I should have stayed outside longer, Sarah thought regretfully, had I known the Calsises hadn’t stopped looking for
me! And
how greedy and impossible they were that they should have wanted a young maiden to marry a man like Charlie!
“But weren’t you fond of my uncle?” Rose asked Sarah. “I still remember that!” Sarah had been bringing gifts to
Rose back then, just in the hope that Rose would put in a good word for her in front of Charlie. And how cruel Sarah
was now, Rose sighed, that she only wished herself a million miles away from him.
“Yes, I was. But look at what he is like now. Are you going to do a moral blackmail to me?” There was profound
rejection in Sarah’s eyes.

much.
too.”
“But…I guess you won’t let you uncle know about me coming back, will you?” ventured Sarah.
Rose nodded resolutely. “I won’t, as you don’t seem to like that.” But Rose was having another plan in her heart.
She thought. she had to obtain Sarah’s trust right now, and she believed Sarah was bound to change her mind
later. The day when Sarah returned to the Calsis’ Residence was the cue for Theresa to disappear. And the thought
of Theresa only got Rose more upset, as she thought it was that “vicious woman” who had driven her out of her
own home..
Rose’s reply reassured Sarah a lot. Sarah thus appeared less tense now. “Thank you, Rose. You know how hard life
has been for me to drift outside? Please stop ailing me when I finally come back. Your kindness will be well
rewarded, I promise you
that.”
Rose nodded agreeably.
Charlie didn’t go home by the evening. Jonathan called Theresa up, asking her to have a check in the company.
Theresa agreed and went here, where Jonathan met her at the gate.
“Where’s Charlie?” enquired Theresa.
“In his office. He refuses to go out.” Jonathan sounded quite anxious.
Theresa was puzzled. “Wasn’t he quite OK?” He even had the good humor to send her flowers.
Compressing his lips, Jonathan finally answered in a complicated look, “Sarah is back.”
Theresa was stunned. “When?” asked she.

“Just today.” Jonathan answered. Sarah thought she had well hidden her trace, yet she was actually detected in no
time by Charlie’s subordinates when she first re-appeared in this city. Charlie just hadn’t taken any move yet.
Getting into Charlie’s office, Theresa found him sitting by the window as though regarding the city by night. She
went up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder in a placatory manner. Yet he just lifted his hand to grasp her
hand out of the sub-consciousness of rejection. Theresa frowned as his grip really hurt. He was exuding the smell of
violence now. But what hurt Theresa more emotionally was that the news should have brought so huge a shock to
him. She then remembered her promise that their marriage would be over when Sarah came back.
“It hurts.” cried she.
Charlie let go of her at once, though still looking quite deflated. “What are you doing here?” asked he.
Rubbing her wrist, Theresa answered, “I was passing through.” She was actually invited by Jonathan, who had been
so desperate and thus took her as the last straw. Yet Jonathan was wrong. Theresa was no the right therapy for
Charlie’s temper now.
