The Contract Marriage

Chapter 162

Days passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The sky was getting colder and colder. One could already smell the early winter in the air.

In this one month’s time, Julian had been thinking of ways to invite Sarah to dinner. But no matter how much he begged, Sarah always remembered Christian’s words. She was determined not to be alone with him. In a month’s time, Julian did not find any opportunity to make a move.

Ethan’s recovery was getting better and better. His words were not much different from before. He even asked his driver to take him to the company. The Cooper Group was too big. His son Julian’s ability was limited. He could not be at ease.

Christian had come back twice in a month. Sarah found that every time he left, she would become more and more greedy for him. Every time, she could not bear to let him leave. But there was nothing she could do.

Today was Saturday, and it was also the day Sarah returned to her mother’s home. Not long after breakfast, Sarah took her bag. She prepared to drive back to her mother’s house.

Just as she got into the car, Sarah’s phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the number on it. She was surprised to find that it was Ethan, who called. His car had just left not long ago. Sarah was more or less surprised to receive his call at this time.

“Dad, is that you?” Sarah still did not believe that he would call her.

“Yes, Sarah, come with me to the company. I have something to tell you.” Ethan’s voice came from the phone.

“Okay, I will go now.” Ethan would not find her easily. Since he called her, it must be something important. Sarah immediately agreed.

“See you later!” Ethan said and hung up.

Sarah put away her phone and started the car to leave Villa of Cooper Family. Along the way, she was wondering what Ethan wanted her to do at the company. Could it be that he wanted her to return to Cooper Group again? If that was the case, she could only refuse.

About half an hour later, Sarah’s car finally stopped in front of the Cooper Group. She parked the car, took her bag and quickly entered the Cooper Group. She took the elevator and went straight to Ethan’s office.

When he walked out of the elevator and was about to reach the door of the chairman’s office, he saw the door of Ethan’s room open. Julian walked out with a document in his hand. When he saw Sarah in front of him, he was stunned.

“Sarah? What are you doing here?” Ever since she married Christian, she had almost never come to the company. Seeing her here today made him more or less curious.

“Dad is looking for me for something.” Sarah did not want to say anything more to him, so she stepped aside and entered the chairman’s office.

Julian stood at the door and felt that this matter was somewhat strange. His father was perfectly fine, why did he ask Sarah to come to the company?

He turned around and wanted to open the door and walk in, but found that the door was locked at this moment.

It seemed that his father did not want to be disturbed. He originally wanted to hear what was said in the room, but the soundproofing in the room was too good. He could not hear anything. After a while, he returned to his office sulkily.

Once Sarah walked in, Ethan let her lock the room. Only then did he call her to sit down on the sofa.

Sarah followed father-in-law to the sofa and found that there was already a man in a suit sitting there. When he saw Sarah, he even smiled at her. She immediately nodded with a smile and sat down on the sofa opposite Ethan.

“Dad, why did you call me here?” Sarah looked at Ethan and asked as soon as she sat down.

Ethan looked at his daughter-in-law and smiled, then introduced her to him. “Sarah, let me introduce him to you. He is my personal lawyer,

Thomas Barrel

Sarah heard father-in-law’s introduction and immediately looked at Thomas and smiled. “Hello.”

Thomas also smiled and nodded. “Hello, Miss Wilson.”

He then looked at Ethan. “Chairman Cooper, can we start now?”

“Yes, let’s start.”

Sarah was confused by their conversation, but she still sat quietly on the his bag and turn it to the last page. He handed it to Sarah. “Miss Wilson, please sign on this.”

Ethan also smiled at Sarah and nodded. “Sign your name on it.”

Sarah blinked her eyes in confusion. She looked at the document in front of her, then looked at Ethan. “Dad, what document is this?”

“This is a document from the court. Because you aren’t going to help me with this?” Ethan looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile and asked slowly.

Sarah immediately relaxed and smiled when she heard Ethan’s words. “Dad, how can I not help you with this kind of help? I’ll sign it!”

Sarah then picked up the pen as she spoke and quickly signed her name at a few places according to Thomas’s instructions. There were even some places where she pressed a hand seal.

Ethan watched Sarah finish signing all of them. He then looked at her and smiled. “Are you going back to your mother’s house today?”

“Yes, Dad!” Sarah immediately nodded her head.

Ethan looked at his daughter-in-law and took out a bank card from his pocket and put it in front of her. “Sarah, I was sick before and never had the chance to give you pocket money. You won’t take it even if you know more. I got my secretary to save ten thousand in here. Take it and use it. This is a small token of father’s appreciation. You’re not allowed to reject me!”

