Chapter 91
The Contract Marriage
When he heard about Wilson group, he took the opportunity to talk to Sarah. âThe three daughters of the chairman of the Wilson Group are very unique. Especially his second daughter, Jasmine Wilson, she took care of her younger brother very well. Since youâre applying for CEOâs secretary, it must be for her younger brother, Syrus. Even if you are succeed in the application, after you join today, you have to go through another test of Jasmine. So you should be mentally prepared.â
Vivian heard Julianâs words and felt angry in her heart. She understood that he did not want Sarah to go to another company to work. She smiled and looked at Julian. âSister-in-law will definitely do the best. Donât worry.â
Sarah heard their conversation and blinked her eyes, but did not say anything. Christian looked at the two people in front of him indifferently.
Daphne saw that the atmosphere was very awkward and immediately smiled to smooth things over.
âVivian is right. Sarah will definitely not have any problem.â
Daphne then looked at Sarah and smiled. âYou must have a good breakfast. Although you are not working in our own company, you do not need to worry. I believe you can do your best.â
When she heard that Sarah was going to work in another company, she was the happiest person in the family. Christian was soldier. So in the future, the Cooper family business would inevitably fall in her son, Julianâs hands.
If Sarah continued to stay in the company, it would become an obstacle for her son.
âThank you, Aunt Daphne.â Sarah smiled at her.
Christian faintly looked at his stepmother opposite to him and lowered his head to continue eating.
There was something he didnât want to say. But just because he didnât want to say, it didnât mean that he didnât understand.
After breakfast, Sarah and Christian left the villa. After that Ethan also left in his car.
Julian came downstairs and prepared to leave for work as well. Vivian followed him to the car.
âArenât you going to give me a goodbye kiss?â Vivian reached out and wrapped her arms around Julianâs waist and gave him a spoiled look.
Julian smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He then patted his face. âGo back. Iâm going to work.â
Vivian was still hugging him and did not have a slightest intention of letting go. âCome back early after work. Donât think about other things.â
Julian looked at her face. In his heart, he actually understood her little thought. After a long while, he smiled. âDonât worry, other than you, I donât have anyone in my heart.â
âThatâs good!â Vivian tiptoed and kissed him again. âDrive carefully on the road.â
Julian sat in the car and looked at Julian and smiled. He then drove out of the villa.
Vivian saw Julianâs car disappeared from the sight, then turned around and walked into the living room.
Just a few steps away, she saw Daphne walking towards her.
âMom.â Vivian immediately sweetly called out. In this house, other than Julian, Daphne was the only one who would stand by her side.
Daphne looked at Vivian and smiled as she walked over. âWe just had a breakfast. Letâs go to the beach for a walk.â
âYes.â The pair of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law intimately held hands together and walked out of the villa. They walked along the road.
âVivian, you and Julian have been married for a week by now. I know during this period of time you must have been feeling wronged. If there is anything you are unhappy about, tell me. Donât keep it in your stomach. Okay?â
âMomâ¦â Daphneâs words made Vivian somewhat agitated. She lowered her head and tears could not help but falling down. She turned to her head to the side. âMom, Iâm fine.â
Daphne didnât expect her to cry so sadly. Seeing her tears falling uncontrollably, Daphne took out a tissue and handed to Vivian. âYou canât cry like this! This is not good for the child in your womb!â
When Vivian heard Daphneâs words, she cried even harder.
âQuickly stop crying. Vivian, I know you have felt wronged. Thatâs why I take to out grandson, can you stop crying first?â Daphneâs heard ached for her grandson in Vivianâs stomach.
Vivian cried excitedly for a while and after that she stopped crying. She looked at Daphne and lowered her head. âMom, Iâm sorryâ¦â
âWhat are you sorry for? It is not you who did something wrong! Our Julian has been spoiled by us since he is young. Sarah had followed him for nine years. Although the two of them were engaged, they were always like siblings. Others might not know, but as a mother, I know my son the best. He really had no feelings for Sarah. The reason why he still had some feeling towards her was because she married Christian. His heart is just unbalanced at this point. Can you understand?â
She had actually noticing her sonâs behavior all this time. She was worried that Vivian would take it to heart and something would happen to her grandson. So she took the later for a walk, to tell her the truth.
âMom, I know. I also understand. But you know I am only married to him for a week and I am also pregnant. You donât know, the night we got married, the person he shouted for in the middle of the night was Sister-in-law! He said he is sorry for Sarah and canât leave her! He also said that Big Brother and Sarah would definitely divorce. Now you tell me, on the wedding night, I hugged him but he shouted for another woman! How can I not take it to heart?â
At the end of her sentence, her eyes again filled with tears.
âVivian, donât blame him. After all, Sarah had been by his side for nine years. Think out it. Even if we raise a puppy or a kitten, after a long period of time, we develop some feelings towards them. Thatâs why he is just a little distracted. I can guaranty that after a long period of time, it will slowly become better. So donât think about it very much. It will affect the child.â
Vivian nodded in understanding. âMom, actually I understand what you say. Itâs easy for you to sayâ¦
We will spend rest of our lives with sister-in-law in the villa, even if Julian and I move out, Sarah is still his sister-in-law. We will never be able to chance this fact.â
Vivianâs face was full of disappointment as she looked at Daphne. âMom, actually I have thought of something in these two day. I will tell you today.â
âWhat?â
âI want to move out with Julian.â
Daphne frowned as she heard these words and directly rejected. âNo! You are almost six months pregnant now. It is more and more inconvenient for you to move around. If Julian leaves for the company, what will you do? If thereâs a bump something big will definitely happen! Absolutely not!â
Vivian answered with disappointment. âBut⦠now as long as I saw Sarah, I feel uncomfortable.â
As she spoke, she put her hand on her belly and said faintly. âI know I do not have any status in this family. I let Christian down and snatched Sarahâs fiancée. Dad never looked at me straight in the faceâ¦â
As she spoke she burst into tears. her body trembled with excitement.
âChild? Why are you crying again? Who told you that you do not have any status in the family? Now you are the most important person in the family!â
No matter how much Daphne did not like Sarah, even when she saw Vivian crying so sadly, she didnât dare to say that she wanted to chase Sarah out of the house.
Because in her heart, she knew very well that Sarah was in her husbandâs heart. That was Ethanâs bottom line. Once it was touched, it was very likely that he would fall out with her at all costs.
Vivian cried for a while and then looked at Daphne in embarrassment, âMom, Iâm sorryâ¦â
âLook at what is happening in our house. Vivian, actually you think too much. And your vision in too short and shallow!â
Vivian looked at Daphne in puzzlement. âMom?â
âActually think about it, Cooper family only has two children. One is Christian, and the other is Julian.
Christian is a soldier. He had never interfered in such a big business of Cooper family, because he was not interested in doing business. Let me tell you something, you are carrying a boy in your belly. As long as you endure everything now, and gave birth to the child, you can live a good life with Julian.â
âThe properties of Cooper family are definitely mine! You also know that Christian is no my son. It is not easy to be an stepmother. You can also see that Christian has always been prejudiced against me. So deep in my heart, I only see you as my daughter-in-law. So Vivian, what I say, do you understand?â
There were some things that she couldnât say too clearly, but she understood her own identity.
âMom, I understand!â
Vivianâs mood immediately became half better when she heard Daphneâs words. She looked at Daphne and squeezed out a smile. âMom, I will listen to you from now on!â
Daphne laughed when she heard this. âThis is a good child.â
Vivian looked at Daphne and also smiled. A crafty light flashed across her eyes.
