to give her strength. They looked at each other with apparent emotions. Sarah was in a panic. She didn't know whether she should respond to Daniel's words or not. She didn't know whether she would fall into a ruined abbey or go to Grand Avenue if she returned to him.

But before she could think what to do, she heard a cold voice come from behind, "Mr. Frank, my wife and I aren't divorced yet. Don't you think you said that too early?"

Sarah was shocked. She couldn't help turning around and saw Charles coming with a bag of food in his hand, Emma standing next to him. They were looking at her and Daniel silently. It was apparent they had come back from shopping. Sarah had assumed that Charles and Emma had gone back to work, not expecting that her conversation with Daniel would be heard by them.

Charles suddenly stepped up and pulled Sarah into his arms. Then, with one hand around her shoulder, he warned Daniel in a cold tone as if he was swearing on his possession, "Mr. Frank is an intelligent man. How can you do something like this? What's more, she is married!"

Emma also jumped in and said, "Brother, they're so funny. They always framed us up, but they are secretly the same!"

Sarah really wanted to laugh, but now she couldn't even smile. She didn't know what she could possibly say. Charles always believed what he saw. Any explanation was pointless if he misunderstood them, and Emma always spoke ill of her. They had just gone shopping together, giving Emma plenty of time to speak ill of her.

Daniel just looked at them for a while, and finally sneered at Charles, then said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Thomas, don't you think you are funny now? Indeed, Sarah is your wife, but have you ever given her happiness? On the contrary, you have been betraying her and hurting her! Why can't Sarah seek her own happiness while you're playing outside?"

"Seeking her own happiness?" Charles repeated these words and couldn't help laughing, "Can you be her happiness? Or are you the only one feeling this passionate? Does Sarah love you? If she loved you, why would she marry me rather than you?"

Daniel seemed stimulated and replied sharply. "Charles, you're just one step ahead of me, but if you can't give her happiness, she'll leave you as well!"

Charles burst into proud laughter, then responded to Daniel, "Ask her now, is she willing to leave me and go with you?" He lowered his head to look at Sarah again, "Will you leave me for him, Sarah?" Sarah couldn't help laughing at Charles's confidence. Was Charles so sure that she loved him? He should have seen that clearly when she was his secretary at the beginning. He had flirted with her just because she liked him, and now they were married. He did worry about anything because he had confirmed that she loved him so much that he even felt confident to play with Emma at her expense, disregarding her feelings. He knew she loved him and couldn't leave him, which he took as a pass to do everything he wanted.

Sarah's heart suddenly turned cold as ice. Seeing those two men argue with each other, she just wanted to leave. She pulled Charles's hand away from her. Lowering her head, she smiled bitterly as she went without saying a word.

Daniel called after her, "Sarah!"

Charles also called her coldly, "Sarah!" He apparently wasn't happy to see her leaving him without hesitating.

Sarah stopped walking, and without looking back, she said coldly, "I only belong to myself. No one can control me. Charles, do you think you can control me just because I love you? You have really let me down!"

Sarah sounded so severe as if she was accusing Charles, who looked at her in shock. It had never occurred to him that Sarah thought of him as a bad person. Confused, he asked in a cold voice, "Sarah, is this what you think about me?"

Given that his tone was still fierce, Sarah felt that he didn't consider her feeling at all. Staring at him, she felt so disappointed. Having nothing to add, she turned around and left.

Charles followed her and snatched her hand. "You want to leave? We should make things clear now! Haven't you ever felt my love over the past half year? Why are you considering me the bad person who always bullies you?"

"Do you love me?" Sarah questioned him directly, staring at him.

Charles grunted at her, questioning him. "Well, my mom was right, after all. You are a very selfish person. Once someone treats you bad, you'll remember it forever, but you never remember it when people are kind to you, so even though I treat with sincerely, you still can't feel anything!"

Mom, mom, mom! Charles was bringing his mother into it again. Didn't he know how angry she was right now? He always trusted others but doubted her, his wife, didn't he? She used to believe that he was mature, but she had been so wrong! Charles was indeed a very childish man!
