Chapter 171

David listened to her and hesitated as he looked at her lonely back.

“Do you hate my second sister?” A familiar voice came from beside him.

David turned around and saw Syrus walking to his side and asking him while looking at Jasmine’s
back.

“No!” In this month, he only thought that she was a good boss, but he never thought about
relationships.

“Since you don’t hate her, why don’t you give yourself a chance?”

“Her personality is too strong. I don’t think it’s possible between us. . . “

“You haven’t even tried, how do you know that you’re not suitable for each other? Do you know why my
second sister is so domineering?” Syrus looked at the back of his second sister and asked David.

“I don’t know.”

“Many people think that my second sister’s domineering personality must have something to do with
her family education. They think that my parents must have spoiled her. But in fact, they don’t know, my
second sister didn’t grow up in this family at all when she was young.”

David looked at him in surprise.

“She was brought to Canada by my aunt when she was very young. She has been living with my aunt.
When she was twelve, because of a misunderstanding between my aunt and uncle, my aunt committed
suicide by jumping into the sea. Without aunt’s care, my second Sister has always been very
independent.”



“If you really think that, whatever she does seem to be done on impulse, then you are wrong. On the
surface, she is a very straightforward girl. But she’s actually very cautious. Because the death of our
aunt had a huge impact on her, she had always felt that there were many decisions that once you
made it, you didn’t have the chance to turn back.”

“Don’t easily deny her. Give her a chance and give yourself a chance. Because it’s impossible for you
to be single for the rest of your life. Let’s go!” Syrus smiled and patted David’s shoulder.

He wanted to walk to the lawn with him, but David stood there without moving. Syrus looked at him and
smiled. “Assistant Brown, are you really that petty? Today is my sister’s birthday. Since you promised to
be her boyfriend, why don’t you accompany her for her birthday? If you just turn around and leave now,
even I will look down on you.”

David heard his words and blinked his eyes. After a moment, he lifted his leg and walked towards the
lawn.

This night, because of Jasmine’s birthday, the Wilson Family was particularly lively. David didn’t leave.
Instead, he stayed behind to accompany Jasmine. Even during the ball, he accompanied her to dance.

When the two of them slid onto the dance floor, Jasmine looked at him without any hesitation. “Didn’t
you say you were leaving? Why did you stay?”

“I didn’t say I was leaving. I just said you shouldn’t misunderstand.”

“If you left, I definitely wouldn’t misunderstand, but if you stayed, I would definitely misunderstand. Can
you tell me why you’re staying?” She was very happy that he could stay and celebrate her birthday with
her.

“Because before I came, I promised you that I would be your male companion, and today is your
birthday, so I can’t leave.”



“Since you know it’s my birthday, you haven’t said Happy Birthday to me yet!”

“Happy Birthday.”

“Thank you!” Jasmine looked at him and smiled. Although his answer just now was somewhat
disappointing, in the end, he still stayed behind. To her, this was already the best birthday present.

Ever since she saw Greta at noon, Sarah’s heart had never calmed down again. When she thought of
the photo she took in their bedroom, her heart ached.

She didn’t want to believe the authenticity of the photo. But when she looked at the familiar room, she
couldn’t convince herself.

For the entire afternoon, her mood was terrible to the extreme. She really didn’t want to go back to Villa
of Cooper Family after work. So Sarah called Cooper Family and drove back to her mother’s house.

Usually, her daughter would only return home on weekends. When she came back at this time,
Samantha was somewhat surprised. When Sarah entered the house, Samantha could tell that there
was something wrong with her daughter’s expression.

“What’s wrong with your eyes? Quickly tell mom, did Julian bully you again?” Samantha worriedly
looked at her daughter and asked.

When she heard her mother’s words, Sarah’s tears instantly gushed out and could not be stopped no
matter what.

“What exactly is going on? Quickly tell me. Why are you crying when you are fine? You’re carrying a
child in your womb. Your crying isn’t good for his health either, understand?” Samantha brought Sarah
to the sofa and sat down. She looked at her daughter and anxiously asked.



Sarah sat on the sofa and sobbed for a long time. Then she looked at her mother and replied, “Mom, I
am fine. I just miss my dad a little. . .”

“Don’t talk about useless things with me. Even if you miss your dad, you can’t cry like this! Hurry up
and tell me what happened.” Samantha did not believe what her daughter said at all.

“Mom, I don’t want to say it now. Can you let me sleep?” She just wanted to stay quietly for a while and
clear up all her chaotic thoughts.

“Okay, then you go and rest for a while. I will go and make dinner first. No matter what happens, you
can’t let the child in your womb suffer, understand?”

Sarah nodded obediently, “Mom, I know!”

“Okay! Then go to your room and rest for a while.”

