Chapter 263
The Contract Marriage
âArenât there maids at home? Besides, And Julianâs mother. Doesnât she want a grandson? Let her take care of him!â
âBut your father-in-law is still sick. Can she do it?â
Vivian immediately snorted. âEven if she canât, she has to! Who asked her to want a grandson so much? If it wasnât for her, I wouldnât have done this!â
Mrs. Holmes nodded. âAlright! Oh right, you should rest here for a while. Iâll go and take a look at that child. I wonder if she looks like you?â
After all, she was her biological granddaughter. Mrs. Holmes still had some worries in her heart and really wanted to know what the child looked like.
âAiya, Mom, why are you running over there now? Itâs not like you wonât be able to see her in the future.â Vivian did not agree with her mother going to see the child.
âIs there a mother like you? That is the flesh that fell off your body. No way! I have to go and take a look no matter what. Besides, Sarah gave birth to a child. Whatâs wrong with us going to take a look?â Mrs.
Holmes did not care about her daughterâs objection. As she spoke, she walked out of the room.
Although Sarah and Vivian gave birth at the same time, the delivery room took up two sides of the corridor. One was at the end of the corridor and the other was at the other end of the corridor.
Mrs. Holmes searched all the way until she finally found Sarahâs delivery room. She knocked on the door and after getting permission, she walked into the room.
There was only Christian and Sarah in the delivery room. Christian was not unfamiliar with Mrs. Holmes but when he saw her suddenly coming here, he was more or less surprised.
Because of Vivian, his impression of Mrs. Holmes was not very good. But she was after all an elder, so Christian invited her to sit down.
âAiyo, this little girl is really beautiful!â
Mrs. Holmes saw that Christian was carrying the child, so she directly walked in front of him and looked at the little girl in his arms who was blinking her big eyes. Her red and tender face was looking at Christian with a smile.
Mrs. Holmes liked the child from the bottom of her heart when she saw it.
Christian heard her praise her daughterâs beauty and smiled. âAuntie, do you think she is as beautiful as her mother?â
Mrs. Holmes subconsciously looked at Sarah and then kept nodding her head. âYes! As beautiful as mother! This child is really too likeable! Christian, can I hug her?â
Mrs. Holmes looked at the child in Christianâs arms and could not control her feelings no matter what.
When Christian heard Mrs. Holmes say this, he smiled and nodded. âOkay! Come, baby, let aunty hug you.â
Mrs. Holmes reached out to take it. As she looked at the child in her arms, she smiled and corrected, âHow can she call me aunty? She has to call me grandma like Stephen!â
After saying that, she laughed and teased the little girl in her arms, âBaby, call me grandma. . . Do you know?â
Sarah saw that Mrs. Holmes liked her child so much and said with some embarrassment, âAuntie, Iâm really sorry. We havenât had the time to see Stephen yet. . .â
Mrs. Holmes immediately smiled and waved her hand. âOh, itâs fine, itâs fine! We are a family! Thereâs no need to be so polite!â
As the three of them spoke, Samantha walked in with some fruits in her hands. Seeing Mrs. Holmes here, she exchanged a few words with her.
Mrs. Holmes watched for a while. She felt that it was time for her to go back, so she prepared to leave.
Seeing Mrs. Holmes, Samantha felt that since Mrs. Holmes had come to see her daughter and Vivian also had a child, so no matter what, she had to go and take a look.
Mrs. Holmes could not refuse and brought Samantha to Vivianâs delivery room.
When they walked in, Vivian was waiting anxiously. When Vivian saw Sarahâs mother come, she felt more or less nervous.
âVivian, I went to see Sarahâs child just now, so Aunt also came to see your child.â Mrs. Holmes seemed to have seen her daughterâs nervousness and immediately explained with a smile.
Vivian immediately looked at Samantha and smiled as she greeted, âAuntie, please take a seat.â
Samantha walked over and smiled as she asked about her body condition. Then she walked to the front of the baby bed and looked at little Stephen in the bed.
The child was lying on the bed, blinking a pair of dark eyes. When he saw that someone was coming to see him, he waved his little fist happily and kicked his calves.
Samantha looked at the child and smiled. She reached out and touched his small face, âThis child is really obedient. He is also so happy playing alone. His eyes are so bright. It looks like a grown up. He must be a handsome boy!â
Mrs. Holmes also immediately smiled and said, âYes! He will definitely be able to charm many girls to death. . .â
Samantha also laughed along.
After all, Vivian had once snatched away her daughterâs fiancé, so Samantha only stood there for a short while before leaving.
Mrs. Holmes watched Samantha walk away. Immediately, she nervously closed the door and walked to her daughterâs side to sit down.
Mrs. Holmes thought of her granddaughter that she had just seen and had a proud smile on her face.
