Love Contract

Chapter 370 Extra Story I Want Victor (Part One)

On Victor's birthday, the gifts and cards sent in from his fans were everywhere. The three kids; Alick, Elissa, and Ray, surrounded the pile of colorful presents as they crazily unwrapped them for Victor.

"Mommy, I want to be an actress too!" Elissa announced proudly. "Then I can receive a lot of gifts!"

"Elissa..." Lucas felt speechless. "What a great dream!"

"You'd better not be an actress." Ray patted Elissa's head. 'She's so cute! I want to hide her from the world forever,' Ray thought as he looked at Elissa with love.

"Why not?" Elissa responded, holding a bag of snacks tightly.

"You can stay at home. I'll raise you," Ray answered dotingly.

The adults stood aside, exchanging glances with each other.

"Hiss..." Taking a deep breath, Lucas said, "Ray knows how to make girls happy."

"That's my boy!" Barry pinched his nose jokingly and walked towards Selah, who had a swollen belly.

"Elissa is so lucky." Mary smiled warmly and said, "It seems that Ray will be my son-in-law. I like him!"

"I like him, too." With a wide smile, William patted Barry 's shoulder. "Make more money, Barry! Ray can earn it in inheritance, don't wear out my son-in-law." "You should be working harder too!" Barry chuckled and said, "Plan for Alick as well!"

"Alick is less than five years old. Isn't it too early?" Selah glared at Barry.

"He's growing up. Besides, Ray is only seven years old!"

The group of friends continued to chat happily. Later, Lucas said, "We have been talking for a long time now. Where did our hero and heroine run off to? Aren’t Ena and Victor afraid that we might empty their house?"

"I heard that Victor took Ena to prepare some gift," William raised his eyebrows as he answered.

They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Inside a speeding car, Ena grew both excited and worried. "Where are we going? I feel bad leaving our friends at home like this. Are we going to stand them up?"

"We will return right away as soon as we prepare the gift."

"What gift?" Ena blinked.

"Well..." With a slight smile, Victor straightened his tie. William and Barry had also taken their girlfriends to the Civil Affairs Bureau without their knowledge. This seemed like an excellent idea to Victor, so he decided to give it a try.

However, as soon as Ena's gaze fell on the three words "Civil Affairs Bureau", her eyes turned red.

"Why are you crying? Is this you being mad or emotional?" Victor held Ena’s hand and asked, pretending to be relaxed despite being anything but.

He had felt so excited watching William and Barry come to his place with their beloved girls. He felt jealous at how dotingly they looked at their significant others. Now it was his turn, but why did he feel like his legs were trembling?

Ena sniffed, worried about ruining her makeup for the pictures they would soon take.

"Let's go." Victor took a deep breath and pulled Ena's hand to walk out.

"Hmm... Hmm?" Ena was stunned. She grabbed his shirt when she came to a realization and called out, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"I... When did I agree to marry you?" Ena's eyes widened at once. "How can you just drag me here like this?"

"Don't you want to marry me?" Victor raised his eyebrows. Although he felt confident before, the rate of his heartbeat proved otherwise.

"Of course... I didn't..." Ena’s face flushed as she pouted. "There are no flowers or even a ring! You aren't even kneeling! How can you just bring me here like this?"

"Ena, you seem to have forgotten that you owe me a gift." Victor chuckled softly, looking endearingly at the woman.

"What?" Ena asked in a daze, "What does marriage have to do with this?"

"It does matter! Because you are my gift!" Victor pecked Ena's cheek and spoke in a sultry tone, "This is the gift you owe me. Come with me. After this, you will become my private gift."

'A private gift of Victor?'

Ena was in shock as she replayed his words in her head. She was easily convinced into going into the bureau and signing the papers, obediently following his orders like a little pet. She had become Victor's private gift! Its significance was so much greater than flowers or any ring.

She returned home in a happy mood but was scolded by several people.

"How can you be so hasty? There should at least be a ring, right?"

"Kneeling on one knee! This is the most important thing! II

"He didn't even buy you flowers. How can you give in so easily?"

Ena blinked at the harsh response, holding up two marriage certificates in defense. "We have marriage certificates! That has to count for something, right?"

"So what?" All women rolled their eyes at her naivety.

"By the way, Victor says that we should keep this a secret from the media for the time being." This information flared up everyone's emotions again.

"Keep it a secret? A secret marriage? Hey! How could he do this? This is too far!"

"Why would he come up with such a bad idea? Does he still want to mess around with other women?"

"You have to fight for your rights! He's asking for too much!"

Ena blinked again. "It doesn't matter! This is enough for us!"

"Ena, you are hopeless.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Fortune favors fools. I bet that Victor would share the news with the public in person soon, just like the last time!"

"Don’t forget! Women deserve to have their own voice!

Their own careers!" "I won't!" Ena quietly clenched her fists.

On the other hand, Victor became the source of envy amongst the men.

"How could Ena be so obedient to you?"

"He's right! Pass on some advice, Victor!"

"You convinced her without doing anything! You are awesome!"

Victor ran his hands through his short hair and smirked. "That’s because I’m so charming!"

"Fuck off!" the men replied in unison.

"But," Lucas snickered, "today is your birthday. You are now officially thirty-four years old while Ena is only twenty-four. You are an old man! Be careful not to be called a cradle-snatcher."

Victor's face darkened at the realization. Ena was indeed 10 years younger than him.

"Well, I may know the reason why Ena likes you so much," William said seriously. "Maybe she thinks of you more as a...”

"Father!" Barry blurted.

"Hahaha...”

All of them burst into laughter except Victor. He scratched his jaw while in deep thought. ’I don’t look old though! There’s no generation gap between me and Ena! Humph, these old men are really jealous!’ Victor thought with disdain.

The group of friends didn't return home until it was very late. After they left, Victor and Ena settled into their new home.

"I have some documents to deal with. Go to take a shower, I'll be right there." Victor kissed Ena's forehead.

"Okay." A thought crossed Ena’s mind. Before she could stop herself, she called out in a sing-song voice, "Uncle Victor stopped in his tracks, staring at her in surprise. "What did you just call me?"

"Uncle!" Ena didn't think there was something wrong at all. She shook Victor's arm like a child, looking up at him through her lashes. "Victor, you are ten years older than me. Of course, I will call you Uncle. Uncle! Uncle!"
