Love Contract

Chapter 161 Be My Girlfriend (Part One)

"Mr. Murong, are you okay?" As soon as Jill, the assistant of Mary, arrived, she saw Lucas leaning against a tree, looking miserable.

Jill's voice pulled Mary's thoughts back. Mary rushed to Lucas's aid anxiously. "Lucas, are you okay?" she asked. She turned to her assistant and ordered, "Jill, call a doctor now!"

"Yes, Manager."

"Ahem..." With a faint smile on Lucas's bruised face, he answered, "I'm fine. I'm a doctor myself. This is nothing serious."

"Are you kidding me?" Mary helped him up and continued, "I'll take you to the room and wait for a doctor to arrive."

Standing aside, Barry said, "Mary, you accompany him while he's resting. Meanwhile, I'll go see Alick and Elissa. I'll be right back."

"Okay." Mary nodded and led Lucas to the lounge to take a rest.

Barry watched as Mary and Lucas walked away. He suddenly remembered the way Mary gazed at William a while ago. The thought of it made his heart stiffen with jealousy. "Mr. Gu..."

"Go back." With an indifferent expression on his face, Barry turned around and walked towards the lobby.

In the lobby, when Elissa and Alick saw Barry come in, they rushed over.

"Daddy Barry!" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Daddy Barry!"

"Alick and Elissa," Barry called out their names and smiled warmly. "How's it going? Are you having a good time?"

"Yep!" Elissa answered while nodding. "But where is Mommy?"

"Mommy is tired." Barry touched her hair and added, "She's now resting. She will be back soon."

"Oh, I see..." Elissa nodded. She then glanced at the entrance of the lobby. Her eyes lit up when she saw Victor. "Uncle Victor!"

"Hey, Elissa!" said Victor while smiling as he walked towards the two kids.

"Uncle Victor, hold me!" Elissa opened her arms and looked up, urging Victor to pick her up.

"Okay!" Victor bent down and picked Elissa up. "You are very beautiful tonight, Elissa!" "Do you like it, Uncle Victor?"

"Yes, I do."

"When will you marry me?"

"Puff..." Ena, who was standing alongside Victor, burst into laughter.

"Eh?" Elissa stared at Ena wide-eyed. "This lady is so pretty."

"Thank you, my little fella," replied Ena with a smile.

"Are you with Uncle Victor?" asked Elissa.

"Yes, I am."

"Then I don't like you anymore!" said Elissa angrily while pouting.

"Why not?" Ena looked stunned. Meanwhile, Victor looked helpless.

"I like Victor. You're not allowed to like him!" said Elissa, as she put her arms around Victor's neck.

"I..." Embarrassed, Ena's face flushed. "I am just... I don't like him!"

Victor raised his eyebrows and nodded. "It's indeed not appropriate for us to be together since I'm nine years older than her."

Hearing this, Ena was taken aback. She quickly lowered her head to hide her disappointment. "You can like me."

All of a sudden, Archer appeared out of nowhere. He put his arm around Ena's shoulder and smiled slyly. "What do you think?"

This group of people chatted happily.

"Daddy Barry, aren't you happy?"

Alick, who was standing next to them, suddenly asked.

Barry forced a smile. His face was so pale that even a child could notice it.

"I'm happy." Barry shook his head, pretending to be relaxed.

"Daddy Barry," said Alick calmly and innocently, "you still have Alick! My sister likes Uncle Victor, but the man that Alick loves most is Daddy Barry!

It turned out that Alick thought he was upset because of Elissa. How innocent!

"Yes, I know. Daddy also likes Alick the most!" Barry said while smiling. However, his heart was unusually bitter. If one day Alick knew who his biological father was, would Alick still like him

regardless?

While the two were talking, a woman in a ten centimeter high heels staggered over with a glass of wine in her hand.

"Ah!" All of a sudden, the woman screamed as she lost her balance and was about to fall on Alick.

"Watch out!" Barry was quick. He reflexively held the woman's waist to prevent her from falling.

Splash!

Barry was able to catch the woman. Unfortunately, the wine in the woman's hand spilled on his face and collar.

"Gosh! I'm sorry!" The woman sobered up at once and quickly straightened up to apologize.

Swoosh! Frowning, Barry flicked the liquid off his body. He was clearly unhappy.

"Mr. Gu, right?" said the drunk woman as she recognized him.

"Hmm?" Barry raised his head.

Despite wearing light makeup, the woman in front of him was beautiful. Her short hair emphasized her delicate features and she looked enchanting.

"And you are?" asked Barry while frowning. The girl looked familiar but he could not remember where he had seen her.

"Selah Shen." The woman smiled and reached out her hand. "I'm a signed artist of GM Universing Studios."

"Oh. It's you!" Barry finally remembered the woman. "But, didn't you have long hair before?"

"Oh..." Selah Shen lowered her head, trying to hide her disappointment. "I cut it for the film shooting."

"Well, do you also have a role in 'Be Together'?" Barry asked.

"Yes. I'm playing a female supporting role." With a smile, Selah Shen continued, "It's rare for me to cooperate with so many big shots."

"Keep up the good work then."

"I will!" Selah smiled and apologized again. "I'm sorry for what happened just now, Mr. Gu! How about I wash your clothes to make up for what I did?"

"No, thanks." Barry shook his hand. "Doesn't matter. I'll just change clothes. Please excuse me."

"Okay."

Barry nodded at her and said to Alick, "Daddy Barry is going to change clothes. Follow the bodyguard. Don't run around, okay?"

"Daddy Barry, can I go with you?"

"Sure." Barry nodded and took Alick out of the lobby. Meanwhile, Mary was inside a lounge behind the lobby.

The doctor carefully applied medicine to Lucas's cuts and wounds. He then left right away after telling Lucas what he should do.

"How are you feeling now?" Mary asked with concern. "Don't you really need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I know my situation." Lucas shook his head. His face and arms were bandaged.

"Why did you two fight?" Mary sat next to Lucas. She carefully fastened the loose bandage on his arm.

"It's just..." Lucas glanced at Mary and continued, "I told him that it was me who took you away four years ago."

"Oh my gosh!" cried Mary, with a guilty look on her face. "I'm so sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing? It was me who took you away." Lucas's calm voice suddenly turned into anger. "Such a man like him deserves to be beaten up."

"Didn't you get beaten up too?" Mary looked at Lucas helplessly.

Lucas did not say anything. It was true though. It seemed that he had been beaten up more miserably than the other man. "By the way," said Mary after thinking for a while, "did you tell him about my ear?"

"Yes, I did." Lucas nodded and continued, "I was so angry that the words just slipped out of my mouth. I'm sorry I was not able to ask for permission, Mary."

"It's okay." Mary shook her head. "I just don't want him to think that he owes me anything, so I didn't tell him before. It doesn't matter even if you told him."

"He still doesn't know the truth about your children. He might have thought that those children... are Barry's."

"I see." Mary nodded and felt relieved at the news.

A moment of silence fell in the room.

"Mary," Lucas said hesitantly, "I also told him something."

"What was it?" Mary raised her head and asked.

"I told him that," said Lucas, staring at Mary with undisguised love in his eyes, "I like you."

One, two, three...

Mary's eyes widened in shock. Looking at Lucas in front of her, she completely forgot to react.

With his bandaged arm, he held Mary's head gently. "Mommy..."

All of a sudden, Alick, who was led by Barry, stood at the door of the lounge. They were shocked to see Mary and Lucas sharing an intimate moment.

At a loss, Mary turned her head slightly. "Alick... Barry..."

Lucas turned around indifferently and looked at Barry without saying anything.
