Love Contract

Chapter 173 Buying Gifts ( Part Two)

"Yeah! Daddy Barry is the best!"

"What do you want to buy?" While they were talking, Lucas came in with thermal boxes in his hands, just like Barry did.

"Daddy Lucas!" Seeing Lucas, Elissa immediately stretched out her arms and asked for a hug from Lucas.

Lucas held Elissa in his arms. "Tell Daddy Lucas, what do you want to buy?" he asked with a smug smile.

"A pink piano."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

"Yeah! Daddy Lucas is the best, too!" Elissa bounced with joy.

"You two, don't spoil her too much. She doesn't need another piano." Mary shook her head. "It's a waste of money to buy two pianos."

"It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter."

The two men said those words simultaneously. Feeling that she might burst into laughter, Mary lowered her head. She rubbed her nose with amusement.

Barry and Lucas looked at each other and turned their heads away because they disliked each other.

"By the way, Mary," Barry said while holding up the thermal boxes, "this is the dinner I asked Hester to prepare. You should eat it while it's still hot."

"Have you eaten yet?" Mary looked at Barry. "Let's eat together."

"Hey, Mary! Mary!" Lucas hurried over. "Eat mine! The healthy meal I cooked is very delicious!"

"Mary." Barry was not to be outdone. "Hester also made a nutritious meal. She even made your favorite porridge."

"Mary..."

"All right, all right." Mary waved her hand. "I'll eat them all."

They all had dinner together in Elissa's ward.

"Mary. I'll be going on a business trip in another city for a few days." Barry looked up at Mary.

"Oh! A business trip!" Before Mary could say anything, Lucas interrupted, "It's good that you have a business trip. I'll take care of Mary after you leave." Barry almost choked on his food. He was speechless. He gazed at Mary. "Mary. I'm afraid that a villain like him would take advantage of this opportunity."

"What? No, no! This is a fair competition!" Lucas scorned him. "You're the one going on a business trip. I didn't force you to leave."

"When are you leaving?" Mary asked.

"Tonight."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mary frowned as she picked through the food.

"I was supposed to leave this afternoon." Barry smiled. "But Alick is injured. How could I leave at ease?"

"Barry..." Mary looked at him and sobbed.

"Don't cry." Barry touched her face. "If you feel a little moved, just promise me that you won't be poached by Lucas while I'm away."

Mary didn't expect to hear that. She blushed.

"I will definitely do that. Anyway, it's not the first time!" Lucas shouted.

After saying that, everyone in the room grew wide-eyed.

As for the so-called first time to poach Mary, Lucas was referring to when he took Mary away from William four years ago. "Daddy Lucas," Elissa asked, breaking the awkward silence, "what are you going to poach? Can you take Elissa with you?"

"Well..." Lucas shook his head and came back to his senses. "I'm not going to poach anything. Come on, have some fish, Elissa. It's delicious...

Barry and Mary also continued to eat dinner, but the happy atmosphere disappeared.

Outside the ward, no one noticed that William was standing by the door.

With the thermal boxes in his hand, he looked at the several people having dinner together. His heart seemed to be soaked in jealousy.

After saying goodbye to Virgil, he hurried back home. He wanted to cook for Mary and the children by himself, but it was too late. When he arrived in the hospital, they were already eating.

After staring at the people inside the ward, he turned around coldly and walked into the ward that was full of toys.

With a gloomy look on his face, William sat on the floor and swayed the wooden horse.

After a while, it started getting dark outside.

William rubbed his temples and stood up to leave. When he walked to the door of the ward, he saw a man and a woman standing in the corridor. "Mary, I'm leaving!" Barry announced. "Take good care of yourself. Call me as soon as Alick wakes up!"

"Sure. I will." Mary smiled. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"No, thanks." Barry shook his head. "You need to take care of those two kids."

William clenched his fists. 'They are my kids and this is my wife. Get away from her!'

"Mary," Barry continued, "you know, I'm not threatened by Lucas, but someone else."

"I..."

"He's the biological father of the children. Besides, I'm thinking that he has special feelings for you." Barry held Mary's hand. "While I'm not here, you must not change your mind, okay?"

William's face turned livid with rage. However, he couldn't do anything but hold back his anger.

