Chapter 164
The Contract Marriage
Sarah smiled and nodded. âYes!â
âThatâs very good! It seems that I really will be grandpa this time!â Ethan said and looked at his wife Daphne. âIn the future, you have to be careful to strengthen Sarahâs nutrition. At this time, it is the most important to the child.â
Daphne felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this news yesterday. Although Christian was her husbandâs biological son, he was not related to her by blood at all. When she heard her husbandâs words, she nodded with a calm expression. âThere is a specialized chef at home. He would change his appearance every day. It would not be a loss for her.â
Sarah felt a little cold when she heard mother-in-lawâs words and understood that mother-in-law did not really like her. She only smiled slightly and did not say anything.
Benjamin was also very happy. He looked at Sarah and asked, âSarah, are you still going to work in the future?â
âYes, grandpa. Donât worry, I will be careful. â
Daphne heard Benjaminâs words and immediately said disapprovingly, âDad, donât worry about it.
Women are pregnant for ten months and it is not a big deal. Many people not only work as usual, but also do housework. Some of them even drive to the hospital on the day of birth. â
âWe donât care what other people do. Anyway, this child needs to be careful. Wasnât Vivian a living example last time?â Ethan was a little uncomfortable listening to his wifeâs words and immediately retorted.
Daphne was rendered speechless by the rebuttal and looked at Sarah and did not speak anymore.
Today Vivian and Julian did not know what happened and only came back at dinner time. Seeing that her son had returned, Daphne immediately perked up and called her son and daughter-in-law to sit at the dining table.
Julian and Vivian looked very happy today and from the moment they entered the living room, their faces were filled with smiles. Daphne looked at her son and was somewhat puzzled.
âJulian, did you sign a big contract today? Why are you so happy?â
The others also looked at the two of them.
Julian looked at his mother first and smiled. Then he looked at everyone and said, âDad, Mom, grandpa. I have to tell you something big today!â
âHurry up and tell Mom. What is it?â Daphne immediately perked up when she heard her sonâs words.
Julian looked at Vivian and then smiled as he replied, âVivian is pregnant! It has been more than a month!â
When Daphne heard this, she immediately smiled and could not disbelief and asked again, âVivian, is it true? You are really pregnant?â
Vivian immediately nodded her head. âYes, Mom! These two days, I felt a little uncomfortable. Today, I specially went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that I am pregnant again.â
âThatâs great! Iâm going to be a grandma soon! Aiyo, this is really a big deal!â Daphne heard that. Her eyes immediately turned into slits when she heard this. Her attitude towards Vivian also instantly changed 180 degrees, âVivian. Donât eat that cold dish for now. Itâs not good for the baby! From tomorrow onwards, I will let the chef help you recover your health. After the miscarriage last time, I have been worrying about your health. This year, I will really have a grandson. Oh my, thatâs great!â
Sarah looked at Daphneâs face and a sour feeling arose in her heart. She thought that she was also pregnant but Daphneâs attitude towards the two of them was as different as heaven and earth and she could not help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
When Ethan heard this news, he was also indescribably happy. He looked at his son and daughter-in-
law and smiled and nodded, âThatâs right! Yesterday, your sister-in-law also went to the hospital to find out that she is pregnant. I didnât expect that Vivian would also be pregnant today. Our family has a double happiness!â
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Julian and Vivian looked at Sarah in shock at the same time.
âSister-in-law, you are also pregnant?â
When Vivian heard this news, she was somewhat depressed, but she still did not show anything on her face.
Sarah nodded her head. âYes. . . â
When Julian heard Vivianâs words, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, but he still smiled and said, âThatâs great! Sister-in-law and Vivian are pregnant at the same time. I wonder if the child will be born on the same day when it is time to give birth?â
When Daphne heard her sonâs words, she immediately reproached. âI think it is better not to be born on the same day! If that really is the case, then I will be so busy that I will die!â
âThere are maids at home. When the time comes, Iâll definitely hire two Maternity Matron. Youâre just helping to take a look at the child at the side. How busy can you be? Furthermore, Sarah and Vivianâs mother will not sit idly by.â When Ethan heard his wifeâs words, he immediately retorted.
Daphne raised her eyebrows and knew that her husband was biased towards Sarah and immediately nodded, âEn, you are right!â
After the last time Ethan fell ill and Vivian had a miscarriage, this was the happiest dinner the people of Cooper Family had ever had. Sarah had been quietly eating dinner. She looked at her family members with a happy smile on their faces. Then she thought that Christian wasnât by her side and couldnât help but feel a little disappointed. Not long after dinner, she returned to her room. She enjoyed this joy and happiness alone.