Sarah stood up powerlessly and went back to her room. She gently closed the door. When she walked
to the bedside table and sat down, she saw a picture of Christian on the bedside table.

Sarah lifted her legs and sat on the bed. She took the picture, hugged her knees, and stared at it
silently for a while. But when she thought of the picture of Greta, her tears couldn’t help but fall.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Christian was not the kind of person who did that kind
of thing. But if it wasn’t, then how that ambiguous photo could be explained?

With Christian’s character, if it was not for his intimate relationship with Greta, he would not have left
her at home for the night, and even let her sleep in his bed. . .

Her heart was in a mess!

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t make it clear!



She took the phone and dialed Christian’s number again and again. However, no matter how hard she
tried what came from the other end was still the emotionless voice: Hello! The number you have dialed
has been turned off!

After dinner, Samantha originally wanted to ask what exactly happened to Sarah. But no matter what
she asked, Sarah did not want to say anything. Samantha saw that her daughter’s mood was low, so
she let her go back to the bedroom to rest. She watched her daughter close the bedroom door.

Samantha thought for a while, then picked up her phone and called Christian. However, the get
through. She put down her phone in disappointment.

She originally wanted to call Villa of Cooper Family. But thinking about Daphne, that woman, in the end,
she gave up.

This night was a kind of painful torture for Sarah.

Lying on the bed, she kept tossing and turning. Greta’s words rang in her ears again and again. She
even began to imagine the situation when the two of them were together.

But after thinking about it again, Sarah felt that something was wrong.

In the few months that she had been with Christian, if he really had feelings for Greta, why did he want
to break the agreement? If he really had that kind of relationship with Greta, it was impossible for him to
tell her about the matter of breaking the agreement.

But no matter what Greta said to her, or where the photo was taken, at least there was one thing that
she did not see Christian in the photo from the beginning to the end. There was even a possibly that
Greta lied to her.

If all of this was fabricated by Greta, wouldn’t she be fooled easily?



But even if she consoled herself like this, Sarah’s heart still felt some unspeakable discomfort.
Christian’s phone had never been turned off before. Then why did it have to be turned off at this time?

Did he forget to charge his phone, or did he really have other secrets?

For the whole night, Sarah almost did not sleep at all.

Seeing that the sky outside had already started to brighten, Sarah quickly got up from the bed. First,
she went to the bathroom to wash up and take her bag out. She took out the wallet from inside and
looked at it.

Luckily, there was more than a thousand yuan inside. She put the wallet back in and put on all her
clothes. She took out a coat and put it on. Sarah took out her phone and sent a message to Syrus.
Then she took her bag and walked out of the bedroom.

When she walked into the living room, she saw that Samantha had already woken up.

Samantha was about to make breakfast when she saw her daughter walk out of the room fully armed.
She immediately walked over in puzzlement.

“Sarah, why are you leaving so early today?” There were still more than two hours before the work
time. Samantha was somewhat puzzled.

“Mom, I just received a call from the company. The CEO said that he has urgent matters to discuss with
me. I will go to work first.” Sarah did not want her mother to worry, so she lied.

“What time is it? No matter how important it is, you have to eat first before leaving. You are still
pregnant.” Samantha looked worriedly at her daughter and advised.



“Mom, it is really too late. The CEO is waiting in the company to ask for the information. If it is delayed,
it will be a loss of a few million yuan. Don’t worry. I will buy some from the roadside later. I won’t starve
myself.”

Sarah walked to the door as she spoke. She opened the door of the living room and was about to leave
when she suddenly stopped and looked back at her mother. “Mom, I’m not feeling well today. I’ll leave
the car here for now. I’ll drive it back another day.”

Samantha heard her daughter’s words and understood that the company’s matters were very
important. She nodded. “Then you should go quickly. Be careful on the road!”

“Yes, Mom, then I’ll leave!” Sarah opened the living room’s door and quickly went downstairs. She then
went out of the neighborhood and stopped a taxi by the side of the road to take a ride in.

The car started quickly. The driver in front looked at Sarah, who was sitting in the backseat, and asked,
“Miss, where are you going?”

“Master, are you going for a long distance?”

“To Where?”

“City F!”

“I can do it.” When the driver heard that it was a long distance, he immediately agreed. He started the
car and drove quickly towards the highway.

It took about four hours to travel from City S to City F. Although she didn’t sleep well last night, Sarah
did not feel sleepy at all.

Along the way, Sarah kept calling Christian’s number with her phone. But again and again, the voice
came from the other end was still a message that he had turned off his phone.



Sarah did not give up and dialed again and again. But when the call didn’t get through at all, she
realized that her phone had actually run out of battery.

Seeing that her phone was automatically turned off, Sarah could only give up on the idea of calling
Christian. She quietly sat in the car and watched the scenery outside the window fly by. Her thoughts
drifted away time and time again. . .
