The Contract Marriage

Chapter 287 Don’t Reject Me

“I talked to him, but it doesn’t seem right now. Julian, hold on for another two days. I really can’t go back now. . .” When she returned home today, Ruby had discussed with her father about hiring a nurse, but before she could finish, her father was furious and said that she was being unfilial.

This made Ruby not dare to speak anymore. After all, no matter how much Julian needed someone to take care of him, she could not abandon her father.

“Alright, then you can take care of uncle at home for a few days. I’ll wait for you.”

“If there’s anything, call me. . .”

Julian chatted with Ruby for a while and then hung up. When he put the phone on the table, he heard the door of the room being pushed open and Vivian walked in with coffee.

During this period of time, no matter what kind of attitude Julian had towards her, giving him coffee was something she insisted on doing.

“Julian, your coffee. . .” Vivian said as she put the coffee on the table.

“Yes, I know.” Vivian had changed a lot during this period of time. Julian’s attitude towards her had also changed.

“Julian, I am in the room next door. The door is not closed. If you need anything, just call me. I’ll be going back first.” Vivian finished speaking and looked at the silent Julian. She turned around and walked out of the study.

Julian heard the study door close and then sighed. He leaned his body against the leather chair in disappointment. When he thought about Ruby not knowing when she would be back, he felt depressed.

Time slipped by a little and Julian stood up from the desk. He fumbled around and walked towards the door of the study.

From the moment he lost his sight until now, from the study to the room, he could still feel it clearly. He fumbled to the door of the study and reached out to open the door.

Just as he was about to walk into Ruby’s room, he heard Vivian running to the bedroom door in a hurry.

“Julian, are you going back to your room to rest? Come, let me help you over.” Vivian walked over as she spoke. She reached out to grab his arm and brought him to Ruby’s room.

Julian stopped in his tracks and reached out to gently push her arm. “No need. I can walk by myself. “

Vivian heard his words and sighed. “Sigh, Julian. Are you still holding a grudge against me for not treating you well when I was pregnant?”

Julian did not say anything and just looked ahead in silence.

“At that time, I was pregnant with Stephen. My appetite was not good either. Every night when I slept, it was difficult for me to even turn my body around. It’s inevitable for me to be in a bad mood, so don’t lower yourself to my level. It was my fault in the past. Don’t think about these things anymore. I’m just thinking about how I didn’t take good care of you in the past, so I want to make it up to you now. Whether or not you divorce me in the future, I don’t care anymore. I just want to do my best when I’m by your side.”

“I called Ruby today. I found out that my uncle’s leg fracture was very severe. As the saying goes, a leg fracture is a hundred days of serious injury. She definitely wouldn’t be able to come back in a short period of time, so whether at home or at the company, it would be inconvenient for others to take care of you. At the end of the day, I am still your wife. Don’t reject me anymore, okay?”

“Forget it. Help me back to my room first.” Julian heard her words and sighed. His tone was not as tough as before.

“Okay.” Vivian nodded and helped Julian back to Ruby’s bedroom. She watched him sit down by the bed. Vivian said slowly, “Julian, it’s inconvenient for you to be here alone. Why don’t you go back to our bedroom and rest? If you go to the bathroom tonight, I can take care of you.”

“No need. I am familiar with this place. You can go back first.”

“Alright, then I’ll be leaving first. Call me if there’s anything.” Vivian did not insist after saying that. She closed the door of the room and went to Daphne’s bedroom.

When she knocked on the door and walked in, she saw Daphne tidying up her clothes. When she saw Vivian walk in, Daphne put away her husband’s clothes and sat down beside the bed to look at Vivian.

“Is there something wrong with Vivian?” During this period of time, Vivian went to the hospital every day and Daphne’s impression of her was getting better and better.

“Mom, I just sent Julian back to Ruby’s room to rest. After Ruby left, it was very likely that she would only come back after a month. I’m worried that no one would be nice to him while Julian goes to work at the company. What if something happens? If he accidentally made a mistake in the contract that he handled every day, the company might lose millions or tens of millions. What if something goes wrong? I’m really worried now.”

Daphne heard Vivian’s words and nodded her head in agreement.

To be honest, when Ruby was by her son’s side in the past, although Daphne was worried, seeing how that girl took care of her son so well, she also felt relieved. Now that Ruby had left, her heart was also worried.

indeed a problem.”

