The Contract Marriage

Chapter 272

Vivian, Mrs. Holmes and Hannah were too busy with Stephen that they did not notice the door to the delivery room had been opened.

When Daphne carried the child up, the three of them looked over simultaneously. Soon, they realized that Daphne was not the only one who came. Even Julian and Lee Ruby came together.

So it turned out that. . . When Julian was preparing to have lunch this afternoon, he suddenly wanted to come here and take a look, so he called his mother. Daphne was worried about her son. So they invited each other over to take a look again.

However, Daphne did not expect to see such a horrifying scene the moment she entered the room!

Stephen, who was in her arms, choked until his face turned red. Daphne nervously patted his back and comforted him for a long time before Stephen could finally catch his breath. Immediately after that, he let out a loud cry!

“Wuaaa. . .!!!”

Daphne angrily looked at the mother and daughter pair. “Vivian, is there a mother like you? You are trying to kill him! Luckily I know that you gave birth to him. If it was someone else’s first time seeing him, they would really suspect that you are not his biological mother!”

“And Mrs. Holmes, I was so relieved to give the child to you, but what are you doing? If it was not for Ethan’s illness and the fact that he has been hospitalized, I would never let you take care of him no matter what! I’ve lived for fifty or sixty years, and this is the first time I’ve seen a biological mother and grandmother like you! I’m so disappointed! I think it’s better if you don’t take care of this child!” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Daphne was trembling in anger as she spoke. After she finished speaking, she carried Stephen and left without looking back.

Although Julian could not see, from his mother’s words, he already understood what had happened.

Standing at the door, Julian held Ruby’s hand tightly and looked in Vivian’s general direction. He said coldly, “Vivian. I originally thought that you were the mother of my child and that you still had a little kindness in your heart! Now it seems that. . . You are not even worthy of being a mother! Since it is like this, I am not afraid to tell you today. I don’t want to continue our marriage anymore. After you’re done with your confinement, let’s divorce!”

After saying that, he grabbed Ruby’s hand and was about to leave.

“Julian! What did you just say? You. . . Tell me again!” Vivian stared at Julian, who was at the door, in disbelief.

He actually proposed a divorce!

Mrs. Holmes also nervously looked at Julian at the door. She did not believe what she just heard!

“Vivian, my marriage with you is a mistake! Now is the time to return to normal! I will give you some compensation. One month later, we will go through the divorce procedures!”

After Julian said that, he let Ruby bring him out of the delivery room and went to Sarah’s room.

From the moment Daphne rushed over, Mrs. Holmes’s heart had nervously jumped to her throat. When she thought about what her daughter had just done to Stephen and the fact that Daphne saw it all, her heart began to beat nervously.

And what surprised her even more was that her son-in-law, Julian, had actually appeared at this time. She watched helplessly as Julian left with Ruby. She nervously looked at her daughter on the bed. Her lips trembled for a long time.

“This. . . What should we do? It’s over now, Vivian. . . Say something!” Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter and said uneasily.

Vivian also did not think that this kind of thing would suddenly happen. She angrily looked at Hannah who was at the side and angrily grabbed the apple on the bedside table and fiercely smashed it over.

“You damn lass! Are you a dead person? What is the use of letting you come? Get lost!”

The apple hit Hannah’s chest with a bang, and she felt a burst of pain. Hannah was so scared that her face changed. She did not dare to say a word and hurriedly ran out of the room.

Mrs. Holmes recovered her senses and quickly walked to the door. She reached out and quickly locked the door. She walked back to her daughter’s bed and sat down. She looked at her daughter in fear and worry.

“Vivian, didn’t your mother-in-law said that she would not come back today? Why did she run back in the blink of an eye? Vivian, you really should not have forced if the child doesn’t want to eat. If you continued what you did that just now, then wouldn’t you be going to kill him? Anyone would get angry if they saw it!”

Thinking about the scene of Vivian losing control just now, Mrs. Holmes could not help but complain.

“Mom!” Vivian, who was already extremely angry in her heart, shouted at her mother at the top of her voice, “Can you not always help others speak? What can I do if that devilish brat doesn’t drink milk powder?”

Mrs. Holmes was also somewhat depressed in her heart when her daughter shouted at her, “Why are you shouting at me? The matter was done by yourself! He just doesn’t drink milk anymore! It’s even good that your mother-in-law saw it all now. Did you hear what she said just now? She really doubt if you are his biological mother or not! What do you think we should do?”

“Also, Julian, why did he suddenly say that he wants to divorce you? He even said that he will give you a villa after giving birth to a son. You haven’t even left the hospital yet, and he’s going to divorce you. . . Sigh. . .”

Everything that happened just now, it made Mrs. Holmes’s heart feel uneasy.

“Hmph! He had taken a fancy to Ruby. He wanted to divorce me and marry Ruby. Hmph, there’s no way!” Vivian’s eyes fiercely narrowed as she spoke.

