A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 131

Christina was shocked by Emma's abnormal behavior. She first glanced at her husband's room top to ensure that he wouldn't see them, then closed the door behind her, and took Emma by her hand, and pulled her to a corner for privacy. “What’s wrong with you, Emma?”

“Mom, I just went out to buy food with my brother, using the chance to strengthen my bond with him, but everything is destroyed by Sarah now. All he can see now is Sarah, he doesn't have eyes for me at all!”

Christina saw Emma's tears bursting through her eyelids with great pain. She grabbed her arms and asked, “Emma, what’s wrong? What happened to the good girl crying like this? Tell me, Sarah, that vixen, what did she do now to make you so angry and cry? Tell me, I’ll help you to fight back!”

Emma raised her head angrily and said in between sobs. “No, she didn’t do anything to me, it's better than that. Sarah, she… she's pregnant. Mom, we have no merit!”

Mrs. Thomas stared at Emma for a long time with a sophisticated and shocked look. Finally, after a long time, she asked, stunned. “What? Say that again!”

“Sarah's pregnant!” Emma cried out.

Christina finally seemed to understand and repeated, “Sarah's pregnant? ....Sarah, she's pregnant!”

“Yeah, Mom, now that she's pregnant, all our plans are ruined. She ruined everything. Damn it! She's a demon! Now we can't make her break up with Charles after all she did. I really don't know what she did to completely capture Charles's mind!”

Contrary to Emma’s raging, Christina remained very calm, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked, “What did Charles do?”

“Charles has always wanted a baby, so of course, he is ecstatic. Just now, in the room, he was overwhelmed by happiness. He only can see her now; he has no eyes for anything else. He didn't even see me as he was holding Sarah and promising her always to protect her, love her, and respect her forever. I was so sad hearing all that! I'm so angry! …Mom, do we still have a chance? Charles loves her. Is there anything we can do to make them break up in the future?”

“Shut up!” Christina suddenly sneered at Emma as if she was too upset to bear Emma’s constant complaining.

Emma stared in surprise at her mother, she felt even more wrong now that she got scorned by her too. Even her mother, the one who had always loved her, would scorn her now of all times. What did she do that was so wrong?

Christina continued in a cold voice, “Just when the war has begun, you admit being the loser at the first unexpected thing that happened, how can you succeed like that?”

Christina loosened her grip and laughed cruelly, “Well, from tomorrow on, we can’t deal with her the way we used to. We must use fiercer ways to deal with her until she can’t handle it. I want to see what she can do against us, Hum!”

The news that Sarah was pregnant had spread around among Charles's relatives. Everyone was happy for them, especially Mr. Thomas was so excited to be a grandfather that he became better. Whenever he met his friends, he would tell them proudly that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and that he would soon have a grandchild.”

Charles’s aunt Crystal also called to congratulate and said that she had an extra spare room should they need help to babysit, promising only the best for the education of their child.

Charles and Sarah were thrilled with this new chapter in their life. After a long period of misunderstandings and conflict, they finally were happy again. For Sarah, it was the first time that she felt accepted in Charles's family, with everyone extending their best wishes to her, except for Emma and Christina, who still refused to acknowledge her as part of their family.

Feeling cared for and acknowledged by the rest of the family, including aunts and uncles, Sarah was happy to feel the warmth of family again finally.
