Chapter 91: YOU ARE SO TRICKY


    Carrie sighed, “I know. You feel this way because of his family''s objection, which makes you suffer from


    imaginary fears, and you overthink things. Maybe it is because you experienced a lot in your childhood


    which made you more mature than most girls your age, but Sarah, you should know that it''s too far into


    the future. No one can predict what will happen in the future, so why overthink about it now? Instead,


    cherish the present. It’s enough to have a good time now. Why should we suffer from overthinking?


    Sarah looked up, nkly at Carrie. She felt Carrie''s words might have some truth, and she started to


    doubt herself. Did she overthink? Should she worry about things that may never happen in the future?


    Was it okay to just cherish the present? Not finding the right words to refute Carrie''s speech, Sarah


    finally lowered her head silently.


    Carrie grabbed her hand. “Believe me, I have been down that road, and I know things happened in a


    marriage. I have always liked you, and I only want what''s good for you. I wouldn’t hurt you. You are


    overthinking now.”


    Sarah still didn’t answer. After a while, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Charles''s name on


    the caller ID. “Where are you now?” Charles asks when she answers.


    Sarah nced at Carrie, who seemed to know who was calling. She hurriedly smiled and hinted that


    she should continue the call. Sarah turned around and said, “I am at the park near the pedestrian block


    at Fifth Avenue. What’s the matter?”


    Charles asked, “What are you doing there? Are you alone?”


    “No, I''m with a friend who used to live next door to me. She was always so nice to me, and we hadn''t


    seen each other for five years. Today, we met by ident, so we went for a walk together.” answered


    Sarah.


    “Wait a moment. Don’t go anywhere. I wille to you.” Charles said as he hung up the phone.


    Carrie asked with a smile, “What did he say?”


    Sarah lowered her head and replied, holding her phone tightly. “He said he ising to pick us up.”


    Carrie covered her mouth in surprise andughed, “Aha-ha, you see. I am right. He is nice to you.


    Don’t be sad, and get that look again. He will be unhappy to see your cold face every day. Your


    marriage is okay, but I''m not sure for how long if you continue like this. If things get worse, it will be


    your fault. It''s difficult to find a man of that social status and treats you nicely. Actually, it''s hard for him


    to be so nice to you if you keep a sour face. You should cherish him.”


    Sarah smiled in bad grace. She thought maybe Carrie was right. It was her fault. She shouldn’t


    overthink and be sad all the time.


    They went to take Lucas on a roller coaster ride first, then on a sea rover. Coming out of the haunted


    house, Sarah felt morefortable. Being a child again felt great, she could y if she wanted, worry-


    free.


    ying with Lucas encouraged her to throw all worries off. She became happier, and her smile had


    returned to her face, thanks to Carrie and Lucas.


    When Charles came, Lucas was ying with some other children on a trampoline, while Sarah and


    Carrie were standing outside watching them,ughing with the children who were jumping joyfully.

    Sarah was beaming with a bright smile on her face, looking much better now, which was a significant


    improvement from the previous days. Charles was happy to see herughing out loud. He likes to look


    at his girl happy, worry-free, and smiling happily.


    He walked to her and asked. “What are you looking at? Why are youughing?”


    Sarah turned around, surprised to hear his voice. Then she smiled and said, “You came. We are


    watching Lucas. Kids are so funny! Lucas is Carrie’s son.” She seemed to recall Carrie and introduced


    her to Charles.


    Carrie’s eyes twinkled as soon as she saw Charles. “How handsome, you are such a lucky girl.”


    Both Charles and Sarahughed. Charles looked very happy when seeing Sarah’s smiling face, he felt


    morefortable and wanted to kiss her to show his love.


    They talked for a while until Charles suddenly asked, “Have you eaten? It''s time for dinner now. Shall


    we go out for a meal altogether?” He turned to Carrie, “Where is your husband? Maybe he cane to


    eat with us, and Lucas''s grandma and grandpa… We can go all together. It is my treat!”


    Carrie happily epted the invitation. It wasn''t often toe across such a generous man. She


    hurriedly calls her family. Charles asked them what they wanted to eat, and finally, they settled for a


    western-style restaurant at the children''s preference.


    Carrie’s family was happy to be invited to an expensive and fancy restaurant. Carrie was convinced


    that Charles was a good person, so after their meal, she secretly said to Sarah. “I think your husband is


    great. Don’t give up yet. Both his manners and looks are fantastic. You are lucky to have married him.


    Turning around and looking at him, Sarah saw him looking at her and raising his eyebrow to her. She


    felt like she was being tricked. Perhaps this dinner was to bribe Carrie and make her put in a good


    word for him. He was really crafty!


    After dinner, while Sarah was going home with Charles in his car, she couldn''t help but ask. “Did you


    say something to Carrie behind my back? Why is she taking your side?”


    Charles smiled triumphantly. “What did I say? It''s my good personality, you see? Strangers like talking


    to me.”


    “You are so tricky! She was bribed by your invitation.”


    Charles moved closer to her and embraced her. “There is no need to bribe. I appreciated her as I


    haven’t seen you smile for a long time. Carrie made a great contribution today, so I thank her, that''s all.”


    He said.
