Love Contract

Chapter 241 Apologies ( Part Two)

"You are as dumb as a nerd whenever you see a handsome man! Besides, I wasn't gone for long! I will never delay our business!" After saying that, the woman asked seriously, "How's it going anyway? Have you seen Corbett? Was it really him?"

"Yes it was." Jazlyn's face suddenly changed and she was no longer smiling. "I'm positive. As we followed Frank, we finally found that man's trace."

"Okay, let's follow him secretly. Make sure not to alert the enemy."

"Okay!" Jazlyn nodded and stepped on the accelerator. The car sped away and disappeared under the moonlight.

In Kary Villa.

Barry arrived at the villa with Mary and the two kids. As soon as he got off the car, he felt quite sad.

"This is your new home."

"Yes, it is." Mary nodded, her guilt obvious.

"It's beautiful," Barry said lightly. "Daddy Barry," Alick said, getting out of the car, then taking Barry's hand, "do you have to leave tonight?"

"Yes." Barry nodded and continued, "This is not Daddy Barry's home. I have to go back to my own home."

"But I don't want Daddy Barry to leave."

"I also want Daddy Barry to play with me." Elissa also came to Barry, and hugged him.

"Didn't Daddy Barry play with Elissa this afternoon?" Barry squatted down and touched her little head lovingly. "Alick and Elissa, tomorrow Daddy Barry will meet you again. Okay?"

"But why can't I live with Dad and Daddy Barry together?" Alick looked at Mary for help.

"And Daddy Lucas." Elissa pouted her small mouth. She looked unhappy and upset.

"It's okay to live with anyone," said Barry comfortingly. "The most important thing is that you two should be happy."

"Daddy Barry, you should be happy too."

"I will try my best to be happy." Barry smiled and finally stood up. "Go inside with Mommy. Daddy Barry will come to play with you this weekend."

"Yeah!" "Yehey!"

"Would you like to come in and have a drink at least?" said Mary with pursed lips.

"No, thanks," Barry answered as he shook his head. Going inside would only make his already painful heart even more painful!

"Well, let me see you off then."

"No, thanks." Barry shook his head again. "I know you feel guilty, but there is no need for you to be like this. I'm fine. Trust me. I'll forget you soon."

"Then," Mary forced a smile and continued, "you will find someone better than I am."

"Of course. Who am I?" Barry smiled slightly and pointed at the door. "Please go inside."

"All right." Mary nodded and walked into the villa with the two kids, who seemed to not want to be away from Barry. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Barry stood in front of the car for a long time. As he turned around to leave, he saw a beam of light in front of him. A car was approaching the villa. Barry hurriedly blocked the blinding light of the car's headlights by his hand.

Creak!

In front of Barry, the car slowly halted. The driver shut the light off, opened the door and stepped out of the car. "Barry, why are you here?" It was William who stepped out of the car. He suddenly felt like a cock preparing for fight when he saw Barry. He could not help but be on guard.

Barry placed his hand down and chuckled when he saw William carrying several children's toys. "Are you going to apologize?"

William just stared at him. He swallowed hard and his Adam's apple visibly rolled up and down. "Yes, so what?" he asked coldly.

"Nothing." Barry shook his head and said, "I just want to remind you that you shouldn't wait for things to happen before you apologize. It's pointless. Instead, think about the things that would endanger Mary and the children, and prevent them from happening. That's what you should do. If you can't do it, remember that I'm always here."

The look in William's eyes turned ice-cold. "I think you'd better mind your own business! I heard recently that you've been very close to an actress named Selah. You should seize that opportunity instead! Do not covet the wife and children of another man all day long. If you are competent enough then just have a baby yourself!

"You!" Clenching his fists, Barry shouted in anger, "Alick and Elissa are my children! When they were born, I was the first one to hug them! I accompanied them as they grew up! It was me who heard them call Mommy for the first time! So what if you are their biological father?" It had to be said that Barry's words unexpectedly stabbed William's sore spot.

William trembled because of anger. "Barry, no one in the world is more annoying than you are!"

Then he turned around and strode into the villa without arguing back.

Barry, raising his eyebrows, turned and got into the car.

'William, I will quit when you can finally treat Mary and the children well.'

In the villa, Mary tucked the two children to bed early. She wondered why William had not come back yet.

As soon as she began to wonder, she heard a knock on the bedroom door, accompanied by William's plea. "Mary, can I go in?"

"It's Dad!" Upon hearing William's voice, Elissa got up from the bed at once.

"Don't go there!" Mary stopped her angrily. "Dad? Have you forgotten how you were bullied this afternoon?"

"But it wasn't Dad who bullied me!" Elissa raised her head and defended him. Outside the door, William heard Elissa's words and it made his heart soften. 'It's always sweet to have a daughter.'

