Chapter 26
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 26 Are You Stupid?
Sarah took out a tissue and wiped her tears. Thinking about Christianâs personality, she decided to call him first. She took the phone and dialed Christianâs number again.
âHello, Christian, can I go later today?â
âIâm going to see a good friend!â
âCan I go after lunch?â
To be honest, with his aloof personality, she really didnât want to be alone with him. Furthermore, her good friend Kendall definitely would not let her go easily.
âNo!â Christian coldly refused.
âCome and help me make lunch at noon!â
âWhere is Jayson?â Even if Jayson did not know how to cook, he could at least buy lunch, right?
âHeâs not here!â
Sarah sighed speechlessly and nodded in agreement. âOkayâ
There was a good milk tea shop next to Book City. The two friends were meeting there. When Sarah arrived, Kendall had already ordered a cup of milk tea and was waiting for her. Seeing Sarah walk in, she immediately waved at her.
âSarah, what is going on?â Seeing Sarah sitting down across from her, Kendall nervously looked at her and asked.
Sarahâs eyes dimmed a little as she looked at Kendall forcing out a bitter smile. âItâs not a big deal. It is just that I broke up with Julianâ¦â
âYou wretched girl, isnât this a big deal? Quickly tell me, did that bastard have a woman outside?â
Kendall looked at Sarahâs red and swollen eyes and was filled with anger.
Sarah lowered her head. âYesâ¦â
âLike I said, that bastard is clearly not a good person. You still treat him like a treasure all day long.
Sarah, tell me, whatâs the name of that woman? You have loved Julian for nine years. Even if you break up with him, you canât let that woman take advantage of you.â
Kendall hated this kind of this the most. In the past, she didnât like Julian, but now she hated even more.
Sarah shook her head dejectedly.
âForget it. The past matters have already passed. I do not wish to pursue any further. Besides, in the future, I still have to live in the same house as himâ¦â
Her words stunned Kendall and she stared at Sarah in disbelief. âWhat did you say? You still want to live in the same house as Julian in future? What do you mean? Donât tell me he abandoned you but you still want to be his secret lover?â
âKendall, what are you thinking about? Do you think I am that kind of person?â
âThen why did you say that just now?â
Sarah felt a little guilty under the gaze of her good friend. She lowered her head and looked at the milk tea on the table. She picked it up and took a sip.
âWhat is going on? You want to make me anxious to death, right?â Kendall anxiously stared at Sarah and asked.
âKendall, do you know who the woman with Julian is?â
âHow would I know about your matter?â Kendall was angered by Sarahâs leisurely attitude. She picked up the milk tea and took a sip.
âActually, that girl is originally Julianâs sister-in-lawâ¦â
Kendall spat out the milk tea that she had just drank. After she coughed intensely a few times, she looked at Sarah in disbelief.
âDamn! This Julian did not even let go of his sister-in-law. Sarah, its right for you to leave him! Let me tell you, this is definitely a good thing for you. With your conditions, you will definitely be able to find someone who is truly good to you!â
âActually, that girl is Julianâs Big Brotherâs fiancée. His Big Brother came back to hold a wedding with that girl!â
âSarah, you canât force a relationship. But I still donât understand what you just said. Why do you want to live with Julian in the same house in the future?â
Sarah sighed heavily. She looked at Kendall said with difficulty.
âI parted with you yesterday and went to Julianâs office. I happened to bump into the two of them.
Julianâs Big Brother was also there at that time. He was the one who took me away.â
Sarah lowered her head again and her voice was as low as mosquito.
âI also donât know what happened yesterday. Maybe I was angered by Julian and became muddle-
headed. In a fit of anger, I went to the Marriage Registration Office with his Big Brotherâ¦â
âAhemâ¦â Kendall choked on her Sarahâs words again. She stared at her friend in disbelief for a long time. Then she laughed as if she had heard a joke.
âSarah, are you sure you are not joking with me? You just broke up with that bastard. You turned around and married that bastardâs Big Brother? Come on, who would believe such a thing?â
Sarah looked at Kendall and nodded seriously. âItâs true!â
âIs it true? Who are you lying to? Are you out of your mind? You donât even have any feelings for his Big Brother. Why did you marry him? You want to see Julian every day in the Cooper Family?â Seeing that her good friend wasnât joking, Kendallâs anger rose again.
