The Contract Marriage

Chapter 168

This question stunned Sarah. She had long forgotten the promise she made to Greta. Hearing the other party ask her so directly, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But she knew that Greta had always helped Christian treat his leg injury and now it was in the city where she lived. So even though she knew that the other party’s words were somewhat impolite, she still looked at Greta and smiled. “Why did Doctor Hughes suddenly ask me this?”

Greta’s eyebrows slightly raised when she heard that. She went straight to the point and asked back, “Don’t tell me you have already forgotten your promise to me?”

“What promise?” Sarah did not understand what she meant.

“Haha, I did not expect you to really forget everything! Do you remember when you first came to the army with Christian? You said to me on the field that day that your marriage with Christian was just an agreement. You said you would wait until three months were up and then will go with him to settle the divorce procedures. I have always remembered your words. Now, I’m waiting for you to tell me the good news.”

Actually, if Sarah did not tell her these words previously, perhaps she would have given up. But it was that conversation that made her keep it in her heart.

After waiting for a few months, she originally wanted to start over with Christian with hope. But when she heard it, the news that Christian was going to spend the rest of his life with Sarah…. To her, this was a fatal blow.

When Greta thought about how she trusted Sarah’s words so much, but Sarah lied to her for more than three months, she could not swallow this anger in her heart.

When Sarah heard her words, her face immediately became somewhat awkward and she did not know how to face Greta. But she also understood that there were some things that she could not avoid. So she could only look at Greta apologetically,

“Doctor Hughes. I should not have said those words to you at that time. There was originally an agreement between Christian and me. But none of us thought that we would fall in love with each other in the next few months. Thus, the agreement between us was voided. We’ve already decided to live together, I’m really sorry!”

Greta could not help but frown when she heard her words. She looked at Sarah opposite her and coldly said, “Sarah, Don’t pretend in front of me. I know that there is no relationship between the two of you. It was you who kept pestering Christian because not only did he have a good family background, but also he became a commander recently. You can’t bear to part with his identity and family background. Christian has already told me these things. The reason I came today is to bring you a few words on behalf of Christian. He originally wanted to bring up the divorce with you, but he was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accept it for a moment. That’s why he asked me to come and find you.”

Sarah heard her words and smiled in disbelief. “Doctor Hughes, did you find the wrong person? How could Christian say such things to me? Are you mistaken?”

Greta looked at her indifferently and took out her phone from her pocket. She quickly opened the few photos on it and handed them to Sarah. “Take a look at what is on this?”

Sarah looked at her in confusion and then reached out to pick up the phone Greta handed over. Her gaze fell on her large phone screen. This photo was Greta’s selfie. It looked like it was night time and she was barely wearing any clothes.

Sarah only swept a glance and looked up at Greta in puzzlement, “Isn’t this your photo? Why are you showing this to me?”

“I am not asking you to look at me. I am asking you to see where this room is.” Greta reminded her with a cold face.

Hearing Greta’s words, Sarah’s gaze once again fell on the photo. But this time, she was looking at the back of the room. When she saw the familiar wardrobe behind Greta and the bathroom beside the wardrobe, she felt her heart thump! Something instantly cut through her heart and gave her a heart- piercing pain.

This room was actually Christian’s bedroom in the army!

No matter what, she had lived there for a period of time, and she was already familiar with everything there!

Looking at Christian’s messy clothes on the bed, she even saw the underwear of two people wrapped around each other on the bedside table behind Greta.

Her heart sank little by little!

Something was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She reached her chest, and a layer of mist rose from her eyes, instantly blurring her vision.

Tears streamed down her face. . .

Her heart was very, very painful. It was so painful that she could not breathe. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but she still threw her phone back in disbelief. “I don’t believe it! These things are definitely not real! You lied to me on purpose!” How could the Christian she knew do such a thing?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Greta heard her words and sneered, “Is that so? Since you think so, then I have no choice! No matter how much you refuse to admit it, I think you must be familiar with this room. A few months ago, maybe

you were also lying in my position. I know you are unwilling, but I came today to hope that you can be magnanimous. Let Christian go and return our happiness! He said that you have a weak personality. He was also afraid that once he told you the truth, you won’t be able to take it.”

“I don’t believe it!” Sarah looked at her with tears in her eyes and somewhat collapsed as she retorted, “I don’t believe what you said! Christian loves me. He likes me. He is such a responsible person, and now he is even a commander. How could he do such a thing? I don’t believe it! I absolutely don’t believe it!”

Greta did not panic when she heard Sarah’s rebuttal. She only looked at the later and lightly said, “Then immediately call him and see if he will answer or not?”

Sarah immediately took out her phone unconvinced, and quickly dialed Christian’s number. But to her disappointment, Christian’s phone could not be called at all.

Sarah’s heart sank when she heard the mechanical voice that: the number you dialed had been turned off. The tears that had just stopped flowed out of her eyes.

“Impossible! Christian, answer the phone!”

Sarah called him over and over again, but the result was the same every time. Her heart was in complete chaos.

