Chapter 99
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 99 DonâT Tell Me That Sarah Is Your Girlfriend Sarahâs heart warmed with his words. She was completely moved. But now she was at her home.
Being hugged by him like this made her uncomfortable.
She reached out and pushed him away, âMy mother is still in the room.â
David let go of her and smiled. âHow is Auntie?â
âMuch better.â
âI will take her to the hospital with you in the afternoon to get an IV drop. I will make delicious food for you this afternoon.â
David picked up the stuff he brought and walked into the kitchen as he spoke. Sarah followed him in.
The expression on his face looked like the male owner of this house. Her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
David ran a restaurant so it was very easy for him to make a sumptuous lunch. In less than an hour, he made a table full of dishes and placed it on the table.
Samantha wasnât feeling well. But she insisted on eating some. When they were eating lunch, Samantha saw David continuously picking food for Sarah. She could more or less feel the unusual atmosphere between the two of them, but she didnât say anything.
After lunch, Samantha returned to her room. When she went in, she called Sarah in.
Once the mother and daughter entered the room, Samantha motioned to close the door before walking to the bedside and lying down.
Sarah closed the door and sat beside her mother. She gently held her motherâs hand and asked, âMom, what do you want to say?â
Samantha looked at her and asked, âSarah, what do you think about David?â
âHeâs quite good. He is handsome and has a good temper. Furthermore, he has a successful career now.â
Samantha nodded. âYes, David is a rare good person. Ever since you have been away, he often came to see me. Every time he came, he would take some things. Sometimes I think⦠If I had such a son, how happy would I be?â
Samantha had a very good person of David.
âHe is indeed a good person. But why are you suddenly talking about this?â
Samantha looked at her thoughtfully and slowly said, âDavid is a good young man. But we canât order him around like this. After all, you are married and you have a husband. David is still single. If he comes here often, it will make gossip. When it happens, what will I answer to Christian and his family?
So in the future, you try to keep some distance from him.â
Samanthaâs words made her feel uncomfortable, but she also understood that her motherâs words made sense. When she thought of she and Christian would be break up in half a monthâs time, she nodded. âMom, Iâll listen to you.â
As long as she persisted for half a month, all of her problems would be solved.
David was not an outsider. He was someone who had liked her for nine years.
But these words could not be said now.
Samantha nodded and looked at her, âHow have you been in Cooper family during this period of time?
Have you been well?â
Sarah smiled when she heard this, âMom, I am pretty good. Christianâs family is very considerate of me.â
âYes, with Ethan around, I know others will not treat you badly. Where is Christian? How is he?â
âHe treats me very well.â
âThen why didnât he come back with you? Didnât he take half a year break?â Samantha looked at Sarah in puzzlement.
âHe received a call from army and went back. He said he had something important to do and would come back in half a monthâs time. So I will stay here in this period of time. When he comes back, I will go with him.â Sarah dodged Samanthaâs gaze as she spoke.
âThatâs good. How is Christianâs leg?â
âItâs pretty good. Mom, you donât know. Christian can now walk with crutches. When the people of Cooper family saw him that night, they were very happy. He would be able to walk like a normal person in a short period of time.â
âReally? Thatâs great. I always thought Christianâs legs wouldnât be able to stand up for the rest of his life.â
When Samantha heard this news, she instantly became excited. From the day Sarah married Christian, she had always felt guilty towards her daughter. She did not expect that it had only been a short period of time, Christianâs leg would be healed. How can she not be excited?
She held her daughterâs hand tightly, as tears flowed out. âSarah, I am really too happy. In the future, you have to treat Christian well.â Samanthaâs tears flowed as she said with great emotion. âYou dad in heaven will be very happy seeing you and Christian happy together.â
Sarah helped her mother wipe her tears and patted her hand. But her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
âLet David go back first. He has such a big hotel and he is very busy. You have to thank him when he leaves.â Samantha reminded again.
âOkay, Mom you can rest first. Iâm going out.â Sarah stood up obediently.
âIâm fine. Go quickly.â
Sarah nodded, got up and walked out. She saw that David had already cleaned up all the food in the kitchen and even the dining table. She immediately walked over.
âMr. David.â
David walked in front and smiled. âIs your mother fine?â
âSheâs fine. She is just felt that she is always troubling you. She felt a little apologetic in her heart.â
âSheâs too polite.â David smiled.
âYou have been busy for so long today. Go back and rest for a while.â Sarah really could not say some words.
âOkay. Then you should also have a good sleep. I will come over to pick you up at around five oâ clock to bring Auntie to the hospital.â
Sarah nodded and didnât say anything.
David left Sarahâs house and drove back to the hotel. The moment he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa and drinking water. David walked over with a smile.
âMom, why are you here?â David walked over as he spoke.
Hearing this, Mrs. Brown instantly became furious. She smashed the cup to the ground.
âSuch a good girl, why donât you like her? Do you know what Milaâs father does? He is from the city government. Her mother is a university professor. Why donât you even talk to her? Iâm so angry!â
The more Mrs. Brown spoke, the angrier she became.
âMom, Iâm already so old. I have my own aesthetic sense. No matter how beautiful Mila is, that has nothing to do with me. I have a girlfriend. Itâs not convenient to bring her to you now. Give me some time. Iâll definitely give you a satisfactory daughter-in-law.â There were some things that he could not say right now.
âYou have your own girlfriend? David, you wonât tell me that your girlfriend is Sarah, right? If it is her, I wonât agree to anything no matter what! You better give up in this idea!â
âMom, whatâs wrong with Sarah? Didnât you always like her?â David asked his mother.
âWhatâs wrong with me saying this? Isnât it obvious now? She is already married. And she is married to a cripple. Her mother is really⦠How can she bear to marry her only daughter to a cripple just for money? Canât you see it?â
Ever since Mrs. Brown found out Sarah was marrying Christian, she could not understand Samantha.
âMom, Auntie has her own difficulties. Donât talk about her like that!â
âOkay. Even if your Auntie has her difficulties, it doesnât change the fact that Sarah is already married!
You are a bachelor and run to her house every day. Arenât you afraid of others gossiping about you?â
âMom, didnât I often eat at Auntieâs house when I was young? At that time, we had a very good relationship with her family. What happened to you now?â Hearing his mother talk about Sarah like this, David was a little unhappy in his heart.
âDonât think that no one knows that you went to Sarahâs house. The neighborhood they live in is not far from us. I know some of the people inside. Many of them are saying that, your relationship with Sarah is not simple. You go to her house every day like this, my face has already been thrown away by you.â
âI know. In the future, I will try my best to keep a distance with her. But regarding the blind date, you donât have to worry about me anymore.â
He could not reveal the agreement between Christian and Sarah. Anyway, their marriage was only for a few days. At most, he would insist.
âNo! You must go on a blind date! Donât you know how old you are?â Mrs. Brown immediately retorted when she heard his words. During this period of time, she was constantly hearing the rumors about her son and Sarah. She really could not hold back anymore.
âMom, I know my own matters!â
âWhen we go back today, I will call Milaâs mother again. You should prepare yourself mentally!â
âMom, I donât like her at all. Can you stop meddling in my matters?â David looked at his mother helplessly.
âIâm your mother. I gave birth to you because I hope you can live a good life. Sarah is a good girl, but she is already married. I do not want you to ruin other peopleâs marriage.â
