The Contract Marriage

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Are You Stupid?

Sarah took out a tissue and wiped her tears. Thinking about Christian’s personality, she decided to call him first. She took the phone and dialed Christian’s number again.

“Hello, Christian, can I go later today?”

“I’m going to see a good friend!”

“Can I go after lunch?”

To be honest, with his aloof personality, she really didn’t want to be alone with him. Furthermore, her good friend Kendall definitely would not let her go easily.

“No!” Christian coldly refused.

“Come and help me make lunch at noon!”

“Where is Jayson?” Even if Jayson did not know how to cook, he could at least buy lunch, right?

“He’s not here!”

Sarah sighed speechlessly and nodded in agreement. “Okay”

There was a good milk tea shop next to Book City. The two friends were meeting there. When Sarah arrived, Kendall had already ordered a cup of milk tea and was waiting for her. Seeing Sarah walk in, she immediately waved at her.

“Sarah, what is going on?” Seeing Sarah sitting down across from her, Kendall nervously looked at her and asked.

Sarah’s eyes dimmed a little as she looked at Kendall forcing out a bitter smile. “It’s not a big deal. It is just that I broke up with Julian…”

“You wretched girl, isn’t this a big deal? Quickly tell me, did that bastard have a woman outside?” Kendall looked at Sarah’s red and swollen eyes and was filled with anger.

Sarah lowered her head. “Yes…”

“Like I said, that bastard is clearly not a good person. You still treat him like a treasure all day long. Sarah, tell me, what’s the name of that woman? You have loved Julian for nine years. Even if you break up with him, you can’t let that woman take advantage of you.”

Kendall hated this kind of this the most. In the past, she didn’t like Julian, but now she hated even more.

Sarah shook her head dejectedly.

“Forget it. The past matters have already passed. I do not wish to pursue any further. Besides, in the future, I still have to live in the same house as him…”

Her words stunned Kendall and she stared at Sarah in disbelief. “What did you say? You still want to live in the same house as Julian in future? What do you mean? Don’t tell me he abandoned you but you still want to be his secret lover?”

“Kendall, what are you thinking about? Do you think I am that kind of person?”

“Then why did you say that just now?”

Sarah felt a little guilty under the gaze of her good friend. She lowered her head and looked at the milk tea on the table. She picked it up and took a sip.

“What is going on? You want to make me anxious to death, right?” Kendall anxiously stared at Sarah and asked.

“Kendall, do you know who the woman with Julian is?”

“How would I know about your matter?” Kendall was angered by Sarah’s leisurely attitude. She picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

“Actually, that girl is originally Julian’s sister-in-law…”

Kendall spat out the milk tea that she had just drank. After she coughed intensely a few times, she looked at Sarah in disbelief.

“Damn! This Julian did not even let go of his sister-in-law. Sarah, its right for you to leave him! Let me tell you, this is definitely a good thing for you. With your conditions, you will definitely be able to find someone who is truly good to you!”

“Actually, that girl is Julian’s Big Brother’s fiancée. His Big Brother came back to hold a wedding with that girl!”

“Sarah, you can’t force a relationship. But I still don’t understand what you just said. Why do you want to live with Julian in the same house in the future?”

Sarah sighed heavily. She looked at Kendall said with difficulty.

“I parted with you yesterday and went to Julian’s office. I happened to bump into the two of them. Julian’s Big Brother was also there at that time. He was the one who took me away.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sarah lowered her head again and her voice was as low as mosquito.

“I also don’t know what happened yesterday. Maybe I was angered by Julian and became muddle- headed. In a fit of anger, I went to the Marriage Registration Office with his Big Brother…”

“Ahem…” Kendall choked on her Sarah’s words again. She stared at her friend in disbelief for a long time. Then she laughed as if she had heard a joke.

“Sarah, are you sure you are not joking with me? You just broke up with that bastard. You turned around and married that bastard’s Big Brother? Come on, who would believe such a thing?”

Sarah looked at Kendall and nodded seriously. “It’s true!”

“Is it true? Who are you lying to? Are you out of your mind? You don’t even have any feelings for his Big Brother. Why did you marry him? You want to see Julian every day in the Cooper Family?” Seeing that her good friend wasn’t joking, Kendall’s anger rose again.

“I also don’t know what happened yesterday. He told me that he was unwilling to see his brother and his fiancée together. He asked me if I was willing? I didn’t know what happened to myself at that time either. So I went with him to get my marriage certificate.”