âI also donât know what happened yesterday. He told me that he was unwilling to see his brother and his fiancée together. He asked me if I was willing? I didnât know what happened to myself at that time either. So I went with him to get my marriage certificate.â
Thinking back to how she had gotten along with Christian since yesterday, Sarah really regretted it now. If she had known that her mother would know everything about her and Julian and Christian could actually make her mother agree to their marriage, Sarah wouldnât have taken this step. But now it seemed that she could not divorce Christian.
âAre you stupid? He married you because he wanted to use you to take revenge on Julian. I didnât expect you to be tempted by his words! You fool, can you get a marriage certificate as you wish? Thatâs a promise of a lifetime!â Kendall looked at Sarah and said.
âI also know that I was wrong, butâ¦â
âNo! You must not marry him! Call him right now and ask him to come here. I will talk to him! I want to see who he is to kidnap you to get married!â
Kendall had always been very confident in her eloquence. She knew that Sarah was soft-hearted, so she could not just sit and watch.
âNo! Actually, you donât know, he is also quite pitifulâ¦â Sarah remembered the scene of Christian getting angry yesterday and really could not bear to do such a thing.
âWhat is he pitiful for? Oh right, you havenât told me what his name is. What does he do?â
âHis name is Christian Cooper and heâs a soldier. Heâs regimental commander now! Half a year ago, his legs were injured and he is still sitting in a wheelchairâ¦â Sarah lowered her head and answered.
âSoldier? Then can he be able to stand up?â Kendall was surprised when she heard that it was a soldier.
âHe seems to be unable to stand up!â
Sarah shook her head. Whether that man could stand up or not was not what she wanted to care about.
âDoes that mean he will be sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?â
âYes, it should beâ¦â Sarah pursed her lips and felt sorry for the man.
Kendall sighed. âSigh, then it is a pity. If he was healthy, then it would be fine. Sarah, let me say something unpleasant. If you really marry him⦠Then wouldnât your life be ruined?â
Listening Kendallâs words, Sarahâs eyes dimmed.
âHis wedding with Vivian was supposed to be held tomorrow. He said that he couldnât find a bride for the time being and I agreed. Actually, I felt that he was more pitiful than me. His fiancée betrayed him with his own brother and he is still sitting in a wheelchair. But donât worry, he promised me that he would divorce me in three months. He just canât take it.â
She had always felt that the reason why that man insisted on having a wedding with her was because he wanted to anger his brother and that woman!
âSigh, it seems like what you said is true! But what if he doesnât agree to divorce you after three months?â
Kendall could not bear to hear Sarahâs explanation. No matter how eloquent she was, she could not bear to talk about divorce with a soldier in a wheelchair.
âHeâs a soldier! He definitely wonât go back on his words!â Although she didnât have a good impression of Christian, she always felt that he wasnât a man who would easily deceive others.
After three months, you can propose a divorce at any time!
He will definitely do what he says, right?
âUh, I hope so!â Kendall nodded and looked at Sarah with some worry. âThen did you tell Auntie about this? If she knew, she would definitely be shocked!â
Sarah sighed. âYesterday, people from the Cooper family went to my house to apologize. Later, Julian and Uncle left. Christian said he wanted to talk to my mom alone. I thought that my mother would definitely oppose it. Who knew that my mother would agree after he talked to my mother for half an hour.â
She really couldnât figure it out. What trick that man use to make her mother agree to this matter in half an hour?
âYouâre saying that auntie agreed to marry you to that Christian?â Kendall looked at Sarah and asked in disbelief.
âYes! I asked my mother and also Christian, but neither of them was willing to tell me! Forget it. As long as I can last for three months, I will be free again.â Sarah did not want to think too much about it.
Besides, she could not possibly be with that Christian Cooper forever.
âOh right. There is one more thing. If you really marry him, then how are you going to rest after marriage? Youâre not really sleeping with him, are you?â
âHis body canât take it anymore, so you donât have to worry.â Looking at that manâs physical condition, even if there was a beauty lying beside him, he wouldnât be able to do anything, right?
âSigh, looks like heâs really quite pitiful! That prospective fiancée of his must have betrayed him because of this, right?â After hearing what Sarah said, Kendall also could not bear it anymore.
âIt should be!â
âAlright then! Since itâs already like this, then you wonât be having a wedding with him tomorrow, right?â
âNo way! Our wedding will be held in a week. When the time comes, you can be my bridesmaid!â
Although this wedding wasnât what she wanted, she still didnât want to disappoint her mother.
âAlright! For the sake of Aunty, Iâll go.â Kendall nodded.
The two good friends chatted until about ten oâ clock. Sarah saw that it was about time, so she went to Christianâs apartment. She pressed the doorbell, and the person who opened the door was actually Christian.
