The Contract Marriage

Chapter 271

After a while, Stephen was full. Daphne carried him back to Vivian’s room.

Not long after Daphne left, Christian came back from his father’s ICU and saw that Daphne had left. He closed the door and walked to his daughter’s bedside.

He saw that the little girl had actually fallen asleep while playing alone. He then walked to his wife’s bedside and sat down.

“Hubby, I want to tell you something. . .” Seeing him sit down, Sarah spoke slowly.

“Why are you still stuttering? Tell me, what is it?”

“It’s about Stephen. . .”

“What’s wrong with Stephen?”

“Aunt Daphne just told me that she wanted me to go back to the villa after I leave the hospital. Vivian’s milk is not good, and Aunt Daphne did not seem to want Stephen to drink milk powder. So she wants me to go back to the villa. . .”

“How can that be? You and Vivian are both on your postpartum period. If you go back to the villa, who will take care of you?” Christian immediately rejected it when he heard that.

“Aunt Daphne said that she can let my mother go back to the villa with me. After I recovered well, I will let her go back. . .”

Christian heard his wife’s words and sighed. “But. . . No matter what, Stephen is Vivian’s son.”

“But you forgot, Stephen is still Julian’s son. Besides, I don’t know what happened, but I really like Stephen, that little guy. I always feel that he is very cute. Every time Aunt Daphne carried him to feed, I

feel an indescribable happiness in my heart. Hubby, just promise me. Let me return to the villa, okay?”

Actually, she wanted to return to the villa to live, except for Daphne who repeatedly begged her, another reason was that Sarah liked Stephen from the bottom of her heart. When she thought about how he was so hungry that he cried, that heart-tearing sound, she could not bear to give up that thought.

“It’s not like you can’t go back. But you have to be mentally prepared. . .”

“What mental preparation?”

“You know what kind of person Vivian is. If you go back to the villa and she says something extreme to you, you must not take things too seriously. If you are in a bad mood because of what she said, then the loss outweighs the gain. Don’t you agree?” Christian knew Vivian’s character very well. He was worried that his wife would be hurt.

“I will be fine. Besides, Mom is also in the villa. There are so many people in Cooper Family. She won’t go too far. Don’t you think so?”

“You want to go back so badly?” Christian looked at his wife’s expression and gently held her hand as he asked.

Christian looked at Sarah’s expectant expression and could not help but smile. “Before, you said that I value men over women. Now I realize that the person who really values men over women is you, right?”

Sarah blinked her eyes and looked at him. “What do you mean?”

Christian smiled and said. “Why do I feel that compared to our daughter, you seem to like Stephen more?”

“Where? I’ve only heard his cries for the past two days. I feel that he is such a young child and I can’t bear to see him. If my milk isn’t enough or he doesn’t like it, that’s fine, but he likes it! Furthermore, I have no reason to hate such a cute child!”

“Alright! Since you think so, tomorrow when Mom comes, you can tell her.” Christian understood that his wife was a soft-hearted person, so he nodded and agreed to her request.

“By the way, I haven’t had the time these two days to ask you something.”

“What is it?”

“What’s wrong with Ruby, the maid next to Julian?” Asked Christian.

Although he was not a man who liked gossips, Julian was not someone else. He was his own brother, so he had to ask for clarification no matter what.

“Oh, Ruby was originally Vivian’s cousin. I heard that Vivian was the one who brought Ruby to the villa to let Ruby take care of her. I didn’t expect Julian to go blind later on. Ruby began to take care of Julian. I remember that when Julian went blind for the first month, I was in the car accident and lived here. Ruby somehow found out about my room and specially came to find me. Not long after she entered the room, she immediately knelt beside my bed, saying I must help Julian.”

“Help Julian? How does she want you to help him?” During the period when Julian was blind, Christian did not come back, so there were some things that he did not know.

“After Julian became blind, he locked himself in the study room and even brought wine to drink. In any case, Julian was very dispirited at that time. He did not go downstairs for meals. He seemed to be throwing a tantrum. In the first month after he lost his sight, he didn’t come down from upstairs once.”

“After that, Ruby couldn’t help but come to the hospital. She asked me to call Julian and persuade him to pull himself together. After that, I did as she said. I didn’t expect that he would come to see me the next day. That day, my mom made Julian his favorite food. That day, Julian seemed to have changed into a different person. Since then, he had started to have confidence in life. So I have to say. Ruby was the one who contributed the most to Julian’s ability to work in the company! “

After Christian heard his wife’s words, he thought of Ruby and nodded. “That girl seems to be very careful and treats Julian well. I think Julian seems to be very dependent on her.”

“Yes, it should not be just reliance, right? I think Julian likes her very much. That Ruby it is, it is useless. Julian is already a married man now. And he just became a father. . .”

