The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 25 Why?
She can’t let him face it all alone! At lease she could not let him face Julian and Vivian alone!
When she thought of this, a trace of determination slid across Sarah’s face. She turned around and walked out of the room.
When he heard the footsteps at the door disappear, Christian opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He turned his head to look at
the sky outside the window and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. His deep and bottomless eyes flashed with a complicated
light. No one could see what he was thinking at the moment.
Sarah first went to the bathroom and finally found a cleaning tool. Then she took it and went to Christian’s room again.
When she walked in, he was still sitting by the bed like before. Seeing her walk in, his eyes lit up.
“Why did you come back?”
“When did I say I was leaving?”
Sarah looked at the things scattered on the ground not far away. She put the cleaning tools aside first and walked to Christian.
She squatted down beside him and held his arm.
“I will help you to the bed. The ground is cold...”
Christian looked at her silently and did not refuse. Supporting the bed with his hands, he sat on the bed with Sarah’s help.
After settling Christian down, Sarah first helped wheelchair up. Looking at the remote control button on the handrail, she tested it
with her fingers. She found that it was still useful. She smiled at Christian. “Looks like it’s quite strong!” She pushed the
wheelchair to Christian’s bed as she spoke. She looked at him and said.
“You can’t do this to it in the future. It’s your most important friend now. If it doesn’t care about you, you won’t be able to move an
inch...”
Christian looked at her silently. The expression on his face eased a little, but it was still cold and hard.
“You really talk a lot...”

Sarah smiled. She knew that this was his personality. She did not mind at all. Seeing that he was fine, she started to clean up the
broken glass on the floor.
Christian leaned against the headboard. He kept silently looking at her.
Sarah finished tidying up the debris on the floor and then took them all to the door. She even took out the frames of the tea table.
She cleaned up the bedroom and then walked to Christian’s bedside.
“I have nothing to do today. I will go back first. You have a good rest.” After saying that, she picked up her bag and was about to
leave.
“What exactly are you doing here today?” Christian looked at her and asked coldly.
Sarah was stunned by his question and turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
“Tell me, when are you going to settle the divorce procedures with me?”
Sarah thought for a moment and looked at him to ask. “Didn’t we agree that it would be three months later?”
Christian’s eyes lit up. He looked at the sky outside.
“Jayson will be back very late tonight. There are vegetables in the kitchen. Help me make dinner before you leave.”
“Okay!” Sarah agreed without thinking. His health was not convenient, which was an indisputable fact. Even if he was a stranger,
she should stay and take care of him. Not to mention, he was her legal husband now!
“Then you should rest well. I’ll go and cook first.” Sarah said as she was about to walk out of the room.
“Wait a minute! Help me sit in the wheelchair first.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Christian called out to her again.
Sarah walked back and helped him sit in the wheelchair first. Feeling that there was no more problem, she walked out of the
room and went straight to the kitchen.
Although Sarah’s family was not rich, she had been spoiled by her parents since she was a kid. But since she lost her father nine
years ago, she had started to learn to do housework. So cooking dinner was not a difficult thing for her. The things in the fridge
were very complete. Sarah took out a few vegetables and meat. She quickly made dinner.

After about an hour of work, Sarah finally brought dinner to the table. She set up the chopsticks and wanted to call Christian to
have dinner in the study, but she found that he had already come out in a wheelchair.
Seeing him sit properly at the dining table, Sarah said slowly, “Dinner is ready, you can eat slowly. I will go back first.”
"Okay!” Christian picked up the chopsticks and nodded, then began to eat quietly.
Sarah saw that he did not say anything else. She hesitated a little and said, “My mom said that our wedding was delayed by a
week. She asked me to communicate with you about it. Is that so?”
“Yes, come over after breakfast tomorrow!” Christian nodded faintly.
“Got it.” Sarah nodded and walked to the door with her bag. She changed her shoes and quickly left Christian’s apartment.
Hearing the sound of the living room door closing, Christian’s hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment in air. A
complicated light flashed in his deep eyes.
This night was the most painful day for Sarah in nine years.
Her life had a tragic turning point on this day!
She hid her body under the blanket and buried her face deep in the pillow, crying enough!
All the grievances and emotions she had suffered in the past nine years had been vented in an instant!
She couldn’t figure it out. She really couldn’t figure it out!
She did not know what was wrong with her. Why did she love that man for nine years, or couldn’t compare to Vivian?
She wasn’t ugly. She was neither fat nor thin. She listened to Julian’s every word. In the past nine years, he had said that he
want to eat something, no matter how far away the road was, she would think of ways to buy it back. He said she was not mature
enough to wear clothes. She just wanted to think of ways to dress herself up more mature. He said that she did things too slowly,
so she got busy. In any case, as long as Julian made a request, she would satisfy him!
She really did not understand. She had given up so much, why did he still fall in love with another woman?
Wouldn’t a person’s effort be rewarded?

