The Contract Marriage

Chapter 179

Sarah had never entered this room before. The room was not big and there was a single bed and a small bookshelf beside it. There was a desk beside the single bed and there were a few old photos on it.

However, those few photos made her eyes locked on it and could not move away.

Christian held her hand and walked to the bedside to sit down. He took one of the photos and put it in front of her. He smiled and said, “This is the second year I was in the army. I stole it from my dad in the photo frame at home. Although this photo is a photo of you and your dad, I stole it when it saw you.”

Sarah looked at the photo of herself and her father. She was so excited that she didn’t know what to say. She raised her hand and gently caressed the photo. Tears rolled down her face when she saw her father’s appearance back then.

“I accidentally lost this photo a long time ago. I didn’t expect you to have. . . But why did you take my photo?”

She had been married to him for such a long time. He had never told her about this, and she had never been to this room before.

Christian reached out his hand and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “The year your father passed away, I came back from the army to visit my mother in the cemetery. Actually, I’ve seen you before, but we basically never talked. That day, I came back from the army in a hurry. I didn’t bring anything for my mother. At that time, I met a little girl in the cemetery. She was crying very sadly in front of her father’s tombstone. I don’t know if she heard what I said but she took a few pieces of desserts and a few chrysanthemums and placed them in front of my mother’s gravestone. And she told me to be strong in the future. . .”

Christian stopped and looked at her as he spoke. He caressed her cheek with his large hand. He looked at her with tender eyes. “Silly girl, do you remember me?”

Sarah shook her head. “I forgot. . .” At that time, she was too sad. Even if she had done that kind of thing, she had already forgotten about it.

“But I will never forget it for the rest of my life because the death of my mother had a huge impact on me. In addition, with the addition of a stepmother in the family, very few people care about me. At that time, I recognized who you were at first glance. When you turned around and left, I was thinking. . . If you grow up, I’ll take care of you. But at that time, you were already engaged to Julian. . . “ Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her heart slowly softened. This was the first time she heard him talk about this. Looking at the photo in front of her, she actually somewhat believed what he said. “What you said. . . Is true?”

Christian reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “If it’s fake, why would I keep these photos here? When you agreed to marry me a few months ago, you don’t know how happy I was. But the reason I didn’t let you come to this room. . . I originally wanted to give you a surprise on your birthday. Sarah, I wanted to tell you that before you marry me, I already like you.”

“In the past, when you were with Julian, I could only look at you from afar. Every time I saw you smile so happily, I felt very gratified. I never thought that there would be a day when. . . You would really come to my side. Say. . . I’ve liked you for so long, will I easily be with another woman?”

His words instantly reduced the anger in her heart by more than half. But when she thought of Greta’s photo, she still felt depressed in her heart. “Even if I believe what you said just now is true, how do you explain Greta’s matter?”

“A few days before I went to the military for a meeting, she came to my house one night to look for me. She said that she couldn’t find a place to eat, so she went to my place to freeload. You also know that she treated my leg injury before, so she can be considered my benefactor. So I let her stay for dinner.

But before dinner starts, she told me that she liked me, so I let her leave. She then walked out the door. I wanted to close the door quickly, but I didn’t expect her to suddenly extend her leg to block it. It hurt her leg.”

“Later, I said to send her back. She said that her key was lost and the door is new and hard to open. I originally wanted to send her to the guest house, but she said that it wouldn’t be good for others to see it at such a late hour. In the end, I had no choice but to let her stay at home for an entire night. I admit that I didn’t think it through properly that day, but I slept on the sofa. Sarah, I didn’t do anything to her.”

“That day, when I returned to the army after the meeting, because I was going to be transferred, I was busy all the way until night. I wanted to call you, but my phone was out of battery. Then I called mom. She said you were sleeping. I know you’re pregnant now and want to let you sleep a little longer. After I called Mom, Greta brought a few of my comrades and brought some things over. She said she wanted to send me off in advance. When I send everyone away, I called you but you turned off your phone. Sarah, this is everything I know in these few days. Until now, I still don’t understand why you want to tell me about divorce. Why did you drag Greta into the middle of us?”

“Sarah, I have never thought of doing anything that would let you down. Think about it, if I really like that Greta, why should I keep these photos in this room? I know there must be some misunderstanding between us. Tell me everything that happened in the past two days. Let me know what exactly happened, okay?”

After Sarah heard what he said, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She somewhat understood that she might have been tricked by Greta. She looked up and looked down at him as she replied, “She came here specifically to look for me a few days ago and even brought me a photo to take a look. . .”

