Love Contract

Chapter 253 Electric Scooter (Part Two)

"Dad said he wanted to cook for Mommy, and he accidentally cut his finger."

"Cut your finger? Show me your wound! Let me have a look!" Mary said frantically. She felt extremely nervous and anxious if he was indeed wounded deeply.

William stretched out his left index finger to show Mary. Seeing that Mary had a nervous look on her face, he felt happy but he still pretended to be hurt. "Mary, it hurts. Hiss! What should I do?"

"Of course it hurts!" Mary looked at the horizontal wound on his finger and said distressingly, "Why did you suddenly decide to cook by yourself? Can you even cook?"

"I pissed you off so I wanted to please you," answered William in a sour tone. "Didn't Barry do this before?"

"He's different from you," said Mary, who pulled William to the living room as she took the medicine box. "He didn't usually piss me off."

William fell silent.

Mary treated William's wound gently and carefully. Her hands were so light it was like a feather touching his finger. The gentle look on her face reminded him of the past.

"Mary," said William all of a sudden as an idea popped up in his mind, "shall we go out and have fun?"

"It's so late," answered Mary without even raising her head. "I'm already tired. Where would we go anyway?"

"We can go anywhere you want. Don't worry, I won't make you tired."

"Doesn't your finger hurt?"

"It's not a big deal!"

"Didn't you cry out of pain just now?"

"Well," William said in a flattering tone. "My darling helped me bandage my wound. It doesn't hurt anymore! Darling, I'll take you out to have fun!"

"Dad, I want to go too!" Elissa approached them restlessly.

"I'll come with you too!" Alick raised his hand as if answering her teacher. "How can Dad only take Mommy out for fun?"

"I promise to take you out next time. For now, I'll only take your mommy." William pulled Mary while grinning. "Go change your clothes. I'll take you out." Mary smiled and asked, "Where are we going? It makes me little curious about it!"

"Change your clothes if you are curious then."

"Humph! Dad is unfair!" Elissa pouted and crossed her arms in protest.

"I will do the same to my wife in the future!" Alick jumped onto the sofa while smiling broadly.

"Then Victor will do the same to me in the future," Elissa said as she walked up to her brother's side.

William did not know how to react. It seemed that Victor was still the choice of Elissa.

As the kids discussed their future plans to William, Mary was dressing up in her room. After a while, she came down wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes. "Let's go. I'm ready," she said to William, who was patiently waiting for her.

William turned his head and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw her. Like a college student in the campus, she looked simple, pure, and lovely.

"Why are you staring at me? Are my clothes inappropriate for our destination?" Mary felt embarrassed. "I just feel tired after wearing high-heeled shoes all day long. Should I go change them?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"No, no, no. You look fantastic!" William stopped her right away as she was about to head back to the room. "It's just that you look so wonderful. I could not help but stare at you."

"Sweet talker!" Mary said as she started to walk out of the villa. "Hurry up. I have to go to work tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay! Wait for me!" William hurriedly went out to catch up with her.

Outside the garage, Mary was waiting for William to pick the car they were going to use. "Are you not ready yet?"

"Almost!" William answered in the garage. After a while, he "drove" a "car" out.

Mary was surprised to see that William had picked the tiny pink electric scooter for their date.

"Well?" Mary stared at the vehicle. She was stunned to see it again. "How could this be? Isn't this my electric scooter from many years ago? Why is it here?"

"Yes, it is. I brought it when we moved here." William patted on the seat proudly. "It used to be in Kylin International."

"Why do you still keep it?"

"I keep everything that has something do with you." William looked at Mary with passionate eyes. "I was also shocked when I saw this electric scooter for the first time. I didn't know you had such a 'car'. After you left, I often saw young women drive a scooter similar to this one on the streets. I imagined how you would have driven it. The thought of it made me laugh out loud. Just imagining you driving this made me feel that it must have been interesting to see it with my own eyes. But the more I laughed, the sadder I became for I had lost you."

"Stop it." Mary lowered her head as she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

"Mary, I cherish your return to me," William said seriously. "If I do something that makes you unhappy, I will try my best to make up for it. I swear I will never do it again. If you want to vent your anger, scold me, beat me, or hurt me. But I'm begging you, don't run away again. I can't live without you."

"If you do something excessive, shouldn't I run away?"

"What do you mean by something excessive?"

"What do you think?" Raising her eyebrows, Mary said half-jokingly, "Men like you always go too far with women. Isn't that right? From now on, don't have any intimate contact with other women, or else I won't forgive you!"

The corners of William's mouth twitched. "What if I did something excessive before?"

"No way!" Mary immediately looked up to him while glaring. After saying that, she was stunned and asked in confusion, "William, what did you mean by that? Have you ever gone too far with a woman before? Didn't you say it was just a show?"

"No! Of course not! I was just asking! There is no woman problem anymore. You are the only one in my life!" William switched the topic quickly. He sat on the scooter and urged Mary to ride with him.

