Chapter 76
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 76 The Thing That Makes Him Sad Julian heard this and looked at his father. âDad.â
Ethan looked at his disappointed son and said unwillingly. âFind a suitable day and marry Vivian.â
âDad, thank you.â Julian was very happy when he heard that his father had finally agreed to his marriage.
Daphne immediately nodded when he heard Ethanâs words. âThe date has been chosen long ago. It will be a good day three days later. We are waiting for your permission.â
Benjamin asked with worry. âWonât the wedding be a little rushed in three days?â
âDad, donât worry. The Cooper family needs three days to hold a wedding.â Actually Daphne was worried that the marriage would drag on for too long. At that time, if Ethan would change his mind, that would be terrible.
âJulian, you know what happened between you and your brother. So you canât hold this wedding too extravagantly, do you understand?â Ethan still considered Christianâs feelings.
âI know! Dad, donât worry!â As long as his father nodded, everything else would be fine.
âEthan, what about Christian and Sarah? Should we let them participate?â
As soon as Benjamin finished speaking, Julian and Daphne stared at Ethan. This was a sensitive topic in Cooper family, but he had to bring it up at a time like this.
Ethan sighed again. âNo matter what, they are Julianâs Big Brother and Sister-in-law. Since it is a wedding, let them come backâ¦â
âYou are right! Anyway, they will have to live in this house sooner or later.â Benjamin looked at Julian.
âAlright! Grandpa!â Julian nodded. A complicated look flashed through his eyes.
Half a month passed quickly. Sarah had been helping to take care of the twins for the past half month.
Her life was also very fulfilling.
Today Sister-in-law came back from her hometown and Sarah went home very early in the afternoon.
First, she went to her room and surfed into Weibo and chatted with her friends for a while. Soon, it was night time. Sarah made some dinner by herself. After dinner, she went out for a walk before going back to bed.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Sarah felt that she had fallen into a wide embrace in a daze. Immediately after, there was something pricking her chin. It was a little painful. She even felt that someone was kissing her.
When she realized this situation, she was very shocked. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a black shadow lying beside her. Just as she wanted to shout, she heard a familiar voice.
Following his voice, the lamp at the bedside also lit up. Sarah saw Christianâs familiar face. She did not see him for half a month. He had turned black and also lost weight.
âYouâre back?â After half a month, when she suddenly came into contact with him at such a close distance, her heart began to beat wildly with a bang.
âDidnât you say you were leaving? You didnât stay here all the time, did you?â
His large hand gently stroked her back. This little girl was getting more and more daring. She only wore a nightgown and didnât even bother to wear a bra.
âI came back.â
Sarah was asked this question, but she couldnât tell the truth. After a long silence, she realized that the two of them were too close.
âYou are too close to me. Let me go first!â
During this period of time, she had gotten used to sleeping alone. She didnât even wear a bra. Being tightly hugged by him like this, her chest immediately pressed against his chest. Sarah felt that she was about to die of embarrassment.
As soon as her words fell, the hand that held her waist tightened even more, causing her press against him. This seemed to be a little punishment for what she just said.
âChristian, donât be like this. We have an agreement!â Thinking of her relationship with him, she began to regain some confidence. Her big eyes stared at him.
âArenât you my wife?â Looking at her expression, he smiled faintly, as if he had long forgotten what happened half a month ago.
âDonât you know if Iâm your wife or not?â Knowing that she could not resist him, she glared at him with all her might.
âItâs not like Iâve never hugged you before. Besides, you didnât even miss ,me when you didnât see me for half a month?â
âI donât like you. Why would I miss you?â
âIf you donât miss me, why did you come back after you left? You obviously donât want to leave, right?â
âNo!â She had no words to refute. Back then, she had been arguing about leaving, and now, she had taken the initiative to run back. She was instantly rendered speechless by his question.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, he smiled and let go of her. Hugging her like this was also a fatal torture for him.
âIâm tired, go to sleep!â Christian let go of her as he spoke. He reached out and turned off the lamp, closed his eyes, and slept.
Once her body was freed, Sarah immediately returned to her position. Seeing his close his eyes, she suddenly came back to her senses. She stared at him and asked. âChristian, how did you come back?
Why didnât I hear anything at all?â
Christian looked at her and smiled. âJayson carried me in. I didnât expect to see you sleeping on the bed as soon as I came in.â
âThen he saw me?â Sarah subconsciously wrapped the sheets around her body.
