Chapter 224
The Contract Marriage
Julian went to the hospital to check his eyes, so he didnât go to the company for the whole day. When Ethan returned home after work, he saw his son sitting on the sofa and watching TV. He walked over with a slight frown on his face.
âDad, you are back? Is there anything wrong with the company today?â Julian saw that his father was back and immediately straightened his posture. He looked at his father and asked.
âWhat happened to you today? Why didnât you go to the company?â
Daphne heard her husbandâs words and immediately came out to mediate for her son. âDidnât I say it at dinner yesterday? Iâll take him to see his eyes today.â
âHowâs it going?â
âItâs alright. Itâs not a big problem.â
Ethan immediately looked at Julian when he heard that. âSince itâs not a big problem, why didnât you go to the company in the afternoon? Do you think youâre like the other employees in the company? â
âAiya, you tell me, itâs not good for his eyes to work for day and night. Do you want to tire your son to death?â Daphne immediately defended her sonâs injustice.
âDad, I just want to rest for a while. My eyes canât see clearly from the documents. What if I am mistaken?â Julian explained helplessly.
âAre your eyes really fine?â Ethan stared at his sonâs eyes.
Daphne immediately answered for her son with heartache, âThe doctor said that it might be because he was too tired recently. He did not see anything even after taking rest. Doctor prescribed some medicine. My son is already so tired. Donât rush him like this.â
Ethan listened to his wife and did not say anything else. He took out a company document from his file bag and placed it in front of his son. âTake a good look at this document tonight. Give me a proposal tomorrow.â
Julian immediately took it and looked at it. âOkay.â
âOh, although there is nothing wrong with my sonâs eyes, canât you let him rest for a while?â Daphne looked at the thick document and was a little worried about Julianâs eyes.
Julian smiled. âMom, donât worry too much. I will be fine. . . â
âThen you also have to take care to rest.â
âYes, I will.â
Not long after dinner, Julian and Vivian returned upstairs. Julian took the documents into his study room. After reading for a while, he felt tired in his eyes. He pinched between his eyebrows and rubbed his eyes for a while. He couldnât hold on any longer, so he took the document and went into the bedroom. He sat down at the head of the bed. He leaned against the head of the bed and handed the document to Vivian, who was at the side.
âMy eyes will shed tears after reading it for a long time. Help me read it once.â
Vivian sat on the bed and did not have anything to do. She looked at the documents handed over by Julian. She reached out and took it. She turned her head to look at Julian who had closed his eyes and casually flipped through the documents in her hands. She found that the documents were just some ordinary documents.
Vivian looked at the documents in front of her and turned her eyes. She then started to read them seriously. With Vivianâs help, although he did not read the documents, Julian still understood the content inside.
When she finished reading all of it, he looked at Vivian and smiled. âSure. In the future, when my eyes are not comfortable, help me read the documents.â
Vivian immediately raised her eyebrows. âOkay! No problem!â
Vivian saw Julian take the documents and put them on the bed. She rolled her eyes again and leaned against Julian. She smiled and said, âJulian, you went to the hospital for a checkup today. Is there really no problem with your eyes?â
âWell, the doctor said that I am just too tired. I will be fine after a rest.â Julian raised his hand again and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He then closed his eyes.
âIf your eyes are really uncomfortable, why donât you do this? Anyway, I have nothing to do at home.
Why donât I follow you to the company? When your eyes are too tired, I will be in charge of reading your documents. How about it? Is this a good idea?â
Julian heard her words and smiled. âHow can that be? You are already six months pregnant. I still want my son to be born safely. Last time, you had a miscarriage. This time, no matter what, you have to let my son be born safely!â
âWhy do you want a son so badly? What if I have a daughter in my womb?â Vivian looked at him tentatively and asked.
âDidnât Mom say that she had already gone to the be a daughter?â
âIâm just making an analogy with you. You said before that you would give me son!â Vivian still remembered this matter.
âDonât worry, baby. I will not forget. I have already prepared it.â
âThen let me ask you a question.â
âOkay, you can ask. . .â
âWhy do you want a son so badly?â
âThink about it, the Cooper Family has such a big family business, how can we not give birth to a son?
If we give birth to a daughter. . . Do I have to work like this? I earned so much money, but in the end, I gave it all to someone else. How can I accept this? Donât you think so?â
Actually, the most important thing was that he didnât say it, nor would he say it. The reason why he wanted to have a son. . . It was because Vivian was once Christianâs fiancée. Therefore, he hoped that Vivian could give birth to a son for him. Of course, inheriting the Cooper Familyâs career was also one of the important reasons.
