Chapter 187
The Contract Marriage
âI admit it was my fault this time. I promise you that this will never happen again.â Christian knew very well what kind of position Sarah held in Davidâs heart. So he explained patiently.
âIn fact, everyone will promise to do things. Back then, you promised me that you would never let Sarah suffer any grievances. But what about now? Your promise doesnât work at all!â David looked at him in disbelief. Although his tone was very rude, he still picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Christian.
Christian couldnât help but smile when he heard what David said. He felt that David really looked like his Sarahâs Big Brother.
âAlthough I am a few years older than you, no matter what, you are still Sarahâs Big Brother. Actually, I have always been admired you. I admire you for your pure love for Sarah. For the sake of her happiness, you chose to turn around. The reason why I want to drink with you today, itâs because of this.â
âWhat happened before was indeed my fault, because if it wasnât for me, Sarah wouldnât have suffered so much. But this time, I am also very happy. Perhaps you will think that I am a little ruthless. Sarah clearly suffered a grievance, but why am I still happy like this? Actually, the reason is very simple.
Sarah is sad like this because she likes me and cares about me. If she did not react at all, that would be my most failed and painful part. Donât you think so?â
David looked at him indifferently. Although he didnât like to hear what he said, he understood and nodded. He still looked at him and asked slowly, âYou didnât come to find me for dinner just to show off how close you and Sarah are, right?â
âHaha! Do you think Sarah has such bad taste?â Christian couldnât help but laugh when he heard what he said.
David raised his eyebrows unceremoniously. âNot necessarily. Sometimes she is too naive. She will easily believe other peopleâs words. You are a Commander in army, and you have brought over a thousand soldiers with you. No matter what, you have more experience in life than her. I think Regimental Commander Cooper can fool Sarah with just a little bit of thought. Donât you think so?â
âHaha! It seems like you are indeed Sarahâs Mr. David! You are always thinking for her, but I am relieved after hearing that.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI actually came here today to ask you for a favor.â
âSpeak!â David was not a petty person to begin with. Besides, the husband and wife were already fine, so he did not need to be calculative.
âLet me tell you the truth. I will be leaving my original place in two days. The new province is thousands of miles away. Once I leave this time, I will probably be back in half a year.â Christian looked at him and told him the truth.
âYou transferred? You and Sarah just got married. And you are leaving for half a year. Donât you worry?â David frowned. He felt a little depressed when he heard the news.
Although he liked Sarah, he still couldnât help but worry for her when he heard that Christopher was going to another place.
âSarah is the one I canât rest assured about the most when I go out. She is pregnant now and I have to leave. You also know that military orders are as heavy as mountains. My profession is destined. It is my duty to carry out orders.â
âSarah is pregnant?â David frowned again.
âYes! It had been more than a month. Thus, the one I am most worried about this time is her. The reason I came looking for you this time is to hope that after I leave, if Sarah needs any help, please. . .â
Before Christian could finish his words, he was interrupted by David, âSarahâs matter is my matter. You donât need to ask me for this, I will do my best to help. But Regimental Commander Cooper, when will you come back after you leave? Sarah was only twenty-four years old. How do you want her to live her life in the future? You are so assured?â
âYou know my profession. Most of the time, we donât have a choice. Although the place Iâm going to this time is a bit far, itâs not without benefits. If I do well there, Iâll probably be transferred back to this city in a yearâs time. So this time, even if it is for Sarah, I must leave.â
âSarah is now pregnant. Can you come back when she gives birth next year?â
âI canât guarantee that. I can only say that I will try my best to come back.â Christian replied apologetically.
âYou must come back! No matter how strict your discipline is, it is still give birth to a child and you canât even apply for a visiting leave. Unless you donât want to come back!â
When David heard his words, he immediately became anxious. He thought about how Sarah had to face the pain of giving birth at such a young age.
Just thinking about it made him angry.
âI dare not guarantee you 100%, but I will do my best. But if I really canât come back at that time and if Sarah has an emergency, I hope Mr. David will help.â
David looked at him bluntly. âYou donât need to tell me this kind of thing, and I will not sit by and do nothing! Donât worry.â
âThank you.â
âYou clearly know that I like Sarah, yet you came all the way here to after you left for a year?â
âIf I donât believe you, I will definitely not come today.â Christian looked at David and smiled.
