Chapter 103
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 103 Because He CanâT Stand Up You Want To Abandon Him?
Sarah sniffed and looked at Ethan. She choked and said, âDad, My mom told me that even if I didnât make an engagement with Julian nine years ago, my dad would still donate the cornea to him. Because at that time, Julian was in my dadâs heart. Itâs like a son. Furthermore, I was willing to marry Christian.
You donât owe anyone anything! If my father is still alive. . . he will not want you to think that way, right?â
Ethan heard Sarahâs words and nodded. He sighed again and said,â It is really his fortune that Christian can marry you. Sarah, although you said you were willing to make the decision, Dad still has to thank you! Thank you for marrying Christian! â
Sarah only smiled faintly and did not say anything else. There were some things that she really could not say, and she did not know what to say either. Some lies might be able to be said to others, but when faced with a father like Ethan, she really could not say it. . .
âSarah, today Dad has something to tell you.â
âDad, what is it?â
âItâs like this. Eleven days later, it will be Christianâs grandpaâs 80th birthday. I donât want to be too flamboyant this time, but my family still needs to celebrate. Donât forget to come back when the time comes.â
âOkay. But what about Christian? Will he come back?â Sarah asked without thinking.
âYou and he are husband and wife, so I wonât ask. Tell him. Ask him if he can come back or not. â
Sarah immediately nodded. âYes, yes.â
Although Ethan was very serious when facing his son, in front of Sarah, he always had a smile on his face. Therefore, the atmosphere for lunch was not bad. It was the first time Sarah ate alone with her father-in-law. She also slowly relaxed.
After lunch, Ethan insisted on sending Sarah home. Only then did he leave. Sarah stood at the entrance of the community and watched the luxurious car slowly disappear. She turned around and walked into the neighborhood.
She walked more than ten steps and thought that Christian should have just had lunch at this time. She remembered Ethanâs words, so she took out her phone and called Christian without thinking.
At this time, he received a call from his little wife. Christian naturally did not dare to be neglectful. He sat on the chair in the office and quickly picked up the phone.
âWife, you miss me, right?â When he thought of his little wife, he could not help but smile.
âWho missed you? Are you dreaming?â Sarah heard him call her so intimately again and could not help but laugh and joke with him.
âYes, I took a nap just now and actually had a dream. I dreamed that you gave me a call. I didnât expect that when I woke up, my dream would come true. â
Sarah heard his words and could not help but smile again, âAre you that happy?â
She had only taken the initiative to call him. She did not expect him to be so happy. Sarahâs mood also became better.
âI am especially happy. It is like eating honey. Do you know?â Regimental Commander Cooper grinned as he spoke.
âI did not expect Regimental Commander Cooper to have such a poor time. May I ask if you are Christian, Regimental Commander Cooper?â Sarahâs mischievous spirit came up and joked with him.
âIf it is fake, I will buy it.â
âAre you busy today?â
âYes, Iâm a little busy. I have to leave again in a while.â
âI ate with a man this afternoon. Guess who?â Sarah deliberately stopped smiling.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while. It was hard to guess the answer to this question.
âYour husbandâs IQ is low. He really canât guess.â Christian directly admitted defeat.
âHaha! You also have times when your intelligence is low? Let me tell you, I ate lunch with your dad this afternoon.â
âWith my dad? Heâs looking for you?â This was quite unexpected.
âYes, he told me that eleven days later will be grandpaâs 80th birthday, so I want to ask you now. Can you come back when the time comes?â
âOh. . .â Christian thought about the time. The second day after 11 days, wasnât it the day he and Sarah would go to settle the divorce procedures? He thought for a moment and then answered, âThe army is a little busy. They shouldnât be able to go back!â
Sarah was a little disappointed. âBut you are not coming back on such an important day? Grandpaâs 80th birthday was very rare. If grandpa heard this news, he will definitely be a little disappointed.â
âIt canât be helped! You also know that soldiers need to have a country first before having a family, right?â Regimental Commander Cooper even started to talk about reasoning.
âOkay, okay!â
âBut donât tell grandpa for now. Donât make him sad, okay?â Christian reminded her in a deep voice.
âOkay, I got it.â
âWife, I canât talk to you anymore. I have to go now. Iâll call you tonight.â
Sarah hung up and thought that Benjaminâs 80th birthday was after 11 days. She walked a few steps and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Eleven days!
Wasnât that the day before the agreement with Christian expired?
If Benjamin found out on the second day of his 80th birthday that his grandson had divorced his granddaughter-in-law, would he be able to withstand this blow?
