A Contract Marriage With My Boss - Chapter 143

Charles looked worried. Sarah clearly heard him sigh genuinely before he said, “I don’t understand why Sarah did this to me. I really don’t know. Am I not good enough for her?”

Emma comforted him. “Don’t be a sad brother. That woman is not worthy of you. She doesn’t value you or all you have done for her. You went after her, giving in to her demands over and over again, but she continued to lose her temper with you. You see, you should be glad she left you this time!”

Charles sat down on the grass near the highway, with hands in his hair in desperation. In a sad tone, he continued. “What did I do wrong for her to hurt our child and leave me? She told me the abortion was a planned attack on her, but it never crossed my mind that she did it all herself. It was she who killed my baby. That day at the ranch, I felt it strange that she wanted to ride a horse while she was pregnant and insisted that I leave her alone.

“She kept urging me to answer my phone, and then she had the accident. I used to think it was my fault for leaving her alone, never expecting that she was orchestrating the whole episode. She didn’t want our child and had to come up with extreme ideas to first get rid of her baby, and then leave me… Did she really do that?”

Emma put her hand on his shoulder and said, “Brother, she didn’t love you at all. She always loved Daniel. Throughout this whole time, you didn’t see that? If mom and I hadn’t worked so hard trying to save you, she would still be deceiving you now. You always take her for the innocent one.

“Just look at how far she went when she hired someone to hurt you then pretended to be kidnapped. You keep thinking that something happened to her. But she was just tired of you and wanted to leave you. Do you know how much money she took from mom? One million! This means that she was only with you for your money. Come on, Charles, wake up and smell the roses, you should never feel sad because of her ever again!”

Charles shook his head repeatedly as he answered in a gradually weakening tone. “I just can’t believe it… I can’t believe it… the fact… Why did Sarah leave me like this? Why…? I apologized to her and promised I would be nice to her forever, but she still refused to give me another chance.”

Emma became angry, seeing Charles like this. She shook his shoulder with both hands and said, “Charles, come on! She took your money and left you after killing your child. She doesn’t want to do anything with you anymore, and she won’t come back. You shouldn’t mourn her anymore, because she’s not worthy of you! Sober up, brother!”

Charles still seemed to be depressed and sad. When Emma blamed him and cried while shaking him as if she was hurt to see him like this, he seemed to realize that Emma really loved him. He pulled her closer and held her tightly in his arms.

“Emma… Emma… I’m sorry. I know you’re worried about me, I’m really sorry. Sarah left, you are all I have now… you are all I have now… ” He held Emma tightly like a drowning man desperately holding onto driftwood to save his life.

Sarah was stunned and sad, not knowing what to do after what she had just seen and heard. Had Charles completely lost all trust in her? He believed that she had killed her own baby… their baby, and hired someone to hurt him as well as taking money from his mother?

Did he really see her as such a selfish, loveless woman and cheater? Had Charles ever trusted her when he repeatedly promised that he would stay on her side, trust her and protect her? Despite everything, he still chooses to suspect her the moment something happened?

Charles had always preferred to trust Christina and Emma before her! Sarah had forgiven him several times, but she couldn’t tolerate this forever. Was it worth it for her to keep fighting for their marriage?

Thinking about everything she had gone through for him, Sarah started to cry.

Finally, Charles and Emma left, and she was taken back to the abandoned warehouse. Seeing Sarah’s decadent appearance, her captors felt accomplished. The leader came up to her, with his knife turning in his hand, and said.

“Have you seen enough? The man doesn’t trust you at all. What now? Even if he loved you, he keeps hurting you. He will always believe his mother over you, so is he worth fighting for? Do you think you could ever be happy with him? Silly woman!”

Sarah stared blankly into the distance, not revealing to anyone what she was thinking. She looked like the sadness inside her heart had overtaken her entirely.

“I’ll give you one last chance. There are two ways this can play out for you. If you want the money and leave, we will immediately transfer one million to you and finalize your travel to whatever place you choose to go to. Look, this is a good option for you, much better than to continue to fight your destiny. If you choose the other option and die now, Charles will not remember you. How pathetic for you, really! Is it worth dying for such a man?”

Sarah finally looked up with cold eyes. She disdained his persuasion. In a bitter tone, she responded. “You still think I’ll listen to you?”

Hearing that she still was resisting, the man sneered angrily at her. Stepping closer to her, he pinched her chin. “You refuse to reason until you’re faced with the grim reality. Can you really be so stupid? Even if Charles loved you, he doesn’t trust you.. If he suspected you the first time, he would doubt you again.
