Love Contract

Chapter 154 Didn't Divorce (P art One)

Mary braced herself.

Her mouth was wide open with shock. She stared at William in disbelief and said, "You... Are you kidding me?"

"No, Mary," said William, taking a step forward. "I'm not kidding. When I saw the divorce agreement four years ago, I was looking for you! I didn't sign it, Mary. Therefore, we're not divorced!"

"No. No, it's impossible!" Totally appalled by the news, Mary looked at him coldly. "I've been gone for four years!"

"Mary, I have been looking for you for four years..."

"Why didn't you just sign it?" Mary suddenly interrupted him with a complicated look in her face. "You could have left after you signed it. Why... Why did you look for me? Why... Why didn't we divorce? Why couldn't you just let me go?!"

"Because I don't..." 'I don't love Frank.'

At this point, William paused. He could not go on and say anything more. "What do you want to say?" Mary frowned.

"I...” William clenched his fists. He had promised Frank that he would not tell anyone about their break up because Frank did not want others to pity him.

Seeing that William was hesitant to tell her the truth, Mary said, "Sorry. I'm leaving now. As for the divorce, I will solve it by legal means."

She then turned around and slammed the door behind her.

"Mary!" William hurriedly chased after her but the elevator door had just closed. "Damn it!" he shouted. With his hands on his hips, he cursed fiercely and angrily kicked the chair next to him.

Mary left in a hurry, ignoring everyone's stares. She did not want to stay there any longer. As for the divorce, she was sure to go through legal measures to make it real and final.

Time passed quickly and few days had already passed.

"Boss, we found out the flight number of the CEO of the GM Universing Studios," said Virgil, as he walked into William's office with the information he had obtained. "He will arrive in A City at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"I see," William said as he took the documents. "Now leave."

"Yes, boss." Feeling a little anxious, he leaned against the back of his chair. 'Would Mary pick him up?'

At the thought of this, William could not sit still any longer. He grabbed the coat on the sofa and rushed out.

At the international airport of A City.

Mary stood still in the airport lobby, and occasionally looked at her watch. She patiently waited for the flight inbound from America.

Finally, the screen at the lobby displayed Barry's plane. It was going to land soon.

Mary could not stop smiling.

"You are smiling! Why are you so happy?" Not far behind her, a tall man wearing sunglasses held a newspaper and looked at her secretly.

The man was William and he was watching Mary secretly. Seeing the happy look on Mary's face, William clenched the newspaper in his hand tighter. He was both anxious and afraid to reveal himself.

Mary looked at the exit passageway and saw Barry at a glance.

"Mary!" Seeing her from a distance, Barry quickened his pace and ran towards her.

"Barry!" Mary waved at him excitedly.

"Mary!" Barry rushed over and held the woman who he had not seen for a long time.

"Well..." Mary was shocked by his sudden hug.

"I'm finally back!" Barry said with a smile.

After breaking up with Mary, he went to America alone and developed his career. It had been nine years since he had left and now he was back!

"Yes, welcome back." Mary came to herself and hugged him with a smile.

The two hugged each other for a moment in the airport lobby, forming a unique scenery.

William fixed his gaze at the two people hugging. At the sight of Barry, his heart filled with deep sense of unease.

The man had a resolute look on his face, but he smiled at Mary gently. Wearing a casual suit, he looked more mature and dignified than his college photos that William had previously acquired.

His brown hair was flying slightly, his nose was firm, and his lips were thin. His pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through people who were staring at Mary.

Barry, the CEO of GM Universing Studios in China, was indeed a powerful opponent. What worried William more was his another identity, Mary's ex-boyfriend. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

'Do I still have a chance to win when compared to him?

"Alright, alright." Mary patted him on the back shyly. "Let's go home first. Don't hold me anymore."

"No way!" Barry could not stop smiling. "Still not enough."

William shuffled around his chair, trying to hear Mary and Barry's conversation but to no avail. He only saw Barry smiling and hugging Mary tightly.

He had taken all advantages!

William's eyes turned red as he watched them intently. When he realized that the two were walking near him, he quickly held up the newspaper to his face.

"Hey, let go of me!" Mary whispered in embarrassment, trying to break free from Barry's hold.

"No!" Barry protested and raised his brows complacently. "I was gone for so long. Without you, I won't be able to find my way home."

Mary was speechless but she just laughed it off. She compromised and let him hold her hand.

"By the way, why are you the only one here today?"

"What? Can't I see you on my own?" Mary turned her head and asked. "Of course you can!" Barry nodded. "I like being with you alone."

Mary did not say anything. She beat him with her fist while laughing. "You like to joke!"

"Ha ha!"

"Damn it!" William cursed as he stared at Mary's and Barry's hands. He was glaring at their hands as if his eyes could shoot daggers behind the newspaper.

He must get Mary back!

William sneaked behind them and was about to catch up when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?! What is it?! You'd better have something important to tell me!" William said angrily on the phone.

"Boss, it's something important," Kevin said on the other end of the line. His voice had a tinge of embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Hearing that, William frowned and calmed down a little.

"It's about the land by the sea. The biding document is almost ready, but there are still minor details left," said Kevin in a matter-of-fact way. "We have arranged a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. But boss, where are you?"

"I..." Upon hearing the news, William was stunned. He looked at the two people walking away hand- in-hand once more. "I'll be right back, " he said, and his eyes darkened.

"Okay."

"Where are Alick and Elissa?" Barry asked when they had finally reached the car.

"It's their first day in kindergarten," said Mary with a smile. "It's not their dismissal yet."

"How about we pick them up?"

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired. I'm used to flying," Barry said while shaking his head. "Besides, I can't wait for them to go home. I have not seen them for a long time and I miss them so much!"

Looking at his side face, Mary felt as if she was in a trance.

It was really unusual for him to treat two children who were not related to him with all his heart.

'I have let him wait for so long. It's time for me to repay his love, isn't it?' But... Thinking of William, she could not help but wonder why he did not sign the divorce agreement.

"Mary? What are you thinking about?"

"What?" Startled, Mary shook her head. "Nothing, " she answered. "Really?" Obviously, Barry did not believe her.

"Really, really!" Mary nodded and said to the driver, "Robert, go to the kindergarten and pick up the children!"

"Yes, ma'am."

On the way to the kindergarten, Barry felt a little uneasy, but said nothing.

Ring! Ring!

"Children, the class is over. Everyone, line up and find your parents. See you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye, teacher!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"I'll hold your hand," Alick said to Elissa and he held her hand warmly.

"Thank you, Alick!" Elissa smiled sweetly and her brother led her out.

"Are the kids coming out?" Barry asked.

"Yes." Mary smiled. As soon as she raised her head, she saw two kids coming out. "They are coming!"

"Alick! Elissa!" Hearing this, Barry hurried out of the car and looked at the two kids with a smile.
