Not trying to stir up trouble, but I think you wanted to use "content" there. "Contempt" means someone you hate or despise.
"Content" is one of those words that make English so complicated, because the word has two different meanings, and when spoken the different meanings are told by where the accent is used.
"
Content" means what's inside, as "The content of the story was not suitable for children."
"Con
tent" means happy, or satisfied, which is the word you wanted there.
