The Contract Marriage

Chapter 277

Looking at the child’s smiling face, Christian felt his heart skip a beat.

He couldn’t tell why, but when he looked at this cute little guy, he actually felt a sense of an indescribable attachment. He couldn’t even describe how much he liked this little man.

“Aunt Daphne, let me hug him. . .” Christian looked at the little guy who kept smiling and could not help but want to hug him.

“Okay. . .” Daphne smiled and handed the child to Christian.

“Ah, ah. . .” As soon as the little guy reached his father’s arms, he jumped and kicked with all his strength. He looked quite energetic.

“This little guy has quite a lot of strength!” Christian looked at Stephen’s happy look in his arms and could not help but laugh.

“Yes! He was born with the same weight. . .” Daphne couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Christian’s words.

Time slipped by a little and Simona finished eating. Samantha carried her granddaughter away and Christian then placed Stephen on the other side of Sarah.

When the little guy arrived at his mother’s side, he couldn’t wait to hold her breast in his mouth. His little hand tightly clenched into a small fist and pressed against his mother’s body. He closed his eyes and began to eat with all his strength.

Sarah could not help but laugh when she saw this little fellow throw himself into it.

Daphne looked at this scene and sighed, “Sarah you know, when Stephen was in his mother’s delivery room, after he woke up, he started to cry out loud. But I didn’t expect that even if he woke up here for

more than 20 minutes and did not eat milk, he actually did not cry or make a fuss. Do you think he knows that Simona was drinking milk?”

The few of them could not help but laugh. Samantha looked at Daphne and said with a smile, “If that is really the case, this grandson of yours is really smart. It has only been a few days since he was born.”

“Yes! He has only been born for less than three days. What do you think he knows. But you saw it just now. He really didn’t cry. When Christian hugged him, he was still smiling non-stop.”

“It seems like Stephen will definitely love his little sister in the future. He even knows how to take care of Simona at such a young age. . .” Sarah smiled as she held Stephen’s small hand. Every time she saw him eat so happily, her heart would also be indescribably happy.

“Mrs. Cooper. . .” As they were talking, they heard a familiar voice coming from the door.

Everyone looked up and saw Mrs. Holmes just opening the door and standing at the door.

Daphne’s expression immediately changed. But this was Sarah’s delivery room convenient to say here. So she stood up and walked towards the door.

Without saying a word, Daphne walked out of the room. Seeing

“Is there something wrong with Mrs. Holmes?” After the two of them walked out a few steps, Daphne looked at Mrs. Holmes with a cold face and asked.

Mrs. Holmes immediately smiled apologetically and said, “Mrs. Cooper, what Vivian did at noon was a little too much. Actually, she was also anxious. No matter what, she was the biological mother of the child. Not only did the child not eat her milk, but he also did not drink milk powder. Vivian was also anxious for a moment before she did that kind of thing. I hope that Mrs. Cooper would not lower herself to her level. Actually, she is also a child. . .”

Daphne heard Mrs. Holmes’s words and immediately gave a cold snort and said, “She is also a child? Mrs. Holmes, you really know how to find a reason for your daughter. It is true that Vivian is Stephen’s mother. But Sarah and Stephen are not related by blood, yet Sarah can even feed her milk to Stephen, not to mention she has her own three days old daughter. Why don’t you say that Sarah is also a child?”

“Mrs. Cooper, look, I said something wrong again. I don’t have much culture. Sometimes, when I speak without thinking, just treat me as a boorish person. Don’t take it to heart. Vivian also knew that she was wrong. She could not get out of bed now and her actions were restricted, so she specifically asked me to apologize to you. She also specifically asked me to tell you that since Stephen likes Sarah’s milk, then let him eat it. Even if after returning to the villa, she will not pursue this matter any further. She only hoped that this time Mrs. Cooper would take into account that she was Stephen’s biological mother and forgive her. . .”

Daphne heard Mrs. Holmes’s words and her expression slightly eased up. But she still said in a cold voice, “Actually there are some things that I do not wish to do too much. But that scene at noon is really too infuriating. How can I stand such a thing being a grandmother? And I just want to ask her. As a biological mother, how can she do this to her own three days old child?”

“And you Mrs. Holmes, you are already in your fifties or sixties. How can you let such a thing happen in front of your eyes? You’re Stephen’s grandmother! Who would do that to a three days old child? If I hand Stephen over to you, do you think I can be at ease?”

“Yes, yes, yes! You are right! Vivian and I have indeed gone too far this time. Anyway, Stephen does not eat Vivian’s milk now. Then let Stephen follow Sarah first! But don’t be angry anymore. Just treat me as an old woman who is not sensible. Don’t lower yourself to the level of someone like me. Okay?”

Mrs. Holmes kept apologizing. Her attitude also seemed to be indescribably sincere.

