Chapter 208
The Contract Marriage
The car moved further and further away from Christianâs sight until it completely disappeared. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He lifted his foot and walked towards the military camp.
The car quickly drove out of the military camp and drove down the winding mountain road.
Sarah quietly sat beside David. She kept looking out the window and tears kept rolling down her face.
After a few months of separation, she did not expect her attachment to him to become even stronger.
So much so that when she left, she would be so reluctant to part with him.
A tissue was handed over and placed in her palm.
âYou cried like this in front of me. Donât you know how to take care of my feelings?â David looked at Sarah, who was beside him, and joked with her.
Sarah heard what he said and lowered her head in embarrassment. She picked up a tissue to wipe her tears.
Sarah looked up at David, who was beside her, and apologetically said, âMr. David, I made you laugh again. . .â
David smiled. âSilly girl, what did you say to me? Donât cry. Actually, Military Commander Cooper is even more upset than you. He could not see anyone here. You are pregnant now. It was the time when he needed to take care of you the most, but he could not leave this place. It was a pity for a man. He was a soldier, there were many things that he couldnât do just because he wanted to. Do you know?â
Sarah nodded in embarrassment. âYes, I know. . . I just canât control my emotions. . .â
âI understand. You are a very emotional girl to begin with. But when we got home, give him a good call.â
Actually, he could still understand the bitterness in Christianâs heart. As a man, when his wife needed to be taken care of the most, he could not do anything. His heart wouldnât be any better.
âOkay, I got it. Thank you, Mr. David.â Sarah looked at David gratefully.
âSilly girl. Am I not your brother? This is what I should do.â
Sarah pursed her lips and nodded silently, hiding her gratitude in her heart.
The car drove for about an hour before it stopped at the entrance of the airport hall. David took Sarahâs luggage and let Christianâs driver leave.
Seeing the off-road vehicle go far away, he picked up his luggage and walked into the airport lobby with Sarah.
About two hours later, Sarah and Davidâs flight landed in City S.
Not long after, Sarah walked out from the exit behind David. She had not even taken a few steps, when she saw Jasmine standing not far away. Jasmine was looking at the two of them with a smile.
Sarah looked at Jasmine who was standing in front of her and was slightly stunned.
âLetâs go. I was the one who called her.â David looked at Sarah, who was beside him, and smiled. He took her to Jasmineâs side.
When she heard what David said, Sarah felt slightly relieved in her heart.
âVice President, hello. . .â Sarah was a little nervous as she greeted Jasmine. She was afraid that Jasmine would misunderstand her relationship with Mr. David.
Jasmine smiled and walked over to grab Sarahâs arm. The three of them walked towards the exit of the airport hall together.
âHow do you feel after staying there for five days?â Jasmine asked as she walked. The expression on her face was different from that of the high and mighty Vice President of Wilson Group.
âVice President, donât misunderstand. I just went to see my husband. . be explained to Jasmine no matter what, lest it cause David unnecessary trouble.
Jasmine and David heard what she said and looked at each other and smiled. âI know you went to your husbandâs army. Didnât you live there for five days? How was it?â
When she heard Jasmineâs words, Sarahâs heart immediately relaxed. She looked at Jasmine and smiled. âPretty good! If Mr. David left me there for a few more days, I donât think I would want to come back.â
David smiled and teased her, âWho is the one crying with snot and tears this time?â
Sarah giggled, âI was worried that I will disturb his work. . .â
David heard her words and smiled. The three of them went out of the airport together and sat in the car Jasmine drove in. They quickly drove towards Sarahâs motherâs house.
The car quickly drove into Sarahâs neighborhood and stopped in front of her house. David got out of the car first and went to the trunk to get Sarahâs luggage.
Sarah looked at Jasmine in front of her and said, âVice President, please come to our house. Tonight, you and Mr. David can have dinner with us at our house.â
Jasmine looked back at her and smiled. âNo need. Go up quickly. In the future, when there is a chance, I will come to your house as a guest.â
âOkay, then I will go back first.â Sarah understood that Jasmine definitely wanted to be alone with David now, so she tactfully got out of the car.
Seeing that David had already taken down her suitcase, she shook her hand at Jasmine through the window before following David into the unit door.
Sarah followed behind David. When they walked to the third floor, Sarah called out to David, âMr.
David.â
âWhatâs the matter? Canât walk anymore?â David first put the suitcase in front of Sarahâs house and then returned to look at her.
