Chapter 311 Entering The Civil Affairs Bureau For The Third Time (Part One)
They lived a leisurely and comfortable life during the recovery, which was inconceivable. William did not need to worry about the business in AJ Group or in the USA. He really enjoyed this kind of life very much.
Frankly, Mary's belly was fine, but William insisted on not letting her leave the hospital. He wanted her to stay with him all the time. Whenever she refuted him, he would lie on the bed, groaning and yammering. Then, he would complain about having either a headache or a gunshot pain. He did not want to listen to anyone at all.
Mary finally understood where Elissa inherited her cheekiness. No doubt it was from her father. From time to time, she would touch her round belly and say to the baby, 'Please follow my good traits!"
After half a month, the weather got colder every day. Within those days, William had fully recovered.
The most awaited day had come. Finally, it was time for William and Mary to leave the hospital. All the people who could make it came to celebrate for them. After putting on the suit that he had not worn for a long time, William gazed at himself in front of the mirror for a long time, careful not to miss any details.
"Mary, come here." All of a sudden, he called Mary, who was packing things beside the bed.
"Yes?" She straightened up right away.
"Come and help me tidy up my clothes," said William in a spoiled manner. "Check if my tie is crooked, could you?"
Mary shook her head with a smile. She walked towards him with her big belly, and tidied his collar with her slender fingers. "William, you look very handsome today. Your collar is not crooked, and
your tie is well-matched. Why did you choose a red tie today, by the way?"
"For celebration, of course!" With a satisfied smile, William lowered his head and kissed on her cheek all of a sudden. Then, he picked up the bag beside him and handed it to Mary. "It's for you."
"What's this?" asked Mary with raised eyebrows.
"I bought you some clothes!" With an excited smile on his face, William pushed Mary to sit on the edge of the bed. "Come on! Put it on. You must look gorgeous in it! Today is a big day for us."
"Yes, we have been discharged from the hospital, " said Mary with a smile. "Everyone is waiting for us outside. Let's hurry up. I can put this on tomorrow."
"No! Please, put it on now! I'm sure they can wait," William urged. "This is my gift for you. If you don't put it on... I will do it for you myself!" He suddenly threw himself at Mary, but also making sure that her belly was safe at the same time.
"Aw!" Mary screamed. "All right, all right. I'll put it on. Just stop, okay! Stop it!"
Hearing that, William shrugged. Reluctant to take his hands back, he said, "Okay, I'll let you put it on by yourself then. Be careful on your belly. I'll pack up first. Call me if you can't do it alone."
"Fine. Just go ahead." Mary took out the clothes from the bag. To her surprise, it was a red maternity dress. Although the belly part was a bit oversized for her, the upper part of the dress was still exquisite. It looked very classy and expensive, as observed with the delicate sewing. Judging from the quality and workmanship, it was surely a tailored dress. 'Since when did William become so considerate?' she wondered.
She had put on the dress, while William was waiting outside. William's eyes lit up when he saw her coming out.
"You are still so beautiful." He walked towards her and offered his arm. "You look really great!" he said with a look of admiration.
"Humph! Sweet talker!" Mary shook her head in disagreement, but she was laughing. She had been pregnant for almost six months, and her belly continued to get bigger every day. How could he still give her such a compliment?
"I'm telling the truth." William smiled and suddenly raised his hand to touch her scrunchie and added, "But you would look more beautiful if your hair is scattered."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled down her scrunchie and Mary's black, shiny, and beautiful hair fell down her shoulders.
"Ah!" exclaimed Mary in a low voice. "Why did you do that? It's troublesome if my hair is scattered! Give it back to me!"
Hiding the scrunchie behind his back, William shook his head stubbornly. "Endure it just for today, Mary. Please? I want to let the people outside see my beautiful Mary. You are such a beautiful mother!"
Before Mary could say anything,
Ray rushed to them with Elissa, followed by Alick.
"Dad and Mommy, you are so slow!" Elissa threw herself to Mary and asked, "Haven't you finished yet?"
"Right, Mommy!" Alick chimed in. "Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for you anxiously!"
"Okay, okay. We'll go out now!" Kids did not understand the adults' world at all. Thinking of that, William smiled helplessly and said, "Dad and Mommy were just enjoying the romance world of a
couple alone. Don't push us!"
"But Mommy is pregnant with a little baby! You are not alone!" Alick shook his head.
Mary smiled and replied, "Well, let's go out."
The three kids hopped out of the building.
"You finally came out." Victor leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed. Seeing that William came out while holding Mary's hand, he straightened up and walked towards them.
"Have you packed up your things?" Barry asked.
"Yes, we have." Mary nodded. When she saw Timothy and Amy coming over, she nodded to greet them, "Father! Aunt Amy!"
"Hello, Mary." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Mary is so beautiful today." Aunt Amy complimented her with a smile. "You look so nice! I'm so happy!"
"Hi, Mary! I'll take Elissa and Alick to Barry's villa!" Selah smiled at her reassuringly and added, "I'll take care of them."
Mary was stunned by her words. "I have nothing to do today. I can take them with me. Besides, you just came back from the shooting. They're so noisy, can you handle it?" "But, aren't you going to..." Selah was about to say something, but was stopped by Barry right away.
William raised his eyebrows and said to Selah with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of Alick and Elissa. Today is a big day for me and Mary.
"What big day?" Mary froze and looked at the people around her who were smiling at her meaningfully.
"Mr. Lan, here are all the documents you need." At this time, Virgil came over and gave a file bag to William.
"Brilliant! Thanks." William nodded and took it. Before Mary could react. He then pulled her forward. While walking, William whispered, "I'll take you somewhere else today."
"Where are we going?"
"To the Civil Affairs Bureau."
At the door of the hospital, the group of people watched the two walk away slowly.
Amy gleefully clasped her hands together and said, "I've checked today's date at the calendar. Today is a good day. They can leave the hospital and get their marriage certificate. It's a win-win situation."
"Well, it's finally time for them to settle down." With a smile, Timothy nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that William is too excited that he wants to rush towards the bureau." A smile played at the corners of Victor's mouth. Since William had been discharged from the hospital, Victor could finally give the position of CEO of AJ Group back to him and take a break.
"Boss has changed so much!" Virgil heaved a sigh while shaking his head and making a clicking sound with his tongue.
"Where are Dad and Mommy going?" asked Elissa in confusion.
"They are going to get married!" Ray answered.
"Then why don't they take me with them?" Elissa pouted. "Bad Dad and bad Mommy!"
"Dad loves Mommy the most. He has already forgotten us." Alick pouted as well.
"Parents love their children very much!" Ray comforted the twins with a smile.
