Love Contract

Chapter 156 Long Time No See (Part One)

"Ha ha!"

"Shh!" Alick put his index finger on his lips and whispered to Elissa, "Stop laughing!"

Mary seemed to have heard the noise so she pushed Barry away. When she turned around, she saw her two kids by the doorway with a cunning look on their faces.

Barry followed her gaze. Embarrassed, he asked, "Why are you two here?"

"Daddy Barry, you were kissing Mommy just now! " Hiding behind her brother, Elissa covered her mouth and giggled.

Mary was speechless. She just blushed and could not say a word.

"Daddy loves Mommy, so he kissed her!" Barry regained his composure, hurried forward, and picked up the two little kids. "It's time for you to go to bed!"

"Will Daddy and Mommy sleep with us?" asked Elissa.

"Well..." Barry looked at Mary and said, "Ask your mommy. If she says yes, then that's fine." "Mommy..."

"Mommy, is that okay?"

"No way!" Mary stood with arms akimbo. It seemed that she was embarrassed but she was trying to hide it. "You two, Daddy Barry just came back today. You shouldn't pester him."

"Okay..."

"Okay..."

The two kids pouted regretfully.

"I have no choice," said Barry while shrugging. "I'll accompany you another day, okay?"

"Okay," responded Alick with a nod. "Daddy Barry, have a good rest!"

"Daddy Barry, have a good rest!"

"Don't copy me!"

"I didn't!"

The bedroom was full of warmth unlike Lucas who felt desolate. He was leaning against the wall of the hall with his hands in his pockets. He was silent and seemed to be in a deep thought.

'In this silent battle, Lucas, do you have any chance of winning?'

Early the next morning, Mary made breakfast for the five of them. "Morning!" Barry went downstairs and felt cozy when he saw Mary with her hair tied up casually while making breakfast. This was how he imagined his life would be, a loving wife and two lovely children.

"Sit down and eat!" Mary turned around with a warm smile and handed Barry his food. "Let's go to the company together after breakfast," she said.

"Sure."

"Good morning, Daddy!"

"Good morning, Daddy Barry!"

"Good boy! Good girl!" said Barry as he kissed the two kids on the forehead.

"Ah..." All of a sudden, Lucas's yawn was heard as he went downstairs. "It smells good!" said Lucas while scratching his head.

"Of course!" While looking at him, Mary said playfully, "Since you got up late, hurry up and have breakfast!"

"Okay." Lucas nodded and walked to Mary's side. "Can I have a morning kiss, please," he said in a jesting manner.

All of a sudden, Mary picked up a piece of sausage and stuffed it into Lucas's mouth. "Just eat your food."

Lucas said nothing. He just munched on the sausage in his mouth. Shrugging his shoulders, Lucas turned around and sat at the table. "Good morning, two babies," he said with food in his mouth.

"Good morning, Daddy Lucas!"

"Good morning, Daddy Lucas!"

"Good kids!"

Mary sat down with a smile and ate breakfast with them.

"Mommy! I want to eat more fried eggs," Elissa said. With a greasy mouth, Elissa waved her arm.

"You will get fat!" Alick said and took a sip of milk.

"Alick is right," nodded Mary. "You should not eat too much. It's enough."

"Humph!" Elissa pouted and turned to Lucas for help. "Daddy Lucas, I still want to eat."

"Oh, my dear baby! I'll give you Daddy's food. Don't be sad." Lucas took his fork and was about to give Elissa a piece of egg when he heard Mary's voice.

"Lucas!" Mary looked at Lucas with raised eyebrows. She glared at him and at the fried egg he just forked with warning in her eyes.

"Well..." Lucas put the fried egg into his mouth quickly. He turned to Elissa with apologetic look and said, "Elissa, I can't help you. Listen to your Mommy. Don't eat too much, okay?"

"Humph!" Pouting, Elissa watched them eat.

"By the way," Lucas cleared his throat and continued, "I'm going to an academic seminar in another city, which will last for a few days."

"You should have already left!" Barry wiped his mouth elegantly while raising his eyebrows.

"How long will it take? Is it far?" asked Mary who had just put her knife and fork on the table. "Do you need to prepare something?"

"You still care about me," said Lucas in a joking way. "It's not that far. In fact, it's just like travelling."

"When will you come back?"

"I'm not sure when but I'm certain I'll be able to attend the welcome party of your company."

"What are you going to do at our company's banquet?" Barry said impolitely.

"Come back and dance with Mary!" Lucas raised his head and said mischievously, "Barry, don't always think about yourself, okay? You have to share too!"

"I think you'd better not come back!" said Barry while rolling his eyes at him. "Humph!"

At the AJ Building.

Sitting in the office, William looked at the subpoena angrily. He was so furious that he threw it all across his office at once.

How could Mary find a lawyer to sue and divorce him!

"Damn it!" Frowning, William cursed fiercely.

Did he lose her? He was not able to catch up with Mary four years ago. Were they destined to be separated after seeing each other four years later?

No way.

A resolute look appeared on William's face. He had been thinking about her for four years, missing her for four years, and looking for her for four years. It was not easy to see her and when he did, he just could not give up easily.

'Barry, right? Ex-boyfriend? Don't ever try to take Mary away from me. I am her real and legitimate husband!'

William picked up his phone on the table and dialed a number. "Hello? Lawyer Chen, right? Right... About the divorce... Okay. Come here as soon as possible... Okay, bye."

In the senior meeting room of the GM Universing Studios. Standing in front of the round table wearing a handsome suit, Barry held a meeting with the senior executives of the whole company.

"First of all, I'm glad to work with you. There are many familiar faces here..."

"As for the future development of our company, I think we should create a creative system. Whether it is in the film or TV industry, we should become the top domestic..."

Mary sat on his left and watched him seriously.

"I will succeed in the future. Trust me, Mary. I will stand on the top of the world and create a bright future with you."

Mary recalled Barry telling her this a long time ago. Now, his dream was finally realized. As she listened to his passionate speech, the corners of Mary's mouth rose slightly.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

There was a round of applause in the meeting room. Barry nodded at them with a dignified smile. He looked at Mary and smiled even more. His eyes were gentle and knowing.

After the meeting, the two walked out of the meeting room with a smile.

"Just now in the meeting room, I saw you staring at me blankly." Barry smiled teasingly. "Am I so handsome?" "Don't flatter yourself!" Mary shook her head. "I thought it was a meeting!"

"I was serious back then but watching you, I found your gaze was not only serious but also very passionate! It was difficult for me to ignore it."

Mary was moved but did not say anything else.

"Mary!" All of a sudden, Mary and Barry saw Victor coming from the other end of the corridor while they were talking.

"Victor!" Mary waved at him. "You're so early!"

"Yes." Victor walked up to the two, looked at Barry and nodded. "Mr. Gu, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Me too." Barry stretched out his hand and greeted Victor. "It's nice to finally meet you, Victor."

Victor accepted his hand and they shook hands symbolically.

"Then, Victor, let's talk about the movie," said Mary. "Barry, you can go ahead with your work!"

"Well," said Barry, as his face turned gloomy and dark, "do you want to get rid of me?"

"Mr. Gu!" Mary looked at him with smile. "Don't you have anything to do now? Let's go back to work, okay? But, what do you mean 'get rid of you'? You are the CEO. Everyone in the company is looking at you!"

"Fine. Call me if you need anything." Touching his nose, he nodded at Victor then turned around and left. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Go ahead!" Mary waved her hand behind him.

"You two..." Victor looked at Mary and Barry, and remarked, "You are very close!"

"We have always been like this." Mary laughed casually. "After all, we have known each other for so many years."
