Chapter 186
The Contract Marriage
Time slipped by a little bit.
Christian chatted with his family for a while. Seeing that it was about time, he greeted his family. He also said that he wouldnât be back for dinner tonight. Then, he left Villa of Cooper Family in his off-road vehicle.
After Christian left, Vivian wanted to say something to Lucas. However, as soon as she reached the middle of the second and third floor, she heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
Vivian looked down and saw Daphne had followed. She looked at mother-in-lawâs figure and smiled.
She lifted her foot and entered her bedroom without looking back.
The moment Vivian entered the room, she kicked off her shoes and directly sat on the bed. Just as she leaned against the headboard and sat down, she saw Daphne walk in with a smile and casually closed the door.
âMom, what is the matter?â Vivian looked at her mother-in-law and asked.
âAh, Mom is fine. I just want to ask about what you just said.â
âWhat is it?â
âWhen you came back just now, didnât you say that you saw a person who knew how to read faces?
She said that you are definitely carrying a son?â Although Vivian was just casually saying it downstairs, Daphne remembered it in her heart.
âYes! She said that I am definitely carrying a son.â Vivian could not help but laugh as she spoke.
âI donât know how to read it either. But Vivian, I know the doctors in Municipal Hospital. After a while, she should be able to tell the gender. When the time comes, I will arrange the people inside and letâs go for an examination. How is it?â
What Daphne wanted the most was actually a grandson.
âMom, those people were just talking. What they said might not be accurate.â Seeing mother-in-law so concerned, Vivianâs vanity was once again greatly satisfied.
âWhat they say will definitely be accurate. Some people just look at this specially. You also think about it. Sarah is also pregnant this time. If you give birth to a daughter, and she gives birth to a son, at that time, the Cooper Group will definitely fall into Sarahâs hands. So this time, you must fight for your motherâs dignity, understand?â
Although Christian was the biological son of her husband, Daphne didnât have any affection for Christian at all.
To her, her son, Julianâs child, was her true grandson.
As for the child Sarah gave birth to. . . No matter if it was a man or a woman, they were both born to fight over the property of the Cooper Family. So this time, for her, the one her daughter-in-law was carrying must be a grandson.
Vivian heard Daphneâs words and could not help but smile again, âMom, he is already in my stomach now. I cannot decide if he is a male or a female. When you say this, I feel a lot of pressure.â
Daphne looked at Vivian reproachfully. âWhat pressure is there? Let me tell you, Vivian. You have to give birth to a boy this time.â
Vivian smiled and nodded, âMom, I know. Donât worry.â Seeing Daphne so eager to have a grandson, Vivian also looked forward to the child in her womb.
Daphne left very quickly and Vivian watched Daphne leave with her large eyes turning cold.
Son! She must have a son!
Only then could she take all the properties of Cooper Family in her hands!
When her son grew up, she would announce his background. . .
But after experiencing the miscarriage last time, she did not dare to go to the hospital for a check-up again. But thinking about the gender, it was better to confirm it earlier.
If she knew whether it was a daughter or a son in her womb. . . She could also prepare earlier.
Thinking of this, Vivian quickly got out of bed. She walked to the door, opened the door, and poked her head out to see that there was no one in the corridor. Then, she locked the door behind her.
She walked back to her bed and dialed Lucasâs number.
âMy dear, you are about to become a Half Fairy!â Lucas couldnât help but feel happy when he saw that it was Vivian.
âWhat do you mean?â Vivian asked and smiled.
âThe creditor who owed me the last time called me again. He said that if I donât pay off the money I owe him at noon tomorrow, he will find someone to teach me a lesson. Dear, you have to help me think of a way this time!â Lucas said anxiously.
Vivian frowned and immediately asked back anxiously, âHow much is it this time?â
âFive hundred thousand!â
âWhy is it so much? Wasnât it still three hundred thousand last time?â Vivian asked in a depressed tone.
âDidnât another month have passed? They said that the interest of 300,000 yuan per month was 100,000 yuan!â
âEven if itâs 100,000, itâs still 400,000 yuan! Why do you want 500,000 yuan from me?â
âVivian, look at me. Iâm only delivering goods to other people every day. I canât make much money. I was thinking about how you would get the money from Julian this time. Iâll take the extra 100,000 to do a small business. This way, I can guarantee my future life. Donât you think so?â
Vivian agreed and nodded her head. âYes, if you really think that way, thatâs not bad! But what kind of business do you want to do?â
With her pregnancy now, it was definitely not a problem to ask Julian for five hundred thousand yuan, but she was still worried that Lucas would take the money to do some wrong thing.
