Chapter 173

Sarah stopped a taxi by the side of the road and reported the location of City S. The taxi quickly started
and left the city.

When Sarah returned home, it was already past one o’clock in the afternoon. She directly went back to
her mother’s home. In her current state, she really did not have the courage to stay in Villa of Cooper
Family.

Fortunately, today was the weekend, so she did not need to explain anything to her mother.

When the door opened, Samantha looked at her daughter’s expression and felt that something was
wrong.

“Sarah, what happened to you these two days?” Because when Sarah left yesterday morning, she said
that she would return to the Cooper Family at night, so Samantha did not think too much about it. Only
when she saw her daughter now, she realized that her daughter looked a little tired.

“Mom, I want to go and sleep. The feeling of being pregnant is very uncomfortable.” Luckily she was
pregnant now and could use this as a cover. Otherwise, Sarah really did not know what to say to her
mother.

Her heart was stifled and uncomfortable, but she didn’t want her mother to worry about her. So she
could only hide in the bedroom by herself.

“Have you had lunch?” Samantha was experienced and naturally understood the pain of pregnancy.
For some women, it might not be a big deal, but for some sensitive women, pregnancy was very
painful.

“I ate. . .” After taking a taxi all the way, she did not eat anything. She knew that she could not do this
when she was pregnant, but now she really could not eat anything.



If she and Christian really ended like this, what would happen to their child?

“Okay, then quickly go and rest. Have a good sleep.” Seeing her daughter’s exhausted expression,
Samantha immediately followed her daughter into the room with heartache. She let her lie down on the
bed and helped her daughter cover the quilt. Seeing her daughter close her eyes, she then walked out
of the bedroom and casually closed the door of the room.

The moment the door closed, a tear slid down Sarah’s eyes. . .

She really wanted to cry out loud but she did not dare to let her mother hear it. So she could only shrink
her body into the blanket and keep sobbing. After crying for an unknown amount of time, she finally fell
asleep amidst her non-stop sobbing.

These two days to her, whether it was her body or her heart, they both caused her to suffer pain and
torment. She had been looking forward to seeing him, to ask him, to believe him. However, when she
heard that Christian was going to be transferred away, she was in complete despair.

But what Sarah didn’t know was, at the same time she sat in the taxi, an army green off-road vehicle
quickly turned on the road up the mountain and sped away.

The person sitting in the car was Christian!

Three days ago, he received orders from the military to attend an emergency meeting, so he left the
army. Because the meeting involved military secrets, in these three days, the phones of all the people
who participated in the meeting were temporarily turned over and were only returned to the individuals
after the meeting ended.

After today’s meeting ended, he took the phone to see if there were any calls from his family inside. But
after taking a look, he found out that his phone was out of battery and had already turned off
automatically.



The off-road vehicle quickly entered the army. Christian went straight to his office because he had
some tasks to assign. Fortunately, there was a phone charger in the office. He charged his phone and
then went to assign tasks to his subordinates.

In the end, when he was off work, it was night time. When he took his phone home, he realized that
Sarah had called him a lot. He immediately picked it up and dialed back, but when he called, he found
that her phone was turned off.

Christian put away the phone and wanted to put it in his pocket. However, he found that the
notifications and messages in the phone were still ringing nonstop. One by one, until he went home,
they were still ringing.

He opened the messages he received one by one and found that all the phones were from Sarah
alone.

Worried that something had happened to his wife, Christian immediately called the villa. After the call
went through, the one who answered the call was Daphne. After asking a few questions, he found out
that his little wife had been staying at her mother’s house for the past two days. Christian heaved a
sigh of relief in his heart and after ending the call, he quickly called his mother-in-law’s house.

“Mom, where’s Sarah?” Once the phone was connected, Christian impatiently asked.

“Oh, she’s still sleeping. It might be because she is pregnant but she looks a little tired these two days.
Should I wake her up now?” Samantha held the earpiece of the landline and looked at the bedroom
door.

“No need. Let her sleep for a while more. Mom, when Sarah wakes up, let her call me.” When Christian
heard that his wife was tired from being pregnant, his hanging heart completely dropped to the ground.
As long as his wife was fine, everything would be fine.



“Alright! She will probably wake up soon.”

Christian originally wanted to chat with his mother-in-law a little more, but before he could finish, he
heard a knock on the door of the living room. He had no choice but to say goodbye to his mother-in-
law. He walked over and opened the door of the living room.

When Christian opened the door, he saw Greta standing at the door. Behind her were a few veterans
soldier who were his subordinates. They were all holding food in their hands.

“Why are you guys here?” Christian looked at the situation in front of him and asked puzzledly.

Greta looked at him and smiled. “You will be leaving this place in a week. We know that there will be a
lot of people sending you off, so the few of us came early. Military Commander Cooper won’t mind,
right?”

