A Contract Marriage With My Boss
Chapter 109: THIS IS MY FAREWELL GIFT

When Emma was about to pass the security check, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at Charles. "Brother, I'm leaving. Did you get me a farewell gift as well?" "What?" Charles was confused, but Emma jumped toward him and hugged and kissed him. Smiling innocently, she said. "This is my farewell gift!"

Sarah didn't expect that Emma would be so frank, especially in front of her. She was becoming more aggressive and arrogant by the minute. Sarah whispered a silent curse.

Charles was utterly taken by surprise by Emma and quickly pushed her away, looking at Sarah. He was afraid Sarah would be angry and said to Emma in a pretend angry tone. "You're an adult, how can you still behave like this, especially in front of Sarah?"

Instead of retracting herself, Emma just replied shamelessly, "It's just a goodbye kiss, I'm sure my sister-in-law won't care!" She smiled at Sarah and continued, "Sarah, am I right? You don't mind, do you? Or, you are really that stingy!"

Sarah sneered. She disliked Emma so much but couldn't do anything except calm herself down, telling herself that there was no point in arguing with a bitch!

Emma left, waving at them and smiling proudly as she stood in the line for the security check.

After Emma left, Charles and Sarah also left to go home. At first, Charles walked behind Sarah, but he hurried to catch up with her and hold her hand. He tried to look for an excuse for Emma and said. "She just acted like a little girl. You know her, she doesn't have any other intentions, don't be angry."

Sarah looked at Charles, but he failed to recognize what she was thinking from her expression and tried to think of a way to comfort her when Sarah suddenly reached for his hand and smiled, "I'm not angry. There's no need to be angry. I'm your wife, and you only love me, don't you? I don't care whether Emma has any other intentions. I just care about your intentions!"

Charles quickly promised, "I swear I only love you, my dear, no one but you!"

"I know, let's go home! Tonight, I'll make a five-course meal to celebrate!" "Celebrate what?" Charles was confused, but Sarah just smiled at him.

"Celebrate and reward that you only love me! And you can only love me in the future!"

Emma had arrived in Los Angeles. After talking with her parents for a while, she went back to her room because she wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone. She threw her luggage on the ground as soon as she closed the door and went straight to the bathroom.

Staring at her face in the mirror, she was amazed at her own reflection. The girl in the mirror was very beautiful, with a Roman nose and a small mouth. Perhaps she was more beautiful than many celebrities who had undergone plastic surgeries.

It was rumored that Christina had chosen to adopt her because of her beauty. At least from the outside, she was more beautiful than Sarah. Sarah was of common appearance, so why did Charles like Sarah and not her?

Thinking of Sarah and her behaviors toward Charles in front of her, Emma was about to lose control over her feelings. She sprinkled some water on the mirror again and again until she could only barely see her face, then she lowered her head and washed her face, attempting to wash off all her grievance and humiliations she had suffered in Houston, along with the scene of Sarah and Charles's lovely interactions from her mind..

Emma looked at the mirror again with her wet face. She clenched her fists as she started to talk to herself. Her eyes were fierce and determined. "I won't be the loser here! Sarah, I will not lose over her! Christina knocked on the door and called her name. "Emma, Emma?"

Emma slowly came back to her senses. She wiped her face quickly and opened the door.

Christina started to blame her. "I waited for you for so long. What are you doing? Your brother said you came back yesterday, and you went first to Houston?"

Emma didn't know Christina's true meaning. Was she blaming or praising her? "Er... I went to Houston first because I wanted to buy something. I didn't dare to stay for too long, so I came home this morning." She answered vaguely.

While talking, she started to become happy again. Searching through her belongings, she resumed, "Mom, I brought many things back from Australia for you and my dad. I brought so many gifts!"

Christina was thrilled. For years her son had stayed away from her; at least, she had a daughter, even if she was adopted. It turned out that Emma was more filial than Charles, which made her feel relieved. After opening her gifts, Christina held Emma's hands and sat down. "Your dad went out. I just want to ask you why you went to Houston yesterday?" she asked.

"No reason." Emma was looking down, playing absentmindedly with her fingers.

Christina insisted. "Don't be afraid. I wouldn't be mad. Rather, I think you figured out that you can take action without my help. Something must have happened in Houston, right? Tell me, I can help you." Emma answered shyly. "Sarah knows it!"

Christina didn't take it seriously and comforted Emma. "Don't worry. I am here. Sarah can do nothing even if you bully her openly."

"That's what I thought at the beginning too, I wasn't afraid of her at all. But yesterday, when I was at their house, I found it very difficult to deal with Sarah. At least she is stronger than I expected. She even fought back at me. Yesterday, she was completely against me!"

Emma was angry, just mentioning it. She lifted her head and said. "Mom, I don't know why she was so bad! I thought she was a good person. But for Charles, she did everything to please him. What a mean woman! I complained to Charles, but she turned it around as if it was my fault! Why did she ever show up here?"

"I told you that Sarah was not a good woman. You were so naïve and nice to her at the beginning. You even went back after her when Charles was in a car accident. You see, you brought the wolf back into the house. She finally managed to grab Charles away from us. Without me, you were cheated by her and made to do things for her."
