Chapter 67
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 67 Persuading for Marriage âThis is an old expert from Beijing, Doctor Porter. He specially came today to see Christianâs legs.â
Military Commander Myers brought Doctor Porter to the living room and sat down. He smiled and introduced them to Christian and Sarah.
When she heard that he was here to treat Christianâs leg, Sarah immediately looked at him gratefully and said, âThank you so much, Doctor Porter!â
Christian also looked at Doctor Porter and nodded with a smile. âThank you, Doctor Porter!â
Doctor Porter was a kind old man. He smiled when he heard what they said. âMilitary Commander Myers and I are old friends. He told me about you. He went to my house to talk about you for two or three hours. He even told me about your first day in the army.â
As soon as Doctor Porter finished speaking, the few of them couldnât help but laugh. Sarah silently looked at Christian who was beside her.
This was the first time she realized how pretty he looked when he smiled!
After Doctor Porter said a few words to them, he walked over to Christian and sat down beside him. He started to check his leg injury.
About ten minutes later, he stopped and looked at Military Commander Myers, who was opposite him.
âChristianâs leg looks fine now. But to make sure there are no problems, let him come with me to our hospital for a check-up later!â
Greta, who had been silent, immediately said. âAnyway, I am fine now. Why donât I take him there now?â
Doctor Porter looked at Christianâs legs and nodded. âSure!â
Military Commander Myers immediately looked at Sarah. âSarah, help Christian prepare. Letâs go now.â
âOkay.â Sarah immediately stood up. Greta also followed them. Both of them helped Christian sit in a wheelchair and then went out of the house. They sat in Military Commander Myers car and prepared to leave.
But after Christian got into the car, he found that there was no seat left for Sarah.
Greta, who was in the passage seat, immediately said, âSarah, the examination will be done quickly. I am a doctor and can take care of Christian better than you. You donât need to go for now.â
Military Commander Myers also nodded after hearing Gretaâs words. âSarah, donât worry! I will protect Christian the whole time today.â
After hearing Military Commanderâs words, Sarah did not continue to insist. She could only look at them and nod with a smile. âThen I will have you trouble youâ¦â
After saying that, she looked at Christian, who was looking at her silently. She smiled at him. âI will wait for you at home.â
Christian nodded slightly and looked away.
The car slowly started, soon drove out of the yard and slowly disappeared.
Sarah turned around and went back to Christianâs house. The moment she closed the door, the whole room instantly quieted down.
She walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked at Christianâs seat beside her. There seemed to be a little bit of his breathing floating in the air. Recalling the why he had just smiled, she couldnât help but smile.
If in the future, he could also smile at her like this every day, she would really be satisfied.
Would he be angry with her if she did not follow him to the hospital for check-up this time? Would his check-up process go smoothly? But with that Military doctor Greta there, everything should be fine, right?
Because of Vivianâs words, Julian returned home last night. Before breakfast in this morning, he found his mother and told her that he was going to give her a surprise. But he had to wait for his father to leave before he could tell her anything.
When Daphne heard Julianâs words, she was happy the entire morning.
After breakfast, Daphne urged Ethan to go to company quickly.
Ethan looked at Daphne in confusion. âWhat happened today?â You used to complain me not for staying with you at home. But today you want me to leave quickly?â
âWhat can I do? I see you have been sullying your fatherâs mood these two days. No matter what, he is old. As his son, you have to take care of him.â Daphne quickly said as a filial daughter-in-law.
âI have a gloomy face every day?â Ethan rubbed his facial muscles in front of the mirror.
âWhen you are at home, the temperature is below zero degrees. My son is very careful, when he speaks.â Daphne saw that he was in a good mood and summoned up her courage to speak for Julian.
âHe is careful when he speaks? He deserves it!â Ethanâs face darkened after listing Julianâs name.
âLook how ugly your face right now! Alright, you should leave quickly. My son is also the president of the company. You should at least give him some face at the company!â
Ethan snorted coldly, âI donât give him face? If I really didnât give him any face, he would have been fired a long time ago. Iâm leaving!â After saying that, he strode out of the bedroom.