As soon as Greta finished speaking, a male soldier, who was behind her, said with a smile. “Actually,
commander is waiting for us. Hurry up and go in!”

Christian looked at them and smiled. He immediately let everyone enter the living room. He called
everyone to sit down.

Because all of them were Christian’s old subordinates, they often came here to freeload. Therefore, no
one was polite. They placed all the things they brought on the table.

Christian saw that it was all some cold dishes but no matter what, they had to eat something warm in
this season. Because he was about to leave, this time, he should make some food for everyone no
matter what. Thus, he got up and went into the kitchen.

These people did not stop him. Being able to eat commander’s food for the last time was also a
precious memory for them.



Not long after Christian called, Sarah woke up. Seeing that the sky outside had darkened, she got up
and got out of bed. She walked out of the bedroom. No matter how depressed she was, she couldn’t let
her mother worry about her.

When she walked out of the room, her mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen. Sarah walked over
and greeted her mother, preparing to go to the living room to watch television. But before she left, she
was stopped by Samantha.

“Sarah, when you were sleeping just now, Christian called back. He said that your phone was turned
off, so he called home. He heard that you were sleeping, so he didn’t let me disturb you. Call him
back.”

“Got it!” When Sarah heard that there was finally news of Christian, her spirits were lifted. She did not
bother to say anything more to her mother, turned around, and walked towards the sofa.

Her phone had run out of battery in the army. When she returned, she went straight to bed, so she did
not charge it. Sarah originally wanted to call Christian through the phone in the living room. But after
thinking about it, there were some things that she could not let her mother hear, so she went back to
her room.

First, she took out a charger to charge her phone. Then, she pressed the start button. Thinking that she
would immediately hear his voice, she excitedly found his number and quickly dialed it.

No matter what she had experienced in the past two days, no matter what Greta said, she still wanted
to hear Christian tell her everything. As long as it was what he had said to her, even if it was a lie, she
would believe it.

When Sarah called, Christian was cooking in the kitchen. He was very busy, so he absent-mindedly put
his phone on the coffee table in the living room. When his phone rang, everyone was chatting excitedly.



Greta saw Christian’s phone ring. She silently picked it up and saw that the number on it was Sarah.
Her eyes flashed and she looked at the few people on the sofa who did not notice her. She stood up
and walked towards the bathroom. As she walked, she pressed the answer button.

“Christian!” When she heard that the phone was finally connected, Sarah could not wait to call out. She
wanted to say a lot of things at once, but once she called out his name, her tears fell.

“He’s cooking in the kitchen. Is there anything you need from him?” When Greta walked to the middle
of the living room, she flashed into the bathroom with her phone and quickly closed the door of the
bathroom.

“You. . . Why do you have his phone?” Sarah never would have thought that after she had waited for so
long, the sound came from the other end of the phone would actually broke her heart.

At this time, Greta actually held Christian’s phone!

“Hehe, look at you asking this question. He’s in the kitchen, I’m in the living room. What’s so strange
about holding his phone?”

“You. . . Why are you at his home?” Sarah’s heart broke bit by bit. And now her heart completely turned
cold.

“He said that he wanted to personally make dinner for me, so I came. It will probably be too late after
dinner. I won’t be going back tonight. Is there anything you need from him? I can help you pass on the
message when we sleep later!”

Greta’s tone was completely like a mistress. Actually, when she came to Christian’s house tonight, she
also felt uneasy and came with the others. But when she stood at the door and saw the way Christian



looking at her, she understood that Sarah did not tell Christian about what happened in the past two
days.

Now that she had such a good opportunity, she could not let it go no matter what. There were some
opportunities that once grasped, it wouldn’t come back again. Perhaps to her, it was the happiness of a
lifetime!

“There’s no need…!”

Before Sarah could finish her words, a voice that came from the other hand of the phone broke her
heart completely.

“Greta, dinner is ready. Come out.”

This voice!

This was Christian’s voice!

This was the voice which she desperately wanted to hear these two days!

When Greta heard Christian’s voice, her hand also trembled. But she adjusted her mood and said with
a smile, “He is calling me. If you have something, quickly say it!”

Sarah felt a sharp pain in her heart and did not want to hear this woman’s voice again. She quickly
retracted her line.

The moment the phone was put down, tears of despair gushed out like a river breaking through a dam!

Greta was still at his place at this time of the day. This kind of thing, was there a need to explain
anymore?



If everything was a misunderstanding. . . How could this kind of situation be explained? How could he
call her so intimately?

There was no need to explain anything. Greta had already explained everything very well!

Christian was the same as his younger brother!

Perhaps the reason why he chose to marry her was because he wanted to use her to take revenge on
Julian. Now that she had lost the value of being used, that was why he was so heartless to her!
