Chapter 238
The Contract Marriage
Vivian looked at Benjamin and introduced him to Ruby, âThis is Grandpa.â
âHello, Grandpa.â
Daphne saw that this girl was quite quick-witted and nodded her head in satisfaction, âEn, not bad. This little girl is quite quick-witted.â
Vivian saw Daphneâs expression and immediately smiled, âMom, I did not even inform you before bringing her here. You will not be angry with me, right?â
Daphne magnanimously waved her hand. âLook at what you are saying. Our family can afford to hire a maid. Besides, youâre pregnant now. Thereâs nothing wrong with finding someone to take care of you as you wish. Alright, Ruby, right?â
âMadam, Yes.â Ruby immediately smiled and nodded.
âFrom today onwards, you are only responsible for Vivianâs daily meals. You can just let Hannah and Lea do the other things at home.â
âThank you, Madam.â
Vivian looked at Daphne being so straightforward and she was also very happy, âMom, thank you so much.â
Daphne immediately looked at her reproachfully, âThis child, what is he saying? You are now our familyâs treasure. We will do whatever you want as long as it is not a loss to you. It will not be a loss to my grandson.â
If Vivian was not pregnant, Daphne might have let Ruby leave. But the current Vivian was carrying her precious grandson in her womb.
Furthermore, the Cooper Family was so big. Not to mention hiring a maid, even if she hired another ten or twenty maids, it wouldnât be a problem. Of course, she would only do them a favor that went with the flow.
âMom, we happen to have a guest room on the third floor. I want Ruby to stay next to our bedroom. Is that okay?â Rubyâs room was closer to his. If she had anything to say, she could call her.
âOkay, okay. Anyway, that room is also empty. As long as you feel that it is suitable, let Ruby stay there.â
âThank you, Mom. Then I will bring her up first.â Vivian immediately raised her hand when she heard that and Ruby understood and walked over. She supported Vivian and stood up from the sofa.
Daphne looked at this small detail and nodded her head in satisfaction, âEn, letâs go. Letâs go upstairs to take a look. . .â
Ruby immediately looked at Daphne and bowed again, âThank you, Madam.â
After saying that, she helped Vivian up the stairs.
Daphne looked at the back of this girl and nodded her head in satisfaction.
Ruby supported Vivian all the way up to the third floor.
Vivian first brought her back to her room. Seeing that Ruby was dressed in a somewhat shabby manner, she found a few pieces of clothing that were slightly lower quality for Ruby to change into and then brought Ruby to the guest room by the side.
âFrom today onwards you will be staying in this room. Just now my mother-in-law has also said that from today onwards you can only take care of my daily necessities. But if it is something that Madam wants you to do, you still have to do it, understand?â
âI will remember Sister Vivian.â
âBy the way, do you have a phone?â
Ruby shook her head, âNo.â
âToday I will ask your brother-in-law to buy one for you. Alright, Vivian got up and went back to her room.
âYes.â
Julian received a call from Vivian at noon, saying that she wanted him to bring a new phone. A normal one would do.
Julian did not ask much about Vivianâs request. It was just assistant Lucas to buy one for him. He brought it home at night.
Julianâs car stopped in the courtyard of the villa. He walked and reached the door of the living room when he suddenly saw Ruby walking down.
This girl looked like she was in her early twenties. Although there was no makeup on her face, she was very beautiful. The clothes on her body looked like they were worn by Vivian a long time ago, however when they were now worn by her, they had a different effect.
Julianâs eyes flashed. He lifted his foot and walked into the living room.
âWho are you?â Julian saw her Ruby saw Julianâs eyes and immediately lowered her head with Daphne walking over from the side.
Daphne saw Julian and introduced Ruby with a smile, âJulian, her name is Ruby, the daughter of Vivianâs uncle. She doesnât have much work to do at home, so she followed Vivian to our house for a while. The main thing is to serve Vivian.â
Julian nodded in understanding. He raised his hand and passed the new phone to her. âIt seems that the phone is bought for you. Itâs brand new. Take it and use it.â
Ruby immediately took it gratefully. âThank you, Brother-in-law.â
Julian looked at her and smiled. âWhere is Vivian?â
âSheâs upstairs.â
Julian nodded and walked upstairs. After a while, he âWhereâs the phone?â Vivian saw âDid you bring Ruby back?â Julian pretended not to know and asked again.
