Love Contract

Chapter 329 Extra Story Plaything (Part Two)

Selah followed closely after him.

She was usually a straightforward person. Why did she act this way whenever she was with Barry? He made her feel weak and vulnerable. She couldn't understand it.

On the way home, Barry drove without saying a word.

Selah was uncomfortable with his silence. It was obvious that she had been the one wronged in this situation. Why was Barry angrier than she was? Why was he acting like she did something wrong to him? As he drove, she noticed that his injured hand had recovered.

Barry drove back to the villa in a rage. He couldn't understand why he was so angry. Was it because of male chauvinism? Did he mark Selah as his woman? Why did he go crazy when another man tried to harm her?

He couldn't answer any of the questions that plagued his mind, so he loosened his tie and stomped upstairs.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he was shocked at what he saw. He had only been away for a few days, but Selah had done a lot to the place.

There was a pot of flowers on the balcony, and a picture of Selah and Ray on the bedside table. She also decorated the sofa with two decorative cushions. The place looked more like a home than it ever had.

"Mr. Gu, I..." Selah hesitantly followed him in. When she saw Barry standing by the door in a daze, she explained.

"I... I usually... I'll clean it up right away!" "There's no need for that." Barry turned and looked at Selah with a vague look on his face. "I'll sleep in the guest room."

After taking a few steps away from her, he stopped and said, "You should go to bed early. You must have been frightened." Then he left without saying another word.

"Click."

Barry walked into the next room and closed his door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Selah's heart pounded in her chest. She suddenly ran and threw herself on the large bed. She buried her head in the luxurious sheets and giggled to herself.

By the time Selah woke up the next morning, Barry had already left for work.

That evening, when Selah got back to the villa, Barry was still not home.

The same thing happened the next day.

'I guess Barry's not coming home today again!' Selah thought to herself. Barry was home less than she was, despite the villa being his.

One day, Selah dragged her exhausted body back to the villa. She assumed that no one would be there. As soon as she opened the door, a pink little thing bumped against her leg.

"Watch out!" Selah caught the girl's arm and said, "Hey! Are you okay?"

"I'm okay... Who are you?" the small girl asked in a sweet tone.

Looking at the cute girl,

Selah couldn't help but giggle at her. The girl was really cute.

"Elissa!" A boy rushed out of the room. He looked exactly like Mr. Lan from AJ Group.

"Oh, I remember you!" Selah recognized them at once. "Your mother is Manager Lu, right?"

"Our mommy's name is not Manager Lu. Her name is Mary Lu," Elissa said with a pout.

"You're so adorable!" Selah was charmed by her and pinched her chubby cheek.

"Do you live here? When will Daddy Barry come back?" Alick questioned.

Tm not sure. Will he come back?" Selah asked.

"Yes. Mommy told us he will," Elissa confirmed.

"I see," Selah said with a hint of expectation in her voice.

"But Alick, I'm so hungry. When will Daddy Barry come back?" Elissa whined.

"Are you hungry?" The more Selah looked at the little girl, the more she grew fond of her. She took Elissa's hand in hers and said, "I... will cook for you. Is that okay?"

"Wow! That's awesome!"

When Barry returned home, he walked in the door and saw a warm scene unfolding in front of him.

Selah walked out of the kitchen with a steaming bowl of noodles in her hands. Alick sat on the carpet and waited patiently for his food. Elissa sniffed as she trailed after Selah, and said with a smile, "It smells so good!" "What smells so good?" Barry stepped inside the villa and asked in a low voice.

"Daddy Barry!"

The two children ran over to him at once and clamored for a hug.

"My dearest babies!" Barry smiled and picked both of them up. He walked them over to Selah. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Did you miss Daddy Barry?"

"Yes, I do!"

"I miss you so much!" Barry kissed the tops of their heads and placed them down on the sofa.

Selah's heart warmed as she watched Barry dote on the children.

Barry looked at Selah and asked, "Did you cook dinner?"

"They said they were hungry so... I made some noodles," Selah answered and bit her lips.

"The noodles cooked by this big sister smell so good!" Elissa said.

"Big sister?" Barry looked at Selah and raised an eyebrow at her. With short hair, she looked like a college student who was simple and pure.

Selah lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Call her Auntie or Aunt Selah in the future, alright?" Barry said as he touched Elissa's nose.

"Why?"

"Because..." Barry pressed his lips together. "Because she has a baby, and her baby is older than Elissa!"

"Really?" Alick looked at Selah with newfound curiosity.

"Yes," Selah nodded shyly.

"Aunt Selah, where is your baby?” Elissa tilted her head and asked, "Is it a baby boy or a baby girl? What's your baby's name?" "It's a boy," Selah said with a soft smile. "His name is Ray."

