Chapter 37: I WILL TRY NEVER TO DISAPPOINT YOU
"You have no respect at all. How on earth has Charles taken a fancy to you!" Mrs. Thomas replied
bitterly.
Sarah sneered, "Mrs. Thomas, do you really know your own son? Mr. Thomas felt a little guilty about
Charles because of the way he deprived him of attention during his early years. You, however, do you
even care about your son? Do you know what he wants?"
"I'm his mother. I can give him the best thing in the world!" Mrs. Thomas hadn't expected Sarah to
respond to her with such hostility.
Sarah looked at her calmly and said, "Mrs. Thomas, I thought you were a good mother before. After all, Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
you care about Charles. Therefore, when you asked me to leave, I promised you I would. However,
over time, I have discovered that you are disrespectable and disillusioned. You never make allowances
for others, including your son. You never got to know your son, and you never ask him what he wants.
Instead, you impose what you think is good on him according to your will. You hardly consider that
these good things may not be suitable for Charles. So, today I just want you to know that I will never
consider your opinion again, no matter how you try to stop us. I love Charles, and we will be together
forever!"
"Oh my god!" Mrs. Thomas had never been challenged in this way before. Her face flushed with
shame, "Look at yourself! I always thought you were a decent girl, and you wouldn't badger with
Charles for fame. Now, however, I see that I had you wrong. You are even more shameless than these
girls who are only after fame and wealth!"
Suddenly, Sarah stood up and answered, "Mrs. Thomas, I am a decent girl, that's why I wouldn't play
up to you, and that's why I challenge you when I think you are wrong. It seems as though you will never
agree to it, but I still want to be with Charles. I would still take you as my mother-in-law for the wedding
if you agree to be respectful. If you still show me disrespect, I will fight against you. I only hope we can
have an equal and harmonious relationship."
"You!" Mrs. Thomas suddenly stood up and was about to quarrel further when a voice was heard
shouting from a distance, "All right!" Mr. Thomas had returned, interrupting their conversation.
Mrs. Thomas immediately began arguing with him, "You see. This is who you chose! She has
disrespected her elders before even becoming a part of our family."
Sarah seemed to realize how aggressive she had just been, so she lowered her head and kept silent.
Mr. Thomas walked closer to them and said, coldly, "I see it now. It is very clear. Christina, you needn't
concern yourself with Charles's wedding. I have told you that I can take care of it. What are you doing
now?"
"Charles is my son. Why shouldn't I care about his wedding? Who did you choose?!" Mrs. Thomas was
still completely unable to keep calm.
"I have chosen her. Who is the master in this family? Are you qualified to decide Charles's life
decisions?" Mr. Thomas said assertively.
Mrs. Thomas ground her teeth but could think of no way to refute him. At last, she picked up her bag
and said, "Whatever happens, I will never call you my daughter-in-law." Finishing her words, she turned
and left the room.
Sarah didn't know what to do; after all, everything had somehow been caused by her. Then she said to
Mr. Thomas, "I'm sorry. Maybe I am not an eligible daughter-in-law. It seems that I can't even respect
my future mother-in-law."
Mr. Thomas sighed and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Christina has been a certain way from a young age.
She can't tolerate others challenging her. It's natural to argue with her, I know it is not your fault. I saw
your spirit from your conversation just now. Your persistence solidified my faith in you. Charles really
has chosen a wonderful woman!"
"Are you joking? I felt so guilty!" Sarah answered.
Mr. Thomas patted her shoulder comfortingly. "You've done well. I support you. You must be with
Charles. It would ease my mind to know that you can take care of yourself. Can you do it? Sometimes,
Charles is like a child. He is possessive about things that he cares about. So, he may sometimes do
you wrong and cause you great upset in the future. Are you willing to forgive him when he behaves like
that?"
Sarah looked up at him and replied humbly, "Thank you so much for your support. I am moved. As for
Charles, I will always care for him as best as I can and cherish the chance to be with him. I will try my
best to tolerate his faults. I will try never to disappoint you."
Mr. Thomas nodded and smiled. "Actually, if you can trust each other, nothing is impossible. I believe
that you can do it." Mr. Thomas was unaware now of just how much trouble his teachings of tolerance
would cause for Charles and Sarah's marriage in the future.
