Chapter 236
The Contract Marriage
âLetâs not care about the baby in Sarahâs womb first. I think it will not be so easy for us to do it again after this. So the most important thing now is not Sarahâs child. I have already told Julian and his mother that I am carrying a son. What do you think we should do about this? If they see that it is a daughter at that time, Julian will probably even have the heart to divorce me.â
Lucas frowned and sighed heavily. âThis matter is indeed a little difficult to handle. Since you have already said that it is a son, are we really going to change our daughter to a son? The problem is, even if we can change her, where can we change her? Taking ten thousand steps back, even if we have money now, the problem is that there must be someone willing to change it. Vivian, This kind of thing is really not something that can be done with money. . .â
Vivian immediately gave him a look of annoyance, âIf I feel that it is easy to do, I will still ask you?
Anyway, I donât care. During this period of time, help me ask around to see if there are any pregnant women with the same number of months as me? If it is not possible in the open, then. . . Then I can only do it secretly.â
At the end of Vivianâs words, there was a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes.
âNo way. . . Then. . . Then what about our daughter?â Lucas subconsciously looked at Vivianâs belly.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood. No matter what he said, he was reluctant to part with it.
âIdiot. Isnât this simple? When we have money, canât we just think of a way to get her back?â
âYes, the method you said is also possible. Thatâs right. . . When this child grows up in the future. . . Do you think she will hate us?â Lucas could not bear to look forward.
âWhen you do things, you are always afraid of the wolf and the tiger. How can you achieve great things? With your little ability, how can we live a good life? Can you buy me a car or a house? What if I donât sacrifice my daughter? We are starving.â
âYes. Yes, yes. Vivian, you are right. Thereâs nothing else we can do now. We can only make our daughter feel wronged.â Lucas could not say anything against it. After all, Vivian had come to this stage today because he was too incompetent.
âDo you think I am too cruel as a mother?â
âNo. . .â
Vivian looked at the road in front of her and narrowed her eyes coldly. She then looked at Lucas, who was beside her. âDrive. Letâs go home first.â
Lucas immediately nodded and started the car to drive back to their residential area. When the car stopped at Vivianâs house, Vivian looked at Lucas worriedly and said, âI have been more than six months pregnant. You have to think of a way to find a pregnant woman who is similar to me. Do you hear me?â
âYes, yes. I know.â
After Vivian heard his affirmative answer, she opened the car door and got out of the car and returned to her motherâs house. Lucas saw her go upstairs, then drove away.
When Vivian walked into the living room, there was only her mother at home. Mrs. Holmes saw that her daughter was fully armed and looked at her with puzzlement. She asked, âYou have a big belly and it is such a cold day, where did you run off to?â
âI went out for a stroll.â Vivian took off her mask and glasses and took off her hat and handed them to her mother. Then she walked into her bedroom and looked at her mother who followed her in. She said, âMom, I want to tell you something. . . â
âYes, tell me. What do you want to tell Mom?â Ever since her daughter married into the Cooper Family, Mrs. Holmes basically treated her daughter as treasure. In any case, as long as it was her daughter who said it, she had to do whatever she said.
Vivian lightly sighed and then lowered her hand to touch her bulging stomach. She said with some disappointment, âMom, I asked a friend to check in the hospital a while ago and found out that I was indeed carrying a daughter. It was not a son at all. . .â
âAh? How could this be?â Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter in disappointment. After a while, she still could not believe it and confirmed, âDid the hospital do something wrong? Did you go somewhere else to confirm? I heard that there are many mistakes in this kind of thing.â
Vivian shook her head in disappointment. âI have already gone to many homes, but in the end, they all say it is a daughter. Sigh. . .â
Mrs. Holmes saw her daughterâs disappointed expression and immediately comforted her. âVivian, daughter is daughter. Could Cooper Family chase you out of Cooper Family just because you gave birth to a daughter? The same goes for a daughter. Arenât you a daughter too? Donât think too deeply about this matter.â
âMom, itâs not that I think itâs too complicated. Julian said that if I give birth to a son for him, he will give me a villa and my mother-in-law will have her eyes narrowed into slits when she heard that it was a son. When the time comes, if she sees that it is a granddaughter, she will definitely encourage Julian to divorce me. . .â
âThen. . . Wouldnât it be fine to give birth to another one?â
âI went to the hospital for a checkup and said that I canât be pregnant anymore.â
âThen. . . Then what should we do?â Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and did not know what to do.
