Marry Ex's Uncle After Divorcement

Chapter 009 Negotiate with Charlie

Charlie landed his gaze on Theresa and said, “Dr. Cameron, I’m listening.”

Theresa’s treatment recovered consciousness for his legs, and he was being polite to her. Theresa said, “Please forgive the Camerons. My father is getting aged and the Cameron’s company is the fruit of his whole life’s labor. Please show mercy.”

Charlie cast a glance at Jonathan and then at Theresa. He was almost confused.

“Your father?” Jonathan explained, “Dr. Cameron is Mr. Cameron’s daughter, and… Sarah’s sister.”

“Is that so?” Charlie looked at Theresa surprisingly, “You don’t look like her.”

Charlie didn’t really like Sarah. He accepted the marriage because it was his grandfather’s wish. He had been close to his grandfather since his boyhood. Grandfather arranged the marriage together with grandfather’s comrade-in-arms. As it was grandfather’s wish, Charlie didn’t refuse.

But Sarah was not a good woman to marry. Anyway, it was a marriage without love. He thought that he could tolerate it. However, after the car accident, Sarah should run away, which made him the butt of joke to the whole city. More than that, Grandfather fell ill because of her running away, and he was still in hospital. He couldn’t bear the harm Sarah caused to Grandfather. Theresa said, “Jonathan is right. I’m Johnson’s daughter. My father is in hospital right now and he really can’t take another blow, so… I hope Mr. Calsis could show mercy to the Camerons.”

Hearing her words, Charlie produced a mocking smile. Although he was polite to Theresa, this request crossed the line.

“Why should I listen to you?” “I will try my best to help you with acupuncture and for free. Also, if you really want to get Sarah, I will also find a way to find her and bring her to you.” Charlie darkened his

face when he heard Theresa’s words.

“You won’t give Sarah to me. If you will, it wouldn’t have taken this long.” He was angry because the Cameron refused to bring Sarah to the surface. He kept grandfather’s promise and made Sarah his fiancée. But what did the Cameron do in return? Did they have the slightest respect to him? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Theresa explained, “Sarah is not a Cameron. She was with her mother when her mother married into the Cameron. What she did has nothing to do with Cameron.” “Oh.” Charlie sneered, “You Cameron said that she is one when we were engaging. And now that I become a cripple, you are telling me that she is not a Cameron! Do I look like an idiot to you?”

Theresa stared at Charlie and said, “So, you opinion is that you will ruin the Cameron no matter what? Even if I help you with acupuncture and cure your legs?” “Yes.” Charlie didn’t deny, “Under no circumstance will you make me change my mind. I am quite a vengeful person. You cannot pay for what Sarah did. “I don’t believe that you can understand my feeling when my other half ditched me when I run into trouble. If the person you marry is so unreliable, then tell me, who else can I trust in this world?”

Theresa was surprised by his opinion. She didn’t expect Charlie to be able to reach such a conclusion.

She smiled. Charlie looked at her and asked, “Why are smiling?” “I smiled because I think Mr. Calsis is pretty naive. You haven’t married Sarah Cameron, and you began expecting her to be reliable? In this world, you might be unable to count on your spouse, let alone fiancée?” Speaking of which, she thought of Jimmy, who she didn’t see through until dating him for three years and being his wife for another three years… And her failure to see Jimmy’s true color early enough resulted in her current miserable fate. And Charlie, who was powerful enough to do anything he wanted in this city, should be naiver than her.

When she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. The past was like a thorn stuck in his heart. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get rid of it. She trusted that man, but he made her suffer so much and made her lose the confidence to trust.

Charlie looked at her. Somehow, he could feel the pain exuded from her eyes. Theresa continued, “Since Mr. Calsis refuse to spare the Cameron, then you will have to excuse me that I couldn’t do acupuncture for you.” Charlie looked at her in disbelief. He didn’t expect that she should be threatening him!

“Dr. Cameron, it seems that you don’t have an intelligent understanding of you position. Are you suggesting that you’re the only acupuncturist in this world? Let me tell you, others could do what you could.” “Then find someone who could. Mr. Calsis, I could not accept to treat a man who would break my family and make my father end up in hospital.” After saying, she nodded towards Charlie as a farewell, and then turned towards the door. When she reached the door and was to open it, she heard Charlie saying, “Wait.”

Theresa turned her to Charlie.

Charlie said, “I can spare the Cameron.” He was not sure whether a new acupuncturist could be of any help. But at least she could. If she could really make him again on his feet, by then, mercy to the Cameron wouldn’t seem to be so unacceptable. Theresa came back.

“I am more than glad to do acupuncture for you. Please rest assured. I will try my best to restore your health.” As he agreed to spare the Cameron, she was in much better mood. And she could finally speak with ease. Charlie looked at her and continued, “I haven’t finished yet. I have conditions.”

Theresa looked at him in surprise. Charlie said, “Since Sarah has run away, then you will marry me.”

What? Marry him? Is this a joke to ease the tension or something? Theresa looked at Charlie in disbelief.

“But you said yesterday that you have no interest in me. Besides, I’m divorced. I have two kids. Mr. Calsis, it will do you no good.” “I didn’t say that I am interested in you.” Charlie said loftily, “Don’t think too high of yourself.” His eyes showed contempt, which made Theresa want to punch him in the face. Theresa said, “But I don’t want to get married.”

“So, you think I don’t deserve you? Jonathan, go inform the Cameron of my marriage with Dr. Cameron.” He made the decision on the spot. Jonathan persuaded, “Master Calsis, it might be inappropriate. You can find better women. Why do you have to marry her?” “The Cameron owns me!” Seeing that Jonathan and Charlie began weighing and ordering, and had completely ignored her, Theresa felt speechless. She cut in, “I haven’t agreed.”

Charlie looked at her and said, “You want to help your father without any price? There’s no sueh thing. When we find Sarah, we will let you go.” Theresa understood. Charlie was taking her as a hostage. She answered, “I will find Sarah for you. And I don’t think marriage is necessary!” I will keep my promise, okay?

“I don’t trust any Cameron.” Theresa was dumbfounded. He didn’t give her any chance to refuse at all. Theresa looked at the man and said, “If you insist on letting me marry you, then so be it. But don’t regret it.” In fact, Theresa had no worry that Charlie would harın her, or that he would get interested in her. She didn’t have anything that could arouse his interest. And, with his background and arrogance, he wouldn’t develop any interest in her.
