My Billionaire Husband

After Emma left, Sarah came out of the fitting room. One sales associate seemed to have noticed her stealthy actions before and came to ask her, "Madam, is there anything wrong?"

Sarah quickly answered, "No…nothing." and hurried to leave.

Walking home was dreading. Why did Emma buy the exact same shirt she had purchased and in Charles's size? Why didn't she go home to Los Angeles after coming back from Australia? What was she doing here? Would she go back to Australia again?

The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. What's more, she now feared Emma after everything that had happened before. She knew that no matter what Emma was doing, she couldn't be underestimated. Determined to set her foot down, she called Charles.

To her surprise, Charles didn't answer his phone, so she called his secretary. The secretary told Sarah that Charles was in a meeting and asked if she could take a message for him. 

"No, thank you!" Sarah said, frustrated as she hung up the phone.

Charles was in a meeting, which meant that he didn't know Emma was back, or else he would have gone to pick her up from the airport. If Emma had come here without telling anyone, was she planning to surprise Charles?

Sarah decided not to overthink about Emma since everything related to Emma made her upset and annoyed. She remembered Carrie's words that suspicion would only bring her further away from Charles.

Finally, she sent Charles a text. "Emma is back in Houston, did you know?"

Sarah thought that if Charles knew that she knew Emma was back, he would watch his behavior around Emma.

There was nothing else Sarah could do. She had to stop thinking and not get too upset, or how else would she be able to confront her rival in love?

Taking a deep breath, Sarah walked to the park to meet Carrie.

However, this time, her calmness and her trust in Charles were wrong. Now that Emma was back, the fight had just begun…

Sarah was upset knowing that Emma was back, and she was feeling very depressed when meeting Carrie. She walked to the park with her head held down. 

Carrie arrived at the park at three as promised, and was surprised to find that Sarah wasn't there yet. After waiting for a while, she saw Sarah strolling, holding her bag in her hand. Seeing her being like this, Carrie hurried to wave at her and shouted, "Sarah, Sarah, I'm over here. Come here!"

Hearing Carrie's voice, Sarah raised her head and saw Carrie waving at her. She hurried up to walk to her, trying hard to smile. Pretending to be happy, she exclaimed, "Carrie, you came early!"

"It's already half-past three, you're the one who's late!" Carrie responded in a blaming tone. She turned around and picked up a container from her bed and said, "I make some lotus-seed soup today. I remembered how much you like it, so I brought you some, also for your husband. I don't know how to thank him for the big dinner last time."

Sarah took the container happily and said, "Thank you, Carrie. That dinner was to thank you for your help. Thanks to you, I got through that period, so it was necessary to extend our thanks to you."

Carrie laughed, then looked carefully at Sarah and asked, "Well, it seems that you and Charles made up after that day, but you look very upset today, what happened? What problems do you have now?"

Sarah sighed and lowered her head, barely whispering, "Alas, we have different views on how to raise children, that's why I wanted to ask you something about it, but now, it… it just became about so much more than just children."

"Then, what is it? Carrie encouraged her to continue.

Sarah hesitated for a moment, then finally decided that since she had come here to ask Carrie for help, she should tell her the whole story, everything that had happened over the last six months. She even included everything intimate between her and Charles, the relationship between Charles and Emma, as well as with Christina. It took her almost the entire afternoon to describe everything that had happened. Sarah started to feel thirsty after she finally was done.

Carrie kept listening, interrupting from time to time by asking questions to clarify something. Toward the end, she became so angry that she started patting the bench and said, "Your mother-in-law is really despicable. Why does she intervene in your marriage? When Charles was little, she didn't care about him, but not that he's an a.d.u.l.t, why does she care so much about whom he married? It's his right to choose whom to marry! Not to mention that you two are already married. Emma is even worse! She is adopted, how can they talk about birth? Is a foster child of a higher social class than you? You said that she graduated from a famous university. If she has such a good education, then how can she break up your marriage? She is acting like a mistress, has it become honorable to be a mistress?" Carrie complained.

Sarah just shook her head and sighed in distress.

Carrie continued. "Last time I saw Charles, I thought him a good man and thought you had found your Mr. Right and would live a happy life. Given that and Emma had a romantic relationship before, he should stay away from her after getting married. At the very least, he should think of you.

"How could he still be with Emma and even be photographed by others? Although there must be someone secretly manipulating the photo, he still did it. It never occurred to me that he is a man who lacks self-control. If he cared about you and didn't meet Emma, how can he be photographed with her? So, both are bad! I thought him to be a good husband, but he turned out to be a playboy!"

When Carrie was criticizing Charles, Sarah started to feel a little uncomfortable and tried to defend him, "Actually, Charles is not all bad, he apologized to me afterwards…"