âVivian, I just looked the child in Sarahâs room. That child was very beautiful, with a pink face. Her eyebrows and eyes are the same as yours. She is really cute and lovable. When I went in, Christian was carrying her in his room. I think the two of them are quite close to the child.â
No matter what, she was the biological mother of that child. Hearing what her mother said, Vivian also let out a sigh of relief. âThatâs good! They donât know anything, so they will definitely treat the child well.
Oh right, Mom. You canât go to their rooms anymore. If you expose yourself, when the time comes, weâll all be finished.â
Mrs. Holmes nodded. âYes, donât worry. This time, when I look at her, my heart completely falls to the ground. . .â
Samantha returned to Sarahâs delivery room. When she walked in, she saw that Christian had already baby bed. Samantha walked to the granddaughterâs bedside and wrapped her up.
Sarah looked at her mother and was somewhat curious. âMom, did you see Julianâs child?â
Samantha nodded. âYes, I have. He looks really similar to Julian. He is very happy lying on the small bed by himself. The little guy is chubby, and his eyes were pitch black. One look and you could tell that he was very likable.â
âIs that so? It seems that Julian has a good son. . .â Sarah heard her motherâs words and smiled.
Christian looked at his daughter on the baby bed and said, âOur baby is also very likable. Donât you think so?â
Sarah and her mother couldnât help but laugh when they heard his words.
Because Ethan had been in the ICU all this time, Christian went to see him a few times in the afternoon. He heard from the doctor that his fatherâs condition had not changed for the time being, so he could only return to his wifeâs delivery room.
There was no doubt about it. When such a big thing happened at home and he saw his newborn daughter, his mood would be much better.
With so many things happening, Christian knew that Samantha definitely did not sleep well last night.
So after dinner, he insisted on letting her go home and he would accompany his wife alone.
Simona ate milk night. After being carried by Christian for a while, she fell asleep.
Christian put the child into the baby bed and covered her with a small blanket. Only then did he return to his wifeâs bed and sit down, holding her hand to chat with her.
âHubby, how have you been in the army recently?â Before he could say anything, Sarah looked at him and asked.
âYes, I am quite good. You donât have to worry about my matters. The most important thing now is yourself. I heard that if a woman doesnât rest well at this time, she will fall ill in the future. You have to be careful, understand?â
âI didnât expect you to know so much. . .â Sarah smiled.
âThis kind of thing, as long as it is a man, he would know, right? You see, after performing such a big operation, one doesnât even need to think to know that your body is very weak. At this time, you must not force yourself. Mom definitely knows a little about this area. Wife, how about this? How about I hire a Maternity Matron for you? â
âForget it. I told my mother about this matter before, but she didnât agree. She said that it is our own grandchild and she wonât like to let others take care of her. She said that she has nothing to do anyway, so she can take care of my child by herself.â
Christian listened to his wife and nodded. âAlright, our mother is fine. She will feel that her life is more fulfilling when she has a child, but it will be more difficult.â
âI have said it too, but she just doesnât want to look for Maternity Matron. If she doesnât want it, then so be it. If we do it, then my mom will be in a bad mood.â
Sarah actually also understood that now that she had a child, her motherâs life was much more fulfilling than before. Samantha was no longer like in the past where she had nothing to do.
âAlright! Since that is the case, then I will not look for anyone.â Finding Maternity Matron was an easy task for the Cooper Family, but since his mother-in-law didnât allow him to invite someone, Christian could understand his mother-in-lawâs thoughts.
âBy the way, I will be discharged from the hospital a week later. I should go back to my motherâs house.
. .â
Christian sighed lightly, but still nodded. âAlright. . .â
That night, Christian slept on the sofa. In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up by the sound of crying of a child.
Christian blinked his eyes and sat up. Turning his head, he saw his daughter was crying.
He immediately walked to his daughterâs bedside and reached out to pick her up. Seeing that Sarah had also woken up, he carried the child over and let Sarah coax her for a while.
The little girl was very obedient. After eating, she obediently fell asleep again.
Christian placed her daughter in the baby bed and covered her with a small quilt. He then walked to his wifeâs bed and covered her with the quilt.
Christian looked at Sarah and said proudly, âOur daughter is really good. Remember when she was in your womb, itâs the same. When she grows up, she will definitely be a very good child.â
Sarah smiled and raised her eyebrows. She said, âIt canât be helped. Who asked her to be like me?â
Christian was amused by his wifeâs words. He lowered his head and kissed his wifeâs lips. âBaby, quickly go to sleep. . .â
Sarah nodded and then closed her eyes.
â¦
Julian went to work the next day because when his father was still fine, he had already gotten used to this kind of work. With Rubyâs help, he had already handled a lot of things with ease.
At noon, the manager of the Cooper Hotel sent two lunches as usual. Ruby placed all the food on the coffee table and then took Julian to the sofa to sit down. She first picked up some vegetables and put them in his bowl before giving him the chopsticks and bowls.
Julian held the chopsticks and bowls without moving them. He looked in Rubyâs direction and suddenly said, âRuby, marry me!â
