Chapter 178
The Contract Marriage
Sarah shook her head sadly. âMr. David, there are some things that I canât change even if I tell you. I only hope to end it with him as soon as possible.â
âOkay! Since that is the case, I will tell you now. If you really end things with him, I will still wait for you.â
âMr. David. . .â Sarah did not expect David to say such words to her. She looked at David in front of her and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
David looked at her and smiled. He suddenly reached out and held her in his arms. âSarah, I said that no matter when, as long as you turn around, I will wait for you.â
Listening to his warm words, the grievance in Sarahâs heart surged up to her heart and tears also flowed out.
At this moment, a military-green off-road vehicle parked on the road beside the two of them. The car door opened with a swoosh and a tall person quickly got out of the car. He stepped beside them in a few steps.
âLet her go!â Christianâs familiar voice sounded.
As soon as she heard the voice, Sarah struggled out of Davidâs arms in shock. She looked at the man in front of her and froze on the spot.
He is back!
He is finally back!
Is it time to end everything?
David saw Christian in front of him and his anger rushed to his head. He reached out and pulled Sarah to his back. He stared at Christian, who was in front of him, angrily. âChristian, I let go last time. This time, I will never let go again!â
âMr. David. . .â Sarah did not expect David to be so agitated. She wanted to walk out, but David stopped her.
âSarah, didnât you say that you have finished with this person? Donât worry. As long as I am here, no one will hurt you again!â
Christian looked at Sarah behind David and was a little anxious. He wanted to drag her away, but seeing Davidâs angry face and hearing what he said, he was also a little angry. âWhat does Mr. Brown mean by this? Sarah is my wife. How could I hurt her?â
âHumph! If you didnât hurt her, would she be so sad? What was the state she was in when she decided to be with you? Look at her now! Christian, if this is the happiness you gave her, then youâd better let her go! Return Sarah her freedom, and also return her some happiness!â
âReturn her happiness? Heh, David Brown, regardless of whether she is happy or not, this seems to be a matter between us husband and wife. There is some misunderstanding between Sarah and me. Can you not interfere for the time being?â Christian frowned and said.
He then looked at Sarah, who was blocked by David, and called out in pain, âSarah. . .â
The two of them had only been separated for a few days, but his cute and gentle little wife had completely changed into a different person. At this moment, her face was indescribably haggard, and her large eyes were red and terribly swollen.
What exactly happened in these two days that made her become like this?
âMr. David, you should let me talk to him alone.â Sarah called softly and helplessly.
David frowned. âTalk about what? Talk about how he hurt you?â
âMr. Brown, can you calm down a little? I know you have a me!â Christian looked at David gloomily.
âWhen you decided to be together, Christian Cooper, what did you promise me? You said you would definitely give her happiness in the future, but did you do it? Look at what she has become now.â After David saw Sarah in the morning, he had been very irritated the entire morning. Now that he saw Christian, all his anger had been vented out.
âIt seems like you donât want to let go?â Christian looked at David in front of him and frowned slightly.
âYes! If it wasnât for you, I would never let go! Donât think that you can because she marries you! Sarah, letâs go!â After saying that, David grabbed Sarahâs hand and was about to leave.
âDavid Brown!â Christianâs patience had reached its limit. Looking at his little wife in front of him, his heart was filled with indescribable pain and anxiety. He wanted to drag her over and ask her everything in the next second, but seeing Davidâs persistent look, he had to solve this problem first.
David heard his shout and sneered. âWhat? Is Regimental Commander Cooper going to get angry?â
âIf you insist on taking her away, donât blame me for being impolite!â Christian looked at him angrily.
âHehe, is that so? Then you can try! I would like to see how powerful Regimental Commander Cooper is!â David listened to him and looked at him without any politeness.
Sarah listened to their conversation and looked at their tense expressions. She threw Davidâs big hand away and took a few steps back to look at David.
âMr. David, let us settle the matter between us. There are some things, we will have to make things clear sooner or later. Please help me take a leave of absence from the CEO.â After saying that, she turned around and walked along the sidewalk without looking back.
âSarah!â David looked at her stubborn back and called her unwillingly. Seeing that she did not have any reaction, he clenched his big hand tightly.
