A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Chapter 26: I LOVE YOU

Emma walked over to him and said, gently, "Brother, she is gone."

"Let her go!" Charles replied

"Don't you love her?" Emma asked lightly. She wasn't sure how she wanted him to respond.

Charles kept silent for a long time and sighed deeply. Then, he looked at Emma helplessly and said, "I

don't know, Emma. So, I can't promise her anything."

Emma felt conflicted by her emotions. She lowered her head, walked up behind him, and slowly

hugged him, "Charles, you will always be my beloved brother whatever you choose." There were

always obstacles within relationships. If Charles's father didn't adopt her at a young age, she wouldn't

have become his sister. If she wasn't her sister, she could have been with him. However, if she wasn't

adopted, then she would never have met Charles.

Emma didn't know why, but she always felt that Charles was pushing her away. She sobbed, "Charles,

do you still love me?" Although she knew they couldn't be together, she still couldn't help but ask him.

Charles closed his eyes and remained silent. Then, he turned around and hugged Emma. He didn't

speak, just held her tightly.

Emma thought that this must be Charles' way of saying that he didn't love Sarah at all. She felt

reassured, then gradually smiled. Charles, however, knew that his heart was torn in two. One half

belonged to Sarah, and the other half belonged to Emma.

When Sarah left Charles's home, the plane had already taken off, so she purchased the next flight that

was on sale at the airport. She didn't know where she wanted to go, and she just knew that she had to

get far away from where she was. Rather unexpectedly, the plane was to Seattle. Sarah spent her

week enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food. It seemed that over the course of her vacation,

her sorrow had been drained from her. She kept her phone switched off for the entire duration of her

trip. Sometimes, she would let her sister know that she was safe by calling her on a public telephone.

As for everyone else, no one really bothered her. She was happy to just enjoy her own company for a

while.

Sarah was surprised at how relaxing a solo trip could be. Over the years, she had worked so hard for

her sister's tuition. She felt like she had never truly enjoyed life until she came to Seattle, she had no

idea how much she had missed out on! Life was beautiful but she had just never noticed it. She had

always lived her life for others and was coerced by people who didn't respect her. From now on, she Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

would be kind to herself and enjoy her own life.

However, as beautiful as the days were, Sarah felt sad and lonely as soon as night fell. She would sit

on her bed in the hotel at night, unable to fall asleep. She still missed Charles. He wasn't someone who

could be forgotten in a short amount of time. After all, she loved him more deeply than she had ever

loved anyone else.

Sarah lay down and forced herself to close her eyes and forget him. Then, she had a dream. She

dreamed that she quarreled with Charles, but in this dream, Charles hugged her tightly and said to her,

"Sarah, don't leave me, I love you!"

Sarah didn't trust him and pushed him away, but Charles yelled, "How can you trust me? Can you trust

me in death? Okay, I can show you!" Finishing his words, he turned around and jumped into a river.

She screamed, "Charles, Charles!"

Sarah suddenly woke up in a panicked sweat to the sound of the phone at her bedside, ringing. Who

could possibly be calling her at midnight? Sarah had to answer it, "Hello."

The sound of a woman crying was all that Sarah could hear. After a long time, Sarah could make out

the sound of Emma's voice. "Is that Sarah? My brother, he's been in a car accident. He was seriously

injured and there was blood all over his body. Now I'm not sure whether he will even make it!" Then she

cried more severely than before and said, "He's been calling your name. Please come back and meet

him!"
