Love Contract

Chapter 286 All Kidnapped

"What's wrong with you, Barry?" In the dressing room, wearing a heavy and elegant wedding dress, Mary stood up abruptly. Seeing the wound on Barry's face and hearing his words, she felt a little uneasy.

"Mary, you are the most beautiful woman in the world today." Without answering her question, Barry stared blankly at her. With his broad hand, he caressed her face and said sadly as if in a trance, "Mary, we are going to get married today, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are." She nodded and asked again, "What's wrong with you, Barry?"

"I..." He swallowed hard before speaking. "I don't know where to start."

"Then let's talk about it after the ceremony." She forced a smile, but she felt more troubled.

"No, I can't!" Holding Mary's hand, Barry tried to speak, but he found himself stammering. "Mary, I... I can't lie to you!"

"Then tell me. I'm all ears."

A moment of silence hung in the air. Barry opened his mouth several times but no voice seemed to come. It took a while before he finally found his voice. "I have a six-year old son." Boom! Mary felt that his words caused a big explosion in her ears.

Wide-eyed in shock, she grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What did you say? Are you joking?"

"You didn't hear it wrong." He put on a smile, but it was worse than his cries. "I have a son."

"Why..." She clenched her fists so hard that her nails turned white. "Why didn't I know?"

"I just knew it two days ago." With a pained expression on Barry's face, he continued, "For so many years, I didn't even know that I had a son. I can't believe that he turned 6 already!"

Mary's lips quivered and her voice faltered. "He. .. Your son... Who is he? Where is he?"

"Selah's son is mine." Barry closed his eyes. "I just knew it on that rainy day. I asked someone to do an urgent paternity test in the hospital."

He did not need to finish his words. They both knew what the result was.

Dumbfounded, Mary slowly let go of him and took a step back. "You know what will happen if you tell me now."

"I know." He smiled bitterly.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around and sat on the sofa. "Based on your character, you won't abandon the child." "No, of course not." Barry clenched his fists and sighed. "I'll wait for your decision, Mary."

"I quit." Mary lowered her head before speaking again. "You know the reason why I agreed to your proposal, Barry. Even if I said yes that day, I felt guilty. I... I don't love you. It's unfair for you to marry me. You should have your own family based on love."

Barry looked at her without saying a word. The light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

"You and Selah should be together," Mary said with a smile. "I just didn't expect that your son is older than Alick and Elissa."

"I didn't expect it either." Barry laughed with self -mockery.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you." Mary turned her head away. Despite cancelling one of the biggest events in her life, she felt relieved. "Fortunately, we only invited close friends here today."

"Yes." Barry snorted. However, he agreed on what she had said. It was true anyway. "I'll cancel the wedding and make the announcement to them," he said in a dry voice.

Then, he walked out in a daze. At this moment, he knew that there was no future for him and Mary any more. After so many years, they almost got married.

Barry walked out of the door without even looking back. As long as he kept walking, he would let go of his love for Mary.

Looking at herself wearing a white wedding gown, Mary smiled to herself. Even though her wedding day had been cancelled abruptly, she did not expect that she would be so relaxed. She thought that perhaps it was time for her to walk on her own.

Outside the church, a short-haired woman wearing a hat walked forward with a little boy about six years old.

"Mom, aren't we going abroad? Why are we here?" the little boy asked.

"Ray, be a good boy," said Selah. "Mommy is here to see a friend. After that, I will take you to the airport, okay?"

"Mommy, come back soon!"

"Okay." Selah nodded. Looking around, she pointed at a parterre on her left and said, "Ray, wait for me there. I'll be back in five minutes."

"Okay." He nodded and went there obediently.

Looking at Ray's back, Selah lowered her hat and bit her lips. Before leaving, she wanted to take a last look at Barry. Even if she would see him get married, she still wanted to take the chance.

In the dressing room, Elissa leaned against the window and waited for Barry. "Why hasn't Daddy Barry come back yet?" she said impatiently. "Let's wait." Alick straightened the red tie on his suit proudly.

"Alick!" Elissa called her brother suddenly. She pointed outside the window and said, "Look! There's a handsome boy out there!"

"Elissa, be a lady. Would you?" He pouted. He looked at the boy she was pointing and snorted. "Is he as handsome as I am?"

"Alick, you are so vain!" Elissa stuck out her tongue playfully. All of a sudden, she ran towards the boy and said, "I'm going to meet him."

"Don't run away!" Frowning, Alick ran after his sister.

"Be careful, you both!" said Victor. Barry's accident made him very anxious. He was not in the mood to babysit the kids. 'Just let them go! There won't be any danger anyway,' he said to himself.

Elissa ran to the parterre and met Ray. With her eyes blinking playfully, she asked, "Hi there! What's your name?"

Hearing the voice, Ray turned around and saw a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll. He smiled at her and answered, "My name is Ray. How about you, little doll, what's your name?"

"My name is Elissa," she answered in a friendly tone as she looked at her newfound friend. "My name is Alick." Elissa's twin brother had followed her and introduced himself. "I'm Elissa's brother."

"Nice to meet you." Ray smiled at him as well.

