Chapter 264
The Contract Marriage
During the time he was blind, Julian had more time to think than ever. He then began to reflect on what he had lost in the past.
Sarah loved him for nine years, but what did he do with her? He betrayed her. He was the one who pushed her further and further away by himself.
And what was his marriage with Vivian? In this marriage without love, other than desire and money, it seemed like he did not see anything else.
Happiness seemed to be very far away from him, very far away. . .
But ever since Ruby appeared, he realized that his heart had been warmed by this kind and honest girl.
She had been tolerant of him, caring and loving him.
It made him understand what true happiness was and what love was.
Now, Julian didnât want to continue this wrong marriage with Vivian. He wanted live for himself. A chance to be happy!
Ruby did not think that he would suddenly say such words to her. She was slightly stunned and then shook her head. âNo!â
She, who had always been very easy to talk to, very straightforwardly rejected his request.
âWhy?â Julian looked at her nervously. He put the bowl on the coffee table and fumbled to grab her hand. âRuby, why not?â
Ruby looked at him and looked down. âIf it was not for Sister Vivian, my fatherâs illness. . . would not have been cured. . .â
Although she also hoped that she would have a good home, Vivian was still someone who had helped her before and was also her cousin. No matter what she said, she would not do such an ungrateful thing!
âYou fool! I gave you the money to treat your fatherâs illness! And I also gave her a million yuan. She only took out 100,000 yuan to give you. Besides, I donât have any feelings for her anymore. I donât want to continue this marriage. I want to divorce her. As long as you donât mind that I canât see you, marry me, okay?â
Hearing what she just said, this was the first time Julian was so nervous and uneasy.
Ruby still pursed her lips when she heard what he said. She pursed her lips and looked at him with a little difficulty. âJulian, I donât want to do that. Donât make things difficult for me again, okay?â
âRuby! Iâm not making things difficult for you. I like you. Canât you feel it? My marriage with your cousin was originally a mistake. My life will still be very long in the future. I canât continue even though I know this is a mistake! When I was with Sarah in the past, I was already very wrong. I cannot continue to be wrong, Ruby. I have already thought about this matter for a long time. Today, it is not because I am impulsive that I will say this to you! As long as I divorce Vivian, Will you marry me?â
Ruby lowered her head and did not know how to answer this question.
âRuby!â Unable to hear her reply, Julian nervously called out her name.
âLet me take care of you like this. . .â Ruby was silent for a moment, but she still did not agree to Julianâs request.
In fact, although she was introverted, the marriage between Julian and her cousin. . . She saw it clearly.
She had been taking care of Julian during this period of time. Actually, at the beginning. . . It was only out of sympathy for him that she felt a man suddenly go blind. She always felt that he was a little pitiful.
However, this kind of meticulous care made Julian feel actually fell in love with him. When she saw him break down from drinking alone, her heart also ached very much.
But no matter how the relationship between them developed, there was a bottom line that she had always tightly guarded, and that was that she absolutely could not marry him.
Because Vivian was her cousin. No matter what Vivian did to her, her fatherâs illness would only have a chance to be cured because of Vivian.
As a person, she could not be ungrateful!
âRuby!â Julian heard that she would not agree to his request no matter what and anxiously called out her name.
âJulian, thank you for saying these things to me today. Actually, when I came to the Cooper Family, I just wanted to earn some money, but I never thought of anything else. Now I like to take care of you.
Vivian is my cousin. No matter what I say, I canât do anything to let her down! Donât make things difficult for me anymore. Just let me take care of you like this, okay?â
Julian listened to her words and knew that no matter what he said for the time being, she would not agree to him. So she sighed softly, âRuby, Do you know? You and Sarah are a little special. Both of you are too kind. Alright, I will not make things difficult for you for the time being. . .â
Maybe it was because he and Vivian had not divorced yet, that was why Ruby would not agree to it.
But even if Ruby did not agree to him now, he could not continue with that woman.
There were some mistakes that should have been corrected at the beginning.
The next morning, a distinguished guest came to Sarahâs delivery room. It was Jasmineâs 80-year-old grandmother.
Deirdre only let Jasmine bring her to Sarahâs delivery room because she was afraid that it would cause trouble for Sarah. The other servants were all standing in the corridor outside the delivery room.
When Jasmine helped her grandmother walk in, there was only Christian and Sarah in the delivery room. Samantha went to the nearby market to buy vegetables and had not returned yet.
Seeing that Deirdre had come to see her personally, Sarah immediately let Christian tell Deirdre to sit down.
