Chapter 102 Sarah After Drinking
It was 10 o'clock at night.
Sarah and her employees dispersed.
Since Sarah and Ryder had both had some drinks, driving was out of the question. They hailed a taxi and headed home.
Sarah had an average tolerance for alcohol and was already a little tipsy, stumbling as she walked. Ryder initially wanted to help her upstairs, but he was refused.
In the end, she managed to climb the stairs with the support of the railing. Ryder followed closely behind, afraid she might accidentally fall. They finally reached the top of the stairs.
Sarah opened the door and turned on the lights. Ryder noticed that there was no one in the living room, even though Sarah's parents would usually be watching TV at this time of night. Where could they have gone so late at night?
"I'm going to the bathroom! Don't follow me!" Sarah said before heading to the bathroom.
Ryder smiled helplessly and thought, "I'm not a pervert. Why would I follow you into the bathroom?"
He plopped down on the couch and poured himself a glass of water. Suddenly, his sharp eyes saw a piece of paper on the coffee table.
On the paper, two sentences were written by Karen to Sarah. "Six months ago, when your dad and I were climbing Titanosaurus Mount, we encountered an astrologer. We made a wish to get rich this year, and it really came true. I'm going with your dad to fulfill our vow and will be back the day after tomorrow. Take care of yourself at home. By the way, you should divorce that bastard. He is just a leech. If we don't have the heart to divorce now, it will be difficult for you in the future when you're trying to advance in your career!"
Ryder ignored the second sentence. He didn't want to comment on his mother-in-law's character. The most important thing was the first sentence. They both went to fulfill their vow, and they would be back the day after tomorrow. Did that mean that for the next two days, it would just be him and Sarah at home?
What a rare opportunity!
Especially since Sarah is drunk tonight...
After all, Ryder is a man, and it's inevitable that he will have some unhealthy thoughts.
Suddenly, Sarah appeared behind him and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Ah? N-nothing!" Ryder quickly responded.
Sarah frowned but didn't question him again.
"Bring me a basin of water for foot soaking."
"Alright!" Ryder answered. He then went to the bathroom to get a foot basin and filled it with warm water before hurrying to Sarah's bedroom.
At that moment, she was sitting on the bed, taking off her black stockings.
Seeing this, Ryder's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the water!" Sarah demanded.
"Oh!" Ryder placed the foot basin down. "Should I test the water temperature?"
Sarah dipped her feet into the basin and let out a relaxed hum in response to the warm water. "So comfortable."
Ryder began washing her feet.
Sarah suddenly asked, "Does your cheek still hurt from the slap last night?"
Instinctively, Ryder touched his right cheek and replied, "It's... it's fine! It doesn't hurt!"
But Sarah's words warmed his heart.
He thought she must have regretted slapping him and felt sorry!
Unexpectedly, Sarah pursed her lips and said coldly, "Since it doesn't hurt, I should have slapped you even harder!"
"Huh?" Ryder felt confused. "Why? You already dealt with Arturo, and I had my reasons..."
"That matter, I know. It's not your fault. But I'm talking about something else. Do you know what you did wrong?"
"What did I do?"
Sarah pouted, her face showing a look of grievance. "I simply asked if you did something wrong!"
Seeing her expression, Ryder didn't dare hesitate and nodded repeatedly. "I was wrong! I really was!"
"Where did you go wrong? Hmph! You don't even know where you went wrong, yet you admit it!"
Ryder felt embarrassed. "Can you give me a hint?"
Sarah bent slightly, her gaze becoming somewhat hazy due to alcohol, and questioned him, "Who was the woman you went to the Polka Bar with last night? Why didn't you return all night?"
Ryder's mind went blank for a few moments!
How did she know he went to the Polka Bar with Lily?
Did she follow him?
No wonder she had been indifferent to him throughout the day; it was because of this!
Before he could explain, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Sarah suddenly pouted and threw her black stockings at him. Tears were streaming down her face. "Ryder! You're a scumbag! You must have gone to a hotel with that girl after drinking! I knew it, you bastard. I thought you were decent, but I didn't expect you to be like that jerk Henry!"
Ryder removed the scented black stockings from his face.
He stood there for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Because this was the first time in three years of marriage that Sarah faced him in such a state.
Perhaps it had to do with drinking too much, or maybe it was the recent stress and pent-up emotions.
Either way, Ryder knew that these were her true inner thoughts.
She was highly sensitive and resistant in matters of emotions, especially after being deceived by Henry and Elena.
He just had a drink with Lily, and in her eyes, he had already cheated!
"You don't even have the courage to explain. You must be guilty!"
"I'll explain!"
Ryder was about to speak, but Sarah suddenly covered her ears with both hands and shook her head. "I won't listen! I won't listen..."
"Alright, alright! I won't explain then. Don't be angry!"
Sarah choked out again. "Huh! You scumbag, you're not even explaining!"
Ryder nearly spat out blood!
But no matter what, Sarah was his wife.
If he didn't dote on her, then who would he dote on?
He said patiently, "Please believe me. I have never done anything to hurt you!"
Sarah didn't believe him. "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"
Ryder took a deep breath and clenched his teeth. "Honey, I'll be honest with you. I've been a virgin for over twenty years since birth. If I did something to hurt you last night, I swear to stay a virgin for the rest of my life!"
"Really?" Sarah pouted and asked cautiously.
Ryder nodded earnestly.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Sarah went from sobbing to laughter and said coquettishly, "Hmph! I knew you wouldn't dare to fool around. After all, I'm the one who spent money to marry you. If you dare to do something that hurts me, I'll cut off your genitals with a pair of scissors!"
Ryder felt a chill down his spine.
"Alright, I'm done washing my feet. Did you pour out the foot bath water? By the way, make sure you scrub the stockings clean! Remember, use your hands to rub them."
"I got it!" Ryder hurriedly responded.
Even if he accidentally tore them, it wouldn't be a big deal to compensate with ten pairs.
Just as Ryder was carrying the foot basin to the door, Sarah suddenly called out to him.
A blush appeared on her face as she asked, "Do you remember the promise I made to you three nights ago?"