Vivian looked at the ground and lightly sighed. Biting her teeth slightly, she said slowly, âActually, Mom.
Anyway, at this stage of the matter, I am not afraid of hiding it from you. This child is not Julianâs at all.â
She originally thought that if she was carrying a son, it wouldnât be too late to tell her mother about the childâs origin in the future.
But now that things had come to this point, she might very well need her motherâs help in the future.
Rather than hiding it from her, it was better to tell her everything right now.
When Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words, she immediately stood up nervously and walked to the door to close the door first before closing the window. Only then did she walk to her daughterâs side and sit down.
She tightly grabbed Vivianâs hand and urgently asked, âVivian, what did you say to me just now? I didnât hear wrongly, right?â
âMom, you didnât hear wrongly. Iâm not carrying Julianâs child.â
âOh my god. How could there be such a thing?â Mrs. Holmes was so scared that her heart almost jumped out when she heard her daughterâs words. She pressed her hand on her chest and panted heavily. Then she looked at her daughter and asked in a low voice, âThen. . . Then whose child are you carrying?â
âItâs Lucasâs.â
âAh? Lucas? I will Go and kill him.â Mrs. Holmes immediately stood up angrily when she heard him and wanted to leave.
âMom. Stop right there.â Vivian called out to her mother.
Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter and sighed heavily. She sat back down again and looked at Vivian angrily. âYou guys are committing sins. How could this be? Even if you are really carrying a son, this kind of thing will come to light sooner or later. Why are you together with Lucas?â
Vivian listened to her motherâs words and lowered her head. âI grew up did not live up to expectations in other peopleâs eyes, I still like him.â
âSigh, you said that other than being a little bit more good-looking, he is good for nothing. He doesnât have money. He doesnât have the ability. Julianâs family is such a wealthy family, but you actually like a trash. . . Sigh. I donât even know what to say about you. . .â
Mrs. Holmes sighed heavily again at the end of her sentence. She kept shaking her head and shaking her head.
âMom, let me tell you today. I didnât want to hide it from you. I have also mentioned to you before that the people of Cooper Family always prioritize men over women. Even if the child in my womb is Lucasâs, I originally thought that if it was a son, there would not be any problem.â
âThe last one that was carrying was a son. But that childâs body was not healthy and he had congenital heart disease. So I took the abortion medicine and later blamed it on Sarah. I originally thought that this time, no matter what, I would have a healthy child, but who knew that God was so unfair to me. The child is healthy, but she is also a daughter. Mom. . .â
Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter in disbelief. âYou, you say that child. . . Why did you let him go?
The Cooper Family is so rich. Even if he is sick, he will definitely be cured. But now, you. . . You are pregnant with a daughter, and now you are saying that you cannot give birth. Then what else can you do? Donât you think youâve brought this upon yourself?â
âMom. . . I told you this today because I want you to help me. . .â
âHow can I help you with something like this?â Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter helplessly. She did not expect this kind of thing to happen and was at a loss for what to do.
âMom, it has already happened. Donât be nervous. As long as we donât tell them, they definitely wonât notice. Mom, now you have to do me a favor.â
âAlright. Tell me, what can I help you with?â At this point, Mrs. Holmes knew that whatever she said was useless and could only look at her daughter.
âTake a look at your motherâs family and see if there is a girl with a bad family situation but not married yet.â
âVivian, why are you looking for a girl of this age?â
âMom, I want to have a more considerate person in the Cooper Family. Although those two girls have a good relationship with me, in the end, they are closer to the people of the Cooper Family. I just want to find someone who is close to us. It would be best if their family is in trouble. I can help them. That way, she would listen to whatever I say. Think about it, is there such a person?â
She still had three to four months to produce. Before that, no matter what, she must have a trusted aide. Otherwise, the matter of giving birth to a son will definitely be exposed. No matter what, she had to make plans now.
Mrs. Holmes thought silently for a while. After a while, her eyes lit up and she nodded, âVivian, you donât have to say, I really have a good candidate. If I remember correctly, my cousinâs third daughter is in her early twenties. Sheâs not that old, but she seems to be quite serious in her work. If you can get her to help you, then that should be right.â
âThen what are you waiting for? Call me now and ask.â Vivian immediately urged her mother when she heard that.
âCall now?â
âThatâs right. When you call, tell her that the monthly salary is 1000. If she feels that itâs not enough, weâll increase it again. Depends on the situation. . .â
âAlright. Wait for it.â Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and immediately went to get her phone.
After a while, she went back to her room and called her cousinâs number.
