Love Contract

Chapter 184 Her Cooking ( Part One)

"Has Mary been living with Barry all the time?" William grabbed Lucas by the arm.

"Yes, she has." Lucas nodded as it was indeed obvious.

William clenched his fists and grumbled, "Living together? This is illegal cohabitation!"

"Hey, hey." Lucas patted him on the back. "They didn't steal nor rob anyone. They're together and live in an upright manner. How are they illegally cohabiting?"

"But..." Clenching his teeth, William thought, 'Have they already... Do they sleep together? Do they?'

Looking at Mary's slim figure in the kitchen, William started to hyperventilate. He was going crazy seeing her kissing other men. If she really did sleep with Barry...

No! He didn't even want to think about it! He might murder Barry!

"Daddy Lan," Elissa chimed cheerfully as she held William's hand. "This is a gift from Daddy Barry! There are a lot more toys upstairs. Can you go with me?" Looking at the doll in Elissa's hand, William thought to himself, 'I will buy these dolls for my daughter as well..."

Elissa dragged William to the room on the second floor. As soon as she opened the door, he saw two small beds.

Alick was reading a book on his bed. He glanced at William indifferently and put his eyes back on the book.

"Alick, why didn't you say hello to Daddy Lan?" Elissa lectured her brother. "Mommy doesn't like impolite kids."

"He is not my daddy." Alick snorted angrily in a low voice.

"Alick..." William stood in the doorway awkwardly. His eyes closed for a moment, feeling disappointed that his own son didn't like him.

"Daddy Lan, this is my bed!" Elissa pointed at a pink princess bed.

"It's very pretty!" Stroking her hair, William suddenly asked, "Do you and Alick sleep here at night?"

"Sometimes we take naps here." Elissa smiled sweetly. "We usually sleep with Mommy at night. Mommy's bed is big. Alick and I can sleep next to Mommy."

"So..." William asked carefully, "Does Daddy Barry sleep with you?"

"Yes, he does." Elissa nodded.

Boom!

William stumbled for a bit. His eyes widened in shock. He then asked in a trembling voice, "Barry Gu sleeps with your mommy? In the same bed?"

"Daddy Barry doesn't sleep with Mommy." Elissa shook her head. "But he'll sleep with Elissa and Alick!"

As William heard the little girl's words, his emotions were like a roller coaster, going up and down.

"He doesn't sleep with your mommy? Really?" William's eyes lit up. The smile on the corners of his mouth widened, shining like the sunshine from August.

"No, he doesn't."

"Okay, okay. Good girl..." Holding Elissa's pink and chubby cheeks, William kissed her violently.

Alick tilted his head. He didn't understand why William suddenly became so happy. Elissa was even more confused...

At the dinner table, William didn't seem to fit in. Even Mary was a bit embarrassed to eat dinner with him. "I made cola chicken wings and spare rib soup." Mary waved her hand over the dishes. "The rest of the meal were cooked by Hester."

"You only cooked two dishes?" Lucas mumbled, "There are a lot of people. Why didn't you cook more food?"

"The table is filled with food. Can't you see it?" Mary rolled her eyes at him.

"I came here for the dishes made by you..." Lucas murmured. He suddenly brought out his chopsticks and quickly picked up a few chicken wings and placed them in his bowl.

"Hey!" Barry frowned and picked up some chicken wings for Alick and Elissa.

The table was suddenly like a battlefield. Nothing left on the plate soon.

William was stunned. He was seated far away from the chicken wings that Mary cooked. As soon as he picked his chopsticks, he saw that the plate was empty. His face darkened.

Mary's jaw opened. She looked around at the people who were filling their mouths with food. "Thank you for your support."

William raised his head and stared at her, as if blaming her for the empty plate. The resentment in his eyes was obvious.

Mary turned her head and pretended not to notice his glaring eyes. "I want to give Daddy Lan a chicken wing!"

Sitting opposite to William, Elissa suddenly picked up her chicken wing with the chopsticks. She then bent over the table and placed it on William's plate.

"Daddy Lan didn't get a chicken wing..." Elissa said seriously. "The chicken wings Mommy cooked are delicious..."

It was said that a daughter's first love was her father. It was the first time that William had such a deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence. He was almost moved to tears.

All others at the table were silent. Except for Elissa, no one looked happy.

"Daddy Lan, have a taste!"

"Okay." William nodded, picked up the chicken wing and took a bite.

It turned out that this was the food cooked by Mary. It was indeed a few levels higher than the potatoes four years ago. How happy would he be if he could stay by her side and eat the food she cooked every day!

"Is it delicious?" Elissa looked up at William eagerly.

"Yes. Very delicious." William nodded and glanced at Mary. He smiled gently as he looked at her. "It's more delicious than the shredded potatoes you cooked before." "You..." Mary was about to say something, but was interrupted by Barry.

"Mary couldn't cook before," Barry said as his eyes grew watery. "The only time she cooked was because she wanted to take care of me when I was sick. She almost burnt down the whole kitchen. If it hadn't been for the two little ones, I wouldn't have let her cook. I can cook for my family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Barry held Mary's hand. Although he looked calm, he exerted much force when he took hold of her hand. Even though she tried to shake his hand off a few times,

she could do nothing.

A gust of anger rose in William's heart. Looking at their tightly clenched hands, he almost overturned the table.

"Elissa, Daddy Lucas doesn't have a chicken wing. Why didn't you give one to me? Only for him?"

Seeing the smell of battlefield smoke on the table, Lucas asked slowly to interrupt them.

"Because Daddy Lan is so handsome!" With her eyes narrowed into slits, Elissa looked so adorable.

"Isn't Daddy Barry good-looking?" Barry sighed slightly.

"What about Daddy Lucas?" Lucas said bitterly. "You used to like Daddy Lucas the most! You said I was the best-looking!"

"You are all very handsome." Elissa's cheeks flustered in embarrassment. "But Daddy Lan is the best-looking!"

"What a good girl!" William grinned from ear to ear.

"Stupid!" Alick frowned. He then turned his head to Mary. "Mommy, I want to have sparerib soup.

"Pass me your bowl."

"Mommy, do you also think Daddy Lan is good-looking?" Elissa tilted her head.

Mary didn't expect Elissa's question. She paused as she held the bowl. When she looked up, she happened to meet William's eyes with the same expectation.

"Elissa, finish your food. Don't talk!" Mary immediately turned her head away.

"Mommy is so bad-tempered," Elissa complained as she pouted. "I think Daddy Lan's eyes are very beautiful. They are blue, just like my brother's. But why are my eyes not blue?"

After her words, the atmosphere at the table grew tense.

"Really?" William raised his eyebrow. "Are my eyes blue?" "Yes, they are!" Elissa nodded her head vigorously.

Mary frowned. 'Does Elissa have color blindness? How come? William's and Alick's eyes aren't blue.' NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"My eyes are black, not blue." Alick glanced at Barry. "My eyes are the same as Daddy Barry's."

"That's my boy!" Barry pinched Alick's cheek and was moved inexplicably.

William looked at Alick and shook his head slightly. The stubborn boy was not as easy to deal with, unlike his daughter!
