Chapter 270
The Contract Marriage
Mrs. Holmes saw her daughterâs look and immediately walked over to stop Daphne. âMrs. Cooper, I think we should not let Stephen go. Sarah also has a child. If we carry Stephen over, weâll snatch milk from Sarahâs daughter. Although she did not say it verbally, she must be unhappy in her heart. I think we should let Stephen learn how to drink milk powder.â
Daphne heard what she said and smiled, âMrs. Holmes, you think too much. You do not know the little girl Sarah gave birth to. Her appetite is very small and she canât even eat the milk of a single side.
What was there to be afraid of if Stephen went to eat? Besides, even if she was wronged, she couldnât let the child be wronged, right? And if we wouldnât let Stephen eat, weâll just watch him cry?â
After Daphne finished speaking, she carried Stephen and left without looking back.
âMrs. Cooper!â Mrs. Holmes walked out of the door and called out Daphne unwillingly but Daphne did not react at all. She carried Stephen to Sarahâs delivery room.
Mrs. Holmes returned to the room gloomily and looked at her sulking daughter on the bed before closing the door.
âHannah! Go and take a look!â Vivian looked at Hannah by the side and quickly instructed.
âYes!â Hannah immediately nodded her head and quickly went out to chase after Daphne.
Seeing the door close, Vivian then looked at her mother and complained, âMom. Seriously, you are already at the door. If you donât snatch the child over, wouldnât Stephen be addicted to eating like this?â
Because it was a laparotomy, she could not get off the bed yet. So she could only watch Daphne carry the child away. When she thought about the child looking for Sarah again, Vivianâs heart was really filled with unspeakable depression.
Mrs. Holmes also said with some grievance, âItâs not like you didnât see it just now? Did your mother-in-
law give me a chance? Listen to what she said. What can I say?â
Vivian bit her lips gloomily and pinched the corner of her blanket hatefully, âLet him eat today then. No matter what, we canât let her carry the child over tomorrow.â
Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and sighed. âSigh, you said so. When the child cries, what do you think we should do? She is the childâs grandmother. You canât not let her come and see Stephen!â
âWe canât go on like this! We have to think of a way no matter what!â Vivian said unwillingly.
Mrs. Holmes shook her head and was silent for a moment before looking at her. âBy the way, you said that Stephen did not eat your milk. Will Simona eat it?â
âMom, what are you thinking? Even if she can eat it, we canât let her eat it!â Vivian said ruthlessly.
âWhat are you saying?â Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter speechlessly.
âBy the way, Mom, why donât you go back tonight? This way, I can let mother-in-law go back tomorrow.
As long as she isnât here, I will let the child drink milk no matter what!â
âBut tomorrow, if she wonât leave, what will you do?â
âThen you can go back tonight and help me think of a way to prevent her from coming to the hospital.â
Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and immediately stood up unhappily, âThink about it yourself.
What you are doing now is enough to be struck by lightning. I donât want to die and go to hell! These two days I donât dare to speak anymore. I canât even sleep well at night. It is all a nightmare!â
Although Mrs. Holmes also helped her daughter, she had a feeling of unease in her heart. She always had nightmares at night.
Looking at her motherâs expression, Vivian also knew that she did not feel good in her heart. She hurriedly eased up her expression and reached out to grab her motherâs hand and said, feeling wronged, âMom, if I could give birth, I would not do such a thing. But now that Iâve done it, I canât turn back. If you donât help me now. . . Then Iâll definitely be sentenced!â
âSentenced? Is it that serious?â When Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words, she immediately became nervous.
âThink about it. This is not a small matter. Of course, I will be sentenced. At that time, if I go to jail, Cooper Family will definitely chase me out. How will you and Dad live in the future? So you must not give up, understand?â Seeing that her mother was regretting, Vivian immediately said pitifully.
Mrs. Holmes sighed, âSigh, what kind of sin is this? Donât worry. No matter how much I feel, I canât back out.â
When she heard her daughter say that she would go to jail, Mrs. Holmes could only nod her head and agree. No matter what, this was also her daughter. Even if Vivian was wrong, she could only follow her daughter and walk the dark path.
âThen you can go back today. Come back tomorrow.â
âOkay!â Mrs. Holmes nodded and stood up. She packed her clothes and went home.
When Daphne carried Stephen over again, Sarah looked at When she saw him eating happily in her arms during this period of time, she was so engrossed that she forgot that he was Vivianâs son. She liked to lower her head to look at him when he was eating.
Because he had just been born, His small hands Stephen, who was enjoying his meal, would open his However, he would still close his eyes and eat very hard with his little mouth.
Daphne was reluctant to take a step away and sat beside Sarahâs bed. She looked at her grandsonâs face that was immersed in his meal and smiled in satisfaction.
âSarah, it is fortunate that you and Vivian gave birth together this time. Otherwise, this child would not even have a place to drink milk and could only drink milk powder.â After the matter of milk, Daphne was unable to express her gratitude towards Sarah.