“What photo?”

“It was taken by her lying on our bedroom bed. She hasn’t put on much clothes and your clothes are still on the bed. . . I got anxious when I saw it. . .”

Christian frowned and instantly understood what had happened. He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Sarah as he asked, “And then?”

“She told me to leave you, saying that you were already together. She then took out a bullet necklace and showed it to me. The bullet shell was engraved with the name Greta darling. She also told me that she is pregnant and that’s why you two got together again.”

“Although I was angry that night, I still didn’t believe what she said. The next day, I went to the army to look for you. But you weren’t there. Greta told me, you left a long time ago. The reason why you turned off your phone was because you didn’t want to see me. I tried my best to call you but your phone was turned off. I waited for the whole night then I came back.”

“Then I called you last night. I finally got through, and I wanted to ask you what happened. But she was the one who answered the phone. She said she missed you, so she went to see you at home. She also said that she wouldn’t be going home at night. Then I heard you calling her for dinner. Later on, she even took a photo in the bathroom and showed it to me. I got angry when I saw that photo and broke my phone. . .”

After Christian heard Sarah’s words, he instantly became angry. He stood up from the bed with a whoosh. “This Greta! I have always treated her as a good person. How could she do such a dirty thing?”

He was really angered to death!

After Christian said that, he did not care about Sarah and quickly went downstairs. Sarah saw his expression and also ran downstairs.

When she went down to the living room, she saw Christian holding his phone and making a call. She nervously walked over and grabbed his phone to look at him. “Who are you calling?”

“Of course it’s Greta! Even if she likes me, she is a soldier after all! She should know her current behavior. She has already violated the law. My marriage with you is protected by the law. Anyone who breaks the military marriage will be severely punished! What she did is too disappointing!”

Christian replied angrily. After saying that, he reached out to grab the phone in his wife’s hand, but Sarah immediately dodged it.

“Wait a moment!” Sarah became a little nervous when she heard Christian’s words.

“Tell me!” Christian looked at his wife and slowed down his tone.

“Then what will you do if you call her and she admits it?”

“Since she admits it, she will definitely be punished!”

“If we pursue her responsibility, what kind of punishment will she receive?”

“As long as I call her, she will definitely be expelled from the military, and even sent to prison!”

“Ah? So serious?” Sarah was scared when she heard Christian’s words.

“Of course! This kind of thing seems to be a small matter, but it is actually a big matter! Think about it, if a soldier’s marriage is not stable. . . If the morale of the army is unstable, the country will be unstable. She has been doing this since the beginning, even after knowing that she can’t do it, this is the most detestable!”

When he thought of what Greta had done, Christian couldn’t control his anger.

When Sarah heard Christian say it was so serious, she became afraid. She looked at him and said nervously, “Forget it. Now I know it was just a misunderstanding between us. She only did this because she liked you. Anyway, you will leave in the future. Let this matter pass.”

Although she was also angry at Greta’s actions, when she thought that Greta would probably go to jail because of this matter, she could not bear to do so.

A girl… If she were to go to jail, wouldn’t her future life be completely ruined?

Christian listened to Sarah’s words and sighed heavily. He held her hand and walked to the sofa to sit down. He lifted his arms and let her sit on his lap. He gently hugged her waist. Looking at her haggard little face, he first went over and kissed her.

“Let her go like this? Then what about the grievances you’ve suffered these past two days? You still have our child in your womb. I, Christian Cooper, finally have the chance to become a father in my thirties. What if something happened to our child?”

Christian was a little scared when he thought about it. Fortunately, although his little wife was angry, she did not do anything she did not want to do.

“I’m fine now, right? In any case, I just cried a few times. It wasn’t easy for her to make it to the Colonel. If you really let her go to jail, then her life would be completely ruined.” She didn’t want to do things too extreme. No matter how much Greta went overboard, Sarah couldn’t force her into a dead end.

Christian listened to Sarah’s words and understood that there were some things that he should take care of. He also could not let her know what he would do to Greta.

Greta’s actions were seriously beyond his bottom line, and it’s impossible to just let her do whatever she wants. But he knew his little wife was a soft-hearted person. So after listening to her, he looked at

her and nodded slightly. “Alright. For the sake of my wife, I won’t hold her accountable for now! But wife, even if I won’t hold her accountable, shouldn’t we discuss holding you responsible now?”

Sarah immediately blinked and looked at him. “Why do you want to punish me? I didn’t do anything wrong!”