"Ray? Where is he now? Why is Ray not with his mommy?" Elissa asked.

"He... He is sick and in the hospital!" Selah's throat felt tight, and she suddenly had the urge to cry. When she saw Alick and Elissa, she wondered when her son could be healthy like them.

"What a poor boy!"

"Is his father with him?" Alick asked with furrowed brows.

Selah's body stiffened at the mention of her son's father. She stared at the children's eyes full of questions and shook her head. "No, he isn't..."

"I see!" Elissa exclaimed. "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."

Children were so naive!

Selah's mind went blank. She quickly looked at Barry in a panic and quickly waved her hand to explain. "No... He's not his father."

Barry looked away from them, feeling embarrassed and flustered. "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat, shall we?"

"I'll go to the kitchen and bring out the food!" Selah quickly lowered her head and ran to the kitchen.

After dinner, the children continued to fuss over Barry, but he remained patient with them.

"Daddy Barry, will you read us bedtime stories?" Barry carried the two children in his arms and tucked them into bed.

"Auntie Selah! Please come with us!" Elissa exclaimed.

Selah was stunned by her request, so Barry spoke on behalf of her and said, "Auntie Selah will come with us."

Inside of Barry's bedroom, four people lay side by side on the large bed. Both children had stuffed toys tucked underneath their arms.

The children urged Selah to read them their bedside stories, and she obliged after feeling pressured by Barry's intimidating eyes.

"In the end, the whole family lived happily ever after."

Selah closed the book when she finished the story. When she glanced at the children, they weren't drowsy at all.

"Aunt Selah, are you scared of Daddy Barry?" Alick suddenly asked.

Selah immediately shook her head. "No, I'm not."

"You answered too fast! That means you're lying!" Alick accused. Barry looked at Selah with a faint smile, which made her even more nervous.

"Daddy Barry is a good guy!" Elissa said in a sweet tone. "He's handsome too! He always buys KFC for me and Alick in secret. He looks even nicer when he smiles. Why are you so afraid of him?" she added. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Daddy Barry is the best!" Alick agreed.

"Good babies. Daddy Barry loves you both the most!" Barry was amused by their compliments and kissed Alick on the cheek.

"Daddy Barry, me! Me! Me!" Elissa leaned her face close to Barry.

"Muah!"

Barry placed a heavy kiss on her cheek and smiled widely at her.

Selah smiled faintly as she watched them. While she was caught up in the moment, Elissa suddenly said, "Daddy Barry, give Aunt Selah a kiss too! Kiss her! Come on!"

"Hmm..." Barry was rendered speechless by her request. He didn't know how to deal with his mischievous little girl. He quickly changed the topic to distract them. "It's getting late. Sleep now! Your mother will be angry if she finds out you stay up late!"

"Haha..."

The two children cuddled with one another and slowly fell asleep.

"Click."

The two quietly walked out of the bedroom and closed the door after the children fell asleep.

"They're adorable." Selah couldn't help but sigh.

"They are," Barry agreed. "They'll be staying with us for a few days, by the way."

"I see... Is Manager Lu busy with something?"

"Yes, it's all because her twin sister suddenly appeared at the celebration party. They both went back to their hometown so their family could verify their identities."

That was why she saw two Maries that day!

"Okay," Selah nodded. "Mr. Gu, please go to bed early. I can sleep in the guest room."

"Wait a second!" Barry suddenly took a step forward towards her.

"Mr. Gu?" Selah was stunned when he called out to her. She stepped backward until her back hit the wall.

Barry approached her and put a hand on the wall next to her head. He stared at Selah and gave her no room to escape him.

Selah's breath hitched. What was going on with him? Why was he acting like this? She shook her head to calm herself. What was he doing to her?

"It seems like Alick was right. You are afraid of me!" In a low voice, Barry asked, "Am I repulsive? Do you think I'm ugly?"

Selah shook her head in a panic. 'What are you talking about? You're so handsome, Barry!'

"Why do you always look at me like I'm about to eat you alive?" Barry raised an eyebrow at her. "You're so scared, aren't you? Should I be upset? Or should I be happy?"

"I...I..." Selah stammered and blinked her eyes rapidly at him. She couldn't find the right words to say.

"Haha..." Barry chuckled softly. He backed away from Selah, then turned around to leave.

Selah stood still and the image of Barry's intoxicating smile was engraved into her mind. She had never seen such a beautiful sight.

Was he messing with her head? Was he that bored? He didn't act like himself just now...

A small smile suddenly blossomed from the corners of Selah's mouth. It felt like a seed had been planted inside of her heart. When she looked back at this moment many years later, she realized that it was the moment she started having a crush on Barry.