Deirdre looked at Christian in front of her and smiled in satisfaction. Then she looked at Sarah heard that you married a commander. Today I see that your husband is indeed different from ordinary people!â
After saying that, she looked at Christian. âSarah is my granddaughter. You have to treat her well, understand?â
Christian had heard Sarah talk about Deirdre before. When he heard the old ladyâs words, he immediately smiled. âGrandma, donât worry. In our family, she is the only one who bullies me. . .â
Deirdre nodded in satisfaction and walked to the front of the baby bed. She looked at the adorable and cute little girl on the bed and took out a red packet from her pocket and put it on Simonaâs body.
Christian immediately picked it up and didnât want to take it. Deirdre saw his intention and immediately looked at him angrily. âWhatâs wrong? Is Military Commander Cooper looking down on me, a commoner old lady?â
Christian heard Deirdreâs words and explained, âHow dare I? But she is only a child. . .â
âWhatâs wrong with a child? I have to give the child even more! not for you. What right do you have to return it to me?â
Christian heard the old ladyâs words that seemed to be angry. He immediately nodded and said, âGrandma is right. Then I will take it for her first.â
Hearing this, Deirdre had a smile on her face. âThatâs more like it. . .â
Jasmine saw Military Commander Cooperâs ashen expression and could not help but laugh.
Deirdre looked at the child and sat by Sarahâs bed to chat with her for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she then greeted Sarah and Christian and prepared to leave.
Jasmine supported her grandmother to the door.
Just as Christian was about to open the door, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside and Samantha came back with some fruits and vegetables.
Seeing the old lady in front of her, she was a little surprised. Jasmine, who was beside her, was very familiar with her. So Samantha looked at Jasmine and smiled, âJasmine is here? This is?â
âAuntie, this is my grandmother. She insisted on coming to Jasmine did not finish her words when she felt her grandmaâs body shake by her side. She immediately called out nervously. Samantha also quickly reached out to support the old lady.
âAuntie, are you alright?â Samantha looked at Deirdre nervously.
Deirdre lifted her hand to support her forehead and stood where she was to calm herself down. After a long silence, she looked at Samantha in front of her and shakily reached out to grab her hand. âYou are. . . Sarahâs mother, right?â
Samantha heard the old lady ask her and immediately smiled and nodded, âYes, I am Sarahâs mother.â
Deirdre nodded and stared at Samanthaâs face for a moment before letting go of her, âTake good care of Sarah. . .â
âThank you for coming to see her. I will.â Samantha looked at this old lady and felt a unique sense of familiarity.
Deirdre listened to her. Only then did she look at her granddaughter beside her. âJasmine, letâs go back first. . .â
âOkay!â Jasmine nodded and then supported her grandmother out of Sarahâs delivery room.
Samantha stood at the door and watched Jasmine and a few maids support the old lady before walking back to her daughterâs bedside. She smiled and said, âI did not expect that this old lady would have such a relationship with you. At such an old age, she still insisted on coming to see you. . .â
âMom, did you forget that she made me her granddaughter? Previously I thought that you were her long-lost daughter but today I saw that she didnât say anything to you. Looks like this granddaughter of mine can only be a fake. . .â Sarah mischievously looked at her mother and said.
Samantha heard her daughterâs words and looked at her reproachfully. With a glance, she said, âI told you a long time ago that your mother was not raised and you actually still had that kind of dream?â
Sarah mischievously smiled, âHee hee, mom, my golden dream is shattered. Wilson Family is really rich. . .â
Samantha looked at Sarah and carried the fruits and vegetables to the kitchen, âYou will fall into the eyes of money!â
âHaha!â
Jasmine helped her grandmother carefully out of the hospitalâs hall and sat in the black Rolls Royce.
The car slowly started up and slowly drove out of the hospitalâs main door.
âJasmine. . .â Seeing the car drive to the road in front of the hospital, Deirdre then grabbed her granddaughterâs hand.
âGrandma, whatâs the matter?â
âCan you do me a favor?â
âGrandma, say it!â
. . . âDonât we have that kind of DNA test now?â
âYes, Grandma, why are you asking this?â
âCan you. . . Help me and Sarahâs mother do one?â
Jasmine widened her eyes and stared at her grandma. After a while, she came back to her senses.
âGrandma, could it be that you are. . . â
Deirdre raised her hand to stop her granddaughterâs next words. âSarahâs mother is, after all, old. There are some things. . . We should be more careful. You should do this quietly. We will tell them when there is a result. . . â
Jasmine nodded slightly agitatedly. âGrandma, I understand! But. . . Why do you think Auntie must be?
â
âYou forgot. . . Your aunt and Second Aunt are twins. . . Letâs not talk about it for now. You do it first!
How long will it take before there will be a result? â