From the time Julian and Ruby ate lunch together with her, Sarah had already sensed it. The relationship between Julian and Ruby looked a little ambiguous no matter how one looked at it.

Christian nodded and understood what

Because Daphne was staying here tonight, when Daphne carried Stephen to Sarah’s place to feed him, Vivian did not stop her.

Vivian thought in her heart that when Daphne leave tomorrow, no matter what, she could not let Stephen eat Sarah’s milk again. She did not believe that she couldn’t change the temper of a newborn baby that was born just two days ago!

Although there were too many things that had happened Daphne treated her grandson, Stephen, as a treasure.

At night, Stephen cried a little in the baby bed. Daphne woke up and helped the child change the diaper first. She carried Stephen out of the delivery room. Daphne did not care if she would disturb Sarah at this time and went straight to Sarah delivery room.

Because Sarah was not sleeping very well, as soon as Daphne knocked on the door, she woke up. Christian opened the door and Daphne immediately walked in. She carried Stephen to Sarah’s bedside.

This time, Stephen fell asleep while eating in Sarah’s arms. Seeing that he was full, Daphne was very grateful and carried Stephen away again.

Christian sent Daphne away and helped his wife cover up the quilt. He looked at Sarah on the bed and said, “If you really plan to go back to the villa, you might encounter this kind of situation often in the next few months. Is this okay?”

Sarah smiled. “It’s okay. . .”

Christian reached out and caressed his wife’s face. “Go to sleep.”

One night passed just like that.

The next day.

After breakfast, Mrs. Holmes came. Because Daphne was in the delivery room of Vivian last night, after Mrs. Holmes came, she persuaded Daphne to return home.

Worried that Daphne would come back because she was worried about Stephen’s milk, Mrs. Holmes repeatedly promised Daphne that she would definitely carry the child to Sarah’s place to drink milk, so she would definitely not worry.

Daphne only left the delivery room with relief after

Because before Daphne left, she first carried Stephen to Sarah’s place to eat, after the little guy came back, he fell asleep. He slept until 12 o’clock in the afternoon, before he woke up.

After waking up, Stephen played for a while by himself. Mrs. Holmes knew that he must be hungry too, so she went to make the milk powder first. She tested the temperature and only then did she put it in Stephen’s small mouth to stuff.

But after stuffing it for a long time, the little guy kept turning his head. If he couldn’t turn his head, he would spit it out.

After trying a few times, Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter with some uncertainty. “Why is this child not drinking it? What should we do?”

“Carry him to me. I don’t believe that he won’t drink!” Vivian gritted her teeth and said.

Mrs. Holmes looked at Vivian and really had no other choice. She carried the child over and place Stephen by her daughter’s side.

Vivian looked at the little guy by her side and reached out to take the milk bottle from her mother’s hands and said hatefully, “You are a sharpening spirit. No matter what I say today, I will cure this illness of yours. Let’s see who is the best! Drink it for me!”

After saying that, Vivian took the milk bottle and forcefully stuffed it into Stephen’s mouth!

When Stephen smelled the milk powder taste, his little face immediately turned to the side.

Vivian reached out and fiercely pinched his chin, pried open his little mouth and stuffed the milk into Stephen’s mouth. She wanted him to drink it!

This heartless woman!

“Wah. . .” Stephen felt a burst of pain from being pinched, but he could not break free and started to cry again.

However, the milk in the milk bottle was squeezed out by Vivian and flowed into his mouth. The little guy could not cry out and was directly choked by the milk powder!

His little face suddenly turned red and then he coughed continuously. The milk powder in his mouth also flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

“Cough cough. . . Wah. . .” Little Stephen had been tortured to the point that he could not breathe. He was crying and coughing at the same time!

Seeing that the child’s expression was not right, Mrs. Holmes was so scared that she reached out and wanted to carry Stephen up. “Aiya, what are you doing?”

Vivian pushed her mother away with force and said through gritted teeth in anger, “I want to see how long he will be stubborn!”

As she spoke, she kept pinching the milk powder in the milk bottle. Soon, Stephen’s face was full of milk powder. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough. . .” Stephen’s face became redder and redder as he drank. His voice also became softer.

“You nasty child! Drink! Drink! Did you hear that? Drink!!!!”

Vivian looked at all the milk powder spilling out and became even more furious. She wished she could just stuff all the milk bottles into Stephen’s mouth and forget about it.

Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter’s anxious look and was about to reach out her hand when she felt someone suddenly push her body away. She staggered and almost fell down.

Mrs. Holmes was just about to open her mouth and get angry, when she saw a figure quickly walk over and reach out to pick up Stephen from Vivian’s side.

The person looked at the mother and daughter angrily. “What are you trying to do?!!!”

The one who spoke was Daphne!