"Mary, come on. I'll take you for a ride!"

"Can you ride it?" Mary asked suspiciously.

"Mary, are you looking down on me?" William raised his eyebrows and added, "Don't worry. We won't have a problem with this!"

"Alright." Mary shook her head with a smile and sat on the back seat. She gently wrapped her arms around William's waist and said, "I'm ready!

"Let's go!"

Sitting on a small electric scooter, William looked funny and cute. However, with his back to Mary, he frowned deeply.

'Mary, you will never know what happened between me and Andy or Beth in the past. This is the only lie I ever told you in my whole life. I'm so sorry I can't tell you the truth.'

"William, answer me, when did you meet Aisha?"

The two rode along the streets while chatting all the way. "It was in the coffee shop and the shopping mall. At that time, I—"

"What a coincidence," said Mary while laughing. "It's so amazing!"

"Yes, so please don't blame me, Mary. I never thought that there would be two Marys in the world!"

"Then you're so stupid," said Mary, while pouting. "You had met her several times, yet you still couldn't tell the difference. Look at Archer. He could tell that I'm not Aisha. Alas, if I had known it earlier, I would have asked Archer more about her."

"How can I be the same as Archer?" William defended himself angrily. "He didn't figure it out until he kissed you!"

"You almost kissed Aisha, didn't you?"

"There's huge difference between 'almost kissed' and 'kissed', okay?"

"Oh? Are you regretting that you were not able to kiss her?" Mary put her little hands on William's waist and deliberately tickled him a few times.

"Ha ha!" William could not help but laugh. "Mary, it's itchy. Stop it. Ha ha!"

"No way!"

"Ha ha!" With William's laughter, the scooter swayed left and right.

"William," Mary said seriously while biting her lips, "I want to find my father."

"Do you want to ask him about you and Aisha?"

"Yes." Mary nodded and continued, "I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who knows what happened. Why didn't my mother tell me? Why didn't Aisha grow up with me? As long as I don't know what happened, I feel uneasy."

"Then go find him," William urged her. "I'll accompany you so it will be easier for you to face him."

"Okay." Leaning her head against William's back, Mary continued, "Guess what Aisha does?"

"Didn't she say she's a reporter?"

"I don't believe her," said Mary.

"I don't know. If she doesn't tell us, she must have reasons." William's heart sank. He recalled the woman named Jazlyn addressed Aisha as her boss. Jazlyn was a mysterious woman, which made Aisha's identity even more mysterious.

"Never mind. Let's wait and see," Mary sighed as she thought about what had happened to her recently. "It still feels unreal but I think I will feel better once we get along with each other in the future." "Yep." William nodded and held the handle of the electric scooter steadily. However, the scooter stopped all of a sudden.

Click! William tried to start the engine but to no avail. Click! Click! Click! The scooter still did not move.

"What's wrong?" Mary was stunned. "Why did it stop?"

William was thinking what the problem could be. He smiled awkwardly when he figured out the cause of the problem. "Ha ha! It seems that the power is out."

"Geez." Mary did not know how to react. Suddenly, an idea popped in her mind. "I don't care. Don't expect me to come down. I'm so tired today and it was you who asked me out."

"Okay, okay. I won't let you get tired." William smiled at her and said comfortingly, "Hold my waist tightly. We can go back without electricity!

With that, he stepped on the pedals of the electric scooter and rode it like a bicycle. Mary sat behind him with a wide grin on her face. The scooter wobbled, and the trajectory formed an S-shaped route.

"Ha ha! William, go straight!"

"It's so heavy and it wouldn't listen to me."

"Ha ha!" In a high-end hotel.

Aisha was humming a song happily when she walked into the suite.

"Boss, why did you come back so late?" Jazlyn opened the door for her and added, "What did you do after the handsome guy took you away?"

"Ha ha!" Aisha laughed complacently and answered, "I won't tell you!"

"Did you do anything wrong?" Jazlyn asked while crossing her arms.

"Do you think I would be like you? Tell me what happened between you and Lucas!"

"Nothing!" Jazlyn raised her head and said, "Boss, don't ask such nonsense. Our job is not finished yet."

"Don't worry! How can I forget our business? Calm down!" Aisha sat on the sofa and asked seriously, "Do you know who took me away tonight?"

"The handsome guy?" Jazlyn thought for a while and answered, "He looks familiar."

"Archer Song."

"Archer Song? Seriously?!" Jazlyn was stunned and asked again, "Is he really Archer Song? Right! It is him! I remember now!"

"Yes." Aisha nodded. "I should have remembered earlier! Last time I read the gossip about him and Frank Liang on the newspaper!" Jazlyn patted her thigh and asked, "Boss, did you approach him because of Frank Liang? So that you can catch Corbett in the process? Are you going to take advantage of him? That's awesome!"

Aisha frowned but she neither agreed nor disagreed.
