Chapter 175
The Contract Marriage
âMom, what happened? Why did Sarah faint? Can you tell me whatâs going on?â
When Christian heard that Sarah actually fainted last night, his expression turned gloomy, as he anxiously walked to the dining room with his phone. He signaled Jayson to stop eating and immediately drove back to City S.
Jayson looked at Christianâs expression and understood the matter must be very serious. Without any further delay, he picked up the key and helped Christian lock the door. He brought the car over and drove Christian out of the army.
âHow do I know what happened between you two? I wanted to ask you this. Why did Sarah cry so sadly these two days? When I asked her what exactly happened, she only told me that it is over between you two. My Sarah is young. You are eight years older than her. Canât you calm down when you encounter a problem? What did you promise me when you married Sarah?â
âMom, Iâm sorry! Itâs all my fault. But donât worry, there must be a misunderstanding between Sarah and me!â Christian furrowed his brows and was extremely anxious. However, the person who spoke to him was his mother-in-law. No matter what happened, he had to apologize first.
âI also hope that there is a misunderstanding between the two of you. If there is really something wrong, come back and tell her clearly.â
âMom, Iâll rush back today. Iâve already set off. Can you tell me where Sarah is now? Why canât I get through to her phone?â Christian asked anxiously.
âShe hasnât woken up yet. She broke her phone last night.â Samantha answered as she looked at her daughterâs room. Right after then, she heard a sound coming from inside.
âThen can you let her answer the phone? Let me talk to her first?â When Christian heard that Sarah had broken the phone, he realized that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined. He became nervous again.
Samantha listened to her son-in-law and was silent for a moment. After a while, she nodded. âWait a moment!â
In fact, she had a good impression of Christian. Moreover, their life after marriage had been very good.
Samantha also did not want Sarah and Christian to end just like that.
âOkay!â
Samantha was also angry with Christian, but she also felt that there might be a misunderstanding between the two of them that was not explained clearly.
Putting the earpiece aside, she got up and went to Sarahâs bedroom. When she walked in, she saw Sarah had already woken up and was washing up in the bathroom.
Samantha immediately walked to the bathroom door. She looked at her daughterâs back and said, âSarah, Christian called. Come out and answer it. If thereâs anything, tell him.â
Sarah, who was brushing her teeth, heard it was Christian who called and her body froze. She looked up at her face in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen. When she thought about what had happened in the past two days, her eyes darkened and she replied with a hoarse voice. âI donât want to hear his voice!â
Then she continued to brush her teeth stubbornly.
She originally wanted to say too much, but what happened last night broke all her hopes.
The good things of the past no longer existed between them.
Even if she answered his call, what could she do?
Things had already happened. No matter how much he said, he could not change the fact.
Samantha looked at her daughterâs back and was silent for a while. She was still somewhat unwilling to give up and advised her daughter, âSarah, canât you say a few words to him first? I heard what he said just now. There must be some misunderstanding between the two of you!â
Sarah stopped what she was doing and once again replied coldly, âThere is no misunderstanding between us! Mom, I really donât want to hear what he wants to say now. Please donât make things difficult for me anymore.â
After Sarah finished speaking, she put away her toothbrush and then silently washed her face.
âSigh, alright! Then Iâll go and tell him first.â Samantha looked at her daughterâs stubborn back and sighed heavily. She turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
She walked to the sofa and picked up the earpiece again and put it beside her ear. âChristian, are you still there?â
âMom, I am! Where was Sarah? Why didnât she answer the phone?â Christian was a little disappointed when he heard it wasnât his wifeâs voice.
âShe said she doesnât want to hear your voice now. Let her take her time first.â Samantha felt helpless when her daughter insisted on not answering the phone.
âI know, Mom. If she doesnât want to answer, itâs okay. Donât forget to let her have breakfast this morning. Two days ago, I went to the military for a meeting. I donât know why my phone was turned off.
I just heard from Jayson this morning that Sarah came to the army. Mom, there must be some misunderstanding between Sarah and me. You should talk to her about it later. I think I will be home by noon. Iâll talk to her face to face, okay?â
When he heard that Sarah didnât want to hear his voice, Christian immediately explained to Samantha.
âMm, alright! Then be careful on your way.â
âThank you, Mom.â
âSigh, weâre all family. I donât have any other thoughts. I only hope that you can live a good life with her.
Alright. Enough, Iâm hanging up. â
âGoodbye, Mom!â
Not long after Samantha put down the phone, Sarah walked out of the room. Samantha had already prepared breakfast. When she saw her daughter come out, she immediately called her to eat at the dining table.