"Yes, Mommy," said Alick, "Daddy has taught the woman who bullied my sister a lesson very harshly. Please let him in. Daddy is so pitiful!"

"Yeah, I'm so pitiful!" William echoed outside the door and then he shouted, "I've brought gifts for Alick and Elissa!"

"Yeah! Gifts!" Elissa's eyes lit up and she ran to open the door for William, ignoring Mary's order. Alick followed her and happily welcomed William in as well.

The three of them immediately began to unwrap the packaging excitedly, making a mess in the bedroom.

"Humph!" Mary turned her head away from them.

"Mary." After comforting the two little children, William came close to Mary. "It's all my fault, okay? Please don't be angry anymore."

"Apologize to Elissa and Alick, not me," Mary said coldly. "You didn't do anything wrong to me."

"Mary, I'm sorry. I just felt that I had to tell you this as well." William, still looking at Mary, said reassuringly, "I promise it wouldn't happen again. You can punish me, okay? You can ask me to do anything you want, just don't be angry with me. You know I am most afraid of you when you are angry."

"Anything?" Mary turned around suddenly to face him. "Yes, anything!" William nodded firmly, as he looked into Mary's evil eyes. The sight of it made him shiver. "What... what do you want?"

"I heard that when the husband makes mistakes, the wife should punish him by making him kneel on the washboard," Mary said with a cunning smile on her face. "Or you can kneel on the remote control without switching channel. It sounds good. I want to give it a try."

"But we don't have a washboard."

"We have a remote control." As soon as she finished speaking, Mary threw the remote control from the bed.

William caught it at once. With the remote control in his hand, William pouted and protested, "Men can't easily kneel down!"

"So you don't want to be punished?" Mary asked with raised eyebrows.

"No!" William waved his hand quickly. "Mary, I will do anything for you to ease your anger, but.

"But?"

"It's just that the two kids are here," said William in a low voice. "It's so embarrassing for me if I just kneel down like this. What about my majesty of being a father? When they fall asleep, I promise I will kneel down for you." With that, he leaned closer and kissed her. Mary reached out a hand to drive his face away and said, "Then call the nanny to get the children to bed."

"Okay." William stood up and led the children to the toy room.

Mary shook her head in amusement.

When William came back, he had a food box in his hand. He grinned inscrutably and sat next to Mary. "It's for you."

"What?" Puzzled, Mary opened it. "Ice cream? Why are you giving me this? I thought you knew I didn't like cold food."

"You lied to me again!" William handed her a spoon while smiling and said, "I saw you at the Silverland Mall earlier. You were enjoying the ice cream in your hand when I greeted you, so I brought you another one."

"Silverland Mall? What?" Mary looked at William with confusion. "Do you have a fever? I didn't go there."

"That's impossible," said William firmly while shaking his head. "You also answered a phone call... Oh, right! You must have gone there to see Barry, right? Don't lie!" William said with an angry face. "No wonder you ignored me!"

"What are you talking about?" Mary patted him and said, "Why are you trying to change the subject? Could it be that you just didn't want to kneel on the remote control? Huh? Is that it?" "No. Absolutely not! I didn't mean to change the subject." William immediately grabbed the remote control and said, "I'm kneeling down, Mary. Which channel do you want to watch? Let's get everything ready first."

Mary covered her mouth and tittered upon seeing William change the channel. "Yes, that's the channel. You can kneel down now. Don't switch the channel."

"Okay." William nodded and quickly put the remote control on the carpet. Then, he bent his knees and knelt down in front of the TV. He was just doing as the old saying went, "A great man knows when to yield and when to not."

Sitting on the bed, Mary was snickering. It was rare for her to see such an obedient and submissive William. She took some pictures and captured this moment. So funny!

"Mary, look at this host." While kneeling on the remote control, William discussed the plot with Mary. "Fortunately, he is not working for my company—"

Click!

Just as he was speaking, William suddenly heard the sound of a camera shutter. He immediately turned around only to see Mary laughing and rolling on the bed while clutching her phone.

"Mary." William's eyes widened. He immediately stood up, and threw himself on top of Mary's body. He smiled and said, "Ha! I was wondering as to why you came up with such an idea. That's why you wanted me to kneel, right? Hand over your phone quickly. How dare you take

photos of me?"

"No way! Ha ha!" William tried to snatch Mary's phone from her but to no avail. Mary was

laughing so hard while dodging his attempts to seize her phone.

"You don't want to give it to me, do you?"

William pinned Mary down. As he stared at her, he said threateningly, "If you don't give your

phone to me, I will kiss you."

"You rascal!"

"Yeah, but only in front of you."