âThen what if. . . I am telling you in case something goes wrong with the instrument that I checked.
What will you do if I give birth to a daughter?â
During this period of time, what made her most restless was the child in her womb. She even thought about it at a certain moment. A daughter should be a daughter, but on second thought. . . Even if it was a daughter, it would depend on Julianâs attitude.
âHehe! How could there be a âwhat ifâ? The hospital has already investigated clearly, and you are not in two months or three months right now. You are already six months pregnant, how could there be a mistake? Furthermore, you are looking for an acquaintance to examine you. That possibility was even more impossible. Unless there is a situation. . .â Julian looked at Vivian and smiled when he said this.
âWhat is the situation?â Vivian immediately widened her eyes and looked at him to ask.
âYou lied to me!â Julian couldnât help but laugh as he spoke.
Vivian heard Julianâs words and immediately explained guiltily. âFuck you! Is there any point in lying to you about this kind of thing? He will be born in a few monthsâ time. Even if I lie to you for a while, I wonât be able to lie to you for the rest of my life! Besides, your mother is still by my side.â
Julian saw her anxious look and smiled again. âI Vivian immediately glared at him unhappily. âCan you âOkay! I wonât play this kind of joke in the future! What I mean is that our child is our son. Itâs impossible for him to appear in the event that you say so. Do you understand? â
Vivian looked at him and smiled. âYes, I understand. Then prepare the villa for me. Next a son and I am still waiting to live there. . . â
âHaha! Donât worry. Thereâs definitely no problem.â
âRight, Julian, how about the Lucas I introduced to you? His character shouldnât be a problem, right?â
Julian closed his eyes and nodded. âYes, he is very smart. There is no need to say his character.â
âActually, Julian, there was something I did not tell you before. . .â
Julian opened his eyes when he heard her. âYou didnât tell? What do you mean?â
âWhy are you so nervous? What I mean is, the Lucas I introduced to you is actually a nephew of my motherâs family, my cousin.â
âCousin? Really? Then why didnât you tell me the truth?â Julian looked at her with some surprise and asked.
âIf I told you before, you would definitely have other opinions. I just wanted him to follow you for a while.
If you think itâs okay, then let him continue. If not, then let him leave by himself.â
Julian nodded in understanding. âWell, you donât have to say it. This person is really good. Itâs just that his academic qualifications are a little low.â
âI should be able to be an assistant for you as well. If you really think heâs good, just promote him and let him be your assistant in the future. That way, my mom can talk in front of his parents, what do you think?â
Julian listened to Vivianâs words and thought for a moment. After a while, he nodded. âYes, sure. Since he is your cousin, then I can relax and let him be my assistant from now on.â
âYou agree?â
âWhatâs there to not agree? Since heâs a relative of your family, I canât treat him unfairly. Donât worry, Iâll take care of it.â
Vivian immediately happily kissed Julian on the face and said with a smile, âThank you, Julian.â
Julian smiled and patted her on the cheek. âYouâre being polite with me?â
After breakfast the next day, Julian got into the car and went to Cooper Group. The car drove out of the villa for a distance. Julian looked Lucas who was driving in front of him and asked slowly. âLucas, I heard from Vivian last night that you are my mother-in-lawâs nephew and Vivianâs cousin, right?â
âYes, President.â
âI see that you have been very diligent and quick-witted during this period of time. From today onwards, you will be my assistant.â
âThank you so much, President.â
âIn the future, if you have any matters in the company, remember to inform me in time. Got it?â
âYes. Donât worry, President. I will earnestly complete the task given to me by the President.â
Julian smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
The car quickly arrived at the Cooper Group and slowly stopped in front of the lobby. Lucas quickly got out of the car and eagerly opened the door for Julian. Seeing him enter the lobby, Lucas drove the car to the square in front of the Cooper Group and parked it. He got out of the car.
Thinking about what Julian told him on the way here, he took out his phone and dialed Vivianâs number.
âLucas, why did you call me at this time?â Seeing that it was Lucas calling, Vivian quickly returned to her bedroom. She locked the door behind her.
âVivian, I have good news for you.â
âWhat good news?â
âWhen I took Julian out this morning, he asked if I was your cousin. I said yes, he then said he wanted me to be his assistant from today onwards.â
âReally? Thatâs great. Let me tell you, you must do your job well and obtain his absolute trust! Do you know?â
