Chapter 281

Because of this mess, it was very soon 5 PM in the afternoon.

Christian looked at the time and drove the two back to Villa of Cooper Family. Seeing the two of them
get off the car and Ruby held his brother’s hand as they walked into the villa, Christian smiled in relief.
He then started the car again to go to Municipal Hospital.

Julian let Ruby bring him upstairs into Ruby’s room that she originally slept in. Once the two of them
walked in, Julian held her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

“Ruby! I thought I was going to lose you this time. I thought I would never see you again!” Julian kept
kissing her cheeks and her hair, telling her about the pain of missing her for the past few days.

He couldn’t say what he missed her. He missed her. That endless longing was going to torture him until
he went crazy.

Ruby leaned in his arms and felt his fiery passion for her. She raised her head and looked at his face.
She reached out and gently caressed it.

In these two or three days, she also could not say that she didn’t miss him. She really missed him. In
the past, when they were together, she was not clear about her feelings for him. This time, she truly
understood that he was not by her side. What does life mean. . .

“Ruby, I’m sorry! It’s all because I’m too useless. If I could see with my eyes, I wouldn’t let them bully
you like this! Ruby, I’m sorry. . . “

“Julian, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry. Didn’t I come back now?”

“I was scared to death. When you weren’t by my side, I had realized that my life was a complete mess.
Ruby, promise me that you won’t leave me again, okay?” Julian hugged her tightly, afraid that once he
let go, she would fly away like a kite in his hands.



“Okay. . . I promise you. . . I will never leave you again. . .” Ruby nodded in surprise.

Julian looked happy, but he still did not believe it. “Ruby, is what you said true? You really will not leave
me again?” Julian asked back excitedly.

Ruby looked at Julian and slightly pursed her lower lip, then said slowly, “En. . . But you have to
promise me one condition. . . “

“Speak. As long as you promise to stay by my side, I will promise you anything.” Julian couldn’t wait to
speak.

“You cannot divorce Sister Vivian!”

Julian frowned. “What is this condition? No! I can’t agree to it! Ruby, I don’t just want you to only stay
by my side, but I also want to give you a home! I want to live with you openly and aboveboard, and not
live like you are now, which makes you unable to see the light. Do you understand?”

“This is the promise I made with my father when I left home today. In the future, he won’t marry me out
again. The prerequisite is that you can’t divorce Sister Vivian!” Ruby replied with a heartache.

“No! I can’t agree to this condition! I want to give you happiness, I don’t want to be with you like this!
Ruby!” Julian held Ruby’s hand tightly. He really could not accept such conditions. The life he wanted
was not like this.

Ruby heard his words and smiled in relief. “Julian, as long as I return to your side, I don’t care about my
status. Just let me stay by your side, okay?”

“Ruby! Why did you have to make such a condition for me? Why?”

“Because my father said that if you and Sister Vivian divorce because of me, then he will die in front of
the Cooper Group! My father is a man who can do what he says. I can’t joke with his life. Promise me,



okay?”

“How could this be? How could this be?” Julian held her tightly in his arms, feeling unspeakable pain
and self-blame.

He originally thought very well that as long as he divorced Vivian, he could give Ruby a home, marry
her, and live with her freely and openly.

But now. . .

He could not give her anything!

Knowing that he was not feeling well, she gently wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her
face against his chest: “Actually, you don’t have to be sad. Didn’t you say. . . That you want me to give
birth to a child for you?”

“So what if I have a child? I can’t even give him a title. . .” Julian shook his head in self-blame.

“As long as you don’t divorce Sister Vivian, I can do anything for you. . .”

“You idiot. . . Why are you so stupid?”

Because Ruby finally returned to Julian’s side, everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

It had been a week since Stephen and Simona were born.

After a week of recuperation, Sarah had long been able to get down from the ground. On the seventh
day of Stephen’s birth, Sarah was brought back to the villa by Christian.

Because she had to take care of the two children, Daphne asked someone to clean up Sarah and
Christian’s original room and let Sarah live in the bedroom on the first floor again. Daphne also added a
large baby bed in the bedroom. She let the two children rest together.



Of course, on the day Sarah went home, Vivian was also picked up by the driver at Cooper Family, but
asked the driver to send her back to her mother’s home.

After experiencing Ruby’s matter, Vivian did not care if the children were all fed by Sarah. Anyway, she
had the promise of Ruby’s father, so she also did not need to worry about Julian divorce with her.

Since she could not see, she did not mind. She might as well go back to her mother’s house to rest.
After she had recovered, she would return to the Cooper Family.

