A Contract Marriage With My Boss - Chapter 139

The following days were gloomy. Outside, it was rainy, the weather was cold, and winter was approaching. Sarah felt terrible after everything that had happened recently. First, she had suffered a miscarriage, and then shortly after, Mr. Thomas had died, leaving her feeling empty and guilty from the inside.

Charles was worried about Sarah. Since there was no need for them to stay in Los Angeles anymore, he decided to move back to Huston even though he had inherited his father’s company, but Sarah’s health was more valuable to him than anything else.

After everything they had gone through, Charles had learned that once you lose a loved one, the clock can’t be turned back. It’s difficult to heal the wounds after losing a family member. There had been so many misunderstandings between him and Sarah, to a point where they had almost given up on each other. Fortunately, they had managed to save their marriage, and he had learned to love and cherish her. He knew that if he didn’t smarten up toward Sarah, he wouldn’t have another chance.

Because of the miscarriage and Mr. Thomas’s passing, Sarah was in a very depressed mood. Christina was still the same and scolded her at every chance she got. Charles was afraid that Sarah wouldn’t be able to bear it much longer and decided to give up the companies in Los Angeles and go back to Houston.

He hadn’t discussed this with Sarah before making the decision, he just thought that they should go back to Houston. When he got the chance, he told his mother about his decision, who got really angry at this news.

Staring at Charles with fierce eyes, Christina accused him. “Was your father your only relative? What about Emma and me? Are you leaving us right after he left us? Charles, you really don’t love us! Have you ever considered our feelings? We’re still mourning your father’s death, and you want to leave us now too? Why can’t you stay here with us?”

Charles felt annoyed and helpless. Not wanting to argue, he tried to talk to her with a soft tone, “Mom, we’ve been staying with you for over a week after dad’s burial, isn’t that enough? I know you are sad, but why don’t you think about Sarah? She first lost her baby and then watched my father die. She feels sad staying here and is depressed every day when faced with the memories. I don’t think it’s good for her to make her stay here for much longer.”

Christina sneered, “I knew it! That wicked woman convinced you to leave us, right? Why can’t she stay here? We are. But why can’t she? Such selfishness! She never considers our feelings at all and only cares about herself!”

“Mom, how can you say that? Why don’t you like Sarah? What the hell did she do for you to hate her that much!” Charles stood up angrily.

“Charles, let her go. I don’t care what she said!” Sarah said in a cold tone as she slowly walked down the stairs, looking at Mrs. Thomas with a cold defiant expression, as if she was not willing to ever bow down to that woman again.

With an indifferent tone, she continued. “She has always disliked me anyway, so no matter what I do, it will never be good enough, right? Why ask for advice?”

“Sarah, are you crazy? You dare to talk to me, your mother-in-law, like that?” Christina retaliated.

Sarah remained calm, looking at Christina with sharp eyes as if she wanted to rip her heart out! “I have tolerated you this long because you are my mother-in-law, but after all the times you framed me up and created problems between Charles and me, I had lost respect for you a long time ago. You do not deserve my respect!

“Maybe you should ask yourself why I should keep tolerating you and consider your feelings. Until now, I tolerated you because of Mr. Thomas. I’ve always respected and appreciated him, he was a man worthy of respect. He was a family-oriented man and wanted a harmonious family, so I’ve been patient this long for him despite everything you did to me without resisting. But despite everything, I couldn’t save Mr. Thomas’s life. Are you happy now that he died?”

Christina was furious. “What do you mean? Aren’t you the reason why he died? Why are you blaming me now? Don’t you see how ridiculous you are, Sarah?”

Sarah looked at her pitifully as if she were looking at a wretch. “Christina, Mr. Thomas was so sad after my miscarriage, which caused him to have a heart attack. But don’t forget why I had a miscarriage!

“Since we’re at it, tell me why that sneaky man was waving a flag, calling my horse and provoking it to run away that day at the farm?

“Why were there firecrackers on the ground in that exact same spot? Do you think their staff placed it there? How could such a luxurious manor employ such irresponsible staff?

“Christina, can you swear that you have nothing to do with it?”

Charles was listening to Sarah with his eyes wide open in surprise, and then asked,

“Sarah, what are you saying? Did you know about it? What do you mean?”

Christina was also shocked. She suddenly looked at Sarah with a guilty look but was speechless.

Sarah looked at Charles and sneered, “Why don’t you ask your mother?”

Then she turned back to Christina, looking at her with incredible eyes, “Christina, I always knew that you don’t like me, but I thought you only mean to me, and I didn’t expect you to be evil enough to kill your own grandchild. Did you ever consider that it was your own grandchild when you did that?

“Why do you hate me so much that you are willing to kill your own grandchild?

“Did you ever think that you were committing a crime by killing your own family member, and subsequently killing your own husband?

“Christina, you are brutal, unforgivable!

“Are you comfortable now?

“Can you sleep well?”

“Nonsense! You are throwing mud at me now to save yourself.. What makes you say that I did it?” Christina finally shouted, glaring at Sarah with anger.