âI didnât turn on the light. Donât even think about it! Go to sleep!â
Because it was late at night, Sarah did not want to ask any more questions. After a while, she heard Christianâs breathing sound and slowly closed her eyes.
This night was the most painful night in Sarahâs half a month. When she thought about the days after Christian came back, her heart started to panic again. She kept tossing and turning on the bed, and only when it was almost dawn did she slowly fall asleep.
When she woke up, there was no longer a shadow of Christian by her side. She quickly got up from the bed.
Hearing the sound in the living room, she didnât have time to wash up. She ran out of the bedroom first.
She saw Christian practicing walking back and forth in the living room while leaning on the crutches.
They hadnât seen each other for half a month, and he had already walked very well. Sarah looked at him. Sarah looked at him. In her heart, she was happy for him.
âDid you wash up?â Sarah looked at him and asked slowly. She even forgot that she was busy running out and even forgot to change her nightdress.
The light in the day was strong, and her figure made Christianâs blood boil. He swallowed his saliva and looked away from her with difficulty.
âOh, then wait for me!â She instantly realized the clothes she was wearing when she saw him. She went back to the bedroom with a red face, quickly changed her clothes and walked out again. She helped Christian enter the bathroom to wash up.
When they were eating breakfast, Christian walked to the dining table with the crutch. He looked at Sarah, who was opposite him. âI have something to tell you.â
Sarah stopped moving and looked at him. âWhat is it?â
âYou better be mentally prepared.â Christian looked at her and slightly blinked his eyes.
âWhat is it?â Looking at his expression, she felt uneasy.
âLetâs go back to City S tomorrow.â
Sarah looked at him nervously. âYou want to go back?â
âOf course. This exercise is over for me. I have half a yearâs holiday now. So youâll leave here tomorrow. Perhaps you wonât have the chance to come here again in the future.â
After saying that, Christian looked at her with a thoughtful look and smiled.
Sarah looked down and understood what he meant. She was silent for a while, but still looked up at him and asked. âWhen we go back, will we still live in the villa?â
Christian heard her words and blinked. After a while, he said slowly. âYes! Because I am not in good health and we have not been marriage for long, the family will definitely not let us live outside. Besides, even if we live outside, you donât want to take care of me.â
Sarah lowered her voice and her face turned red. âI didnâtâ¦â
Christian smiled. âI am joking with you. I know you are not that kind of ruthless girl.â
After saying this, his face became slightly serious. He looked at Sarah and said slowly. âBut there is one more thing that I must tell you.â
âWhat is it?â Sarah looked up at him.
âThe day after tomorrow is Julian and Vivianâs wedding day!â
Sarah was stunned for a moment. It was as if something had cut through her heart, and she felt a heart-piercing pain. It turned out that after such a long time, she would still be sad and heartbroken because of that man.
âYou donât dare to face it?â Seeing that she kept silent and did not speak, Christian looked at her and asked.
Sarah shook her head and slightly pursed her lower lip. After a while, she looked at Christian in disbelief, âAre they really getting married?â
She had long known that this would be the result. But she did not expect that at this time, it would be so fast.
Julian had been waiting for this day for a long time, right?
âVivianâs stomach is getting bigger and bigger. If she continues to wait, she wonât be able to wear the wedding dress, right?â
Christian drank a mouthful of milk. There was no sadness on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Sarah looked at his expressionless face and asked. âYou are not upset at all?â
Christian looked at her thoughtfully and smiled faintly. âThe thing that makes me said the most is that my wife thinks of other men!â
Sarahâs face turned red and she refuted him somewhat guiltily. âWe are not really husband and wife.â
Christian nodded silently and did not say anything.
âAfter they get married, they will also live in the villa?â If she went back with Christian, they would often meet Julian and Vivian.
Sarah lowered her head, feeling a little depressed in her heart.
âDo you still like Julian?â
âNo!â Sarah shook her head. Even if she did not like Julian now, they were once lovers after all.
Thinking about living with him in the villa in the future, how could she be calm?
Christian looked at her expression and didnât say anything.
Sarah was a little absent-minded on this day. When she thought about her life in Cooper family in the future, she didnât know what to do.
In these nine years, she never thought that one day in the future, she would live under the same roof as Julian as his big brotherâs wife. She never thought that this kind of situation would actually happen.
