My Billionaire Husband

Sarah hadn't expected him to mention it and lifted her head quickly in defense. "Dad, no, that's not true…"

Mr. Thomas raised his hand to stop her. "You're a good girl. No need to explain yourself to me. I know it's not easy to be between them, one is my wife, and the other is my son. How could I not know? I just want to persuade you."

Sarah looked up at him, seemingly waiting for his advice.

Mr. Thomas put his hands on the table with fingers crossed, thinking for a while. "Rather than to persuade you, I am going to beg you. My wife has a bad temper, but she has made great contributions to my family over time. Without her, my business wouldn't be running so smoothly. Everyone knows that my wife helps me a lot, and people admire me for having such an amazing wife. What's more, as a couple, we have a good relationship and have always gotten along well, except for the difference in opinion when it comes to Charles's wedding."

"Dad… I'm sorry��"

Mr. Thomas stopped her again. "It is not your fault, please just hear me out. I have been with my wife for over thirty years now, she has done many things for me. I always spoiled her and compromised with her, even when she had a bad temper. But when it comes to Charles's marriage, I support you firmly, whereas my wife is completely against it. I won't let her break you up, so please, if something happens in the future, be tolerant toward my wife no matter how serious it gets."

"Hum..." Sarah was a little surprised at his speech and didn't know how to answer him. She saw the sincere look in his eyes and knew that this man loved his wife deeply. He had just said that he was lucky to be her husband, and Christina had said the same on an earlier occasion.

Mr. Thomas continued. "In fact, everything she did was for the good of our family, except for this time, her insistence is based on a wrong concept. She thinks that marriage should only be between people from the same social class. That's the only reason why she dislikes you and will be nice to you once she recognizes that she was wrong. Until then, you may have to be tolerant of her. We're family now, and we should be tolerant and generous with each other, right?"

Sarah understood him, and although knowing that Christina would cause her lots of trouble, she couldn't deny Mr. Thomas' offer after he had taken the time and opened up to her this way. "Dad, don't worry. After all, I am Charles's wife now, and I will respect her. Don't worry, dad. I will get along well with her and be tolerant with her if necessary."

Mr. Thomas nodded and smiled appreciatively. "Okay. At least as long as I am alive, I hope we can live in a harmonious family," He added.

Sarah walked toward him and held his hands like a daughter. "Dad, you are so nice to me. I don't know how to thank you enough. I'm willing to do everything for you as long as you're happy." Sarah promised sincerely.

Mr. Thomas patted her hand in appreciation, Smiling at her with a fatherly smile.

Thinking about it, Sarah actually admired Christina. She lived a good life with her husband, who loved her so much. Perhaps she was the happiest woman in the world.

What Sarah didn't know was that Christina had sent Emma to Houston after knowing that Sarah was coming back to Los Angeles to continue with her plan and destroy the relationship between Sarah and Charles.

Charles was still at home and had tried to call Sarah several times but without receiving an answer. He felt it was very strange and started to get worried, calling several of Sarah's friends to ask for her, but none of them were with Sarah starting to get more worried, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Charles went to look through the monitor and was surprised to see Emma standing at the door and smiling innocently. "Charles, it's me. I was afraid you wouldn't be home. Open the door for me, please."

Surprised and confused to see Emma in front of his home when she was supposed to be in Los Angeles, he had no option but to open the door, given that Emma was his adoptive sister.

Taking the fruit that Emma had brought him, Charles asked, "Emma, why are you here? Did mom send you? Aren't you busy getting ready for your flight tomorrow?

Emma shrugged her shoulders innocently and said, "Since I'm leaving tomorrow and you didn't have time to come and see me and I hadn't gotten the chance to visit you in your home yet, I decided to come to visit you before going abroad.

"Besides, there's nothing to see or do in Los Angeles. It's just a commercial metropolis and cannot compare with Houston and its cultural richness." Charles felt puzzled.

But Emma smiled and continued. "I just want to take a look around, aren't you happy to see me?"

"Well, let's go out then if that is what you want. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you."

Emma was pleased to know that Charles would come with her, and right after she got her things in, they left on an exploratory tour.

Emma was right, Los Angeles didn't have much to explore except for the commercial centers. Huston was much better for shopping, and Emma bought everything she wanted to take with her on her trip abroad. After purchasing several bags full of items, they were tired and went to an open-air coffee shop for refreshment.

The coffee shop offered beautiful scenery with a riverfront view, with tall buildings rising on the other side of the river and boats and sh.i.p.s going back and forth between the cities. The cool breeze made for a perfect outing in this comfortable place.

Emma had ordered juice and leisurely enjoyed the scenery. She felt very comfortable, thinking that this was the perfect moment to talk with Charles and try to entice him as planned with her mother. "No wonder you don't want to go back. If I were you, I probably wouldn't want to go back either. It's so nice here!" She said casually.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go abroad?" Charles sat cross-legged, seemingly enjoying the moment as well.
