The Contract Marriage

Joseph sent the two juniors off, and ordered the driver to prepare the car for him. He then gave Ethan a call and found out that
he was at the company, so he made an appointment with Ethan to go to Cooper Group to discuss some matters with him.
When Ethan heard this, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He promised to wait for Joseph at the company.
Joseph's Rolls-Royce quickly stopped at the entrance of Cooper Group. Joseph got out of the car, and Ethan's secretary was
already waiting at the entrance. He immediately greeted Joseph respectfully and brought him directly to Ethan's office.
When Joseph walked into Ethan's office, Ethan had already made a good cup of tea and was waiting for the former. They shook
hands and greeted each other. Joseph smiled and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Ethan sat opposite him and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Joseph with a smile. "Brother Joseph, why did you have time to
come here today?"
Joseph smiled brightly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put down the teacup and looked at Ethan jokingly. He
said, "Is it because I'm fine, so I can't come and chat with you?"
"You must be joking. It's my wish that you can come and chat with me!"
"Haha!" Joseph laughed heartily again. He looked at Ethan and said slowly, "I really have something to talk to you about today. "
"Oh, I wonder what Big Brother Joseph wants to talk to me about?"
"I came to talk to you about Samantha today."
"What happened to Samantha? Did something happen to her?" Ethan was a little nervous when he heard what Joseph said. He
thought something had happened to Samantha.
"Nothing happened to her. It’s just that after Sarah got married, she still lived at home often. I don't need to tell you this. You
should know better than me, right?"
"Yes, that's right! In the past, Christian was out of the city. At that time, Sarah had always lived at her mother's house. She would

only return to the villa on the weekend. "
"But now? Ever since Sarah gave birth, she doesn’t go to her home often. And Daphne had also unexpectedly passed away.
Sarah had now become the mistress of Cooper Family. There were many things that needed her to take care of at home. So
now, the number of times she went home was getting lesser and lesser. Am I right?"
"Yes! She should go back once or twice a week. . . Mainly because she still has two children to take care of at home. . ."
"But have you ever thought that in this way, Samantha will only be left alone? She is now also in her fifties. If there are any
accidents at home, what do you think she should do?"
Ethan nodded in agreement. He looked at Joseph and asked, "Then what Big Brother means is. . . To find a maid for her?"
Joseph smiled. "If it was just to find a maid, what do you think I will come here for? I can just bring her to the villa. I once wanted
Samantha to stay in Wilson Family. When I thought about how she would be alone when she went home, I couldn't be at ease.
But Samantha insisted on going back. We tried to convince her for a long time, but she said that she could not sleep well in the
villa. In the end, I still agreed to her suggestion and let her go back to her home.”
Joseph paused and looked at Ethan deeply, “Ethan, I came to find you today, it because I didn't treat you as an outsider. To tell
you the truth, the reason I came here today is to matchmake you and Samantha, even though I know that you have just lost your
wife. As a Big Brother, I am also worried about my younger sister. I have always felt that you are a good person, and you have
some common language with Samantha. If you two can be partners, I will definitely be relieved!"
Ethan did not feel surprised when he heard Joseph's words. He just nodded slightly. "Actually, when I was in the hospital a while
ago, Samantha took good care of me during that time. Big Brother did not treat me as an outsider, I also did not treat Big Brother
as an outsider. When I was in the hospital, she kept talking to me. She chatted and took care of me very carefully.
“To be honest, there were a lot of things that she didn’t need to do. But she still didn't dislike to do it. Wipe my back, wash my
feet, comb my hair, she took care of every little thing. Actually, those things that Samantha did, even Daphne wasn’t willing to do
it.”
“But Brother. . . There was a saying that went, 'You cannot covet your friend’s wife'. Even if I think Samantha is not bad, I cannot

be with her! She is my best friend's wife. If I really did that. . ."
Joseph heard his words and waved his hand again, interrupting what Ethan was about to say. "You are now alone. Samantha is
also alone now. What you said is when your brother is still alive. But now that Patrick is not here, it’s not applicable. I think that
when he left this world, he must have told you to take care of both of them, right?”
Ethan nodded in agreement.
"You are all in your fifties or sixties now. You are no longer like young people when you are together. It’s just like getting a wife
but it’s more like getting a companion when you are old. She can talk to you. She can accompany you for a walk. Even if there is
an accident, she could also make a phone call at the first possible moment. This is completely different from what you said about
coveting your friend’s wife! Do you understand?"
Ethan was silent for a moment, then he slowly asked, "But what if Samantha doesn't agree?"
Joseph smiled. "I will do her work! I came here today to ask you what your opinion is. "
"Then. . . Alright. . . " Ethan did not answer directly.
"What kind of tone is that? Will it work or not?"
"I have no problem with that. I am just afraid that if Samantha does not agree, how will I meet her in the future?"
"Are you still the chairman? You do not even have this much of courage?"
"Okay! I'll listen to Big Brother!"
"That's more like it! Alright, leave Samantha's matter to me. Wait for the news. I'll call you when the time comes." Joseph
immediately stood up from the sofa when he heard that. He looked at Ethan and said, “I have called Samantha and asked her to
have lunch, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay! Take care, Big Brother."