Daphne originally felt that she had already instructed the mother and daughter before she left and listened to the words when they had agreed very straightforwardly. So from the bottom of her heart, she really believed the words of the mother and daughter.

Julian called at noon and said that he would come to the hospital. She was worried that her son would not be able to see. That was why she wanted to come with him.

However, she never would have thought that just as door to the delivery room, she would see such a shocking scene.

After coming out of Vivian’s delivery room, Stephen who was in her arms kept crying loudly. His small body was crying in Daphne’s arms until it twitched. That originally cute little face was still red because of what happened just now.

Daphne carried Stephen and quickly went to Sarah’s room.

Because she had heard Stephen’s crying a long time ago, the moment Daphne came in, Sarah nervously looked at Stephen who was in Daphne’s arms. “Aunt Daphne, why is Stephen crying so badly this time?”

Daphne was so angry that her chest kept moving up and down. She first put Stephen beside Sarah and then said angrily, “I am really angered to death! It is the first time in my life that I have seen a mother like this!”

Samantha looked at the angry Daphne and her expression changed. She first invited Daphne to sit on the sofa and saw Julian and Ruby also enter the room.

Daphne did not care whether her son was here or not and looked at Samantha who was at the side and said, “I am really angered to death! Just now I originally wanted to bring Julian to see Stephen. But when I opened the door and went in, I was shocked by what I saw. Vivian took the milk bottle and forcefully poured milk powder into Stephen’s mouth. The child choked until his face turned purple. He could not even catch his breath. But she kept pressing down on him and did not let go. Stephen’s grandmother watched from the side but did not do anything. If I had gone in a little later, Stephen would probably have lost his life. How can I not be angry?”

Daphne was so angry that her lungs felt like they were going to explode.

Samantha found it unbelievable when she heard it, “It’s impossible, right? No matter what, Vivian is also the mother of the child? Doesn’t she feel any heartache at all?”

“Yes! I’m also puzzled. But do you think there is such a mother? If my child did not drink milk, will I force him to him to death? Aiyo. . . I’m so angry that my chest hurts. . .” Daphne said as she angrily covered her chest. She felt uncomfortable there.

“Don’t be too angry. Maybe Vivian is also angry. . .” Seeing Daphne’s angry look, Samantha slowly comforted her.

“Even if she is angry, how can she do this? Stephen is the flesh that fell from her body after ten months of pregnancy. Others would not feel sorry for him. Doesn’t she feel bad for herself?” Daphne could not understand this matter no matter what.

When Stephen reached his mother’s arms, there was still grievance on his small face. But when he touched his mother’s chest, he held it in his mouth while crying. However, after eating two mouthfuls, he spat it out again.

Perhaps it was because his throat was uncomfortable. Or perhaps it was because his mouth was still hurting from being pinched just now, he started to cry again with a ‘wuu’ sound.

Seeing the child’s small red face, Sarah’s heart felt like it was dig open. She reached out and pulled the child into her embrace, coaxed him gently. But Stephen still couldn’t help but cry out loud.

In the end, Sarah had no choice and could only look at Christian, who was at the side, and ask for help. “Hubby, quickly hug him and coax him.”

Hearing this, Christian walked over and carefully carried Stephen into his arms. He walked back and forth a few times in the room and gently patted his little body. He even kept talking to him.

Perhaps it was the first time he heard his father speak, Stephen’s crying slowly stopped. Stephen opened his grape like eyes, which was somewhat same like his father’s and blinked. But there was still a faint sound of sobs coming out of the little guy’s throat.

Christian saw that the little guy was more or less in a good mood, so he put him back to his wife’s side.

This time as soon as Stephen touched his mother’s body, he swallowed it with force. He closed his eyes tightly, and at the corners of his eyes was still red. His small fist was pressed against his mother’s body and his small body was tightly pressed against Sarah’s. His emotions also slowly stabilized.

Christian looked at his brother beside him and then looked at Ruby beside him. He then slowly said, “How are the two days in the company?”

Julian nodded. “Nothing major has happened for the time being. The matter of Dad’s illness has not been announced yet. I can handle some matters in the company myself.”

“Have you had lunch?”

“I wanted to see Stephen before going to eat. I didn’t expect to encounter that kind of thing the moment I went in. I can’t live with that kind of woman no matter what!”

Julian shook his head in disappointment as he spoke. He originally thought that even if Vivian could not be a wife, she would still be a good mother. But who knew that she would not even know how to be a mother.

When Daphne heard her son’s words, she got angry again. When she gritted her teeth and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want it! I have never seen a mother like this at such an old age!”

Christian looked at Daphne’s angry look and then looked at his brother. His gaze landed on Ruby, who was at the side, and he said slowly, “Ruby, stay behind. I will take Julian to have lunch.”

Ruby immediately nodded, but she still looked at Julian with some worry.

Christian greeted his wife and mother-in-law. He walked to his brother’s side and held his hand. He looked at Ruby and said, “You don’t have to worry about Julian.

“Yes!” Ruby nodded and let go of Julian’s hand.
