This time, she needed to nip the problem in the bud. If she didn't take action now, Emma would think her easily bullied!
But Emma wasn't willing to give up just yet. Having lost to Sarah with her cooking skills, she came up with many different topics to talk about with Charles. They had always had a good relationship and had many common issues to talk endlessly, and anyone besides them seemed to be invisible to them.

At that time, Sarah had thought that she lacked communication skills and thus was neglected and had even felt sad about it. But now, when she recalled it, she understood that it wasn't her fault.