Because Sarah had two children to take care of, plus Daphne had to take care of her husband, so
Daphne really did not have time to go home to take care of Sarah, so Samantha followed her daughter
back to Villa of Cooper Family.

Because it was the first day Sarah went to the Cooper family after giving birth, Daphne took the
initiative to take care of Ethan in the hospital and let Christian return home.

Although there was a chef at home and they could order any kind of food they wanted, but for dinner,
Christian still personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for his wife.

During dinner, Christian let his wife and mother-in-law go to Stephen to play in the living room.

Today, the house suddenly became lively, and Julian was in high spirits. He ate dinner very quickly.
After dinner, he let Ruby take him to the sofa first. When he heard Christian laugh happily with his
daughter, he couldn’t help but ask Hannah to give Stephen to him.

When the babbling little guy came into Julian’s arms, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Big Brother, does he look like me?” Julian asked as he smiled and touched Stephen’s face in his arms,
which made the little guy protest unhappily.



“Yes, he looks like you. Julian, when Stephen grows up, let him join the army with me.” Knowing that
his brother would not agree, Christian smiled and joked with him.

“Okay! Let Simona take over the Cooper Group. Then you will be in trouble. If this girl becomes a
strong woman, most men will stay away from her. You can hardly find a husband for her Big brother.”
Julian was in a good mood. He smiled and joked with Christian.

“Our Simona’s charm is unparalleled. Even if she takes over the Cooper Group, she will definitely
mesmerize everyone.” Christian kissed his daughter’s face as he spoke.

“Big Brother, Dad has been recovering well these days. When are you going to return to the army?”

“In few days. Sarah just came back today. Dad is still in the hospital. We will talk about it after
everything settle down.”

“If the army is busy, you don’t have to worry too much about the family matters. Sister-in-law and Vivian
have already been discharged from the hospital anyway. My mother is in the hospital. Furthermore,
there is still advanced care. You don’t have to worry too much. If there is any situation at home, I will
call you at any time.”

Julian understood that after Christian had become commander, his work had become busier than
before.

“Ok, I will handle the matters in the army. Don’t worry.” He was really worried about his family’s current
state.

While the two of them were talking, the others also finished eating and walked over. Sarah took Simona
from Christian’s arms and let Christian eat dinner.



No one knew if he was hungry or not. But as Sarah walked over and he saw his mother coming, little
Stephen stuck out his little tongue and started crying in Julian’s arms.

“Why is he crying?” Julian who had never taken care of a baby was at a loss.

Hearing the crying, Sarah turned to look a Stephen. Looking at the anxious look on the little guy’s face,
Sarah first gave Simona to her mother, then walked to Julian’s side and carried Stephen over.

She carried him back to her bedroom. Just as she walked to the sofa and sat down, the little guy was
already impatient to eat his dinner.

Sarah looked at him and smiled. She stretched out her hand and lifted the hem of her clothes. The little
guy’s small mouth impatiently moved over and held onto his mother’s chest. Stephen then closed his
eyes and started to eat with all his might.

Sarah looked at Stephen who was eating happily in her arms, smiled and reached out her hand to
touch his face. Halfway through eating, Stephen suddenly turned his head from his mother’s arms and
looked at his mother who was staring at him. He suddenly smiled happily and revealed his pink gums.
Then, he returned to his original position and continued to eat milk.

When Stephen was about to finish eating, Christian walked in. He walked to his wife’s side and sat
down.

Christian looked at Stephen in her arms and smiled. Then he looked at his wife beside him. He raised
his hand and gently rubbed her hair. Suddenly, he moved closer to her face and kissed her lightly.

Sarah turned her face and smiled at him.

“If you feed two children at the same time, will you feel wronged?” Other than their own child, the other
one was Vivian’s!



Sarah smiled and looked at Stephen who was in her arms. She gently said, “I don’t know if I have
feelings for this little guy in these few days, but every time I see him, I feel very close as if. . . as if he is
also my child. I never felt that he was not my own child. I don’t know if it was because you who gave
him his name, every time I hear his name, I always have an inexplicable feeling. I have never hated
him. How can I feel wronged?”

“It’s rare for you to think that way, so I feel relieved.”

Sarah smiled again. “Don’t worry. I won’t treat him badly just because he isn’t our child. Even if Simona
feels wronged, I can’t let Stephen be wronged. Don’t you agree?”

Christian smiled and kissed his wife again. “What fortune did I, Christian Cooper, have in my previous
life? How could I have such a good wife?”