When Daphne heard Mrs. Holmes’s words, she also knew in her heart that Vivian was Stephen’s biological mother no matter what. So she once again eased up the expression on her face and said, “Actually I am not that kind of person who is unreasonable. If you guys had said so earlier, would the matter have escalated to this state?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Mrs. Cooper, you are right! It was all my and Vivian’s fault! You are an adult who does not care about petty people. Please don’t be angry anymore.”

“Alright, since you have already said so, then what else can I say? You can go back. Just take good care of Vivian these few days. You don’t have to worry about the child. I’m here.”

After saying that, Daphne turned around and was about to enter Sarah’s delivery room when Mrs. Holmes immediately stopped her.

“Mrs. Cooper! Wait a moment!”

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?” Daphne frowned and looked at her.

Mrs. Holmes awkwardly coughed twice, “Mrs. Cooper, even though our Vivian was in the wrong, but in the end, she is still Stephen’s biological mother, don’t you think so?”

Daphne nodded her head. “Of course, no one denied this.”

“When you left at noon, Julian told Vivian that he wanted a divorce. I thought he was just saying it, but who knew that just now. . . Julian sent a lawyer to deliver a divorce agreement, saying that he wanted to divorce Vivian. Actually, no matter how Vivian treated the child, she was also Stephen’s mother. At that time, it was only because she was anxious that she did such an impulsive thing. But if Julian really divorced her, Stephen would become a child without a mother or a father in the future. No matter whom the child followed, it would definitely not be a complete home. Don’t you think so?”

“Did Julian really do that?” Her son’s speed this time was really out of her expectations.

“Yes! Vivian kept crying just now. Vivian really knew her mistake. Just help her again on account that she is Stephen’s mother, okay?” Mrs. Holmes’s eyes also turned red as she spoke. At the end of her sentence, she even raised her hand and sobbed as she wiped her tears.

Daphne looked at Mrs. Holmes and was slightly silent for a moment, “Don’t make her anxious first. After all, she is still in her confinement period. I will first communicate with Julian about this matter and hear what he means.”

“Actually, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Julian means that he wants to divorce Vivian. Then he will marry Ruby. I also know that ever since Julian became blind, Ruby has been by Julian’s side to take care of him. Actually, from the beginning, Vivian was the one who brought Ruby to the Cooper Family. Mrs. Cooper, since Julian could not see with his eyes, he started to rely on Ruby. That was why he felt that Ruby was good. But if you take a step back and say that Vivian was not pregnant, then the one who would have taken care of Julian must be Vivian. She could not take good care of Julian because of her pregnancy, so now Julian wants to divorce her. Do you think it would be fair to her? Just take care of the child. Can you help Vivian?”

Daphne heard Mrs. Holmes’s words and thought for a moment before saying, “How about this. I will go and find Julian to talk and first ask what exactly is going on. You don’t need to be too anxious. In the end, Vivian is Stephen’s biological mother. This cannot be changed by anyone. Tonight, I will go back and talk to Julian. After I understand everything, I will come back to you. What do you think?”

In fact, although she was angry with Vivian, deep in her heart, she did not want the child to have no mother as soon as he was born.

“Then I really have to thank you Mrs. Cooper! Sorry to trouble you!” Mrs. Holmes immediately thanked when she heard that there was a chance.

“You can go back first. Tell Vivian not to be too anxious and wait for my news.”

“Yes! Yes, yes! Then go ahead and do your work. I’m going back.” Mrs. Holmes smiled apologetically and nodded. Then, she turned around and went to her daughter’s delivery room.

Daphne stood where she was and looked at Mrs. Holmes’s back. She was silent for a moment before she turned around and returned to Sarah’s room.

Knowing that her mother went to look for Daphne, Vivian had been anxiously waiting in the room.

With her understanding of Daphne, that woman had always felt heartache for her son, let alone about her grandson. So whether her mother could convince her or not. . . Vivian was really uncertain in her heart.

After about 20 minutes, the delivery room’s door was finally pushed open. Mrs. Holmes walked in from the door and looked at Hannah who was in the room. She gestured for Hannah to go out for a while.

Hannah immediately understood and walked out of the delivery room. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Holmes closed the door and quickly walked to her daughter’s bed and sat down.

“Mom! What happened? What is mother-in-law’s attitude?” Vivian asked nervously.

“She promised to help for the time being. Don’t be too anxious first. I think there should be some connections for this matter.”

“Then what did you tell her?”

“I told her that you are the biological mother of the child, and that Julian proposed a divorce after just giving birth to Stephen, it doesn’t make sense. I dare not say things that are too excessive. You do not

know that the way your mother-in-law looked at me now is as if she is looking at an enemy of a higher class!”

“Did she say anything insulting to you?” Hearing her mother’s words, Vivian frowned and asked.

“No! But what she said was not very pleasant to hear anyway. Sigh, there’s nothing we can do now. Who asked you to do that kind of thing and let her catch up?”

Mrs. Holmes sighed heavily. Just now she apologized like a child in front of Daphne. Her heart was also filled with unspeakable depression but she had no other choice.

“Mom, I am already depressed enough. Don’t complain about me anymore. . .” Vivian looked at her mother gloomily.
