Chapter 87
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 87 Our Promise Will Not Change For A Hundred Years Nobody knows how happy it was for her to go out and work.
âYou really want to thank me?â Christian looked at her with a bit of amusement.
âI am just being polite with you. Do you really take it seriously?â Sarah got along more and more well with him. She started to joke with him.
âDonât you know that I treat things seriously? If you are just saying it loud, then donât say thank you to me in the future!â
Sarah looked at this petty man and was silent for a while. She nodded and said, âOkay! This time I really want to thank you.â
âThen I want to make a condition.â Christian said without hesitation.
âWhat condition?â Sarah stared at him then rolled her eyes at him. âDonât go too far!â
âDonât worry! Help me to the bed first.â
Sarah helped him to the bed then sat beside him. âWhat conditions Regimental Commander Cooper wants to make with me?â
âYou are not allowed to call me Christian in the future!â
Sarah laughed and looked at him. âThen what should I call you? Regimental Commander Cooper?â
Christian grabbed her hand. âCall me Chris!â
Sarah blushed. She looked at him and whispered. âI canât call outâ¦â
They did not have any feelings between them, so how could she call out?
âIf you canât even do such a simple condition, then donât casually say thank you to me in the future. If you canât do it, then donât casually say it!â
Sarah looked at this person speechlessly. Didnât she just say thank you? She actually attracted such a long speech from Regimental Commander Cooper!
âThen give me some timeâ¦â Although it was only a name, Christian and Chris gave people a feeling that they were miles apart. She really couldnât open her mouth.
âOkay.â Christian did not insist and instructed Sarah to help him get a book to read in the study.
Sarah gave him the book and went to shower. When she came out of the bathroom, Christian put down the book and looked at her. âI sweated a lot when I went up the stairs today. I want to take a shower too.â
Sarah slightly pursed her lower lip. Although she had done this kind of thing twice, when she thought about the embarrassing scene of last time, she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart.
But it was summer now. It was definitely impossible not to let him take a shower. She could only nod her head slightly, âWait a minute. Iâll go get you some water.â
She had already learned her lesson, and Christianâs legs were much better now. Therefore, the bath this time was much smoother than before. When they come out of the bathroom, it was already ten oâ
clock at night.
Sarah first helped Christian to the bed, then went around to lie down beside him.
She knew that he did not like to look at her back. So this time, once she laid down, she turned around to face him for the first time.
But she had always been very nervous. She always remembered that they were a fake couple, so even though she was facing him, there was still some distance between her and him.
âCome hereâ¦â He called her softly.
well here.â
âThen why did you hug me every day and wake up?â
Sarah was tied up by his words and thought for a long time before refusing. âThat was something that I unconsciously did. I havenât slept yet. Besides, we canât be too intimateâ¦â
She couldnât condone him forever. If she continued to maintain that intimate relationship with him, she was worried that the consequences would get out of hand.
Christian smiled faintly and did not make things difficult for her. âThen when are you going to apply?â
âI want to go and take a look tomorrow. Is that okay?â
What Sarah wanted to do the most now was to work outside and not come back every day. When the three month deadline was up, she could directly move out of this house. So now that there was such a chance, she did not want to drag it out for a day.
with you.â
âNo need, your body is inconvenient. I can go aloneâ¦â Sarah immediately refused. If she brought him along to apply for the job, would she still have a chance to succeed?
âYou think Iâm embarrassing you?â Christian asked her directly.
âCan you stop being so self-righteous? When did I feel ashamed of you? Iâm just worried that itâs inconvenient for you.â
Couldnât this personâs words be a little more pleasant? Every time, his words made her speechless.
âIâm fine. Iâve been in the army for so many years, but I donât know much about this society anymore.
When you go to work in the future, Iâll pick you up every day. I want to experience how it feels to pick up my wife after work.â
Sarah heard his words and could not help but laugh. She felt that he was a little childish. âOkay. As long as you do not find it troublesome, go and pick me up every day.â
âThen itâs a deal!â
Christian looked at her. âLetâs pull the hook!â
Sarah looked at his serious expression and could not help laughing again. âBig Brother, how old are you?â
Christian did not say anything. He pointed at her with his little finger and looked at her with an expression that said he would not give up.