"I know." Mary nodded with a smile. "Then you must come back early."

"Okay. I will. You can call me at any time." Barry smiled as he caressed her face. "I'll be leaving now."

"Okay."

"Give me a kiss." Mary flushed. She pretended to be annoyed. "Just go!"

"See you." Barry smirked, but when she wasn't paying attention, he gave her a quick kiss.

William pounded on the wall of the ward with his fist, but accidentally touched the wound caused by preparing dinner. He took a deep breath.

When he looked up again, Barry had left. Mary was left alone in the corridor.

With a bang, William pushed the ward door open and walked out.

The loud noise startled Mary. She looked at the source of the sound reflexively, and saw the beast- like William at the door of the ward.

"William... William?" Pointing at him, Mary gulped. "What are you doing here? Huh?"

"Can't I come to see my own children?" William walked closer to Mary step by step.

"Didn't I tell you not to come here? What are you doing?" Mary took a step back but kept her eyes on him.

"Mary Lu." William walked forward, forcing her to the corner of the wall. He propped his hands against the wall, trapping her. "Is it fair to me? You told me the truth when you needed my help. When I found out that they were my children, I didn't say anything before you told me to stay away from them! Aren't you being selfish? Hmm?"

"Do you want me to watch my son die?" Mary smiled coldly. "I asked you to transfuse blood to him. I didn't have a choice. Do you think I wanted you to come here? "

"Mary Lu..."

"Mommy!"

While the two were talking, Lucas came over with Elissa in his arms.

Elissa's eyes lit up at the sight of William. "Uncle? You're here too!"

As William turned around, the anger on his face disappeared. He tilted his head and smiled weakly, "Elissa, Elissa..."

"Uncle, do you know my mommy?"

"Yes. I do." The corners of William's mouth twitched.

"Elissa." Mary called her name in a panic. She held her daughter in her arms. "Why'd you come back so soon? Didn't you go out with Daddy Lucas?"

"I'm tired and I want to sleep." Resting her head on Mary's shoulder, Elissa yawned.

"Mary, you should take her to the ward to rest." Lucas glared at William. "I have something I want to say to him." "Okay." Mary ran away with Elissa in her arms.

William fixed his eyes on the receding figures of the mother and daughter.

"What are you looking at? They're both gone." Lucas gave him a cold smile.

William frowned. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I just want to know what you are thinking," Lucas said.

"Of course I want to take them back."

"Mary won't allow that," Lucas replied. "When I took her to the US, she was drowning in pain due to her mother's death. Sometimes, she wouldn't eat for days. When I reminded her about the babies, she ate like a maniac and vomited after eating."

William's eyes darkened as he heard what she experienced. He kept silent.

"It was really painful for her at that time. It didn't get better until three months later." Lucas laughed weakly. "If you dare steal Alick and Elissa, I won't let you off easily, either!"

"I wasn't planning on taking them away," William said as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "I want to take both Mary and them back."

"I don't think you can do that." "Fuck off!"

"I'm telling you the truth. I wouldn't talk to you if I were Mary because of your four years of romantic escapades with multiple women."

Unable to say a word, William leaned against the wall and placed his hands on his head. "What should I do then?"

"I don't know." Lucas shook his head. "All I know is you lost her already. Barry was her first love. After breaking up with her, Barry had been working hard and never had a girlfriend. These past four years, he took care of Mary and her children... I think you'd better find a place to cry.

"I'm going insane!" William couldn't help but blame himself. "From now on, I won't hang out with those women anymore, I promise."

"Are you saying that because you've indulged yourself for four years and now you got some sort of disease?" Lucas glanced at William with a sinister smile.

"No! What the hell, Lucas!" William snapped.

"Don't be shy. It's alright. I know some experts in this field..." Lucas snickered.

"You're asking for death! What I meant to say was that I want Mary only!" William interrupted him. He was sure that if Lucas said one more word, he would beat him up! "Okay, okay. I won't say it again!" Lucas hurriedly begged for mercy. "You want her back, but she doesn't want you."

His wish would be very difficult to become true.

William frowned.

The topic finally changed. It didn't matter what he wanted to do, because this time, it was Mary who abandoned him...
