A Contract Marriage With My Boss

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 inside, but he still controlled himself from the outside.

"I'm all right!" He said indifferently.

Daniel patted his shoulder again and sighed, "Why don't you tell your mother your plan? You turned her in because you are worried about her. After all, if she is stopped on time, she will serve less time in jail and will be able to resume her normal life soon again.

"Without your intervention, she would sink deeper and deeper, and once the day comes where she is investigated, she may face a life sentence rather than just a few years. What you did is in her best interest, so why are you so indifferent to her now and let her think that you are against her? You can explain it to her!"

Charles shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. "There is no need for it. She's my mom, I know her well. She is out of control now, so even if I told her that I did it for her own good, she'd call me a liar. Let her go! If she needs to vent her anger by hating me, then so be it. Gradually, she will start to understand. Based on her personality, telling her the truth doesn't help, she has to realize it herself eventually. There's no use in explaining anything to her right now. Time will prove everything."

"You have the same character and are easily misunderstood, like Sarah... "

Hearing Sarah's name, Charles's eyes immediately became dim. Both remained silent for a while.

"Thank you for your help at this time. Without our help, my mom would not have believed me so easily, and I wouldn't have found where Sarah was being kept hostage."

"Don't mention it. Sarah is just like a younger sister to me, I took care of her since we were children. But it seems you made a big mistake this time, and she left you silently for good this time." Charles became even sadder, lowering his head in silence.

"Your mom has been arrested now. What are you going to do now? And your sister Emma... What's gonna happen to her?"

"I'll send her far away. Emma is still young and easy to be confused. She listened to my mom's every word and followed her on the wrong path. I intend to send her abroad to get more practical experiences in life. Eventually, as she matures, she will understand why.

Daniel nodded and finally sighed, "Well, it seems like you have it all figured out. I thought Sarah would be safe if our plan succeeded, but I didn't expect Sarah to leave quietly!"

"I know. I don't know if she can forgive me. But even if she did, I don't know where she is now. How can I ask her to forgive me when I don't know where she is?" Charles turned toward the wall and punched it again in frustration.

Daniel stared at him for a long time, as if he was trying to figure out what to do. After a while, he looked up in determination and said, "I'm relieved to see you like this. Charles, I didn't want to tell you, but realizing how deeply you love Sarah... more than I ever could... there's no need to hide it from you any longer. Actually... I know where Sarah is!" Content

Charles turned around and looked at him as if he had misheard him. "What did you just say? Excuse me?"

Daniel sighed, "I know where Sarah went after the police captured the kidnappers She called her sister and told her that she wanted to leave because her marriage had failed She made her sister promise not to let anyone know about her whereabouts, especially you. Her sister called me, but I chose to be

no

silent for Sarah.

"I hope she finds a new life and is happy. But I see how much you love Sarah and did so much for her that I feel you are the best thing that could happen to her. It would be a pity for her to miss out on your love based on a misunderstanding, that's why I tell you the truth now."

Charles grabbed Daniel's shirt. "What are you talking about? I don't want to hear this! You said you know where Sarah is. Can you tell me where she is? Tell me now!"

Startled, Daniel laughed and shook his head. "Don't pull at my shirt. We're not fighting. At this rate, the police will come for us. I'll tell you... Sarah is at the international airport, waiting for her flight to Texas. She leaves at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me see..."

He raised an arm to check the time on his watch. He lifted his eyes in surprise and exclaimed. "Oh my god, NO! I forgot the time while we were chatting. It's 1:05. I don't know if you can reach her before her flight leaves.

"Hurry up!

"Quickly! Or you won't reach her!"

"Why didn't you say that earlier? I really want to hit you right now. Daniel, you really outdid yourself today!" Charles pushed him aside as he took his jacket and rushed out.

Daniel shouted behind him. "Charles,

you must catch her! You must make her happy!" Watching Charles run to

catch up with Sarah, Daniel felt a

little upset. After all, he just gave away his best chance to ever be with her. But thinking that Sarah chance to be happy, he felt satisfied and smiled. All that mattered was

that Sarah was happy, even if that meant with another man. Content

Charles runs several red lights as he sped toward the airport. His only thought was Sarah, and how he needed to get there on time before he missed his final chance to get her back.