âYes, she is my uncleâs daughter. Anyway, She has nothing to do at home, so I let her come. You also know that it will be more and more inconvenient for me to act later on, so I want to find someone to take care of me. You are the CEO of the Cooper Group. Donât tell me you donât even give me this little bit of power?â
Vivian was worried that he would get Julian walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He raised his hand and smiled as he pinched her face. âWhat a joke. It was not difficult for the wife of the president of Cooper Group to find a servant. I think this girl is quite honest. There should be no problem to let her stay.â
Vivian smiled and joked with him. âWhy are âWhat are you saying? No matter how bad my taste is, I canât possibly take a fancy to a maid, right?
Your husband is the CEO of Cooper Group, okay? If I really want a woman, which one do you think is worse than a servant girl?â
Julian immediately stood up and raised his hand to Vivian looked at his expression and Even though that Ruby was not bad looking, but thinking about it, it made sense. No matter how bad Julianâs taste was, he would not take a fancy to her. After all, Rubyâs identity was there. No matter how thirsty Julian was, he would not find his own maid to have sex.
âIs there anyone who would joke around like you?â Julian immediately put on an angry expression.
Vivian smiled and felt relieved about him. âI am just testing you. Since you say so, I am relieved.â
Julian looked at her and walked to the wardrobe to take a set of casual clothes to change into. As he changed, he asked Vivian, âBy the way, where did you arrange for her to stay?â
âIn the guest room next door.â
Julianâs eyes flashed intensely in an instant, but he still maintained his calm emotions and said slowly, âItâs too close to our room, isnât it? Will I disturb your rest? â
âWhatâs there to disturb? Sheâs just a single person, not a burden. Donât worry. Sheâs quite quiet.â
Only then did Julian nod his head. âYes, thatâs good.â
â¦
Although Sarah stayed in the VIP ward and there was a bedroom to rest in, Christian still stayed by Sarahâs side for the whole night.
Christian would wake up a few times at night to touch Sarahâs forehead or to help her cover up her blanket. Seeing that she had been sleeping soundly, he felt relieved.
When Sarah woke up the next day, she saw that Christian was no longer by her side. When she heard the sound of flowing water coming from the bathroom, she smiled at ease.
When Christian came out, he saw that his little wife had woken up. He immediately went back to the bathroom and took a basin of warm water out. He also put a clean towel and carried it to the bedside.
âDid you sleep well last night?â As Christian spoke, he soaked the towel and wiped off the water. He used it to wipe Sarahâs face first. When he saw the injury on her forehead, a touch of pain slid across his heart.
âI slept very well. I even had a dream.â Sarah looked at Christian and smiled sweetly.
Christian deliberately said. âYou had a dream? You must have seen me in your dream, right?â
âNot at all. Why should I see you in my dream? Chiefâs lethality is getting smaller and smaller. You have to work hard.â Sarah replied with a smile.
âSigh. . . I really didnât expect you to change your love so quickly.â Christian held the towel and shook his head in disappointment.
Sarah rolled her eyes. âBut I really dreamed of a handsome man last night. . .â
âWhat handsome guy? Is he as handsome as your husband?â
âCheh. Heâs much more handsome than you, alright?â
âNo way. What exactly does he look like? Quickly tell me.â
Christian wiped Sarahâs face as he spoke. After he finished wiping her face, he also wiped her hands clean. When he reached out to wipe her arms, he suddenly stopped.
Christian saw that her arm had been cast with plaster and the injuries on her body were clearly very serious. But ever since he came back, she hadnât shed a single tear at herself.
Christian felt as if his heart had been sliced by a knife. However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he still had to look at his wife and smile.
While the two of them were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open. David and Jasmine walked in one after another.
Seeing that Christian was wiping Sarahâs face and hands, Jasmine smiled and walked over. âOh, Commander still does this kind of thing?â
Christian heard Jasmineâs words and smiled, âIsnât this kind of thing what I should do?â
Sarah saw the two of them and smiled happily. âMs. Jasmine, Mr. David.â
David put the things in his hands on the coffee table at the side and then walked to Sarahâs bedside with a smile. Seeing her covered in injuries, he asked her with heartache, âSarah, are you feeling better?â
âYes, I am much better. You donât have to worry about me.â
Jasmine sat down on the other side. âIt has only been a few days and you are already much better? If there is any discomfort anywhere, you have to say it out loud. Donât keep holding it in, okay?â
âYes, Ms. Jasmine. Donât worry. I wonât.â
Christian put the basin and towel into the bathroom and then walked out again. David looked at him and asked, âHow many days of vacation did Military Commander Cooper take?â