When Sarah walked into the living room, she saw her mother sitting alone on the sofa, wiping her tears.
She immediately walked over nervously and sat beside her mother, asking nervously, âMom, Why are you crying? Is your body not feeling well again?â
She reached out to touch her motherâs forehead as she spoke. She did not feel very hot.
Samantha turned her face to look at Sarah and asked her with red and swollen eyes, âSarah, tell me the truth. Do you like David now? Is it because Christianâs health is not good that you want to abandon him?â
Sarah did not expect her mother to suddenly ask her this question. She looked at her mother nervously.
âMom, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly say these things? â
âSarah, I have also felt it these few days. The relationship between you and David is a little unusual. I know that Christianâs health is not good. He canât compare with David now, because he canât stand up.
But Sarah, since you are married to Christian now, you canât have a second heart.â
âJust now, Davidâs mom came to find me personally and told me that when she asked someone to introduce a girlfriend to David, he rejected all of them. He even said that he already has a girlfriend, but he turned around and ran to our house. There were already rumors about you two outside. If you continue to follow him like this, it probably wonât take more than a few days before reaching the ears of the people of Cooper Family. Arenât you embarrassing your mother?â
Sarah only knew that Davidâs mother had come after listening to her motherâs words. It seemed like she had said some unpleasant words. When she thought that her mother had been said because of her, she immediately lowered her head guiltily. âMom, Iâm sorry. . . â
âSigh, Sarah, although Mom has not studied for a few years, she also understood a principle. One must be loyal to marriage. If Christian knew what you did, what will he think?â
âAnd if your Dad was here and knew that you are leaving Christian behind when he needs you, what would he think?â
âMom. . . I know I was wrong. . .â Sarah lowered her head and twisted her fingers. Her heart was in a mess.
Samantha looked at her daughter and sighed, âDavid is also a good person. Donât make it sound bad when you tell him, okay?â
âYes, I understand.â
Sarah looked at the time and then stood up. âI will hang up the drip again today. Letâs go! We can go by ourselves. Donât bother David anymore. â
When David called Sarah in the afternoon, he found out that the mother and daughter had gone to the hospital by themselves. He originally wanted to go and take a look, but Sarah said that she had gone home, so David did not think much about it.
Although David felt a little repulsed, the next morning, he still saw Mila again. However, this time, her mother did not come. She came alone. Because Mrs. Brown was not at the scene, the two of them chatted more easily.
Mila looked at David opposite her and smiled. âI knew we would meet again. But I didnât expect it to be so fast.â
âReally? I didnât expect you to have foresight!â
âHow is it? Do you agree with the suggestion I suggested last time?â Mila smiled and asked him.
âI can consider it, but we must discuss the details, right?â
Mila smiled and snapped her fingers. Her eyes rolled and she said: âI donât think there are any details, right? Arenât we just playing boyfriend and girlfriend in front of each otherâs parents? As long as we do these things well, we wonât interfere in other aspects, how about it?â
David heard that what she said made some sense and nodded in agreement. âAlright! Weâll do as you say!â
âOh right, whatâs your girlfriendâs name? You have to tell me that, right? Iâll pretend to be in love with you in the future. If she saw us, wouldnât that be causing trouble for you? Donât you agree? â
David thought for a moment, then looked at her and said slowly, âYou donât need to know the name. I donât think you will meet. There was one more thing. I will only play with you for half a month. After half a month, weâll have nothing to do with each other anymore. â
âSo soon? I thought it would take half a year.â Mila pouted in disappointment.
âIf you donât agree, then our agreement will be voided.â Davidâs tone could not be questioned.
âAlright, alright! Half a month, half a month! At most, Iâll find another one.â Mila magnanimously waved her hand, agreeing to Davidâs suggestion.
âIf there is nothing else, you can leave now.â David did not want others to misunderstand.
Mila nodded and stood up from the sofa. âOkay! Oh, right. Tonight, Iâm going to watch a movie with my boyfriend. If your mother asks, donât say anything wrong.â
âOkay! Whatâs the name of the movie?â
âI donât know what to watch right now. Iâll tell you when the time comes.â Mila said as she lifted her foot and walked out of Davidâs office.
After breakfast the next day, Sarah carried her bag out of the door. She then walked out of the neighborhood and wanted to go to the nearby bus station to take a bus to the company. Fortunately, the bus station was only a few hundred meters away from home. She arrived in a short while after walking.
However she was about to go to the station when she saw Davidâs BMW parked at the roadside in front of her. It was as if he had also seen Sarah. He stuck his head out of the window and gestured to Sarah to get in the car.