Thinking back to how she had gotten along with Christian since yesterday, Sarah really regretted it now. If she had known that her mother would know everything about her and Julian and Christian could actually make her mother agree to their marriage, Sarah wouldn’t have taken this step. But now it seemed that she could not divorce Christian.

“Are you stupid? He married you because he wanted to use you to take revenge on Julian. I didn’t expect you to be tempted by his words! You fool, can you get a marriage certificate as you wish? That’s a promise of a lifetime!” Kendall looked at Sarah and said.

“I also know that I was wrong, but…”

“No! You must not marry him! Call him right now and ask him to come here. I will talk to him! I want to see who he is to kidnap you to get married!”

Kendall had always been very confident in her eloquence. She knew that Sarah was soft-hearted, so she could not just sit and watch.

“No! Actually, you don’t know, he is also quite pitiful…” Sarah remembered the scene of Christian getting angry yesterday and really could not bear to do such a thing.

“What is he pitiful for? Oh right, you haven’t told me what his name is. What does he do?”

“His name is Christian Cooper and he’s a soldier. He’s regimental commander now! Half a year ago, his legs were injured and he is still sitting in a wheelchair…” Sarah lowered her head and answered.

“Soldier? Then can he be able to stand up?” Kendall was surprised when she heard that it was a soldier.

“He seems to be unable to stand up!”

Sarah shook her head. Whether that man could stand up or not was not what she wanted to care about.

“Does that mean he will be sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?”

“Yes, it should be…” Sarah pursed her lips and felt sorry for the man.

Kendall sighed. “Sigh, then it is a pity. If he was healthy, then it would be fine. Sarah, let me say something unpleasant. If you really marry him… Then wouldn’t your life be ruined?”

Listening Kendall’s words, Sarah’s eyes dimmed.

“His wedding with Vivian was supposed to be held tomorrow. He said that he couldn’t find a bride for the time being and I agreed. Actually, I felt that he was more pitiful than me. His fiancée betrayed him with his own brother and he is still sitting in a wheelchair. But don’t worry, he promised me that he would divorce me in three months. He just can’t take it.”

She had always felt that the reason why that man insisted on having a wedding with her was because he wanted to anger his brother and that woman!

“Sigh, it seems like what you said is true! But what if he doesn’t agree to divorce you after three months?”

Kendall could not bear to hear Sarah’s explanation. No matter how eloquent she was, she could not bear to talk about divorce with a soldier in a wheelchair.

“He’s a soldier! He definitely won’t go back on his words!” Although she didn’t have a good impression of Christian, she always felt that he wasn’t a man who would easily deceive others.

After three months, you can propose a divorce at any time!

He will definitely do what he says, right?

“Uh, I hope so!” Kendall nodded and looked at Sarah with some worry. “Then did you tell Auntie about this? If she knew, she would definitely be shocked!”

Sarah sighed. “Yesterday, people from the Cooper family went to my house to apologize. Later, Julian and Uncle left. Christian said he wanted to talk to my mom alone. I thought that my mother would definitely oppose it. Who knew that my mother would agree after he talked to my mother for half an hour.”

She really couldn’t figure it out. What trick that man use to make her mother agree to this matter in half an hour?

“You’re saying that auntie agreed to marry you to that Christian?” Kendall looked at Sarah and asked in disbelief.

“Yes! I asked my mother and also Christian, but neither of them was willing to tell me! Forget it. As long as I can last for three months, I will be free again.” Sarah did not want to think too much about it. Besides, she could not possibly be with that Christian Cooper forever.

“Oh right. There is one more thing. If you really marry him, then how are you going to rest after marriage? You’re not really sleeping with him, are you?”

“His body can’t take it anymore, so you don’t have to worry.” Looking at that man’s physical condition, even if there was a beauty lying beside him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything, right?

“Sigh, looks like he’s really quite pitiful! That prospective fiancée of his must have betrayed him because of this, right?” After hearing what Sarah said, Kendall also could not bear it anymore.

“It should be!”

“Alright then! Since it’s already like this, then you won’t be having a wedding with him tomorrow, right?”

“No way! Our wedding will be held in a week. When the time comes, you can be my bridesmaid!” Although this wedding wasn’t what she wanted, she still didn’t want to disappoint her mother.

“Alright! For the sake of Aunty, I’ll go.” Kendall nodded.

The two good friends chatted until about ten o’ clock. Sarah saw that it was about time, so she went to Christian’s apartment. She pressed the doorbell, and the person who opened the door was actually Christian.