Sarah saw his actions and knew that he had always been like thing when he talked and did things. She smiled and reached out her hand to hook his little finger.
When she wanted to take it back, her finger was still tightly hook by him.
Christian very seriously raised his thumb and said, âYou havenât stamped it yet?â
Sarah smiled as she used her thump to stamp him. âNow itâs okay, right?â
Christian still did not smile and did not let go of his finger. He only looked at her and said slowly, âI remember there was another narrationâ¦â
âWhat narration?â Sarah was amused by his expression and asked him without thinking.
âOur promise will not change for a hundred years.â Christian looked at her seriously.
Sarah was still smiling when he said. Her eyes sparkled and she did not know how to answer him.
Christian saw her expression and smiled slightly as he withdrew his hand. He turned his body and looked at the ceiling. âLetâs go to sleep.â
Sarah looked at his stiff side profile. She turned around, leaving him with her back.
But her heart began to panic again.
Perhaps it was a sweet private message for other couples, it was a great irony for them.
A hundred years?
They didnât even have a hundred days.
The night gradually deepenedâ¦
Under the dim moonlight, a few lovesick trees gently swayed in the breeze. When the sea breeze blew over, the leaves rustled. It was just that it was unknown whose heart was disturbed.
When Sarah woke up the next morning, she was still leaned in Christianâs arms. In her words, that was something she unconsciously did. She had done this kind of thing for a long time. She realized that, she had gotten used to it.
From the initial conflict and embarrassment, up until today, she had already gotten used to it.
Smelling the male scent on his today, she discovered that she even had a little bit of greed. She moved in his arms and opened her eyes to look at him.
At this moment, he had yet to open his eyes. His face still looked like he was in a deep sleep.
This was the first time she had observed him at such a close distance. His forehead was full, and his nose was straight. His lips were neither thin nor thick. Without opening his eyes, he looked much gentler than usual.
After observing for him, Sarah realized that he was actually much more handsome than Julian. It was just that he usually sat on a wheelchair. It made people ignore his good points.
If one day, he stood up from the wheelchair⦠He would definitely attract a lot of womanâs attention, right?
âDo I look good?â
Christian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her. There was a faint smile on his lips and his big hand was on his back.
Sarah was shocked and looked at him reproachfully, âRegimental Commander Cooper, can you not be so scary?â
Christian smiled and pulled her into his arms.
âI am going to get upâ¦â His actions made her blush.
âYou seem to owe me a condition.â
âWhen did I owe you a condition?â Sarah looked at him in puzzlement.
âWhat happened last night?â Sarah had already forgotten about it.
âYou promised to call me Chris. Now, just call me!â
âI want to go to the bathroom!â Saran random made an excuse. Now that she was in such an intimate position with him, if she called him Chris again, she really did not know how to face him.
Just thinking about it made her feel that scene was too ambiguous!
They were a fake couple. She absolutely could not forget this.
âIâll allow you to pee on the bed today.â Christian looked at her with an indifferent expression and did not smile.
Sarahâs eyes twitched.
Did he have to say that?
Seeing the rich expression on her face, Christian held back his laughter and continued, âCall me!â
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to her face, Sarah subconsciously raised her head back.
She knew that this person rarely gave up on doing things so easily, so she quickly shouted. âChris!â
Christian pulled the back of her head and looked at her to correct her. âYou call me emotionless. Slow down!â
âWe have no feelings to begin with!â Seeing his insatiable behavior, Sarah immediately reminded him.
âBut you promised me last night. Since you promised others, you must show a sincere look. Otherwise, Iâll pretend you never said it.â Christian did not mind her words at all. He continued to speak earnestly and corrected her.
Sarah stared at him speechlessly. She felt that this manâs ability to take things seriously was not something ordinary people could compare with. She bit her lips tightly and looked at him in silence.
âIf a person cannot make a promise, he must receive punishment. Since youâve been taking care of me for so many days, Iâve decided to let you go.â Christian no longer insisted.
âThen I have to get up.â Sarah immediately said.
âBut didnât I say it just now? You have to accept punishmentâ¦â
Sarah immediately stared at him and had a bad feeling. âWhat punishmentâ¦?â
Before she finished speaking, she saw Christianâs face fall down and her lips were instantly sealed.