Vivianâs appetite was always bad during dinner, so she did not eat much. Daphne looked at her daughter-in-law and immediately ordered the chef at home to make some appetizers and made some porridge. When the chef was done, Daphne personally sent it to her bedroom.
When she carried the tray in Julian was in the study room. Only Vivian was sitting alone on the sofa.
Daphne immediately walked over with a smile and carefully set up the dishes and porridge. Only said with a sigh, âVivian, I really did not think that you would get pregnant this year. This is really great! Mom is really happy tonight.â
Vivian also smiled when she heard Daphne words, âMom, I also did not think of it. Originally I thought that my body would definitely not be able to do it. But I did not think that after I would go and check today, I would find that I am pregnant.â
She had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach these few days, and she had no appetite for food.
Thinking that her menstruation had not come during this period of time, she wondered if she was pregnant.
For safetyâs sake, before she went to the hospital with Julian, she first went to another hospital for a check-up and found out that she was really pregnant. Furthermore, the development of the fetus was very normal. Only then did she tell him that Julian was very likely to be pregnant.
Once Julian heard that, he immediately took her to the hospital for an examination.
âVivian, Momâs attitude towards you before was a little bad. It was all because the matter of your miscarriage last time was too much of a blow to me. You understand it. Donât lower yourself to Momâs level, okay?â
âMom, I understand! You always wanted to have a grandson. Actually, I was even more anxious than you. Fortunately, my stomach was good. Now, I am pregnant again. We can consider what happened in the past to be in the past. Letâs not talk about it anymore.â
Vivian was a smart person. Seeing the change in she had once again captured mother-in-lawâs heart.
She immediately tried to get close to Daphne.
âEn, un, letâs not talk about it. This time, we have to be careful. We must not let something like that happen again. In the future, no matter what we do, we have to be careful. I donât want any accidents to happen again. Do you know?â Because of the previous accident, Daphne had some lingering fear.
âMom, I will definitely be careful this time. It is just that I did not expect sister-in-law to be pregnant too.
This is really a double happiness to our family!â Sarah was pregnant at the same time as her. This was something that she did not expect.
âYes! So this time you have to be even more careful. If she has a child, itâs alright to have a daughter, but if she has a son. . . That would also be a matter of competing for family property. So this time, you must not be careless no matter what.â Daphne was speechless when she heard about Sarahâs pregnancy yesterday. Fortunately, Vivian also found out that she was pregnant today, which made her heart feel much better in an instant.
Vivian nodded her head. âMom, I know.â
Ever since Sarah told her in the army that she and Christian only had an agreement, when the three months were up, the marriage between her and Christian would end and they would go their separate ways, it was the motivation for Greta to work and live for a long time. She even calculated the date of the agreement between Sarah and Christian.
Three months, for others, it might be something that happened in the blink of an eye, but for her. . . It was an indescribable torment. Just as she was about to persist for three months with great difficulty, she suddenly heard that Christianâs father was seriously ill. Afraid that she would cause trouble for Christian at this time, she buried her feelings deeply. She had been silently waiting for the day Christianâs father recovered.
Although she did not spend much time with Sarah, she always believed in her judgment. Sarah would never lie to her!
But after two months, she still did not receive any news of Sarah and Christianâs divorce. Such a long wait made her suffer both physically and mentally, and she could not wait any longer. She directly went to Christianâs home.
When she knocked on the door and walked in, Christian was busy preparing dinner at home. When he saw Greta walking in with fruit, he invited her to sit on the sofa.
âWhy did you come to find me at this time of the day? Is something the matter?â Christian poured a glass of water for her and sat down opposite to Greta.
âI really canât find a place to eat tonight, so I came here to freeload. Military Commander Cooper wonât be so petty as to chase me away, right?â Christian had gotten a commission from commander not long ago. Adding on his recovery of both legs, every time Greta saw him, her love for him would increase.
Christian heard her words and smiled. âSince you are here, letâs eat together. Sit down first. Iâll go stir-
fry another dish.â
After saying that, he got up and went into the kitchen.
Greta looked at his back and got up to follow him into the kitchen. She stood at the door and looked at him.
Christian looked at her thoughtfully and asked her with a smile as he cut the vegetables. âYouâre not just here to freeload, are you?â
Greta did not hide her feelings. She looked at him and answered directly. âI miss you, so I came to see you!â
âWe are just comrades. It is better for you not to think about me casually. I am a person who has a wife.
It is very easy for people to misunderstand you like this!â Christian stopped what he was doing and looked at her. He slightly pulled back his expression.
âMisunderstanding is a misunderstanding! What other people think is someone elseâs business, it has nothing to do with me! I just want to know how youâre doing with her?â Greta never liked to hide her feelings and was never afraid of what others would say to her.
