Love Contract

Chapter 123 Fall In Love With Her (Part Two)

"Okay." Lucas turned his head slightly and said, "You go eat something first."

After nodding to them, Mary turned around and left elegantly. Lucas watched her go.

The hall was as warm as spring. A waiter passed by and Mary took a glass of cocktail with a smile.

She walked slowly to the food area and looked at the variety of food. Her stomach rumbled at the sight of the delicious array of food.

Mary took a plate and tasted it one by one. She felt comfortable and at ease.

"Miss, may I invite you to dance?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.

Mary turned around immediately and swallowed the food in her mouth. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to dance."

"It doesn't matter. We can have a chat."

"Well..." Mary was a little embarrassed.

Not far away, Lucas was chatting with the president of the hospital and others. However, his eyes were fixed on Mary. At this moment, several men had passed by and accosted her which made him a little unhappy.

"Ha ha," said the president of the hospital with a smile. "Look, Lucas's eyes are almost glued to Mary!"

"Ha ha. Dr. Zhao, please don't make fun of Lucas. He must be very anxious!"

"Yes, we can talk about the hospital later. We shouldn't delay Lucas!" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

In front of the elders, Lucas's face turned red.

"Go ahead," said the president of the hospital with a smile. "Don't give the opportunity of the first dance to others!"

"Then I'll go, Uncle Zhao." As soon as Lucas finished his words, he left happily, leaving a group of people laughing.

Mary finally got rid of the men's invitation and made herself busy with the delicious food again.

"Miss, may I have the honor to invite you to dance?"

Again...

Mary put down the plate and turned around. "I'm sorry..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Lucas smiling. Surprised, she said, "Oh, it's you!" "What?" Lucas said with a smile, "Did you think I was some random man who accosted you again?"

"Humph..." With an embarrassed smile, Mary said, "You saw it. I'm a little embarrassed."

"It means you are charming."

"You're the one who bought the good clothes." Mary smiled.

While the two were chatting, the main light in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few colorful beams of light sweeping around the hall.

"Everybody! It's dancing time!" Accompanied by the dynamic dance music, the host's voice resonated in the hall.

"Oh!" "Finally!" "I've been waiting for this!"

"Yes!"

"Wow!"

The crowd burst into cheers, and everyone joined the dance.

"Ha ha!" Affected by the atmosphere, Mary smiled brightly.

Standing beside her, Lucas gazed at her with a gentle smile.

After a while, the cheerful song was replaced by the melodious sound of violins. Men and women in the hall automatically held hands and slow danced.

"Mary, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

Lucas said, bending slightly, stretching out his right hand and making a gesture of "please".

"My pleasure." With a smile, Mary offered her left hand.

Lucas held her hand and lifted it to his lips.

Before she could react, he had already pulled her in the middle of the crowd.

Lucas then put his right hand on Mary's waist gently. The two slow danced to the melodious music.

Under the dim light, Mary's pale face looked a little hazy but she was still outstanding.

Her soft breath inadvertently slapped Lucas's face, which made Lucas's body stiff.

"Don't you talk when you dance?" Mary asked with a smile.

"What?" Lucas came to his senses at once. "Ahem. No, no."

"Ha ha." Mary lowered her head and smiled.

Lucas could clearly smell her perfume and his heart pounded wildly. "You dance well," said Lucas.

"I learned a little before." Mary smiled shyly.

"Oh? Let's make a circle." Lucas raised his eyebrows and raised his arm gently.

With a smile, Mary held his hand and spun around in front of him gracefully.

The hem of her dress fluffed up even more as she turned, making Lucas momentarily dumbfounded.

The music was getting fast and faster, and so were they. They moved on the parquet floor with rhythm.

At the end of the dance, Lucas gently let go of Mary's hand, and her body spun a few circles with the music. She then returned to his side after.

They looked at each other. Lucas's eyes were full of affection and appreciation.

He just wanted to hold her like this forever.

This was the only thought in Lucas's mind now.

Crack!

Just as they were looking at each other, the music stopped and lights in the hall were turned on.

"Um..." Mary blocked the light with her hands. "Ahem." Lucas came to his senses at once and loosened his grip on her waist.

"I'm so tired," said Mary with a smile, not noticing the nervousness on Lucas's face. "I haven't danced for a long time. I'm really not used to it."

"No," said Lucas, looking at her. "You did a good job."

"Thank you."

After the party, Mary had finally relaxed. On the other hand, Lucas had mixed feelings and was absent-minded for the rest of the night.

At the end of the party, the two walked side by side to the parking lot.

Hiss... A gust of cold wind blew, and Mary hugged her arms tightly. "It's still cold in my coat."

"Here," Lucas said as he took his coat off and put it on her shoulders. "It will be my fault if you catch a cold."

"Thank you," Mary said with a smile, "Thank you for your coat and for taking me here today. I had a good time."

"I'm also very happy today." The smile on Lucas's face was unusually serious. He wished that there was no end to this road where they could just talk and walk endlessly. 'What's wrong with me?'

Lucas felt remorseful on the way to Kylin International.

"Can you go upstairs by yourself?"

"Yes." Mary nodded. 'William should have moved out already.'

"Go now then, but I won't leave until the light is on."

"No." Mary shook her head. "My apartment is on the 20th floor. How would you know?"

"You don't believe me?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.

"No." Mary waved her hand dismissively. "You don't really have to do this. It's too troublesome for you."

"Well," Lucas said with a smile, "you go ahead. I know what to do."

"Alright." Mary nodded and waved at him. She then turned around and went upstairs.

Mary disappeared in the corridor and turned on the light as soon as she got in her apartment. She looked out of the window and saw Lucas was still there.

The cool breeze was a little strong. Lucas leaned against his sports car with his legs crossed casually. His hair was a bit unruly because of the wind.

Lucas took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He lit it and took a deep drag. The red flame of the cigarette flickered in the darkness.

"Lucas, you're finished.

You've fallen in love with her!" he said to himself in his mind.

"She's your friend's wife and you can't love your friend's wife. You actually like Mary. You're a beast!" One voice in Lucas's heart was shouting, while the other was saying, "What wife? It's just a contractual relationship. William doesn't like her. You can be with her!"

The irony...

After taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Lucas looked up at the 20th floor. After seeing that the light had been turned on, he finally got into the car and drove away.

When Mary had returned home, she did not see William or Frank.

She did not know when they had left, but it was none of her business.

At the seaside villa.

William was cleaning his room upstairs. He had not come back for a long time. Since when did he get used to living in Kylin International? At the thought of this, William's hand stopped and wondered how Mary was doing.

"William! It's time for dinner!"

He heard Frank's voice downstairs.

"Oh, I'm coming." William stood still for a few seconds before he turned around and walked downstairs.

"Very soon!" Frank stood in the kitchen as he watched William come down. "Come over and eat. I made potato chicken."

'Potato... Shredded Potatoes... The only dish that Mary could cook...'

William's heart sank. Why was he thinking of Mary again?

"What's wrong?" Frank asked while looking at his sullen face.

"Oh, nothing." Shaking his head, William sat down and said, "Let's eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay."