She had paid for it for nine years. Yet this was the result?
For the entire night, Sarah could not understand. But no matter how painful it was, life would still continue like before!
The next morning, Sarah got out of bed. Last night, she tossed and turned all night. She only fell asleep when it was almost
dawn. However, her mind was too heavy.
There was a slight sound in the living room. She woke up. Because she was worried about her mother, she first ran to the living
room to take a look. She found that her mother was already making breakfast. Seeing that her mother was fine, she went back to
the bedroom to wash up.
When they were eating breakfast, Samantha looked at her and reminded, “Sarah, you don’t need to go to work for this week.
Prepare your wedding with Christian properly...”
“Mom, what did Christian tell you yesterday? Did he say something too much to you?” With Christian’s personality, it was
impossible for her to get anything out of him. She could only ask from her mother.
“He didn’t say anything. He only said a few things about the family. I think this child is not bad. It’s just that his leg is slightly
injured now.”
Speaking up to this point, Samantha’s eyes still darkened. No matter how strong her endurance was, she was unable to watch
her daughter marry to a paralyzed person.
But...
“Mom, his legs will recover after a period of time. You don’t need to worry...” Sarah looked at her mother’s expression and
hurriedly explained.
Samantha nodded. “Yes, I know...”
“Mom, are you worried that I will live in Villa of Cooper Family in the future?” Sarah knew what her mother was worried about.
Samantha shook her head, “Then I am not worried. Although Ethan’s temper was a bit impatient, he was a very good person. As
long as he is in Cooper Family, plus Old Master Cooper, I won’t worry about you. As for you...”
Samantha looked up at her daughter. “Can you forget about Julian? You know him since you were young. Do you think you can
do it when you have to eat at the same table in the future?”

Samantha clearly knew what kind of character her daughter had!
Knowing that her mother was worried about her, Sarah smiled at her mother.
“Mom, he already has another woman now and Vivian is even pregnant. Maybe if we live in the same house, the wound in my
heart will recover faster.” Sarah lowered her head and looked at the porridge in the bowl. Her voice was a little choked.
“Yes, actually that is also what I meant! Sarah, you have grown up now. There will be many things in the future that you have to
face alone! The matter between you and Julian seems to be a bad thing now, but it is also a good thing. If he only tells you after
you get married... At that time, you won’t even have the chance to regret! Although Julian let you down, the people of Cooper
family treat you well. When you marry Christian in the future, you must treat them well...”
“Mom, I understand. Don’t worry.”
“Yes, Christian is not in good health right now. After you finish your meal, go and find him. See what you guys should prepare for
your wedding.”
“En.” Sarah answered faintly but her heart was mixed with mixed feelings.
Sarah went out after breakfast. Just as she walked out of the neighborhood, she received a call from her good friend Kendall. It
was only then that she remembered that she had originally arranged to have lunch with her good friend yesterday.
“Sarah! What are you doing? I called you so many times yesterday. Why didn’t you pick up any of them?” Kendall’s voice came
from the phone.
“Kendall, I broke up with Julian yesterday...” Sarah choked when she heard her friend’s voice. She did not dare to cry in front of
her mother, much less in front of others. The only person she could confide in was her best friend.
“What did you say? Tell me again!” Kendall was startled and thought that she had misheard him.
“Kendall, a lot of things happened yesterday. I don’t know how to tell you...” She remembered everything that happened
yesterday and tears of grievance fell uncontrollably.
Facing her mother and the people of Cooper family, she forcefully swallowed her tears. But when she heard the voice of her
good friend, she couldn’t able to hold it anymore. Tears kept rolling down her face. She walked along the sidewalk and cried,
attracting the strange gazes of the pedestrians.

“Sarah, what happened to you? If I didn’t hear it wrong, you just said you broke up with Julian. Is that true?”
This news gave Kendall a shock. One must know that in her heart, her good friend and Julian’s relationship was only short of a
marriage certificate.
“It is true...” Hearing her good friend ask her, Sarah choked and nodded her head.
“Where are you now? I’ll go and find you!” Kendall immediately asked when she heard that her good friends tone was not right.
“No need. Don’t you still have to work today?” Sarah did not want to delay her good friends work.
“Stop talking nonsense. Tell me where you are.” Kendall stopped her work as she spoke and quickly walked to the side of the
road to stop a taxi.
“Go to the gate of Book City and wait for me!” Knowing her good friend’s character, Sarah thought about it and replied.