David heard what Christian said and shook his head with a smile. âDo you think we would have become best friends without Sarah?â
âOf course! But now, because of Sarah, you are the good Big Brother of Sarah and me.â
This dinner of Christian and David was the happiest time since they knew each other. They drunk together.
Christian treated David as Big Brother and respected him. David told Christian about some of Sarahâs past and the places where she got excited. The two of them raised their glasses and downed the wine in one gulp.
Christianâs alcohol tolerance was not small. David had also practiced drinking well in the past few years after he opened a hotel. Therefore, although the two of them drank quite a bit, they only drank until the end with a hazy drunkenness.
Christian drank in Davidâs hotel until ten oâclock at night. Only then did he sway in the off-road vehicle that Jayson was driving and returned to his mother-in-lawâs home.
When he walked into the living room, he found the mother and for him.
Christian apologized to Samantha and said good night, then went into the bedroom with his wife.
Once he closed the bedroom door, Christian reached out and wrapped lowered his head and kissed her forehead and cherry red lips without saying anything.
âChristian, can you take a bath first?â Sarah smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body and was not used to this kind of smell.
âWife, what did you call me?â He was not a small drinker, so he was only slightly drunk. Hearing his little wife call his name, he slightly raised his head and looked down at her. His large hand gently caressed her white face.
Perhaps it was because he drank, the desire in his body could not help but rollâ¦
âYour alcohol smell is too strong. Go take a shower, okay?â Hearing his words, she slowed down her tone and looked at him as she spoke slowly.
âBut I want you right now, baby. . .â Once he came into contact with her big eyes, he couldnât stand it and lowered his head, blocking all the words she wanted to say. . .
â¦
After the excitement, he took his little wife out of the bathroom and put her on the big bed. He also quickly laid beside his little wife and reached out to hold her in his arms.
âWhy did you drink so much?â Sarah knew he went to find Mr. David, but seeing that his face was red from drinking, she could not help but ask him worriedly, âDid you fight with Mr. David?â
Christian pinched his wifeâs chin and kissed her hard on her lips. Then he looked at her with a smile and said, âSilly girl, do you think your husband is such an impulsive person?â
âArenât you impulsive? If not, why did you marry me?â Sarah smiled and asked him back.
âHaha, this question is good. But wife, didnât you also want this flash marriage? Itâs not my fault.â
âHuh! Donât be shameless. You were the one who dragged me into the Civil Affairs Bureau, but now you donât want to admit it?â
âIs that so? If your husband remembers correctly, I was sitting in a wheelchair at that time. You were the one who pushed me in, right?â Christian asked back with a smile.
Uh. . .
Sarah looked at his angular face and could not help but laugh. âI did not expect you to have such a shameless side!â
Christian laughed. âHaha, this is not shamelessness. People always say to think twice before doing things. Marriage is a big thing in a personâs life. In the future, you will live with your partner for decades, and I had already experienced Vivianâs matter. It is even more impossible for me to be impulsive in marriage.â
âThat day, when I went with you to register, it was not a spur of the moment either. Think about it, youâve liked someone for a long time, and if one day she suddenly agreed to marry you, could you let her miss this opportunity?â
âSo you planned this for a long time!â Hearing his words, a sweet feeling rose in her heart.
Christian looked at his wife and laughed. âNo, itâs my luck!â
âSo you deliberately told me about the three-month agreement? You even said that you donât have that function, and that you canât stand up. Okay. Christian Cooper, you lied to me all on purpose. . .â Sarah said as she punched his chest a few times.
Christian smiled and lowered his head to kiss his wife. âSeeing that your husband likes you so much, forgive him.â
Sarah immediately rolled her eyes at him and thought about what happened between the two of them in the past. She suddenly could not help but laugh. After laughing enough, she looked up at him and asked, âAt that time, I woke up every morning while hugging you. Was it also planned by you?â
In the past, she couldnât understand this matter. She kept feeling that even if she slept, she wouldnât be so dishonest. Now, hearing Christianâs words, she clearly felt that she had fallen into someoneâs trap!
