Love Contract

Chapter 267 Slap On The Face (Part One)

"What are you doing? Why are you here?"

William stood frozen by the door when he saw Mary. His eyes travelled from Mary to the ebony box on the table that had been opened. Like raging storm, his eyes turned dark and gloomy. His thoughts about making apologies were instantly replaced by anger.

He strode into the study and looked at the letter in Mary's hand. "I said, what are you doing here? Why are you here?" he repeated but with more intensity.

Mary raised her head, revealing two lines of tears on her face. Her hands trembled as she held the photos and letters. With voice quivering, she asked, "What are these?"

"Did you read them?" William frowned.

"Yes, I did." Mary nodded. She felt hurt and betrayed, but a sliver of hope remained in her heart. If only William had explained to her... How could she be angry with a person who was no longer alive?

"Mary Lu!" William roared. "When did you become like this? What did you do? Who gave you the permission to rummage my belongings? Huh? Give them back to me!" "Your belongings! Ha ha!" Mary laughed sardonically, but her tears fell relentlessly. "To you, I'm just an outsider! I'm someone else!"

Mary cried out all the grievances and doubts in her heart. "Sansa Liang is the person you like, isn't she? Even if she's been dead for so long, you still couldn't forget her. She is the beloved one in your heart. Even now, you still love her endlessly. Is it not true? Tell me!"

"You're right! She has always been in my heart!" William fumed. His eyes were blaring red like blood orbs, and he continued, "Don't touch her things! Give me back the letters!"

"Letters... Give this back to you? Here you go!" Looking at his nervous face, Mary raised the corners of her mouth coldly and threw the letters into the air.

Letters and photos scattered on the floor like snowflakes. Mary stared at William as she laughed complacently and pathetically.

Slap!

William was so furious he unconsciously slapped Mary on the face.

It happened so sudden that Mary had no time to react. She just felt a sudden ringing sensation from her hearing aid that radiated to her head. She felt a splitting headache, so painful that it almost drowned out the pain in her heart.

William's ferocious expression, terrifying anger, and painful slap brought Mary back to the past. History repeated itself after four years.

Mary's eyes were blurred by tears, but she still looked at the man in front of her stubbornly.

"Fuck off! Don't let me see you again!" William roared while looking at the mess in front of him. His hands trembled with anger and fury.

"Okay! Good! I'll get out!" Mary took a step back and said, "William Lan, we're done!" With that, she turned around and walked out.

William was so engrossed in the scattered letters and pictures that he did not hear Mary's final words. He squatted down nervously and picked up the scattered objects on the floor one by one.

Mary stopped by the door and looked back before leaving. She saw that William was carrying the box full of care. His back was to her and he did not seem to have noticed her leaving at all.

Was this his so-called love for her? How blind was she?!

Gritting her teeth, she rushed out from the villa.

"Madam, where are you going? Madam!" The nanny saw Mary frantically running while crying. She hurried to catch up with her, but stopped when she saw Mary wave her hand in dismissal.

"Ah!" The nanny rested her hand on her leg, unable to keep up. She figured it would be best if she just told William what had happened. In the study, she saw William standing beside the desk. She said anxiously, "Mr. Lan, something is wrong! Madam..."

Bang!

William grabbed the nearest object in his hand and threw it behind without looking. The cup shattered in million pieces with a loud sound. "Madam? What madam? Get out!"

The nanny felt frightened at his sudden outburst so she stopped talking and left at once.

"Sansa..." William stretched out his hand to touch the markings on the box. "It's my fault," he murmured to himself.

Outside the villa, Mary was out of breath from crying and walking. Despite wearing slippers, she walked forward, not stopping even once.

At the moment, it did not matter where she would go. She just had to escape and go somewhere William would not reach her.

Everything hurt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell. She did not want to see him again, not even in a million years.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She did not notice how far she had gone, nor how long she walked. She just kept going until the darkness fell and neon lights flashed in front of her. A gust of cold wind blew and Mary rubbed her arms to keep herself warm. Although tears were still rolling down her face, she could not cry anymore.

She searched her phone in her clothes, only to find that she had forgotten it at the villa. Fortunately, she was able to find some money in her pocket.

Aisha...

Biting her lips, Mary called for a taxi.

"Where are you going, Miss?"

"Go..." When Mary was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that Aisha had just gone to Japan for a mission and had not been back yet.

"Where?" the driver asked again.

"Go to the GM Building, please."

"Okay!"

In Kary Villa.

Sitting in the study with the box in his arms, William fell asleep.

Squeak!

A big truck rushed out of nowhere. As it sped over, William's body froze and he was unable to move.

"William!" Sansa's voice was close to his ear. She pushed him away, but she had no time to dodge the incoming truck.

"Sansa!" When William came to his senses, it was too late. Sansa's bloody body was now lying on the ground. He rushed to her while trembling and held her gently.

''William...''

William held her hand and looked at her face. To his surprise, the dying woman was not Sansa. It was Mary.

''Mary... Mary!''

With a scream, William jolted awake. When he opened his eyes, he was still holding the box. Cold sweat broke out on his body.

It turned out to be just a dream. Fortunately, it was just a dream!

Mary? 'Where is Mary?'

William's heart raced. He quickly sat up from the chair and walked out of the study while shouting her name. "Mary! Mary?"

"Sir?" The nanny heard his shouts so she came to meet him by the stairs at the first floor.

"Where is Mary?" asked William.

"She... she ran out and hasn't come back yet!" the nanny answered indignantly. "Ran out? She hasn't come back yet? Where did she go?" William glared at her. "Is there anyone following her?"

"No, there isn't."

"Damn it!" cursed William. He patted his pockets one by one as he searched for his phone.
