Chapter 105: SHE HAD WON TONIGHT
Chapter 105: SHE HAD WON TONIGHT
This time, she needed to nip the problem in the bud. If she didn’t take action now, Emma would think
she was easily bullied!
But Emma wasn't willing to give up just yet. Having lost to Sarah with her cooking skills, she came up
with many different topics to talk about with Charles. They had always had a good relationship and had
many common issues to talk about endlessly, and anyone besides them seemed to be invisible to
them.
When Sarah and Charles had fallen in love at first, Sarah had felt ignored the same way when she first
met Emma. At that time, Sarah had thought that she lacked communication skills and thus was
neglected and had even felt sad about it. But now, when she recalled it, she understood that it wasn't
her fault.
Emma was a shrewd woman and had captured his attention deliberately all the time. If she were just a
friendly sister, she would not be able to keep his interest all this time while eating dinner with her
brother and his girlfriend. It was evident that Emma did it deliberately.
But everything had changed now. Sarah wouldn't allow Emma to bully her for the second time. When
Charles was talking with Emma, she gave him a second filling and asked, “Is it good?” Then she
changed the topic of conversation to the company and their private life. After all, they had been working
in the same company, and after marriage, they had more topics. Emma couldn't interfere with their
conversation, given that she knew nothing about it. How can she participate in their discussion?
Emma started to feel embarrassed. Sarah sneered in her heart. She had won tonight!
Emma finally realized that she had failed and resumed her meal in silence. Once they finished eating, it
was already nine o’clock at night. They had been sitting and chatting while eating for a long time. Now
that Emma had come to visit, she must stay for the night in their guestroom.
When bringing Emma a new bath towel and pajamas, which had been prepared for her just in case she
came to visit, Sarah saw a paper bag was on Emma's bed with a men's shirt, the same she had bought
at the shop earlier this morning.
Sarah smiled significantly and asked Emma intentionally, “Eh, Emma, why is there a men’s shirt on the
bed? Could you tell me who you bought this shirt?”
Emma was sitting beside the bed, busy on her new iPhone. Listening to Sarah's question, she looked
up at her with a bright and sweet smile. “Oh, I nearly forgot. I bought this as a gift for my brother!” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Sarah sneered in her heart. Emma had only brought a gift for Charles, but not for her. What did that
mean? Was that being a good sister? In fact, she knew that this shirt was not an ordinary gift!
Sarah responded purposefully, “That’s okay, but I also bought a shirt for him today.”
Emma paused, and then she asked, “You also bought one?”
“Yes.”
Emma smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. It's okay as long as they are different shirts.”
“That's the thing, we both bought the same shirt, and I already gave it to Charles just now, so… what
are you going to do with yours? I heard that it's not good to give the same gift to the same person. He'll
be awkward, and he may not be amazed.”
What Sarah was trying to say was that there was no need for Emma to give the shirt to Charles since
he already had the exact same shirt, and he may feel embarrassed.
But to Sarah's surprise, Emma just smiled at Sarah, then suddenly ran out with her gift towards Charles
and whined. “Brother, I bought a gift for you, but Sarah is trying to stop me!”
Stop? She never said that. Sarah thought. She had just told me that it wasn't a good idea. Now Emma
was twisting her words!
As expected, Charles asked doubtfully, “Why? What is wrong?”
Emma continued winning. “Sarah said that you have already received the same gift, but I didn’t know.
After I got off the plane, I couldn't find a place to rest, so I went to the mall to buy something for you,
dragging my luggage with me. I eventually ended up buying this one for you, but she told me that she
bought the same one for you.”
Charles listened to her carefully and knew that Emma really felt that she had been wronged, so he said
thoughtfully. “It doesn’t matter, give it to me anyway!”
Emma handed it happily over to him and said, “To reward me, you should wear it tomorrow, okay?”
Sarah finally couldn't stand it anymore. This was her first time buying clothes for Charles. Even before
she urged him to dress the shirt she had brought tomorrow, Emma was doing it!
Thus, she walked out and said with a soft smile, “Charles, you need to take a shower now. I prepared
your clothes, and today you must use that body wash with cologne because you are meeting a big
client tomorrow. The body wash is perfect for the occasion and is better than using perfume directly.
With this, you will have a little fragrance on your body tomorrow, elegant and professional. As for the
shirt and tie you should wear, I also already prepared those. Everything is prepared to match the
occasion, don’t ruin it.” Then Sarah continued to tidy up as before.
Charles was in between them, not sure what to do next, so he finally said to Emma, “I got your gift, but
maybe I can’t wear it tomorrow. I will wear it the day after tomorrow, I promise!”
Emma watched Sarah walk away. Of course, she knew Sarah did it deliberately. But she could do
nothing about it. All she said was, “Okay, Charles, it depends on you.”
Before going to sleep, Charles and Emma watched TV and laughed loudly. Sarah was applying her
moisturizer in her room and glanced at them through the mirror. She smiled a little and then went out,
purposely asking Charles to go to sleep early tonight. All she wanted was to distract them as she didn't
like them being together in the living room.