When Sarah heard Ethan’s words, she did not she could accept ten thousand yuan. She immediately reached out to take it.

“Thank you, father!” She put it in her bag.

“Don’t lose the card, okay?” Ethan reminded her again.

“Yes, I won’t. I will take good care of it!” Sarah nodded obediently.

“Alright, then let’s go back. I still have a meeting

Sarah immediately stood up, “Dad, I’m leaving now.”

Ethan nodded again and watched his daughter-in-law walk out of the office and close the office door. He then smiled in relief.

Thomas looked at Ethan’s face and asked

“Although her personality is a little weak, her heart is the same as her father’s, very kind. If she knew the truth, she would definitely not accept it. I will keep this equity transfer letter in the Central Bank’s vault. If anything happens to my body in the future, you can tell her when the time comes.”

Ethan reminded Thomas with a calm expression.

“Yes, Chairman!”

Sarah came out of Ethan’s office and took the elevator to the company lobby. When she walked out of the elevator, she saw Julian standing not far away, as if he was waiting for someone. She lifted her foot and took a few steps forward, only to see Julian quickly walking over.

“Sarah!” Julian walked in front of her and blocked her way.

“Do you need something?” Although this was the main hall, he definitely would not do anything to her in this kind of place, but Sarah still did not want to say anything to him.

“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask why you came to the company. Did Dad call you here?” Ever since Sarah left the company, this was the first time his father took the initiative to call Sarah here. He didn’t know if his father felt that he was really too busy, so he also wanted Sarah to come back and help him.

When he thought of this in the office, he was a little excited. He quickly went downstairs and waited for Sarah.

“Yes! I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“I haven’t finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?” Julian once again stood in front of her, not wanting her to leave.

Seeing that he insisted on not letting her leave, Sarah stopped and looked at him. “Alright, say it quickly!”

“Why did Dad call you here? Did he ask you to come back to the company to help me?” Julian looked at her expectantly and asked.

Sarah heard his question and looked at him teasingly. “Do you think it’s possible?”

“Then what is it?”

“Dad asked me to help him sign a document from the court.”

“Proof from the court? Something happened to the company?” Julian frowned when he heard Sarah’s words.

“You are the CEO of this company. You should know better than me if anything happened to the company, right? Alright. I have finished speaking. I’ll be leaving first.” Sarah said unhappily and walked past him towards the entrance of the hall.

Julian stood where he was and frowned. He thought for a long time but still could not understand. Recently, everything in the company was normal. Why would his father be involved with the court?

But thinking about it, it was definitely not a big deal. He thoughtfully looked at the lobby door before turning around and entering the elevator, returning to his office.

Sarah did not take what happened in Ethan’s office to heart. To her, as long as she could help Ethan, she would be very happy. Thinking about how Ethan had just recovered from his illness and wanted to give her pocket money, she could not help but feel touched. She only hoped that she could do more for him in the future.

Because she only saw her daughter once a week, Samantha prepared a sumptuous lunch for today. In the past, Sarah especially liked to eat the braised pork ribs that she made. Today, she specially ordered it. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Samantha diligently made a plate and even put it on a beautiful plate. Sarah and Samantha brought all the lunch to the table together and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other.

Sarah looked at the plate of delicious ribs. She swallowed her saliva like a hungry cat.

Samantha looked at her daughter’s expression and could not help but laugh, “Quickly eat!”

After saying that, she put a piece into Sarah’s bowl and looked at the latter in satisfaction.

Sarah looked at her mother and giggled. She picked up that piece of rib and brought it to her mouth. She looked at her mother and sighed, “Mom, although Christian’s family is rich and there is a cook who knows how to cook, the dishes he makes will never be as delicious as the ones my mother cooks.”

Samantha heard her words and smiled. “Of course! When your mother cooks, she misses her daughter. When Christian’s family’s chefs cook, they think about money!”

Sarah immediately nodded in agreement. “Mom, this is too precise.” After saying that, she could no longer resist the temptation of the ribs and opened her mouth to bite down.

Samantha looked at her daughter’s eating habits in satisfaction and her heart was filled with indescribable joy. To her, even watching her daughter eat the lunch she made was a kind of happiness.

Sarah opened her mouth wide and took a bite before stopping. She originally thought that she would find the feeling of wanting to eat ribs in the past, but when the meat entered her mouth, her stomach suddenly had a strange feeling.
