A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Chapter 76: IT’S EASY TO KNOW A MAN’S FACE

Daniel hesitated for a little while, then answered. “Perhaps… it will affect your mood. Take a look!” He

finally gave it to her.

Sarah took it quickly and swept her hand over the envelope as if that would reveal the secret. It was a

plain envelope, with only a few blank lines for writing an address and zip code, but nothing was written

on it. She opened it and touched something hard.

She frowned. “Photos?”

Daniel just nodded. It was a pile of photos, at least a hundred. Looking down, Sarah paused for a while

and then went on.

Daniel was observing her every move and expression. In the beginning, she paused for a second, but

then became more focused. Gradually, she began to frown, and her face turned pale. Finally, even her

hands were shaking. It seemed that these photos scared her, and the images were making her feel

sick.

Sarah kept silent until she finished looking through all the photos with trembling hands. These photos

showed everything that had happened between Charles and Emma the other day.

They started with Emma going to Charles’s home, them chatting together happily, making food and

eating, and then going shopping together. Charles was picking things for Emma and paying for all her

things. Then they went to a riverside coffee shop for a drink, and finally, the pictures revealed their

embrace and long intimate kiss at the hospital.

Sarah didn’t know that her husband, whom she had trusted completely, would do something like this

secretly. She always knew that Charles used to have many girlfriends, but had thought that he had

changed since he promised her before their marriage.

He had never broken his promise or said anything outrageous to her, and she had never found

anything that had even slightly raised her suspicion. She had never expected that he still had a feeling

for Emma in his heart, and went as far as kissing her.

He had promised her that he didn't love Emma as a woman anymore and that he only looked at her as

his sister. Was he lying to her? Was Emma so charming that Charles would betray her like this over

and over again?

She also didn’t expect that Emma, who looked kind and friendly, should hook up with her husband in

secret. As the saying goes, it’s easy to know a man's face, but not their hearts.

Sarah felt sick to her stomach and felt like part of her heart was being ripped out of her chest. These

pictures made her doubt that anything she knew was, in fact, real, or if she indeed had no one she

could trust. She lifted her head and looked out the window, forcing herself to stay calm.

Daniel noticed from Sarah's pale face that she was about to cry but was trying hard to control her

emotions. “Sarah, are you okay?” He asked, concerned.

Sarah didn’t answer him. He was getting worried about her and took hands, slightly shaking them.

“Sarah, are you okay?”

They both were unaware of the photographer who was spying on them from the beginning. The

photographer kept taking pictures at their every move, waiting to catch something remotely intimate

looking behavior, just like now when Daniel was holding her hands while looking at her face with a

gentle expression on his face.

After a long time, Sarah finally looked away from the window and lowered her head. When she finally

raised her head, she seemed calm. Jerking around, she said with a determined voice. “I'm okay. Just a

little surprised… where did these photos come from?”

“Someone put it on my desk. No one saw a person with this envelope. I also doubted it at first, but

when I asked my friend to authenticate the pictures, he also believed them to be real. These photos

were taken secretly.”

Sarah sneered. Now she was sad but remained calm. She never let herself get distracted under

pressure, but instead had to think the whole thing through carefully. After thinking for a while, she

asked again, “Taken secretly? It seemed that someone did it deliberately, not wanting to see our

happiness.”

Daniel hurried to explain himself. “Sarah, it was not me. I showed them to you. You can’t be cheated

like this all the time. I don’t know whether there was someone purposely trying to get between you and

Charles, but I know these photos are real. It is a fact that Charles was with Emma that day. I had to

inform you.”

“I know. I know you're nice to me, and I never thought that you would try to get between our

relationship. I just think who it could be. Why did they take photos secretly and give it to you? For you

to show them to me? Whoever that was, it was all planned.” She said.

Seeing her cold eyes, Daniel sighed. “Sarah, you're always calm. It seems that you are so calm ever

from the young age of 15. You had to mature too early. It hurts me to see you like this. You were faced

with such cruel problems so young, and now, you have to face your husband’s betrayal… cry, make a NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

scene, vent your anger instead of keeping it all in. It will help you to feel better… less painful.” He said

his last word, barely whispering as if he was reluctant for Sarah to hear him.

“I won’t cry!” Sarah said coldly and resumed, “The enemy is determined to destroy my relationship. If I

make a scene, they are already winning.”

“What are you going to do?”

Sarah stared out of the window, struggling to keep a straight face. Then she replied calmly. “Give these

photos to me. I will find the right time to talk to Charles. If it is true, I have to give him a chance to

explain himself. If not… I also need to hear him out on this. Does he love his sister or me?”

“If Charles still loves Emma, what are you going to do then?” Daniel insisted further.
