The Contract Marriage Chapter 279

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Ever since Ruby left that day, she had cut off all contact with him.

Although he had asked his mother to look for her in the next few days and he himself had sent people

to look for her, but they all said that they could not see Ruby’s shadow.

When Ruby left, Julian was afraid that such a thing would happen. He did not expect that it would

actually happen now.

Julian’s heart was tightly gripped. He was nervous, uneasy, and afraid. He was afraid that in his life, he

would very likely pass without Ruby.

When Julian heard that his father was getting better today, he asked his secretary to send him to the

hospital. Christian had already received a call from Julian, so he had been waiting at the door for a long

time.

Now that Ruby was not by Julian’s side, Christian could understand Julian’s uneasiness and fear.

When he saw Julian walk out of the car, he quickly went up to grab his hand and took him to Ethan’s

ward.

Julian’s eyes could not see, but after hearing Christian talk about his father’s condition, he was still very

happy in his heart. Christian helped Julian sit down next to the bed. Julian held his father’s hand and

chatted with him for a while.

After sitting in his father’s ward for a while, Julian asked Christian to take him to the sofa and sit down.

“What is it? Do you have something to say to me?” Seeing his brother’s anxious look, Christian asked

slowly.

“Big Brother, you have to help me!” Julian grabbed Christian’s hand and said nervously.

“What do you want me to help you with?”

“Can you help me find Ruby? I don’t have any news about her now. I have a bad feeling that something

has happened to her.” Julian had not been able to get any information about Ruby in the past few days,

so he could not think of a better direction.

“Alright. Then I will help you take a look.” Christian nodded his head in understanding.

“Can you go now?” Julian could not wait any longer. Without Ruby, he felt that he could not do

anything.

“Don’t be too anxious. I will first arrange this place and then go to her house to take a look. You go

back to the company first. Is this okay?” Seeing his brother’s nervous and anxious expression,

Christian comforted him slowly.

“I’m not going back! I’ll wait for you here! Big Brother, you don’t know. Ruby is not by my side right now,

so I can’t do anything. I can’t see anything from the start. But now, I can’t even concentrate when

others are talking. Just let me wait here, okay?”

Christian looked at Julian’s expression and nodded slightly. “Okay, then I’ll call Aunt Daphne over first.”

As finished speaking, he took out his phone.

Daphne came very quickly. She was originally in Sarah’s delivery room. As soon as she received the

call, she rushed over in less than two minutes.

Christian first returned to Sarah’s delivery room. As soon as he entered, he saw that the two little

fellows had just eaten milk and they both fell asleep in a second.

Christian greeted Sarah and Samantha and then left the hospital.

He drove over according to the address of Ruby’s house that his brother had told him.

Ruby’s house was in the rural area of the suburbs. Christian drove for more than an hour before he

finally found it. After asking about Ruby’s home address, Christian’s car finally stopped in front of

Ruby’s house.

Looking at the fence door in front of him, and then looking at the tricycle parked in front of the door,

Christian lifted his foot and walked into Ruby’s house.

Before, he only knew that Ruby’s house was poor. But when he pushed open the fenced door and

walked into the yard, only then did Christian know what kind of situation Ruby’s family was in.

It was almost noon. When Christian walked into the yard, he heard many people talking and laughing in

the house. He glanced around and found that Ruby’s house had a total of four tile rooms. In addition to

the main room having a door, there was also a door in the side room. However, there was a lock on the

door.

On the open-air stove, two women were chatting happily and busily. When they saw Christian, the

stranger, walk in, both of them stood up and looked at him.

“Brother, who are you looking for?” One of the women, who was in her thirties or forties, looked at

Christian and asked him warmly.

This was the countryside. It was not like the city where people would get angry when they saw

someone entering their house.

“Hello, Big Sister. I want to ask if this is Ruby’s home?” Christian asked slowly.

“Yes. Who are you? How do you know the name of our Ruby?” Another woman in her fifties or sixties

looked at Christian vigilantly.

“Oh, it’s like this. When Ruby was working in the company, I borrowed some money from her. I went on

a business trip a while ago, and just came back today. I heard that she wasn’t at the company

anymore. So I asked around along the way. Are you Ruby’s mother?”

Looking at the other party’s vigilant expression, Christian did not reveal his identity.

The other party sized the man up carefully.

In the army, Christian had faced many situations much worse than this. He had even handled the

enemies in the war singlehandedly, let alone a country bumpkin, who was sizing him up now.

“Oh, I am not her mother. Today Ruby is engaged. Her mother is in the house chatting with her in-laws.

I am Ruby’s aunt.” When the other party heard that the man was here to return the money, she

immediately relaxed her vigilance.

Hearing this, Christian frowned. “Engagement? How old is Ruby? Why is she engaged so soon just like

that?”

