Chapter 255 Going Home Together (Part Two)
"He... He is sick and in the hospital!" Suddenly, Selah wanted to cry. The kids' questions poked her heart inadvertently. Seeing that Alick and Elissa were so happy, she wondered when her son could be like them.
"What a poor boy!"
"Is his father with him?" asked Alick innocently.
Selah's body stiffened. Looking at the kids' innocent eyes she shook her head quickly. "No. He is not."
"Okay," Elissa said seriously, "I see. Ray's father is Daddy Barry, right? Aunt Selah lives with Daddy Barry so he must be Ray's father. Dad said that a child's father and mother should live together."
'What?'
Selah's mind went blank. She looked at Barry with horrified expression and quickly waved her hand. "No. He's not his father."
Embarrassed and annoyed, Barry looked away. After a moment, he turned to the kids and changed the subject. "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat, shall we?" ''Yeah!'1
''Great!'1
"I'll go to the kitchen and bring out the food!" Selah lowered her head and rushed to the kitchen.
In Kary Villa, everything was ready. In a matter of minutes, they would head to Z City.
"William." A woman walked out of the villa. It was hard to tell whether it was Mary or Aisha.
"Why? Where is Mary?" Without batting an eyelash, William closed the trunk of his car.
"Wow," Aisha said as she came over while chewing a gum, "How'd you know it's me?"
"I can see it," answered William expressionlessly.
"Why didn't you see it before?"
"I didn't know that there was someone who looked exactly like Mary. It was inevitable to make a mistake. Don't worry, it won't happen again."
"Whatever."
"What are you chatting about?" Mary walked out of the villa with a smile.
"Here you are, Mary!" With a surprised expression on his face, William quickly walked up to Mary and took the bag from her hand. "Let's go. Get in the car." "Okay."
"Wait! Wait!"
Just as the three of them were about to get into the car, another car suddenly arrived in front of the villa. Jazlyn stuck her head out of the window on the driver's side and yelled, "Boss, wait for me!"
"What are you doing here?" Aisha asked in bewilderment.
"I'll go with you to protect you," Jazlyn answered after jumping out of the car.
"Do I even need your protection?"
Before they could say a few more words, two more cars stopped at the gate of the villa.
As handsome as always, Archer opened the door and got out of a car. He looked at Aisha with a smile, opened his arms, and walked forward. "Oh, my darling!"
He pulled Aisha into his arms and kissed her on the cheek with a loud sound. Her face was full of enjoyment, which made the other three disgusted.
In the other car, Lucas got off as well.
Looking at the man, Jazlyn could not help but shout, "Why are you here again? Stop following me!"
"Why should I follow you?" Lucas glared at her and added, "I'm here for Mary, okay? Don't flatter yourself!"
"Remember what you said. Don't follow me!" Jazlyn was fuming with anger and annoyance.
"I will definitely follow you. You need to be responsible for me."
Everyone, except Jazlyn, snorted at Lucas's remark. Mary could not help but laugh while watching them.
"This group of people are so ridiculous," said William as he put his arm around Mary's shoulders. Looking at the four people around them, he whispered, "We are supposed to go there for a family business, but they followed us one by one as if we are on a group tour."
Upon hearing William's words, Mary snorted. "What do you mean by 'we'? Logically speaking, it is supposed to be a family business between Aisha and me. You aren't supposed to come with us either."
"Said who? I'm different from them. Isn't your family affair my family affair?" With an innocent smile on his face, William said, "We are family!"
"Your family name is Lan, and mine is Lu. What about it?"
"Then... when will you take the children back to the Lan Family? When? Let's become a real family! Alick Lan, Elissa Lan... It sounds good," said William and he quickly kissed her on the cheek. "Mary, when are you going to marry me?"
Mary blushed and quickly slapped him away. "Is it popular to propose in this way? If I said yes now, would you hold the wedding here right now?"
"Although I can't wait, I have to prepare for it too!" Holding her hand, William thought, 'Mary, please wait a bit. When everything is ready, I will give you the grandest wedding. Everyone will witness our love as we exchange our vows. I will lead you there." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Mary smiled shyly. She felt very comfortable with their current status now. She lived with William for so long and their two lovely kids called them "Dad" and "Mommy". Getting a marriage certificate and holding a wedding ceremony was just an additional benefit. She would still be fine with it if there was none.
"All right, all right. Let's get down to business."
"Okay." A brilliant smile appeared on William's face, making him more charming and attractive than ever.
