Love Contract

Chapter 193 His Embrace (P art Two)

Sometimes I thought that if you didn't come back, I would live miserably all my life. I could not find you anyway."

"William, can I trust you again?" After hearing what he said, Mary said in a low voice, "It was just a marriage connected by a contract. How would you fall in love with me? Besides, I have been away for four years."

"Why not?" William rested his chin on her head and said slowly, "I fell in love with you at first sight. Eventually, I got to love you deeper and deeper but I was so stupid to notice."

"But, don't you love..." When Mary spoke, her voice was low. After crying so hard, she felt dizzy. Even though she was just standing, she felt so tired.

"No, I don't," sighed William. "I don't know what was wrong with me when I was young. How would I do such a ridiculous thing? I only treat him as my younger brother, Mary. Trust me. From now on, nothing would happen between me and him."

The two just held each other quietly in the balcony.

"Mary?" Hearing no response, William asked softly, "Are you sleeping?"

Mary's eyes were closed. Although she heard his voice, she was too tired to respond.

With a smile on his face, William picked Mary up in his arms and walked quietly to her bedroom.

After putting her on the bed, William kissed her forehead and the two kids'.

Gazing at the three who were sleeping, William wanted to hold them all in his arms.

They were his wife and children.

When he was about to get up, Alick suddenly opened his eyes.

William was surprised to see that he was still awake. He asked Alick softly, "Little guy, why are you still up?"

"I woke up when I heard Mommy crying." Alick's eyes lit up. "Mommy cried because she missed Grandma, right?"

"Yes." William touched his head gently.

However, Alick did not enjoy being touched by him so he frowned a little. "I heard Mommy saying she hates you."

"So you also hate me?" asked William with a bitter smile.

"I don't like you." Alick continued, "You did not care about me or my sister. I still don't want to admit that you are my father."

"Alick, you..." With his mouth slightly open, William asked in surprise, "You already know that I'm your father?"

"I asked Grandpa." Alick pouted and added, "And everyone says that I look like you very much. I've known the truth for a long time."

Hearing that, William felt a little excited. Although Alick did not like him yet, he knew that William was his father and that was enough.

"When I was a child, I looked exactly like you." Looking at his own 'mini version', William's eyes were full of fatherly love. "Do you want me to show you my photos some other day?"

"I don't want to see them." Alick turned his head away and said, "If you piss Mommy off and make her cry again, I'll fight you when I grow up. I'm good at fighting."

William smiled but he felt sad. "Why are you good at fighting?"

"Because I want to protect Mommy and Elissa. The children in the kindergarten bullied us. They said we did not have a father, so I beat them."

"Children in the kindergarten bullied you? Really?" Hearing this, William clenched his fists.

"When we first went there, some children bullied my sister! They said we had two daddies, but didn't have a father."

"But you have a father, Alick. I'm going to find those kids who bullied you and tell them that you have father! I am your father!"

"I don't want it!" Alick turned around with anger to avoid looking at him. "What's so good about you?"

"Then I will work hard in the future, okay?" William smiled bitterly. "What did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll change it, okay?"

Alick did not say anything more.

William waited for his answer, but he only heard Alick's shallow breathing. He could not help but shake his head and laugh. It was really like mother, like son. Both of them fell asleep while talking to him. He did not even know if they heard what he said or not.

Early the next morning, all of them gathered in Mary's room for breakfast.

"Last night, I woke up but I did not see you anywhere. Where did you go?" Lucas said to William.

Mary, who was holding a bowl, paused. Glancing at her either intentionally or unintentionally, William turned to Lucas and said, "Do I have to report to you every time I go to the toilet?"

"Humph!" Lucas gave him a cold look but said nothing. Alick was about to say something when he saw William put his index finger to his lips, making a "hush" gesture to him. Although Alick did not understand why, the young boy nodded and said nothing anyway.

Sitting aside, Barry clearly saw what happened between William and Alick. His eyes darkened at once.

At a seaside villa, A City.