When the other woman heard Christian’s words, she could not help but laugh. “I can tell that you are

from the city. You might be a little older when you get engaged there, but here Ruby is not considered

young. She can even get married.”

“Then elder sister, don’t tell me that she will get married in few days?”

The woman heard his words and smiled. “You’re right, he said. Next month, 8th, auspicious day.”

“Is that so? That’s really a good thing. Then can you call Ruby out? I have to tell her personally about

the money. Don’t you agree?”

“That’s true, but now. . . Ruby is not in a position to see you today. . .” As she spoke, Ruby’s aunt’s

gaze seemed to sweep in the direction of the side room.

Christian heard her and smiled. “Isn’t today her engagement day? It’s not like she’s getting married. Is

she not home?”

Christian paid attention at the other party’s movements and instantly understood where Ruby was. But

he still pretended he did not know anything.

“Yes, she is. But it’s not convenient for her to see you now. Why don’t you come back another day?”

The other party said with some difficulty.

“Then can you tell me when she will be free?”

“I don’t know about that either. . . Why don’t you come back after the eighth of next month.” Ruby’s aunt

looked at Christian with a vigilant expression.

Christian knew that he could not get anything out of these woman, so he nodded at the two of them

and thanked them before leaving Ruby’s house.

Julian was a married man no matter what. Christian could not go to the house to find Ruby directly, so

he temporarily went back to the hospital.

Julian had been waiting in his father’s ward. When he heard that Christian had finally returned, he

nervously looked in Christian’s direction and asked.

“Big Brother, did you see Ruby? Is she home? Why didn’t she call me? Did something happen to her?”

There were too many questions that he wanted to know urgently.

Christian looked at his brother’s anxious expression and was silent for a moment. “Julian, you guessed

right. Ruby did have some problems.”

“Big Brother, what problem? Tell me quickly, what happened to Ruby?” When Julian heard Christian’s

words, he became even more nervous.

“When I went to her house today, I found out that today is the day of her engagement. And on the

eighth of next month, she will be getting married.”

“What did you say? You said. . . Ruby is getting married? No! I am going to find her!”

When Julian heard Christian’s words, he instantly stood up from the sofa and was about to walk out

when Christian grabbed his wrist.

“Sit down first. What do you think you can do for Ruby if you go like this?”

“Big Brother, she can’t marry anyone else. She can only marry me! Big Brother, help me! I can’t live

without Ruby! I can’t live without her!”

Julian nervously grabbed Christian’s hand. When he heard the news of Ruby’s engagement, his

emotions went out of control.

“Sit down first. We’ll discuss what to do first. Even if you run over like this, you can only make things

worse. If you really want to help her, you have to calm down first.”

Julian heard Christian’s words and sat down. He looked at Christian nervously. “Did you see Ruby?

How is she feeling? Is she happy? Doesn’t she miss me at all?”

“I didn’t see her. She must have been forced to get engaged. Now that she was locked up in a remote

room, she must have suffered a lot. She’s not in a good situation at all.”

“Then. . . Big Brother, can you help me bring her out? As long as she comes out again, I won’t let her

go back anymore.”

“Actually, the most important thing right now isn’t to bring her back. It’s just that you have to think about

how to resolve this matter from the very start. Right now, she’s only getting engaged, not getting

married. There are still some days until the eighth of next month. You have to solve this problem from

the very start. After all, you are still a married man. If you really plan to be together with Ruby, you must

first resolve the relationship between you and Vivian, right?”

Julian nodded. “Big Brother, you are right. I was too impatient. I know what I should do.”

After coming out of his father’s ward, Julian asked his mother to take him to Vivian’s delivery room.

His Big Brother was right. If he wanted to be together with Ruby, the most urgent thing right now was to

settle his marriage with Vivian.

On the way, when Daphne heard Julian say that he was going to find Vivian to discuss the divorce, she

stopped in her tracks.

“Julian, I know you don’t like her now. But you have s child now after all. No matter how good Ruby’s

temper is, if she marries you, she will be the child’s stepmother. And if she has your own child in the

future, it will definitely not be good for Stephen either.”

“You all know that a stepmother and stepson will always be at odds with each other. Just look at the

relationship between me and your Big Brother. Was I able to accept Christian as my own son? Or was

Christian able to accept me as his mother? Just to avoid me, Christian left everything and joined army,

you also know that. I don’t want Stephen to live such a life. So think about the divorce carefully, okay?”

Although Daphne was also angry with Vivian, no matter what, Vivian was the biological mother of her

grandson. This point could not be changed by anyone.

“Mom, I can’t let myself suffer for the sake of my child for the rest of my life. I can’t see it with my eyes

now. You also know how she treated me. Is that kind of woman worthy of being Stephen’s mother?

Anyway, I’m going to divorce her!”