"Hi." Alick proceeded to reply like an adult.

Since the three had befriended each other, they decided to play together.

"Okay!" Aisha was instructing the workers in the hall when Barry came out. "Move the baskets aside please... Hey! Why did you come out, Barry?"

"Aisha, the wedding is cancelled." He looked around sadly and his face was as pale as death.

"What happened? What did you just say?" Aisha asked in disbelief. Despite seeing Barry's expression, she still could not believe it. "Come on! Your joke is not funny at all! Today is not April Fool's Day!"

"I'm not kidding," Barry said seriously and handed the morning newspaper to Aisha.

She took the newspaper and scanned it. From shock, her expression changed to anger. She hit Barry's face with the newspaper and cursed, "Men are trash! Barry Gu, you disappointed me!"

"I am not trash!" said Archer with a smile. He came out of nowhere and stood beside Aisha happily. "You! Humph!" Aisha glared at him and said, "You are the same!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and left. As she walked, she shouted, "I want to see my sister. Don't follow me! Barry Gu! You are the same fucking type of person as William!"

"Achoo!"

From the hospital, William was on the way to the church when he suddenly sneezed. He shook his head and shouted at the driver, "Hurry up! Is this your best?! Speed up!"

"Yes, sir!" The driver nodded.

"Mr. Lan! Mr. Lan!" Virgil was holding his phone when he came across the news. He raised his phone to William's face and shouted, "Look!"

"What?" Hearing that, William frowned and looked at the screen. As soon as he saw what Virgil was trying to show him, his eyes almost popped out. He snatched the phone and saw the big news about Barry. "When did this news come?" he asked quickly.

"Just now," replied Virgil.

"Barry Gu..." murmured William. According to the news, Barry had an 'illegitimate child'. All of a sudden, a smile appeared on William's face and he laughed. "Ha ha!"

'Has Mr. Lan gone crazy because of too much sadness?' In a daze, Virgil looked at William dully and asked, "Mr. Lan, are you okay?"

"I wasn't expecting this. Ha ha!" William clutched the phone tight with his hand and urged the driver again. "Faster! Mary should not marry him!"

"Maybe Mary didn't see the news."

As soon as Virgil had finished his words, William shot him a cold glance. "Do you want to be thrown out of the car?"

"Well..." With that, Virgil shut up immediately.

Squeak!

After twenty minutes, William arrived at the church. A dozen bodyguards accompanied him, all armed.

He strode out of the car elegantly. Looking at this small and inconspicuous church, he wanted to burn it up!

It was said on the newspaper that this was the wedding place where Mary and Barry had agreed to get married when they were in college. Bullshit!

"Why is it so quiet?" Virgil got out of the car and looked at the empty church door.

Without saying a word, William rushed over and kicked the ajar gate of the church. "Mary! Mary!" "You! Who are you?" The staff of the church was clearing up the site when William entered, followed by a group of men who looked ready to ruin the place. Seeing that the inside of the church was empty, they were all stunned.

"Isn't there a wedding ceremony here?" asked William anxiously while looking around.

"It's over!"

"It's over? No!" Hearing that, William felt dizzy. Was he too late? No! Mary!

"Find her." He felt his blood reach his throat and his eyes turned a shade red. "Find her!" he bellowed.

"Yes, sir!"

When the bodyguards were about to step forward, they saw several people coming over from the opposite side, all of whom looked flustered and anxious.

"William? You!" Aisha rushed to him and asked, "Where is my sister? Where did you take her?"

"What?" Hearing that, William was stunned. "Isn't Mary here?" He turned around and saw Barry. The anger in his heart rose again. He rushed over and grabbed Barry's collar. "Barry Gu! Where is

Mary? Where is my Mary? Give her back to me! You want to marry her? Bastard!"

"Haven't you taken Mary away, William?" asked Victor. "I just arrived!" answered William innocently.

"Help! Help!" Jane shouted while running. "I... I saw that Alick and Elissa get taken away!"

"What? Who kidnapped them?" William almost lost his balance.

"They were taken away by a man with a scar on his face," Jane said breathlessly from anguish. "I saw it from the parterre and... there was another little boy! I couldn't catch up with them!"

Jazlyn angrily turned to Barry and said, "Barry Gu? Are you sure today is a good day? Look what happened!"

"Is Mary also taken away? By the same person?" Lucas asked.

"Aisha, haven't you taken care of the security of the church?" asked Archer with a frown. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"No matter how powerful I am, I am still alone, okay? So many things rushed up to me all of a sudden!" Aisha glared at Barry and said, "It's all your fault!"

"Check the surveillance video!" After calming himself down, William rushed out first, and the rest followed him in a hurry.

On one of the screens in the surveillance room, Mary was still wearing the wedding dress when she was carried out forcibly. Meanwhile, Alick, Elissa, and Ray were also abducted. "Ray? It's Ray!" Barry shouted as soon as he saw what happened on the screen.

"Damn it! Who dares to be bold like this?" Victor asked with a frown.

Aisha's eyes darkened. She looked at Jazlyn and they said in unison, "Corbett!"
