Chapter 118: I'm Still Closer To Him Than You

They had already been married for a while now and had done it many times, so why was she so angry?

Charles finished with his tie and turned back to pick up his jacket from the bed when he saw Sarah's bag wide open. He peaked in and saw a delicately packed present inside her purse. He picked it up to look at it more closely, it was Zegna's tie. He couldn't help wondering what it was.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he quickly put the present back into the bag and pretended to still be working on adjusting his suit.

Sarah came back and thought his behavior was a little strange. She glanced at him but didn't see anything unusual. Without further paying attention to him, she continued searching for her key.

Charles became more optimistic, thinking that the gift was apparently for him, but maybe Sarah didn't give it to him yet because of their incident and her being angry last night. Why didn't she give it now as an excuse to make up? There was no big deal after all, and no need to continue the quarrel.

He buttoned his suit jacket, straightened up properly, and said to Sarah, "I'm going out."

Sarah had no idea why he suddenly broke the silence by talking to her. She paused a little and then replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Charles looked at her. Just yes? Wasn't she going to say something? Wasn't she going to give him the tie that was in her bag? Was she collecting ties?

Insinuating, he asked, "Do you want me to bring you something? Recently I haven't bought you any gifts. What do you want?"

He was quite obvious, and courtesy demands reciprocity. Sarah should know it! He intended to give her a gift, so she had to give him a gift in return.

But Sarah still remained calm, "No, there's nothing to buy. You can go to work now!"

Charles felt annoyed. Didn't she notice that he was trying to make peace? Raising his eyebrows, he asked. "That's all?"

Sarah saw him pacing back and forth in front of the door. She was ready to go, so she grabbed her bag and just said. "I am going to the hospital to take care of your dad now!" And walked out without further hesitation.

Charles watched her walking away, indifferently. Once the door was closed behind her, he cursed in frustration, "Fuck!"

He was so irritated that he didn't know what to do. Sarah must have entirely misunderstood him! He picked up his briefcase and went out, also ignoring her. He didn't care about the gift anymore!

Sarah didn't know that her indifferent behavior would make Charles even angrier. She couldn't give up her pride to make concessions, but she always managed to intensify their negative feelings and continue the quarrel.

Carrie had advised her to be gentle to get along with Charles, but she couldn't calm herself down enough to be considerate to him after seeing how affectionate and intimate he was with Emma when out working with her. She couldn't agree with Carrie's advice.

It was Charles who didn't pay attention to his words and actions. It was him who didn't care about her feelings and kept close to Emma no matter what. Why should she back down? Why should she be gentle to him? Why would she hurt herself like that? Why?

Sarah was convinced that nothing good could come from a woman who always gave in first. It just made men more arrogant, and they started to despise them. Sometimes a little temper was appropriate. Charles needed to know that she had her own principles, which was why she was reluctant to give in to Charles repeatedly.

Thinking about what she had seen yesterday and how Charles had indulged Emma's immature behavior, she compared his actions with his serious attitude toward her when working together, and she felt quite wronged by him. Subconsciously, Charles was always very lovely to Emma no matter what she did, he would tolerate her, but he had never been that tolerant with Sarah, even after they had gotten married.

Sarah became extremely agitated and even more reluctant to just let it go this time.

As she was walking lost in her thoughts, a car drove from behind her, honking the horn a few times. Given that they were in a wealthy neighborhood and the roads were narrow, she didn't want to get into trouble and quietly retreated to the small corner, making way for the car to pass.

But the car slowed down. Looking up, Sarah saw Emma sitting in the passenger seat, shouting at her. "Sarah, are you going to the hospital alone? Would you like my brother to drive you there first before going to the office?

Sarah finally realized that it was Charles's car. Emma was smiling sweetly at her. Although she called her by her name and sounded kind, Sarah saw her perky face as if she wanted to say. "Look! I'm going to work with Charles in his car while you are walking alone, even though you are his wife. I'm still closer to him than you."

Sarah was very angry at Emma and her superior expression and decided to ignore them and continue walking on her own. When Charles saw her still walking, he got angrier and shouted to Emma. "Just ignore her. Let her go!" And stepped in the gas pedal, driving away.

Sarah still heard Emma's false concern when she asked Charles why he was so angry at her sister-in-law, noticing a hint of triumph in Emma's undertone.

Sarah couldn't help cursing, "Fuck!" Even the politest woman would start cursing when seeing her husband driving with his mistress arrogantly sitting right beside him. She turned around the opposite corner and walked away in her high-heeled shoes, unwilling to follow the same road they had been driving on.

After this incident in the morning with Emma, Sarah felt depressed all day. She felt sick, just thinking about Emma's happy and smiling face. She didn't talk much after arriving at the hospital, and Mr.. Thomas was reading a book, so she just peeled him an apple beside him without interrupting him.
