The Contract Marriage

Chapter 188

Christian raised his hand and gently scratched his wife’s little nose. He couldn’t help but smile and say, “It only means that you slept too deeply. You did not even react when I carried you over. You slept even heavier than the caterpillar in the forest. Haha! “

“You’re too naughty!” Sarah pinched him mischievously.

“Haha! There was no other way. Who asked your husband to like you so much? But now that I think about it, I really admire myself. Don’t you know that hugging you and sleeping with you every day was a torture for me?”

“That’s what you asked for! Hmph!”

“Haha. . . “

Ever since she called Lucas, Vivian had been thinking about how to talk about money with Julian.

Five hundred thousand was not a lot of money to the Cooper Family. But with Julian’s previous attitude towards her, she believed that he would not give her the money easily.

Fortunately, she had a magic treasure in her stomach. As long as she used the child’s matter to threaten him a little, he would definitely give in.

After dinner, Vivian returned to their bedroom. After waiting for about an hour, she saw Julian walk in from outside.

Vivian ignored him. In the past, she would definitely welcome him, but now she had a new identity. No matter what, she had a child in her womb, so she lied on the bed and pretended not to see him.

Seeing her like this, Julian did not mind. He first went to the bathroom to take a shower and walked out in his changed pajamas. When he laid beside Vivian and saw that she still ignored him, he turned

around and looked at her.

“My dear, what happened today? Why didn’t you speak to me for a long time?”

Vivian immediately snorted and looked at him. “You still have the face to ask me? Sarah is also pregnant like me. But look at what Big Brother did. He directly bought a car for her!”

“When he bought it, he didn’t know Sarah was pregnant.”

“That means the problem is even more obvious. Even if she wasn’t pregnant, she would be treated like this. But even if I am pregnant, I wouldn’t be treated like that. Humph! I have seen through it. You do not have me in your heart at all!” Vivian immediately pouted angrily. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“How could that be? I haven’t been able to make it during this period of time. You know I’m busier than before. Dad doesn’t have much time to go to the company now. I’m the only one holding the company, and the company matters are enough for me. How can I have time to think about you?”

“Even if you’re a CEO, didn’t your father nurture so many vice presidents? It’s impossible for everything to fall on your shoulders alone, right?” Vivian did not believe what he said at all.

“That is for sure. Otherwise, your husband will be exhausted to death.”

“Since you don’t have time, how about this? Give me the money and I’ll buy it myself.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely buy the car for you in the future. But you’re pregnant now. It’s impossible for you to learn how to drive. Even if I buy it for you, you won’t be able to drive it for the time being, understand?”

Julian paused for a moment and looked at her. “My dear. Next year, as long as you give birth to a son for me, don’t even mention buying a car, I’ll give you a villa.”

“Really? That’s what you said!” Vivian’s eyes immediately lit up as she stared at him.

“Of course I said it. But you must have a son. There is no daughter.”

“Why?” Julian felt a little depressed when she heard this.

“Silly, of course I want my son to inherit the Cooper Family’s property. Such son for me, I will be more motivated. Don’t you think so?”

“Let me tell you, when I went back to my mother’s house today, I happened to bump into a person in my neighborhood who knows how to read people’s faces. She said that I am carrying a son.”

Vivian couldn’t help but feel happy when she thought of what the person she met today said.

“That’s great. Wife, as long as it is a son, I will buy whatever you want.” Julian immediately became interested when he heard that.

“I don’t believe what you said. You don’t even buy me a car now.” Vivian looked at his expression and pursed her lips again.

“Aren’t you unable to drive now?” Julian smiled and comforted her.

“If you can’t drive it, you can give me money first.”

“Okay. My dear, tell me, how much do you want? Forget it. I happen to have 500,000 yuan in my card. I’ll give it to you first.” Julian got up and got off the bed as he spoke. He took out his bank card from his wallet and handed it to Vivian.

“Take this five hundred thousand first. Just treat it as an emergency. We’ll talk about your driver’s license, I will buy you one immediately. This 500,000 yuan will be your pocket money.”

Vivian did not expect Julian to be so generous to her this time. She immediately took it and put it away. She leaned over and kissed him hard. “Hubby, you are so good! I love you to death!”

“I am very busy now. If I have time, I would definitely have bought you a car before you get pregnant.”

Vivian smiled and her eyes turned to look at him. “By the way, I heard you say that the company is too busy. I happen to have something to ask of you.”

“Tell me, what is it?”