Greta looked at her somewhat collapsed expression and took out a necklace from her bag and placed it in front of her. “This is the necklace Christian made for me. Look at what is carved on it.”

Sarah stared at the handmade necklace made of bullet shells with teary eyes. Her hands trembled as she reached over and picked it up. She slowly took it and placed it in front of her eyes. On the bullet shell, she clearly saw the words: Darling Greta.

Her heart was tightly clenched together. It was so painful that she could not breathe.

Tears streamed down her face again and again. She threw the necklace back and silently picked up the bag beside her, wanting to leave!

The sudden blow made her somewhat unable to bear it. At this moment, she really wanted to find a place to hide and cry to her heart’s content!

But just as she stood up, Greta grabbed her wrist. “We haven’t finished talking between us. You can’t leave now!”

Sarah looked at her with tears in her eyes. “What else do you want to talk about with me? Talk about how you two love each other?”

Deep in her heart, she also wanted to believe Christian. She wanted to believe that everything she saw was an illusion. But that room was too familiar to her. It was so familiar that she could close her eyes and know where the place was. She immediately understood the authenticity of that photo.

She really didn’t want to believe it. But with Christian’s personality, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had an intimate relationship with this doctor in front of her, how could Greta appear in their bedroom?

She said that the photo was fake but even she could not convince herself.

“This matter concerns Christian’s future. I have come to find you today. I hope you can be magnanimous. If this matter is exposed to the army. . . His career as a soldier will definitely be affected. I do not wish for such a thing to happen. I’ve been in contact with you for a while now, I also understand that you’re a kind-hearted girl, and I only hope that this time. . . You can let Christian go and peacefully divorce him. Is that alright?”

Greta was a soldier, and she understood what kind of impact this sort of thing would have on a soldier’s image. She liked Christian, but she didn’t want this to have any negative impact on him.

Sarah heard what Greta said and tightened her grip on her handbag. She teeth and looked at Greta. “When. . . Did you guys start?”

Greta slightly blinked her eyes. After listening to Sarah’s question, she understood that Sarah already believed what she said. Even if she did not completely believe it, it would definitely affect her psychology.

Greta slowed down her voice and replied, “Actually, we were together before you guys got married, when his leg was not injured. At that time, we were just impulsive. Later, Vivian betrayed him. The reason why he married you was because he wanted to take revenge from his brother. But the person he truly loved was me!”

Looking at Sarah’s broken expression, Greta continued, “If you still don’t believe what I say, then you can think about it properly. He has been married to you for such a long time, did he ever tell you that he loves you?”

The corner of Sarah’s mouth twitched unnaturally. In her memory, Christian had never said the words I love you to her!

She stood silently on the spot, her heart in complete chaos!

Greta looked at Sarah who had been standing silently on the spot without moving. That pair of white hands had been tightly holding onto the bag. Large drops of tears flowed out of her eyes. Greta understood that her words had worked.

Greta stood up from the chair, walked in front of Sarah and continued to speak slowly, “I know that you are feeling very uncomfortable right now. But this is also something that can’t be helped. Christian doesn’t know how to tell you. So I have to tell you the truth. There’s one more thing that I have to tell you when I come today. . .”

Sarah immediately stared at this cold and indifferent woman with tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth as she asked, “Quickly say it!”

“You also know that Christian is a person who values relationships. He also feels sorry for you, but he also feels that you will definitely not divorce him for a while, so he has already applied to go to another place for a year. The transfer order should be coming soon. I think you will understand what I am saying when the time comes.”

“When Christian and I just got married, he told me everything. He and you are just comrades. He doesn’t like you at all! If you really exist in his heart. . . Why did he still want to marry me? Why did he still want to break the three-month agreement with me?” Sarah thought of these things and once again began to doubt Greta’s words.

“He broke the agreement with you because at that time, he still did not know that I am already pregnant.”

“You. . . What did you say? You’re pregnant?” Sarah looked at Greta in disbelief and her gaze landed on her lower abdomen. She then looked at Greta and asked back.

“Yes! On the same night that his leg recovered, we were together again. . .”

“Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Sarah continuously said three impossible and excitedly pushed Greta away and ran out of the room without looking back.

Sarah excitedly ran out of the hotel and walked along the sidewalk without stopping. She thought of the few photos that she had just seen. Thinking about Greta saying that she was pregnant, tears kept flowing down.

What Greta said. . . She really did not want to believe it, but that photo made her speechless! It was clearly her and Christian’s bedroom. But Greta appeared in that manner, and she couldn’t say anything.

Such a fiery scene, what else could she say?

She took out her phone from her pocket and found Christian’s number. She called him again and again, but every time, the same voice came from the phone: Hello! The number you have dialed has been turned off!

Sarah’s heart sank to the bottom as she listened to the emotionless voice again and again.

His phone had never been turned off since they got married!

Why did he turn off his phone this time? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Could it be that something ambiguous had really happened between him and Greta?

If what Greta said was true, then what should she do? What should she do with the child in her womb?

She looked up at this familiar city and a deep sense of despair surged out from the depths of her heart. . .
