A Contract Marriage With My Boss

"Mr. Thomas, I..." Sarah didn't know how to answer. She had only just made up her mind that she wouldn't be with Charles any longer. However, to her surprise, Mr. Thomas was now trying to persuade her to accept Charles. Sarah could feel her head spinning as she tried to make sense of it all.

Mr. Thomas smiled and said, "Sarah, don't you love my son?"

Sarah didn't know what to say, so she looked down, embarrassed. She didn't know how to express her love for Charles in front of his father.

"Sarah, I can assure you that my son loves you. I can protect you from any upset that may come of your relationship. Now it's all up to you. You've seen Charles up there in the hospital. Surely you can tell how much he loves you?"

Emma had said that Charles loved her, and now Mr. Thomas had told her that Charles had even admitted it to him. Sarah thought for a moment and asked herself, what could she now possibly be worried about? Was it because she no longer loved him? She felt that things were actually starting to work out for her. Before, there had been so many obstacles that let her think she and Charles were impossible. However, suddenly an unexpected turn had made everything better for them. Sarah was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of happiness and struggled to determine whether what was happening was actually real or not.

After a long time, Mr. Thomas couldn't wait for Sarah's answer any longer and said, "Don't you love Charles? Alas, if the answer is yes, we need to tell him immediately!"

Hearing his words, Sarah looked at him and hurriedly said, "Mr. Thomas, no, I..." She dared not say she loved him so easily, or it would be just another thoughtless collection of words. Love was sacred, so how could it be so easy to express? Thus, she answered, "I care about him. Everything seems to change, so suddenly I find it difficult to place my emotions accurately."

Listening to her words, Mr. Thomas smiled again, "So, you are willing to be with my son?"

Sarah's face turned red as she nodded, "If Charles really cares about me, and you don't have a problem with my status, then I am happy to be with him. After all, I care for him deeply."

Mr. Thomas laughed heartily, "Your words have put me at ease. I believe in your character and willingness to make Charles happy, so I'm very happy to know that you shall be my daughter-in-law. Then, you and Charles can get married early. He is 31 years old now, not so young anymore. It's time for him to get married and have his own family. I hope to see that."

Sarah looked at him suddenly, a little embarrassed, "Mr. Thomas, is it not too early to decide when to marry? What's more, you've only just told me all of this, and Charles still doesn't know, not to mention Mrs. Thomas and Emma. They probably were not happy with it, were they?

Mr. Thomas laughed happily and said, "As long as you keep your promise, everything will be all right. My wife will always listen to me at home. Sarah, you can go back to the ward and take care of Charles. Leave the rest to me."

Mr. Thomas then stood up and invited her to Charles's ward. Sarah nodded and then followed him. She felt that there was something a little strange about Mr. Thomas. Would it be thoughtless to decide their marriage now? He wanted them to get married now as if he had no more time. Was it because he was very busy? Whatever it was, things had finally started to change for the good, so why not be happy? Sarah smiled to herself and was still smiling when she arrived at Charles's ward. Mrs. Thomas and Emma were also there. Mrs. Thomas looked at them, angrily, "Where did you two go?" She focused her glare on Sarah and frowned disapprovingly.

Mr. Thomas responded happily, "Come outside with me, and I have something to tell you. Emma joined us as well."

Emma was confused and cast a look over at her equally confused mother. However, they obeyed Mr. Thomas's instruction and went to leave.

It was not until they were all gone that Sarah looked up and then turned to look at Charles's ward. After taking a deep breath and hesitating for a while, she pushed the door and went in.