âAunt Daphne, this is also not a big matter. You mother-in-lawâs words and looked down at Stephen who was in her arms.
She did not know if this little guy had heard his grandmotherâs words, but he turned his face away with his mouth holding the breast. He looked here and there and seemed to feel that it had nothing to do with him, so he closed his eyes and went to eat his afternoon meal.
Daphne smiled and saw that there was no trace of Samantha in the room. She asked somewhat puzzledly, âSarah, where did your mother go?â
âChristian was afraid that my mother would be too tired and let her go home first tonight.â
âOh. . . I see. . .â Daphne nodded and looked at Christian who was taking care of the little girl by the side and walked over.
âChristian, let me hug Simona!â Although she was also the granddaughter, Now she saw the girl with her dark eyes looking curiously at the place. That pink little face was also indescribably cute. Daphne wanted to hold her.
Christian smiled and handed the child in his arms to Daphne.
Daphne looked at Simona and smiled. She lowered her head and kissed her is really beautiful. When she grows up, she will definitely be a big beauty.â
After saying that, she looked at Christian who was at the side. âDoes she make a fuss at night?â
âShe is very obedient. If she cries, it is because she is hungry. As long as she is full, she will fall asleep on her own.â
âAiya, this child is so good!â Daphne carried Simona and walked back and forth in the room. She looked at Christian and said slowly, âChristian, look, I just came over. Can you go and see your father now? When you come back, tell me. Just now when I came, I let Vivianâs mother go home. I will stay here this afternoon to take care of Stephen. I canât get away for a while. . .â
Actually, she had something to say to Sarah.
Christian naturally had no reason to reject this kind of thing. He looked at Daphne and nodded. âOkay! I will go now!â
After saying that, he greeted his wife and left Sarahâs delivery room.
Daphne was just about to speak when she saw Hannah walk in again. She immediately frowned and said, âWhy are you here?â
Hannah lowered her head nervously and said, âI came to see Little Master and Miss!â
âYou can go back first! I am chatting with Young Madam. It is not convenient for you to be here!â
Daphne directly opened her mouth to chase Hannah away.
âBut. . .â Hannah did not want to leave.
Daphne saw that Hannah was standing there without moving and immediately frowned, âYou do not understand what I am saying right?â
âYes! Madam!â Hannah did not dare to say anything and immediately nodded her head and withdrew from Sarahâs delivery room.
Daphne carried Simona to the door and waved at her, âQuickly go back and take care of Young Madam!â
âYes!â Hannah originally wanted to stay at the door to listen but when she saw Daphne, she did not dare to stay any longer and immediately walked away.
Daphne watched her walk away before returning to the delivery room. She first closed the door of the room and then put Simona in her arms on the baby bed.
Seeing that this child was very obedient and playing by herself, she smiled and walked to Sarahâs bedside to sit down.
âSarah, I want to discuss something with you. . .â
Sarah looked at Stephen in her arms and then looked at Daphne and nodded, âAunt Daphne, if you have anything to say then say it. . . â
âI think so. You see Vivianâs milk is not good. Stephen does not drink milk powder and now you and Vivian are both in the hospital. This is close, and Stephen still has milk to eat. But when you are discharged from the hospital and return to your motherâs house, Stephen canât eat even if he wanted to. Sigh. . .â
After Daphne said that, she thought of her grandsonâs following days and could not help but frown and sigh.
âAunt Daphne, what do you want to say? â
âSarah, actually I also know that you are unhappy with Vivian because of Julianâs matter. But Stephen is Julianâs son after all. Can you not go back to your motherâs house for the sake of Stephen being a child? After you are discharged from the hospital, can you go back to the villa? I promise you that I will let someone take care of you!â
After Daphne finished speaking, she looked at Sarah who was silent and did not speak. She continued, âNow your father is in this kind of situation again. If something happens to Stephen again, how am I going to live?â
As Daphne spoke, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Sarah heard what Daphne said and immediately said, âAunt Daphne, donât be anxious. I need to discuss this matter with my mother and Christian. Can you give me some time?â
âReally? Thatâs great!â Daphneâs face immediately lit up when she heard that.
âMy mom always felt that I have to go home after I discharge from the hospital, so no matter what, I have to discuss this with her.â
âHow about this? During this period of time when you are recovering, let your mother live in our house.
Anyway, Christian will be leaving soon, so let your mother stay in the villa for a while. Wait until you recovered for a month before going back. Do you think this will work?â
What happened at noon today had always made Daphne feel uncomfortable. She also knew that Vivian definitely did not like Sarah to feed Stephen. But Daphne really felt sorry for her grandson and did not care about Vivianâs mood.
âThen. . . Will it work?â Sarah was a little at a loss as to what to do.
âSure! Why not? We have plenty of rooms in our house. If your mother takes care of you, I can save a lot of effort.â
âThen. . . Iâll discuss it with my mother and Christian.â Sarah was not sure if she could make up her mind.
âOkay! Then I will wait for your answer!â Daphne heard that she agreed and immediately nodded her head happily.
