Chapter 174

The phone suddenly rang again.

Sarah picked it up with tears in her eyes. When she saw the colorful letter of Christian in the notification
bar, she held onto her last glimmer of hope and opened it to take a look.

However, it was actually a photo taken by Greta in the bathroom!

Seeing the smile of the woman on the phone, Sarah could not take it anymore and raised her hand to
fiercely smash the phone onto the ground.

Slap!

The phone hit the floor and made a crisp sound. It instantly broke into pieces.

Sarah laid on the bed and cried loudly.

Samantha, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran over nervously when she heard her daughter crying.
Seeing her daughter crying loudly, she immediately walked to her daughter’s side and sat down.

“Sarah! What happened to you? You were still fine just now. Why did you suddenly cry like this?”

“Mom!” Sarah got up from the bed and threw herself into her mother’s arms. She hugged her mother
and cried loudly again.

In these two days, she had suffered too much. That photo just now had made her completely collapse.
The last glimmer of hope in her heart had also been completely torn apart.

Hearing that her daughter was crying so sadly, Samantha hurriedly asked, “Sarah, what exactly
happened? Quickly tell Mom!”



Sarah kept shaking her head and did not want to say anything. She did not want to explain anything
and just wanted to hug her mother and cry to her heart’s content.

“Are you trying to rush me to death? Quickly tell me what happened to you?” Her appearance
frightened Samantha. She knew that if it was not a big deal, her daughter would not cry like this.

Samantha pushed her daughter away from her embrace and held her daughter’s shoulders tightly as
she stared at Sarah and asked, “Quickly tell me. What happened? Is there something wrong with the
child in her womb?”

This was the first thing that Samantha thought of.

Sarah shook her head with tears streaming down her face and could not say anything.

“Aiya, you want to rush me to death, don’t you? What exactly is going on?” Samantha anxiously asked
again.

“Mom. . .” Her throat was choking with pain. She did not know how to open her mouth.

“Quickly say it!”

After crying for a long time, Sarah finally managed to hold back her tears with difficulty. She raised her
head and looked at the sadness in her mother’s eyes. “Mom, don’t ask anything. Can you let me be
alone for a while?”

She didn’t want to think about anything right now. She didn’t want to explain anything. Even if her
mother knew, it was just that there would be one more person who was sad.

“Why do you want to be alone? Even if you want to be alone, you have to explain things clearly to me
before being alone!” Her daughter had never been so devastated. How could Samantha leave without
listening to her say the reason?



“Mom. . . I am finished with Christian. . .” The moment she said that, her vision turned dark. Sarah
rolled her eyes and fell into Samantha’s arms.

“Sarah! Sarah! What happened to you? Sarah!” Seeing her after crying this much, Samantha’s heart
was already on her throat.

Samantha quickly put Sarah on the bed, rushed to the bedside table to bring some water. She then put
the water on Sarah’s lips and let her drink some water.

Sarah was exhausted these two days by the constant mental torment to her current pregnancy, after
crying for a long time, she felt dizzy.

Sarah opened her eyes and looked at her mother who had been frightened. She opened her mouth to
say something. But instead of words, what came out of her mouth was loud sobs. She hugged her
mother and cried out loud once again.

In the past, she had never known that her feelings for Christian would be so deep. When she thought of
the future, she could not control her emotions at all.

Samantha was already scared and now when she saw Sarah again started crying after regaining her
senses, she couldn’t control her anxiety.

“Sarah! What exactly happened? Why did you say that you are finished with Christian? He just called to
ask you about your situation. Aren’t you all fine? Why did you become like this in the blink of an eye?”

After speaking, Samantha immediately reached out and pulled Sarah up from the bed. She forcefully
brought her daughter into the living room. “There must be some misunderstanding between you two.
Call him immediately and ask him about the situation!”



Samantha pressed her daughter onto the sofa beside the landline and then picked up the phone and
stuffed it into her daughter’s hands. “Call him immediately. I don’t believe it! Will he agree to end this
with you?”

“Mom. . .” Sarah held the receiver and shook her head powerlessly. If she called might still be that
woman. There was no difference whether she called or not.

Samantha looked at her daughter’s expression and gloomily took the phone over. She found Christian’s
number on the phone book and called him.

The phone rang very quickly. However, the phone came was: Hello! The number you have dialed has
been turned off!

Samantha heard the voice on the other end of the phone and frowned. She hung up the phone. She
felt that she pressed the wrong number and dialed the number again. But this time, the same voice was
still heard. She dialed it a few times. In the end, she put down the phone in disappointment.

She looked at her daughter beside her and sighed. “Why is Christian’s phone switched off again? Is his
phone out of battery?”

Sarah heard her mother’s words and sneered while sobbing. “Mom, don’t call him again. I already
knew it was like this. . .”

After saying that, Sarah stood up and was about to leave when her mother grabbed her hand.

“What happened between you two? Weren’t the two of them always fine? How come something
happened just in two days?” Samantha could not understand this sudden situation.

“Mom, he married me to take revenge on Julian. Now that he has achieved his goal, I have no use for
him anymore. Let’s do it this way. . . “



“Impossible! Christian was not that kind of person! Do you all have some misunderstanding?”
Samantha did not believe that her son-in-law was the kind of person who would use her daughter. She
believed that there must be some misunderstanding between the two of them.