Christianâs eyes darkened. He looked at his wifeâs back and quickly chased after her.
Sarah kept walking forward and footsteps kept coming from behind. Even after knowing that he was behind her, she did not have any intention of stopping.
âSarah!â After the two of them walked for about a dozen meters, Christian grabbed her arm.
Sarahâs body froze and her footsteps instantly stopped on the spot. Raising her head to look at the road in front of her, everything that she had experienced in the past two days surged into her heart again. She held back the tears in her eyes and looked at the distant sky.
âWhen do you plan to go with me to settle the divorce procedures?â
Christian frowned slightly when he heard her words, but he also understood that there must be a misunderstanding between the two of them. He reached out and pulled her body over. When he saw that there were tears flowing down her face, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. âSilly girl, why did you suddenly say such things to me? What happened?â
After waiting for two days, she finally saw that familiar face of his and heard him call him so intimately.
The grievances in her heart immediately surged up and her tears rolled down uncontrollably. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
âWhat happened? Shouldnât I be asking you this? Christian Cooper, since you like Greta so break the agreement with me when the three months were up?â
âGreta? What happened to her? Is the matter between us related to her? When did I say that I like her?â Christian was confused by her words. He held her arm tightly and asked.
âChristian, can you not pretend in front of me? Since you are a soldier, he said, looking at his expression again, she couldnât help but shout at him while crying.
Christian looked at her excited expression and sighed slightly. He knew this was not the place to talk.
He looked at her and said slowly, âSarah, I went to the military for a meeting two days ago. All the phones were turned off. When I got my phone, I realized that the phone was out of battery. When I called you later, I found that your phone was turned off as well. I still donât know why you have become like this. Even if you want to sentence me to death, shouldnât you give me a chance to appeal before that?â
Sarahâs heart softened when she heard his words, but her eyes. âOkay. Then say it. I will listen.â
âThen come back to the apartment with me. Weâll talk after we sit down. Youâre pregnant child, just listen to me once, okay?â He slowed down his voice and said.
âOkay.â He was right. Even if the two of them really had Hearing that she had agreed to his request, Christian felt slightly relieved in his heart. He held her hand and led her to the car.
Jayson had already quickly opened the car door. Christian let Sarah sit in, then he turned around and sat beside her. Jayson quickly started the car and drove the two of them to Christianâs apartment.
Once Christian sat in the car, he grabbed Sarahâs hand without saying anything. Sarah struggled for a while, but he did not show any intention of letting go. She turned his head and looked out the window, letting him hold her hand.
Christian put his wifeâs hand in his palm and gently rubbed it. He looked at her side profile.
Christian recalled the attitude and words she had said to him when he first saw her. He remembered the countless missed calls on his phone. He also remembered the words Jayson said that Sarah had gone to the army to look for him. He felt an unspeakable guilt towards her.
Something big must have happened to make her completely disappointed in him!
But what was the reason?
Why did she say that he liked Greta?
Even if Greta stayed at his house that night, nothing happened, right?
Along the way, Christian could not figure it out.
But he knew that no matter how many problems there were, he had to return home first.
The car drove all the way back to the apartment and stopped in front of Christianâs apartment. Sarah opened the car door herself and got out of the car. She walked towards the door of the unit. Christian immediately followed her.
The two of them took the elevator to the floor where Christian lived. Christian opened the door. Sarah walked in first.
Sarah walked to the middle of the living room and turned around to see that Christian had already closed the door. She then looked at him and said coldly, âAlright, now you can tell me about you and Greta.â
Christian looked at her silently and grabbed her hand without saying anything. He took her to the stairs.
âBefore talking about the matter between Greta and me, I have to show you something first!â
âWhat is more important than Greta? Oh yes, you also have a child with her, right? Whatâs more important than them?â Sarah did not move and looked at him and asked coldly.
Hearing her words, Christian frowned but did not let go of her hand.
âYou will know when you see it. Letâs go.â He brought her up to the second floor after saying that.
In the past when Christianâs legs were not good, Sarah had come up to the second floor. At that time, she was even caught by him. After that, she never came again.
Following him, she walked up again. Christian brought her directly to the locked door of the room. He took out the key and opened the door. He then brought her in.