Joseph came out of the Cooper Group and went to his sister Samantha's house. Christian, Sarah, and Ethan's attitude made him
see hope in this matter. As long as he could solve his sister's problem, he would be completely at ease.
Knowing that her Big Brother was coming, Samantha made a sumptuous lunch this afternoon. Although it was all home-cooked
food, it was something Joseph liked.
The two siblings sat down at the dining table. Samantha picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food for her brother. She
warmly asked him to eat more.
"Samantha, I can do it myself. Do you know why Big Brother came to your place for lunch today?" Joseph picked up some food
and tried it. He put down his chopsticks and looked at his sister and asked slowly.
Samantha smiled, "You want to see me?"
"I came today because of what I told you the other day."
"What is it?" Samantha had long forgotten about that matter.
"It is about you and Ethan."
"Oh ho, Big Brother, why did you bring up that matter again? Didn't I tell you? No! It is definitely impossible! How could there be
such a thing? Mother and daughter are married to the same family. If this gets out, others will laugh their teeth off!" Samantha
heard Joseph talk about the matter that day again and her face turned red.
"What's so funny about that? Besides, it's other people's right whether others laugh or not, but whether you live for yourself or for
others?"
"No, no, no! How can this be possible? You don't want to think about it either. I am Christian's mother-in-law now. If. . . If I change
my identity, what will it become?" Samantha did not agree with this matter no matter what.
"You are very familiar with Christian and Julian. What is there to be afraid of? It is reasonable for them to call you mother! I called

Christian and Sarah to the company early in the morning and told them about this. Do you know what Christian said after hearing
it? "
"What else can he say? He definitely would not have agreed!"
"He's commander! You've really underestimated him! He immediately agreed, but Sarah was worried that you might hesitate.
Other than that, she also doesn’t have any problem with this. Later, I went to Ethan's company and directly told him about this
matter. . . "
"Big Brother! Why are you like this? Then how can I see him in the future?" Samantha heard Joseph's words and felt extremely
embarrassed. In the future, when she saw Ethan, she felt that she would not have the face to meet him anymore.
"Of course, how should I not see him?! Do you know his attitude?"
Samantha averted her gaze. She pursed her lips and felt that this matter was extremely awkward. "What other attitude can he
have?"
"He agreed! He said that during the time he was in the hospital, you took care of him very carefully and even chatted with him
nonstop. A lot of work should only be done by a wife, but you didn’t hesitate to do those things. I can tell that Ethan actually likes
you. . . "
Samantha was even more embarrassed and waved at Joseph repeatedly. "Aiya, Big Brother, you came today to see me make a
fool of myself, right? I am already so old, how can I do that kind of thing? No, no! This matter absolutely cannot be done! You
must not mention it again in the future!"
Samantha did not agree no matter what Joseph said. Her thinking was more conservative. If it was someone else, there might
still be a possibility of accepting it. But that person was not someone else. It was her daughter’s father-in-law. If this were to
spread, others would definitely laugh at it!
After lunch, no matter what Joseph said, Samantha did not agree with this matter. In the end, Joseph really had no way to deal
with this younger sister, so he could only take his leave and leave his younger sister's home.

...
Christian and Sarah came out of the Wilson Group and drove back to Villa of Cooper Family. In less than ten minutes after the
car drove out, Christian's phone rang.
After he saw the caller ID, Christian turned the steering wheel and parked the car by the side of the road. He quickly pressed the
answer button.
The person who called was Christian's old comrade, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Warren.
"Christian, good news!" As soon as the phone was connected, Warren's voice was heard. It sounded like something good had
happened.
Christian immediately asked, "Have Greta and Hannah been found?"
"Hannah has already been found."
"That's great! Where is Hannah now? What did she say?"
"I think you should come! Let's talk about some details in person!"