“There might have been in the past, but now there is no more. . . Mom. . . You can have dinner by
yourself. I really can’t eat it. . .” Sarah stood up after saying that and went back to her bedroom alone.

Samantha originally wanted to say something but when she thought about how Christian’s phone could
not be called, she could not help but wonder what was going on.

…

Christian quickly stir-fried a few hot dishes and all of them were placed on the table. He called his old
subordinates to sit down.

When he called everyone down, he saw Greta was missing. Someone said that she went to the
bathroom and didn’t come back for a while. So Christian went to call her for dinner.

His transfer order had indeed been issued two days ago. He had been rushing to the military for a
meeting these two days. That was why he hadn’t had the time to tell Sarah.

Today, seeing his old subordinates come to see him off, he was naturally very happy in his heart. When
the dishes were all placed on the table, he even excitedly took out the stored good wine and poured a
cup for everyone.

Because he was in a good mood, Christian drank to his heart’s content with his subordinates tonight.
His alcohol tolerance was not small. Plus, he was in a good mood, so he drank a few more glasses
tonight.



When dinner ended, his face was slightly red, and his steps were slightly messy. However, his
consciousness was still clear.

When these subordinates left, Greta insisted on staying behind to help him clean up before leaving. But
she was directly rejected by Christian.

He was already married now and had his own wife. He did not want to have anything to do with this
woman anymore. If it was not for the special circumstances last time, he definitely would not let her
stay overnight.

After sending everyone away, Christian didn’t have time to clean up the restaurant. He limped back to
the bedroom. After lying on the bed for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had been busy
greeting his subordinates and actually forgot to call his wife.

Thinking of this, he propped himself up from the bed and walked to the living room. After looking
around for a while, he finally saw his phone on a small cabinet in the living room. He immediately took it
and went into the bedroom.

Christian leaned his body against the headboard, picked up his phone and opened it to take a look. He
found that none of the calls were from his wife. He looked at the time and felt that it was impossible for
Sarah to sleep so early. He found her number and called her.

However, after dialing for a long time, the voice he heard from the other end of the phone was: Hello!
The number you have dialed has been turned off!

Christian was stunned for a moment. But when he thought how his wife was now pregnant and must
have slept a little earlier than before, so he did not mind.



He put his phone on the bed and went to take a shower first. When he came out of the bathroom, he
took his phone and wanted to send a message to Sarah. But after thinking about it, he gave up.

In the next few days, he would be transferred to another city. The army gave him a few days off to go
back and take a look at his home. So tomorrow morning, he could go home.

When he thought about the surprise on her face, when he would suddenly appeared in front of her
tomorrow, Christian couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t know how his son was doing during this period of
time.

When he thought about how he would soon become a father, Christian was so excited that he almost
couldn’t fall asleep. He thought that he would be back to home tomorrow morning and went to the
kitchen to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks. Then, he went back to the bedroom.

The next morning, Christian got up and quickly made breakfast. He prepared to drive home right after
he finished eating. Halfway through his meal, Jayson came over.

Jayson was also here last night. And today, he would follow Christian back to City S. Christian
immediately invited Jayson to have breakfast with him. The two of them sat down.

Jayson had just taken a sip of porridge when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at
Christian and reported.

“Oh right, commander, I just ran into the soldier who was standing guard yesterday. He said sister-in-
law came to the army to look for you yesterday.”

Christian was stunned for a moment, then he smashed the chopsticks down with a bang. He frowned
and shouted, “What did you say? Sarah came? Then why didn’t I see her?”



“I heard sister-in-law came here the day before yesterday. She stayed here the whole night and waited
for you. But when she couldn’t find you, she went back yesterday.” Jayson answered truthfully.

“Nonsense! Then why didn’t anyone tell me?”

“The soldier on duty said that he was busy last night and forgot about this.”

Christian heard Jayson’s words and stood up from his chair. He quickly walked to the living room,
picked up his phone, and called his wife’s number. But this time, it was the same as last night, and her
phone was still switched off!

He looked at Sarah’s number and thought for a while. He quickly found his mother-in-law’s number and
dialed it again.

The call was quickly picked up and Samantha answered.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Mom, it’s me! Where’s Sarah?” Christian asked anxiously.

“Christian? You finally know how to make a phone call?” Samantha asked angrily when she heard
Christian’s voice.

“Mom, did something happen to Sarah?” From the why Samantha spoke, Christian felt that something
was wrong.

“Shouldn’t I ask you this? Christian, Sarah is pregnant now. Her eyes were swollen like a ball from
crying these two days and she did not eat much. She even fainted from crying last night! Why did you
turn off your phone when I called you? What do you want? Did the people of the Wilson Family owe
your Cooper Family too much in the previous life? Are we destined to pay your debts in this life?”



The words that her daughter said last night had also dealt a blow to Samantha. Furthermore, she
couldn’t get through to Christian’s phone last night. Now that she finally heard Christian’s voice, the
anger in her heart instantly rose, and she couldn’t help but flare up at him.