âI think even if I were to do business, the one who would come up with ideas would be you. You are the Lady Boss! How about this? You take the money from Julian first. Help me think about doing business.
This way, we will have a way out in the future, right?â
âSure! Then wait for my news.â
âOkay, my dear.â
â¦
After Christian left his villa, he returned to his mother-in-lawâs house first.
When he walked into the living room, he saw that Sarah had already woken up. She was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Samantha. He immediately walked over with a smile and sat beside his wife.
âDid you sleep well?â Christian did not mind his mother-in-law sitting opposite him. He smiled and held his wifeâs hand in his palm.
âYes, itâs good. I found out that Iâm getting more and more fond of sleeping recently.â Sarah saw him leaning against him with a coquettish smile.
âThat must be because my son wants to sleep.â Christian smiled and gently scratched her little nose.
Sarah giggled when she heard him.
Samantha sat opposite of the two and looked at their intimate actions. Her heart was filled with indescribable joy. She looked at her son-in-law opposite and asked, âChristian, you just went back to the villa, right?â
âYes, Mom. I went back to take a look. Everything is pretty good in the house.â
âI havenât been home for a few days. Why didnât you take me with you when you went back?â
No matter what, Cooper Family was her mother-in-lawâs home. Sarah felt a little embarrassed when she heard Christian say that he went home.
âItâs fine. I will bring you back to take a look tomorrow.â Christian looked at his wife and smiled.
âChristian, how is your father? He should have recovered pretty well, right?â Every time her daughter returned home, Samantha would ask about Ethanâs health. She knew that Christian had just returned, so she could ask him about it.
âEn, my fatherâs health is much better now. Now I think he is basically like a normal person.â
âThatâs good.â
Christian sat on the sofa with his wife and mother-in-law for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, he told Samantha that he would not be coming back for dinner tonight.
Sarah knew that he was going to see David, so she did not stop him. When she sent him to the door of the living room, she walked out and looked at him.
âDonât get too excited when talking to him. Donât drink too much wine. Do you understand?â
Christian looked at the living room. He did not see Samantha. He then reached out and wrapped his arms around his wifeâs waist. He lowered his head and kissed her cherry red lips. He lowered his voice and asked her with a smile, âBaby, are you worried about your husband or about your Mr. David?â
Sarah looked at him reproachfully and deliberately teased him with a smile. âI am not worried about you. I am worried about my babyâs father!â
Christian could not help but laugh. He lowered his head and kissed his wife again. Only then did he look at her and promise, âDonât worry. You babyâs father knew what to do. Letâs go.â
After saying that, he let go of his wifeâs waist, turned around, and quickly went downstairs.
Sarah watched his figure disappear in the corridor before turning around and returning to the living room.
When Christianâs car stopped in front of Savid Tower, it was almost six oâclock.
When Christian got off the car, he saw the BMW X5 parked not far away and subconsciously looked up in the direction of Davidâs office. He saw David standing by the window of the private room next to him.
David raised his arm and waved at him. When their eyes met, Christian looked at David and smiled. He lifted his foot and walked into Savid Tower.
This was not the first time the two men met. When Christian walked into the private room, he saw David waiting for him at the door.
âIâm not late, am I?â Christian looked at David and smiled. They walked to the dining table and sat down.
âI also came back not long ago!â David originally had a stomach full of resentment towards Christian, but after he received Sarahâs call and knowing that there was only a misunderstanding between them, his heart also relaxed.
Actually, when he decided to turn around, he never thought of interrupting their marriage again. But he never would have thought. . . Sarah would be hurt by Christian to such an extent.
The moment he saw Sarah in pain, his heart once again ached for her.
The two of them sat opposite each other, and it was David who spoke first. âTell me what happened between the two of you!â
Although he was not in the place to interfere, since it involved Sarahâs happiness, he had to interfere.
Christian heard his words and smiled. âIt was actually a misunderstanding. There is no reason for husband and wife not to fight, right?â
âEven if itâs a fight, there has to be a limit. Other families finished quarreling at noon and it would be settled at night, but Sarah cried for two days for you! Christian Cooper, look at how she looked when you came back.â
When Sarahâs matter was mentioned, David could not help but want to get angry.