Daphne looked at his back and sighed softly. She watched Ethanâs car leave the villa, then she called Julian and asked him to come to her room.
Julian came very quickly. He had a piece of paper in his hand.
âSon, didnât you say you want to give me surprise?â What kind of surprise it is?â Daphne looked at him expectantly.
Julian handed the paper to Daphne. âYou look yourself.â
When Daphne saw the paper, she was disappointed. âWhat kind of surprise this is?â
Actually, this paper was made by Vivian two days ago. She could clearly see the embryonic form of the child in few sides.
Daphne quickly covered her mouth in excitement and looked up at Julian. âThis canât be my grandson, right?â
Julian looked at his mother and smiled. âMom, he is your grandson. Isnât dad familiar with the director to check on Vivian and found that it is definitely a boy. You have a grandson, Mom!â
âThatâs great!â
Daphne was very happy when she heard this. Ever since she married into Cooper family, she didnât lack anything. But whenever she saw people showing off their little grandchildren to her, she had a sour feeling in her heart.
But she didnât expect her wish could come true so soon. She was excited and happy.
âMom, donât get excited now. This little grandson of yours will be an illegitimate child in a few months.â
Julian saw her motherâs expression and knew this matter had been succeeded. He continued to push the matter further.
âWhat are you talking about? How will my grandson be an illegitimate child?â Daphne immediately glared at Julian, when she heard his words.
She had already seen through his sonâs thoughts. She smiled and asked. âYou want me to persuade your father for your and Vivianâs wedding, right?â
Julian immediately nodded in agreement. âMom, youâre so smart. I havenât told you yet, but you already guessed.â
Daphne smiled proudly, âNo matter what, you are still a piece of meat that fell off your motherâs body. I can tell what you are thinking in just one look.â
âMom, you are amazing!â Julian praised her again. But in the next moment, he said with disappointment. âBut Dad is not as good as you. If he doesnât agree, you grandson canât enter this house!â
Seeing her sonâs expression, Daphne immediately comforted him. âDonât underestimate your mother.
Your father has a bad temper and now he feels that you have let your good brother down. Moreover, Sarah just got married to that cripple. If you talk to him now, you will definitely be rejected!â
âBut Mom, if I delay for a few more months⦠Vivianâs stomach will get bigger. You are also one who gave birth, you canât possibly not understand this right?â
âVivian said she didnât dare to meet with her relatives now. She is afraid that other will look at her with disdain. Think about it. What she is carrying is your biological grandson. If her mood was bad, it will affect that child in her womb, right?â
âYes, you are right! Once the belly got bigger, the wedding will be a problem.â Daphne felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
âYes! But Mom, if Dad doesnât agree⦠Mom, I really donât know what to do.â
Daphne looked at Julian and thought for a while. âLeave this to me. I will think of a way to make your dad compromise!â
Julian immediately asked. âMom, what can you do?â
Daphne smiled. âYour father has two weaknesses. One is Sarahâs father, and the other one is your grandfather. He is a filial son. He never rejected your grandpaâs words. As long as you convince him, this matter will be easy to handle.â
Julian listened to his motherâs words and finally had a smile on his face. âMom, you are still the best.
Then I will leave this matter to you!â
âLeave it to Mom!â
âThen Iâll go back to work.â Julian immediately got up and prepared to leave.
âOkay, you can leave this matter to me. You can go to work in peace. Oh right, where is your apartment with Vivian? Give me the key and address!â Daphne looked at her and asked.
âMom, what do you want that for?â Julian asked his mother nervously.
âOf course I am going to see Vivian. Although she and you havenât had a wedding yet, you guys have already registered. She is also the daughter-in-law of Cooper family and she is also pregnant. You canât accompany her and you still wonât allow me to see my daughter-in-law?â
Julian immediately took out the key and handed over. Then he told the address. âMom, I will leave first.â
âOkay, go! Donât worry!â