Sarah smiled and shook her head, looking at David with a bit of anticipation. âNo, I want to ask if you and Vice President have already started dating?â
David heard her words and smiled. âYou gave me a scare. I thought something big happened.â
âThen tell me.â Sarah acted like a little sister when he did not answer her question.
âDo you like her?â David did not answer her question, but looked at her and asked back.
âYes. Of course I like her. Sometimes, I feel that I am too weak as a person. If only I could be like her in the future!â If she had the same personality as Jasmine, Julian and Vivian would definitely not bully her.
âDo you really like it? Donât say flattering words!â David deliberately put on a stern face and asked her when he heard her.
âOf course Iâm telling you the truth. I want you to find your own happiness. The vice president has a strong personality because it has something to do with her living environment. In addition to some of her personal factors, she always gave off a feeling of superiority. But those things can be changed.
Actually, what I like the most is that although the Vice President was born in a wealthy family, she is kind-hearted and is not a bad person. Mr. David, what do you think?â
After Sarah finished speaking, she blinked her eyes and asked David if he had any feelings for Jasmine.
David smiled. âYou have already said it, what else can I say? Donât worry. I have already thought it through. You donât need to think about other things for now. If I really have fate with her, I will definitely be together with her. Your most important task right now is to take care of yourself. I am still waiting to be an uncle. You donât have to think about anything else, understand?â
âYes, I understand.â Sarah heard his words and nodded.
After knocking on the door, Samantha walked over and opened the door. David put Sarahâs luggage in the living room and then went downstairs after greeting the mother and daughter.
David quickly got into Jasmineâs car and left Sarahâs residential area.
Samantha stood on the balcony and watched the flashy sports car drive away. She looked car is that?
Didnât David send you back? Why does it look like a woman is driving inside?â
âMom, thatâs our Vice President. She went to the airport to bring Mr. David and me back today.â
âVice President? When did you become so important? The Vice President personally went to the airport to pick you up?â Samantha heard her daughterâs words and smiled as she walked to the sofa and sat down.
âMom, itâs not that I have a lot of face. Itâs Mr. David who has a lot of face. Our Vice President likes Mr.
David. Aiya, I really hope they can get together.â
Jasmine was the kind of beautiful and charismatic girl. Other than her temper being a little stronger, she was really a good match for David.
âReally?â Samantha was surprised when she heard that. âIf David could really be with her, that would be great. After the last time your Aunt Brown came to find me, even when I see her now, I still feel that I canât raise my head. . .â
Sarah heard her motherâs words and smiled apologetically. âMom, that is a matter of years. Why are you still mentioning it?â
âCan I not mention it? I thought you were having an affair.â
âHaha! Mom, do you really think your daughter is so charming?â
âOf course! If my daughter is not charming, why would a man like Christian like you?â Samantha was in a good mood today. She smiled and joked with Sarah.
âMom, you are not modest at all!â Sarah heard her motherâs words and smiled. She dragged her suitcase and unzipped it. She took out some of the specialties Christian had prepared for her and put them on the coffee table.
âMom, these are all prepared by Christian. You can divide them into two parts. Take some to Aunt Brown. If I give it to Mr. David, he definitely wonât accept it.â
Samantha nodded her head approvingly. âThatâs right. You went to Christianâs army and grew up when you came back!â
Sarah smiled. âMom, is there anyone who praises their daughter like that?â
âWhy not? Am I not the first one?â Samantha smiled as she separated the specialties on the coffee table and put them into her handbag. When she felt that it was about time, she carried them and left the house.
Sarah stood on the balcony and saw her mother walking further and further away from her line of sight.
She walked back to the sofa and sat down. She took out her phone and dialed Christianâs number.
Fortunately, Military Commander Cooper was not too busy this time, so the call went through.
âBaby, youâre home?â Christian couldnât wait to pick up the phone when he saw his wifeâs number.
âBaby, Iâm home!â Sarah answered like he did. It was the first time she had called him that. She couldnât help but laugh.
She was a little curious about what reaction Military Commander Cooper would have when he heard the name.
When Christian heard her call him that, he was slightly stunned. Then he laughed loudly. âHaha! That name is too nice! Your husband has never been called that since he was born. Baby, you are unprecedented, and no one ever came after you. Let me hear it again.â
Although it was just a title, Christianâs heart was filled with joy.
Sarah might not have noticed it but in the few days when the two of them had been together, his little wife had become less and less distant from him. She had already started to joke with him, and had also started to act like a spoiled child.
It was this kind of change made him feel indescribably happy in his heart. He also liked her even more.