“Didn’t I have a neighboring Big Brother? He is very enthusiastic and often helps our family. If we give him some money, he doesn’t want it. I always felt that I owed him. Recently, I heard that his business is not doing well. He even sold his own van, and he seems to have lost money from doing business. I thought that he had helped our family before, so I wanted to take this opportunity to return a favor to him… The Cooper Group is so big, you can arrange a position for him in the company.”

Julian had just said that the company was too busy. She thought about it and realized that it was not a good idea for Lucas to wander around outside.

If she could take advantage of this opportunity to arrange for Lucas to enter the Cooper Group, then she would definitely have a helper in the future.

“No problem. No matter how busy I am as a company’s president, I can still arrange someone. Tell me, which department do you want him to join?” This kind of thing was a small matter to Julian, so he naturally agreed happily.

“Actually, he can’t do anything. He doesn’t have any skills. How about this? He’s a good driver. You let him be your driver for a month first. Let’s see how this person is. After a month, you can arrange other jobs for him.”

Julian thought about this question and agreed readily. “Okay. Then it’s decided. Go to sleep. I’ve been too busy these few days. My eyes are starting to feel uncomfortable again.”

After saying that, Julian lied down beside him and closed his eyes. A tear flowed down the corner of his eyes.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Vivian looked at his expression and felt a little puzzled.

Julian opened his eyes and took a tissue to wipe his tears. He slightly frowned and replied, “I don’t know what happened. My eyes have been crying very badly recently. But I just need to rest well and sleep for a night. Quickly go to sleep.”

“Looks like you’ve been really tired recently. Don’t think too much. Go to sleep.” Vivian looked at his closed eyes and did not think too much.

After breakfast the next day, Vivian watched Julian leave Villa of Cooper Family with Ethan. She then told Daphne that she wanted to go back to her mother’s house because she had some urgent matters to attend to.

When Daphne heard that, she immediately ordered the chauffeur to prepare the car and send Vivian back to her mother’s house.

After the car drove for a distance, Vivian took out her phone and sent a message to Lucas. After getting Lucas’s reply, she finally relaxed.

About 40 minutes later, Vivian’s car finally stopped downstairs. She let the driver go home first and told him to come back to pick her up at night. Only then did she get off the car and go upstairs.

When Vivian’s parents saw their daughter come back, they were all very happy. Vivian told her parents that she still wanted to eat the food that her mother cooked yesterday, so she came back.

Mrs. Holmes knew that her daughter was a foodie now. So she brought her husband to the market and prepared to buy more ingredients to prepare a proper lunch for her daughter.

Vivian saw her parents disappear on the balcony and immediately took out her phone to call Lucas. She asked him to come to her home immediately.

Lucas was originally waiting nearby. When he received Vivian’s call, he ran to her house immediately. When the door opened, Lucas went up and hugged Vivian and kissed her wildly.

Vivian pushed him away and then nervously closed the door of the living room. Only then did she turned to look at him and could not help smiling. “Why are you always so anxious? What if someone sees you?”

Although she said so, she still reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. Seeing that his face was not any worse than Julian’s, she went up and kissed him.

“It can’t be helped. The way you looked just now is similar to the scriptures from the Western Paradise. I dream about you every night. Vivi, when I think of you lying beside Julian every day, my heart feels like it is being cut by a knife. Sigh, how long I have to lead such a life?”

He was also a man. When he thought about the woman he liked lying beside another man, he couldn’t stand it.

“Aren’t we poor? I know that you’re feeling unwell right now, but as long as we get the shares of the Cooper Group. . . We won’t have to worry about food and clothing anymore. We’ll go wherever we want for the rest of our lives. Don’t you agree?” Knowing that he did not feel good, Vivian quickly consoled him.

Actually, this kind of life was also a form of torture to her, but Lucas owed too much money. This was the only shortcut they had at the moment.

“It’s just that I’ve wronged you too much, Vivi. It’s all my fault!” Lucas said as he lowered his head and blamed himself.

“Don’t be silly. If I had not wronged myself, would you have been able to live until now? I came today to tell you something important.”

“What is it?”

When he heard Vivian say something important, Lucas widened his eyes and stared at her.

“I have thought about it for the past two days. I think you should stop doing business. I’ve recommended you to Julian to be a driver. You should be his driver first and get his trust. If anything happens in the company in the future, I will also have an insider. Otherwise, I will stay at home every day and won’t know what happened in Cooper Group. This way, you can have a stable job and also be prepared for any major incidents in the company.”