Frank was sitting on the sofa, clutching his phone tightly. It was not until he got the call that he knew that William had returned to Mary's hometown with her.

His dear William, the one who had taken him to Norway when he was devastated, the one who went to Japan alone to take him back. Those good things that had happened between him and William had turned into the past.

"William, I still love you."

Many years ago, after his sister's death, he confessed his love to William.

"Your sister, Sansa, died to save me. Do you still love me?" A painful look appeared in William's eyes.

"I don't blame you. I believe that my sister wouldn't blame you either, William." Frank reached out to touch William's white shirt. "I still like you." That was when he saw William's eyes change. Finally, he said, "Then let's be together."

"Really?" Frank's voice trembled.

"Really." William nodded and touched his hair.

"William!" Frank wrapped his arms around William's waist and looked up at him. "I'm so happy!"

"Good to hear that." A smile appeared at the corners of William's mouth.

"William!" he called out, moved closer to William's lips and quickly kissed him. "My first kiss."

Upon hearing that, William was stunned as if ice froze him.

"William," Frank asked in confusion, "are you not happy?"

"Yes, I'm happy." William shook his head. He suddenly clasped Frank's head and kissed him deeply. "It's also my first kiss."

As Frank thought of the past, his eyes constricted. He would take back all that belonged to him! Step by step! No matter what it took!

He turned on his phone and dialed the number he had never dialed before.

Beep! Beep! "Hello?" Corbett's lazy tone came from the other end of the line. "This is unusual. You never call me."

"Do me a favor." When Frank spoke, his voice was terribly cold.

"What's the matter?" A bitter smile appeared on Corbett's face. 'Of course, you only call me when you want to use me.'

"Lend me some of your men."

"Okay."

Corbett agreed without further questions. Hearing that, Frank was taken aback. "Don't you want to ask me what I'm going to do?"

"Murder, arson, committing crimes," said Corbett while sneering. "My men are good at these. I'm sure you know that."

"The young lord is truly smart."

"I'll send them to you tomorrow," said Corbett. "I don't care what you want to do as long as you are fine."

Frank was stunned. "Don't worry. I'll live longer than you!"

"Ha ha! That's good."

It had been a few days since they returned to A City. Both William and Mary had not mentioned anything about their chat and crying that night to each other. They had no chance to speak to each other again anyway.

At AJ Building.

When it was almost time to get off work, William was a little restless. He had not seen the kids for several days and he missed them very much.

He knew he had to find a way.

After a long silence, William knocked on the desk. He had decided to pick them up from the kindergarten. 'Yes! That's it!'

William put his coat on and grabbed the car key. After that, he strode out of the office. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Boss, where are you going?" Virgil asked.

"Go to..." William answered cheerfully, "pick up my babies at the kindergarten."

"Wow, boss, you really love them, don't you? They must be very happy when they see you there."

"You brat!" William patted him with a smile. He could not hide his joy and excitement as he hurried downstairs.

Watching William go, Andy picked up her phone and sent a text message to someone. "He is going to pick up the children in the kindergarten.

William drove to the gate of the kindergarten. It suddenly occurred to him that if Barry came to pick them up later, he would have no chance to see the two kids.

So he pulled over and quickly got out of the car. Walking towards the kindergarten, he knew he had to take the move first.

Therefore, he deceived the piano teacher and janitor at the kindergarten. This gave him the opportunity to enter the kindergarten smoothly and take the two kids away.

"This is my father!"

Before leaving, Elissa proudly showed off to the children. "My father is very handsome, isn't he? Humph! He is also very powerful!"

"Yes, I am their father." Glancing around the well decorated classroom, William announced it coldly to the group of children who had runny noses. "If anyone of you dares to bully them in the future, I will beat you up!"

He then picked up the two kids at the same time and walked out.

The piano teacher was left with confusion in the classroom.

Elissa was overjoyed. If she had a tail, it must be waving so happily. On the other hand, Alick did not say anything. It was the first time that he had been held by this man, and he felt that he was not as hateful as he used to be.
