Chapter 16: HIS FAMILY

At that moment, Sarah didn't know how she felt about what had happened and just stared at Charles. Keeping silent, she felt her heart continue to sink.

After Charles hung up the phone, he looked at Sarah and knew what she was thinking about. He hesitated for a while, "My sister Emma, she is back."

Sarah responded quietly after a long pause, "I see."

"She is at the airport now, ready to see me. She didn't go back home, so I had to pick her up."

Sarah nodded again, "Go on, then." Her voice sounded calm, but Charles surely knew that something was wrong. Tonight, she had learned about his past and, on the same night, discovered that he clearly still can't forget about his sister. She had now returned, without warning and Sarah had no idea whether Charles still loved her or not.

Charles didn't know what to say, and maybe he hadn't expected any of that. After hesitating for a long time, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Things between her and me are over, so don't worry.

"I'm not worrying about anything!" Sarah raised her head and looked at him, "You go, don't be late."

Charles hesitated, when he looked into her eyes, he thought she really was okay, so he left. At first, he just walked at his normal pace, but soon he broke into a hurried walk toward the car, then drove away, leaving Sarah to think about what had happened.

There were few people on the streets at night. The night felt as cold as ice. Sarah was freezing, and she didn't know why she felt so uneasy. Charles hadn't actually done anything, but now that his sister Emma had come back, she felt a lot more insecure. She wasn't sure whether Charles would upset her or not.

When Sarah came back home, she felt very tired, so she went straight to bed without washing. She recalled Charles's words, and she still remembered his soft tone when he described Emma. It seemed that he relished thinking about these cherished memories. In fact, he may still love his sister even now.

Sarah tossed and restlessly turned as she processed the thoughts in her head until she decided that she was unwilling to go on thinking.

The next day, Charles was late. However, as he was president of the company, no one could question him. Sarah, however, was worrying. She didn't know what had happened between him and his sister. Charles didn't arrive until after ten o'clock. When Sarah saw Charles walking to her from far away, she stood up in haste and greeted him formally.

Charles looked at her for a little while, "Come to my office."

Sarah followed him obediently, and she didn't know whether she should ask him what happened last night. She also thought she shouldn't ask more because he had assured her that Emma was just his sister. Therefore, she remained silent.

Sarah kept her head lowered. Then, unexpectedly, Charles turned around and hugged her after he closed the door. Sarah felt surprised, "Charles."

"I'm sorry to leave you worried," Charles murmured, "Last night, I took her back to the apartment, and that was it. I only want to be with you, even if she was my girlfriend. Please trust me!"

Sarah didn't know what to say while held in his embrace.

Charles lifted his head and gazed deep into her eyes, "Do you trust me? Would you like to be with me?"

"I…" Sarah hesitated for a while, then changed the topic, "What will your sister do now that she's back?"

"Just handle some procedures, she needs to go abroad in about a week."

"Okay." Sarah lowered her head and asked, "What about her? Don't you care about her?"

Charles smiled, "She is not a child. We are having lunch this afternoon. You should come with me. She told me she wanted to see her future sister-in-law."

"See me?" Sarah pointed at herself, a little surprised.

"Yes, don't you want to go?"

"No." She thought it was too abrupt. She didn't know what would happen when she met Emma. However, she was very curious about her, so she nodded, "All right."

Charles laughed and hugged her again, "You're so kind. Okay, let's have lunch this afternoon."

After work, Sarah waited for Charles. They drove the car out of the company building together. Sarah still felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask, "Did all your ex-girlfriends go to see your sister?"

Charles was driving, he turned his head around and looked at her, then continued to look ahead and smiled, "Why do you look nervous? I told my sister that you are my destiny, so she was curious to meet you."

"Destiny?" Sarah pointed at herself. She felt satisfied when she saw his smile, and it was one of the most reassuring things that he did. His destiny, For her, it means a great deal. Did he really think that, or was he just trying to comfort her?

She said nothing the whole way to lunch. To Sarah's surprise, Emma was waiting for them when they arrived at the restaurant. Sarah followed Charles inside.. When she noticed them, Emma stood up, and Sarah finally saw her.