“I did ask Julian just now. He said that Ruby had already given all her work to his secretary, Jenny, when she left. But I learned from Lucas that Jenny is a girl with a lot of heart. I am just worried now. Look at Dad’s health right now and Julian’s eyes are like this again. As time passes, there will definitely be some rumors in the company. If something goes wrong at a time like this, won’t our company be in danger?”

Daphne helplessly sighed heavily. “Yes! But what can we do now? Julian’s eyes are not good. Your father has not woken up yet. . .”

Daphne’s heart was also in a mess. During this period of time, she was physically and mentally exhausted because of her son and husband, but she could not think of a better way.

“Mom, can you do this? I worked in the company before and I still knew some basic information about the company, so before Ruby came back, I will follow Julian to work at the company first. This way, I can take care of him. If something urgent happens, it will be easy to deal with it.”

“In the end, I’m still the daughter-in-law of the Cooper Family. If anything happens to our company, it won’t do will let the Cooper Family down. But if it was someone else, it would be hard to say. What do you think?”

the right time.

Daphne lowered her head and thought for a moment. After thinking for a while, she looked up at Vivian and nodded. “Okay! I will be more at ease if you follow Julian.”

Although Vivian’s previous actions were not as satisfactory as what she had expected, there was one thing she was right about. No matter what, she was the daughter-in-law of Cooper Family. If anything happened in the company, it would not be good for her. Therefore, Daphne agreed with this point.

“Then you go and tell Julian. His attitude towards me is much better now, but I am afraid he will think too much.”

Daphne nodded. “Okay! Then I will go and tell him. . .” After she finished speaking, she went upstairs to her son’s room.

Vivian also followed Daphne upstairs, but she did not follow in. Instead, she went back to her own room first.

Daphne knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing the darkness in the room, her heart felt stifled and uncomfortable. She reached out to turn on the light at the door and saw that her son was preparing to sleep on the bed.

walked towards her son.

“Mom, why are you here?” Julian was surprised to hear his mother’s voice.

“I came up to see you. Ruby didn’t come back today, I was a little worried about you.”

Julian pretended to be relaxed and smiled. “Mom, I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Daphne sat down beside her son and sighed softly. “You can’t see with your eyes. You still have to go to the company to work. In the past, Ruby was with you, so Mom was slightly relieved. Now that you are alone, how can Mom not worry?”

“Mom. . .” Julian listened to his mother’s words and did not know what to say.

“Although I went to the hospital every day to take care of your Dad, he did not react at all. I am really worried that he will continue to lie down like this.”

Julian immediately grabbed his mother’s hand. “Mom, don’t think that way. My dad will definitely wake up!”

“Sigh, although we all think that way, the current situation is worrying me. Julian, how long will Ruby be back?”

Julian slightly lowered his head. “For the time being, I am not very sure. I estimate that she will need at least ten days or half a month to go back. . .”

“Then who will arrange the work for you now?” Daphne did not dare to directly discuss the matter of Vivian with her son. She was afraid that he would reject it directly.

“Ruby has arranged the work with my secretary Jenny.”

“Oh, although she is also your secretary, she is definitely not as earnest as the people in our own family. That is what I think. Do you think it is okay?”

“Mom, what do you think. . .”

“During this period of time, I have been taking care of your dad in the hospital. Vivian will go and help me every day. Even at home, she also rushed to take care of the child. I saw that after the divorce you proposed to her last time, she did have some changes. Now that Ruby is not by your side, Vivian is still the Cooper Family’s daughter-in-law no matter what. The company’s interests are closely linked to her. So I thought, from tomorrow onwards. . . Let her follow you to work at the company. With her by your side to take care of you, I also feel more at ease. What do you think?”

“Mom, forget it. I can handle it myself.” Julian directly rejected his mother’s suggestion.

“Don’t beat her to death with a single blow. Let her try it out with you for two days. If she can do it, then let her take care of you on Ruby’s behalf. If not, then tell me. Mom won’t let her go.”

“After all, think about it, if there were people from the Cooper Family by your side, the people in the company would be more stable. When you couldn’t see their faces, if they winked and made some small movements, you can’t see anything. Even if Jenny saw it, if she was bribed, something big will definitely happen in Cooper Group, right?”

When Daphne said this, she herself was afraid. Julian’s eyes could not be seen. As long as others were a little petty, the Cooper Group might face a huge risk.

Julian listened to his mother’s words and was silent for a moment. After a moment, he nodded his head. “Mom, you are right. Then let her try first. Let her follow me to the company starting tomorrow!”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