As Mary looked at him, her heart beat faster. After all this time, she still found William mesmerizing. No wonder she fell in love with him four years ago. Moreover, how could she not feel happy after being spoiled by William? She could not dream of this feeling four years ago.
"Hey, have you finished your discussion?" William knocked the roof of his car to catch everyone's attention. "If we don't set out now, we'll have to leave tomorrow morning."
"Of course! We should leave now!" Lucas spoke first. "I'll go in Jazlyn's car! I don't care what you say. She has to be responsible for me!"
"Okay, let's go!" Gritting her teeth, Jazlyn said, "I don't want to drive. Who doesn't want a free driver?"
"I didn't say I will drive!" replied Lucas.
"You won't drive?" Jazlyn lifted the corners of her mouth and stepped forward menacingly. She clasped her hands, and the knuckles of her fingers cracked. "You don't want to drive? Say that again?"
"Of course I will drive!" Lucas hurried to get into the car and sat on the driver's seat. Obviously, he lost in this battle.
"Then I have to go as well!" Archer smiled evilly and added, "Aisha and I are inseparable."
"Geez." Mary and William looked at each other at the same time. They both felt goosebumps all over. Rolling their eyes, they ignored others and got into their car.
"Let's go!" Like a gentleman, Archer considerately opened the door for Aisha. "Okay." Aisha got into the car and her heart sank as soon as she sat down. She was really captivated by him and would faint at the sight of his handsome face. However, her mission was still at work. Was she really using him?
Otherwise, why did she not answer Jazlyn's question that day?
When they arrived at Z City, it was already midnight. They agreed that they would stay at a hotel tonight and find Mary's father in the morning.
"Boss, I'll sleep in the same room with you," Jazlyn said to Aisha at the front desk of the hotel.
"Okay." Aisha nodded in agreement.
"What about me?" Archer got close to Aisha and looked at her with his blinking amorous eyes. "I can warm up the bed, honey. Do you want to sleep with me?"
"0-"
Before she could finish the word 'okay', Jazlyn strongly resisted and reminded Aisha, "Boss, don't be captivated by this man's beauty!"
"Don't you want to sleep with your 'one-night lover'?" Aisha turned around and asked her calmly.
"Who wants to sleep with him? I'd rather sleep alone!" Jazlyn shouted while glaring at Lucas. "Then I will sleep in the same room with you," replied Aisha with a smile. She turned to the reception desk and said, "A suite please."
Meanwhile, William held Mary's hand, never letting go even once, as he checked in at the other side of the reception desk. He handed over their ID cards and said, "One suite for us two."
"Hey, hey, William! Don't do that!" Lucas came out of nowhere and glared at William while standing in between him and Mary. "Archer and I have to sleep alone. Isn't it unfair if you stay with your wife tonight?"
"Yes, I agree!" Archer came over gracefully with an evil smile.
"I have no choice," William said as he took the room card and smirked at the two men. "If you are competent enough, why don't you persuade the ladies to share rooms with you. Mary, you must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. Let's go to our room and have a good rest!"
"Okay." Mary nodded and the two walked forward leisurely.
"Alas! It seems we have to stay in the same room for tonight," Lucas said as he put his arm on Archer's shoulder.
"I'm not interested in you. Let's sleep separately! " Archer shook him off and handed his ID card to the front desk. "A suite please."
"Humph! Damn it!" The next day, their group went to the village where Mary's father was staying, causing a crowd of onlookers.
William asked an old woman, who looked somewhat kind, for directions. "Excuse me, ma'am, do you know where Jay Lu's house is?"
The woman looked at them curiously and asked, "What's wrong? Did he cause trouble again?"
"Not really, we came to find him for a personal matter," answered William respectfully.
"Oh, personal matter, you say?" The woman nodded and pointed at a place behind her. "It's on this street. Go straight ahead until you see a big dog at the door of the house."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
"You're welcome!"
They walked forward and heard a group of villagers talking behind them.
"Those young men are young and handsome!"
"Yes, just like those who appear on TV!"
"Why are they so good looking?"
The closer they got to the house, the less they were in the mood to laugh.
Aisha wanted to know what had happened in the past. For so many years, she thought she was an orphan. No matter how much she had suffered, she didn't feel miserable. But now, she had found a
family. She just wanted to know why she was abandoned by her family before!
Mary swallowed hard nervously as she looked at the door in front of her. If it was only possible, she would rather not come to see her so-called father again!
