Love Contract

Chapter 398 Happiness ( Part One)

In Kary Villa Mary and William got ready to go to Elissa and Alick's school to attend the parent-teacher conference.

"Time flies, doesn't it? Feels like it was only yesterday that they joined school, and now, they're already halfway through their first year. Makes me feel like I am so old," Mary said with a sigh, picking up her handbag.

"You don't look a day older than when I first met you. My wife will always be the same charming beauty that I met a few years ago," William said as he pulled her closer and kissed her.

Mary wrapped her arm around him and teased, "You're such a sweet talker! I'll represent Alick at the meeting today while you represent Elissa okay?"

"Why? They're both in the same class, right?" "Alick got the first place in the exam, and I want his teacher to praise me for raising such a smart boy!" Mary said proudly.

"Like father like son! Anyway, Elissa's grades aren't that bad. She is a girl, so she doesn't need to study all that hard. We'll always be here to support her,” William said with a smile.

"Well... Can you say for sure that you will be able to support her throughout her life?" Mary asked.

"Just like I take care of you, Ray will take care of Elissa."

With a smile, Mary and William headed downstairs. Just when they reached the end of the flight of stairs, they heard a scream "Daddy!"

"What's wrong, my little princess?" William asked as he rushed to the living room and picked up his toddler daughter, Babe. "Why are you crying, what's wrong?”

"Don't go, Daddy!" Saying that, Babe burst into tears.

"Daddy is not going anywhere! I am just going to your brother and sister's school for a meeting. I will be back before you know it, okay?” William said lovingly.

Standing aside, Mary wondered, ‘How could he be so close with her?' Ever since Babe was born, she had been spoiled by William. She could get anything she asked for and no one dared to refuse her. Mary couldn't bear to see them being so close, as if even a moment's separation would kill them.

"Are you coming or not, William?" she asked, looking at her watch

"Let's take Babe along,” he said. He had finally managed to pacify her and did not want to make her cry again.

"Don't you dare, William! Put your daughter down, now! If you don't stop this, then I am going to the meeting by myself,” she said sternly. Upon hearing that, Babe began wailing again. She sniffled, pouted, and said, "Mommy is a bad person!"

"Don't cry, please," William said, stroking her head.

All of a sudden, they heard a car honking outside. They immediately understood that Barry and Selah had grown impatient waiting for them. Mary stomped her feet and asked, "Are you going to come now or not? I am not going to wait another minute for you!"

William did not know what to do. "How about you go there first and I will come join you later?” he asked.

With a heavy sigh, Mary rubbed her forehead and said with disappaintment, "You're unbelievable, William!" Shaking her head, she walked out of the house.

Just outside the villa was Barry and Selah's car. Elissa and Alick sat in the back, happily playing with Ray.

"What's taking them so long?" Selah asked, feeling bored

"They must have been stuck. I think Babe is pestering William to stay with her.” Barry replied

Covering her mouth, Selah giggled. "You're probably right! William loves her too much. He won't leave her side for even a second.”

Barry leaned closer to her and said in a low voice, "If I had a daughter, I would also spoil her. When are you going to give me a daughter?” Selah immediately blushed. She then punched him on the shoulder and said, "Stop kidding!"

"I was very serious about it. No jokes, I promise! We have two sons, but no daughters. We need to work on having a daughter once we get home tonight.” he said, leaning on her shoulder.

Selah felt shy and bit her lip awkwardly. Although they had been married for a few years now, she still couldn't help but blush whenever he mentioned anything intimate.

"Look, Mommy is here!" Elissa said all of a sudden. She spotted Mary walking towards the car angrily from a distance. Mary opened the car door and got into the back seat. "Let's go," she said angrily.

"Where is William?" Selah asked with a smile.

"His precious little daughter doesn't want himeto go, so he said he will come later. It's a good thing that'you guys ¢ don't have a daughter. They always throw tantrums!" "Aré you serious?” Selah asked, Content bélongs ~

"Trust me, I am not kidding! Just go, don't wait up for him," Mary said in a serious tone.

"Why aren't we waiting for Dad?" Elissa asked

“Your dad is just too busy pampering your sister, honey, " Mary replied, kissing her on the cheek.

"He always loves Babe more than us, I don't like him anymore!" Elissa grumbled.

"Elissa! He is good to us, too. Even Ray likes you the most. Only me and Mom are left out," Alick said with a smile. Ray grinned, making him look even more handsome than usual. "I will always choose you over anyone, Elissa! II Mary laughed and said, “Aww! That's so sweet, I could literally die!"

Barry exchanged a glance with Selah before he started the car.

When they finally arrived at the school campus, they saw that many of the parents were already there.

"Take the kids and wait for us at the playground, Selah. We will call you when it's done, okay?” Barry said. kissing her on the forehead. "William is not here yet. How about I take his place and represent Elissa?” she asked with a smile.

Glancing at Barry, Mary exclaimed, "A celebrity coming to a parent-teacher meeting is going to attract a lot of unwanted attention, Selah. Especially from all those men.”

"Just take the kids and go to the playground, Selah," Barry said hastily. All of a sudden, Mary smiled and said, "I have to go now! II

Holding Selah's hand, Barry said in a gentle voice, "I want you to take care of the kids... But most importantly, I want you to take care of yourself until I come back, okay?"

"Fine," Selah replied, blushing.

Mary soon entered the classroom and sat down at Alick’s desk. She saw that the desk was filled with his report card, test papers. worksheets and drawings.

After going through all the papers, Mary puther hand into the storage Space wirder the desk and founda pink envelope. After glancing at the paretrts around her to makeSure no one was looking, she opened it.

In a cute and childish handwriting, it was written, "I love you, Alick. I will marry you once we grow up!"

Seeing that, Mary burst into laughter. She then rested her head on the table and giggled in secret. ‘Looks like you will grow up to be a very popular man, Alick!' she thought to herself.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Manager Lu! Are you Manager Lu?” All of a sudden, a man's voice came, pulling her back to reality.

She immediately composed herself and looked at him. He was a tall, lean man in his forties. After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered who he was. "You're Mr. Huang, right?”

"Yes, that's me!” He then pulled up a stool from one of the desks, and sat next to her. "I wasn't expecting to see you here,” he said.

"It's good to see you, Mr. Huang.” Just when Mary was about to shake his hand, he tightly grabbed her hand. “Is your child in this class as well?" he asked

"Yeah," Mary said with an awkward nod and tried to pull her hand away.

"What a coincidence” Ignoring her awkwardness,’ Mr. Huang kept moving closer to her and said, "I was fascinated by your charming =< personatity the last time I worked withyyOur company. It almost feels like:we were fated to meet again tSday, Manager Lu."
