Marry Ex’s Uncle After Divorcement By Jacqueline Chapter 238

Leah hurried to go up to her husband and held his arm, if not actually stopping him, “Johnson, why are you here? Didn’t you go to sleep?”

Staring at Sarah, Johnson went on repeating unheedingly, in order to make himself clearer, “Your sister was married for you because you went missing back then. Her marriage was only provisional because you are the real fiancee of Charlie. Do you remember you’ve had your mother persuade me to allow your marriage with him? And I thought you two match each other too. But you then just went back on your words. I shall not allow such a disgraceful behavior in our Cameron family. Since the engagement between Charlie and you is still retrospective, you should marry Charlie now as you promised, shouldn’t you?”

Sarah’s face had stiffened. She just hadn’t expected his father to back up Charlie, who had been after her stubbornly. That must be due to Johnson’s favoritism to his own daughter Theresa! What a cold- hearted stepfather, Sarah cursed, that he was pushing his step-daughter into the pit for the sake of his own daughter!

Biting her lip, Sarah replied to Johnson, “Father, is it necessary for me to fulfill the engagement when Charlie and Theresa are getting along with each other now? I don’t think Theresa will like the arrangement either.” She then turned to Theresa, thinking her sister should be quite grateful for the marriage into a rich family, which, in Sarah’s eyes, was quite a nice deal for a woman like her.

Yet Theresa was clear that Sarah was only taking her as a pretext. For my sake? Please! Theresa snorted. If Charlie had been. as healthy and sound as before, instead of sitting on the wheelchair now, how could Sarah be willing to give up the “blessed opportunity” or have any consideration of the feeling of Theresa and Charlie!

Theresa thus spoke, “It wouldn’t affect me. I’d be very glad if you could marry him now, since I was only helping to take your

place then. Father is right. It’s your responsibility to fulfill your promise.” And the so-called marriage between Charlie and her was no more than a protocol, Theresa thought bitterly, despite the composure with which she took a quick peep at Charlie. Theresa even began to tease herself for the affection to the man in a fake marriage. Now she could only strive to repress the bitterness and persuade herself to act according to the protocol,

Sarah was quite displeased. “Theresa, the engagement is actually about you, theoretically. Just think, Old Mr. Calsis has

always been thinking about a granddaughter-in-law from the Cameron family. But you chose Jimmy Watson, and I had to get engaged with Charlie for you. You are actually supposed to Charlie’s wife in the first place.”

“But Old Mr. Calsis now chose you…” retorted Theresa.

“Definitely not!” Sarah cut in. “He of course likes you more, since you are so kind and excellent a woman. Don’t be modest, Theresa. And it would only be a joke that gets people to gossip if a man marries two sisters in a family, especially when you two are already a legitimate couple.”

“Enough!” Charlie intervened grimly to stop the alteration. Sarah and Theresa were hushed up. His face darkening, Charlie snapped on the wheelchair after glancing at the two sisters respectively, “So I’m such a disgusting encumbrance in your eyes that both of you just can’t wait to shirk?” The two sisters should have staged a row over him, who had once been so hot a candidate among women for their husband! There was enormous grievance and chilliness in Charlie’s eyes as he cast. a look at Theresa. Theresa paused when she discovered his gloominess, though she wasn’t sure about that.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Charlie…” Theresa turned to him.
