Chapter 34: I WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER
Chapter 34: I WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER
Two months later, Charles left the hospital and came back to the company to work. Sarah had decided
to go back to the company as well, but Mr. Thomas had since convinced her not to return. Mr. Thomas
had come to Sarah one day with a proposition, “Sarah, since you and Charles love each other so
much, how about getting married early? That way, I can stop worrying about it.”
The idea of it all happening so soon made Sarah feel a little anxious. She answered, “Mr. Thomas, the
marriage is too early. What’s more, Charles doesn’t know about it either. I don’t know how he feels
about it all.”
Mr. Thomas laughed, “You mean that you will promise to marry Charles as long as he wants to?”
Sarah didn’t know how to answer, so she just nodded. She thought that this decision should come from
Charles.
Mr. Thomas smiled, “Then it will be easy. Charles has known about this the whole time. We told him, it
is he who wants to know your thoughts first. Therefore, it’s all up to you. He said that he didn’t want to
force you.”
Sarah was stunned. Mr. Thomas continued, “So, what do you think?”
Sarah lowered her head and said, “If that’s the case, I will negotiate with Charles.”
Mr. Thomas burst into laughter and then said, “It seems that Charles has his work cut out for him.”
Sarah asked, “Mr. Thomas, why are you supporting us? After all, I don’t really deserve Charles.”
Mr. Thomas smiled and shook his head, “There is no right or wrong match when it comes to love. It’s all
up to you two. Moreover...” Suddenly, Mr. Thomas began to cough and placed a handkerchief over his
mouth. Sarah was worried and asked, “Mr. Thomas, what’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing, I’m ok. I think I have a cold, and it’s probably because of the changing weather. I’ll take some
medicine, and then I will be fine.” Mr. Thomas was still violently coughing as he said this, and Sarah
suspected that this was not merely the symptom of a common cold. He was looking even thinner than
the last time they met. However, it would be impolite for her to ask more, so she suggested that she
should accompany him to go to the hospital. Mr. Thomas refused, however, explaining that his driver
could take him to the hospital. Thus, Sarah had no option other than to drop it.
Before Mr. Thomas left, he said to Sarah graciously, “Sarah, you are so kind. I am very satisfied with
the thought of you being my daughter-in-law. You are certainly more virtuous than many other women. I
will urge Charles to act soon!”
Sarah was as confused as to how she should react to his praise as she was by his promise to speak to
Charles. Later that night, however, everything became clear when Charles invited her to join him down
by the seaside.
As they boarded Charles’ luxury yacht, Sarah asked, “Where do you want to take me to?”
Charles didn’t answer but smiled at her mysteriously. He held her hand and led her to the yacht. After
he had asked the boatman to drive the ship away, he turned to Sarah and said: “Go into the ship, I
have prepared a present for you!”
So, Sarah pushed the door and went into the ship. When she turned on the light, she was completely
overwhelmed by what she saw. The cabin was decorated almost entirely with red roses, which were
piled into the shape of hearts as well as the words “I love you.” Even the ground was covered with red
rose petals, which Sarah was nervous to even step on.
Sarah was so moved that she almost began to cry. She thought about how much time and energy it
would take to decorate a room as big as this. Charles had been so busy recently. Sarah turned around
and asked, “How long did it take you to do this?”
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Charles on one knee, with one hand holding a large
bunch of flowers and the other holding a small red box. When he opened it, inside was a beautiful
diamond ring. Charles looked up at her longingly and said, “Sarah, marry me. I love you!”
Sarah was so stunned; she didn’t know what to say. She just stared at him, shocked but full of joy.
Charles said sincerely, “I will be with you forever. I will love you and make you happy. I will make you
the happiest woman in the world! Sarah, marry me!”
Hearing his words, Sarah finally cried. She said nothing, just stepped forward to pick up the flowers and
the diamond ring, and then hugged him, “I will. I will be with you forever!”
