Chapter 117: Don't You Miss Me?

Sarah was standing on the second floor in the mall and witnessed the whole episode. Standing there and looking at them from a distance, she remembered that when she had been Charles's secretary, they had gone out on similar business trips. She had often secretly bought gifts for her sister when they were in the mall. But when they came back to the office and Charles saw it, he would scold her for doing personal business while working. His attitude had been entirely different from today with Emma.

Once again, Sarah came to the conclusion that Charles always indulged Emma and believed in Emma, punishing Sarah for the tiniest mistake, even if it were made by Emma, he'd think that it was her fault. Why was he making this difference? He was married to her, after all.

Sarah started to feel bad. The clerk from the store she was in came to her telling her that he had finished packing up the tie she had picked. "Miss, your tie is packed and ready. You can check out at the counter!"

Sarah looked at the box and wanted to refuse it. Emma had bought the same tie for Charles that she had picked. Why should she buy another one? But looking at the salesman's eager face and the readily wrapped tie, and was too shy to refuse it now and just went to pay for it.

What should she do with the tie after buying it? She didn't want to give it to Charles anymore, so she placed it into her bag to hide it. Once she came home, she forgot that it was in her purse. When Charles came home that evening, he was smiling at her like always.

Sarah helped him to take off his jacket and asked. "Why are you so happy today?"

"Because today we closed a big project." He told her proudly.

Sarah was about to take off his tie but suddenly stopped. She stared at his tie for a long time, the scene at the mall whirling in her mind.

Charles noticed her movements and asked with a slight laugh. "Don't you think this color of tie matches the suit? Emma bought it today. This girl really knows my taste. Today, in the middle of discussing the project at the mall, she suddenly ran into the store and bought me a tie. I didn't like it at first, but when I saw the color, I gave in.

"Thanks to Emma, I got a great boost of confidence when seeing how good it fits me, helping me in negotiating the project details, which went very smoothly. I didn't expect her to be so good at her job, given that she just graduated, I guess I underestimated her. She has a gift in business…."

Charles kept praising Emma without noticing Sarah's reaction. Sarah kept silent as she carefully hung up his suit and tie for him. She felt that his performance over the last few days was subtly influenced by Emma so that when he returned home, he always talked about her. He mentioned Emma every time he spoke about any work-related issues, always ignoring Sarah's feelings. Sarah felt depressed and uncomfortable, not wanting to talk at all, when she remembered Emma's behavior at the mall.

As Sarah took a bath towel and gave it to Charles to take a shower, he suddenly pulled her into the bathroom and pressed her on the wall, teasing her. "Do you know why I came home so early today?"

"Why?" Sarah asked in a light voice.

Charles smiled ambiguously and pinched her chin. "Don't you miss me?"

"Huh?" Sarah was still confused and startled by his fast reaction. Charles lowered his head and kissed her slowly before he said, "No matter how busy I am, I will never forget my wife and my duty toward our baby! My wife, let's start work on it tonight!" He kissed her again, his hands moving on her body.

Sarah knew his intention, but she wasn't in the mood and kept pushing him away. "No, I'm tired tonight. So, NO!"

Charles thought she was just being shy and laughed again in a low voice. "I know you like it!" Then he kissed her more passionately, putting his hands behind her shirt to touch her body. Sarah felt both itchy and angry but couldn't refuse him. She knew that even if she weren't in the mood, he'd force her. Thinking about it, she suddenly got angrier and pushed him aside, shouting. "Are you a beast? Didn't you hear that I'm not feeling well tonight?"

Both were stunned by her sudden outburst of anger. Sarah didn't expect herself to be so angry, and Charles was surprised because Sarah had never acted this harshly and refused him, but now she pushed him away with anger. He failed to understand her.

Sarah looked at him with anger and turned away. To her own surprise, she felt more comfortable after shouting out her feelings.

Charles thought she was losing her temper when she yelled at him and responded angrily, "Fuck!"

They ignored each other for the rest of the night and went to sleep without talking.

After waking up the next morning, they continued ignoring each other's presence and got dressed silently, both not wanting to be the first to break the silence.

Sarah washed her face and then applied her daily make-up in front of the mirror. She saw Charles standing behind her at the bedside, using her mirror to tie his tie. He wasn't used to doing it himself and struggled to adjust it properly. Sarah had no intention to help him, and he was too stubborn to ask and did it himself.

Sarah discreetly glanced at him but kept ignoring him. Once she was done, she turned around to grab her bag and leave for the hospital but remembered that she had forgotten her key and walked back into the living room to get it.

Charles saw her walking past him without saying a word. He hummed angrily, venting his discontent.. He really didn't understand why Sarah was so angry and hadn't spoken to him all night. Why was she so upset? Was it because he had tried to force her last night and that she couldn't stand it?