Sarah also did not refuse. She did not eat anything last night and her body could not take it anymore.
She quietly walked to the dining table and sat down. She first picked up the porridge on the table and took a sip.
âSarah, donât be sad anymore. Christian will come back this afternoon. He said that he went to the military to have a meeting two days ago. His phone was turned off for some reason. I think there must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. When he comes back, you guys can talk about everything. The misunderstanding will be resolved.â Seeing her daughterâs haggard face, Samanthaâs heart also felt indescribable discomfort.
Sarah silently nodded her head. After a long while, she replied with a hoarse voice. âMom, I understand. Letâs eat. â
Right now, she did not want to hear Christianâs name at all, much less say anything. She didnât even want to think about what she had experienced in the past two days.
To her, that was a form of torture!
Before Gretaâs incident, she had always felt that she only liked Christian. She had a good impression of him, and had even doubted whether her feelings were love or not.
But the moment she saw Gretaâs photo on Christianâs bed, She finally understood how important he was in her heart. If she did not really put him in her heart. . . She wouldnât have collapsed and fallen into despair like this now!
Love had already quietly settled in her heart before she could understand it.
However, she never would have thought that before she could understand, everything would be completely shattered!
That man did not like her at all!
He even said something that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her! In the end, she realized that those were all lies!
She used to think that he and Julian were two completely different types of people, but now, she realized that they were bleeding the same kind of blood! So they were the same kind of people!
Misunderstanding?
Hehe, if there was a misunderstanding between them, then what was Greta doing with him last night?
Why was he calling her so intimately? And what was up with the picture of her lying on his bed that night?
That was not a misunderstanding. That was the truth!
Even if he came back and asked her to meet him face to face, what could he do?
If she heard and saw, wouldnât she wipe them out one stroke at a time?
Of course not!
Sarah did not speak much from the beginning until the end of the breakfast. Her heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on it, and she was so stifled that she could not catch her breath. If it was not for the child in her womb, even this breakfast. . . She didnât have the mood to eat anymore.
Samantha knew that her daughter was in a bad mood and did not say anything else.
After breakfast, Samantha saw Sarahâs haggard look and advised her not to go to the company to work for the time being. But Sarah still stubbornly left home and drove to the company.
The current her did not want to think about anything. She just wanted to work properly and forget everything!
If she were to stay at home alone, she might break down.
The car slowly drove out of the neighborhood and headed towards the Wilson Group. Sarah looked at the road in front of her with an indifferent expression. Her eyes were clearly staring at the road in front of her, but in her heart. . . She flew away with him.
Because she was distracted, there were a few times on the way when she almost ran into the red light.
Fortunately, she was still thinking about the child in her womb. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could not joke around with her child!
Child?
Sarah remembered that she had previously thought that the child in her womb was the crystallization of her and Christianâs love.
Love?
Now that she thought about it, it was simply ridiculous!
But no matter how she and Christian broke up in the future, the child was a difficult problem that she had to face.
Since everything between her and Christian had ended, why would she keep the child?
Kill the child?
The moment this thought popped up, Sarah was shocked. She shook her head with all her might and immediately made herself give up on this idea.
No matter what happened between her and Christian, no matter what their future was, she would not joke about children. Because this child was not only Christianâs, but also hers!
The car finally drove slowly to the square in front of Wilson Group. Sarah parked the car in the square.
When she thought about what had happened in the past two days, she started to get distracted again in the car.
Bang, bang, bang!
There was a knocking sound on the window. Sarah turned her head to look and found that it was David. She immediately stopped thinking, picked up the bag, opened the car door, and got out of the car. She closed the car with a bang.
âMr. David, Good morning.â Sarah knew that besides her mother, the person who cared about her the most was David. She didnât want him to worry about her. So when she opened the car door, she looked at David in front of her and forced a smile.
But she wasnât the kind of girl who was good at disguising herself. Sarah originally wanted to smile at him, but the corners of her mouth moved for a long time. That smile was still very stiff.
David looked at Sarah in front of him and frowned. He stood still and looked at her without moving.
âWhat happened?â They had not seen each other for two days. The cute and pretty girl he liked had completely changed. Her eyes were extremely red and swollen. Although she had only said a few words to him, her voice sounded like she had cried before. Although she was trying her best to hide the pain in her heart and forced out a smile to show him, but that smile was especially dazzling in his eyes.
