Love Contract

Chapter 63 Eavesdropping

"Thank you, Mary. You are really kind!" Frank made no effort to hide his joy as he grinned from ear to ear.

William carefully laid down the knife and fork, and elegantly wiped his lips with the napkin. Then he glanced at Mary. "You can go to the hotel if you want."

"William, you know I don't like going to that kind of place." Frank frowned. "Or will my presence cause trouble for Mary?"

"No, not at all." Mary waved her hand. "It's no trouble at all... William bought the house, so it's all up to him."

After she was done talking, she heard a cold snort coming from William. But when she looked over, he was wearing the usual stern expression.

On their way back, the road was already full of neon lights and car headlights.

Mary volunteered to sit in the back seat, and no one had any objections.

The two men seated in front were chatting casually. They talked about football, their careers, and they reminisced about the past. It seemed like they didn't mean it, but Mary couldn't jump into their conversation. Mary leaned against the backseat and looked outside the window, watching the silhouettes pass by until she slowly closed her eyes.

When she was just about to fall asleep, her phone abruptly rang.

Mary took out her phone and looked at it.

"I heard that you fell into the water today. Are you doing okay? I was shocked when I found out, but unfortunately I couldn't head back. Remember to get some rest when you can. I'm still shooting the

Past of Republic of China, and it's about to come to an end. Don't forget to watch it."

The message from Victor occupied half of the screen. It relieved Mary's boredom and annoyance.

"Everything's fine. Thank you for your concern. Please, take care of yourself too."

Then a new message popped up as soon as she hit send, and it was an MMS. It was a picture of Victor wearing a yellow green military coat, but he held up a silly peace sign with his left hand.

Mary smiled as she held her phone and closed her eyes once more.

William saw everything on the rear view mirror.

Mary "woke up" at the exact moment the car stopped at the underground parking lot, and followed the two people upstairs. "Well, I'm a little tired from the accident today. I'm going to get some rest." Mary couldn't wait to tell them as soon as they entered the house.

"Sure, go ahead." William nodded.

"Rest well, Mary."

"Thank you." Mary nodded, and headed to the room.

"Go take a shower! The bathroom is there."

"No, I'm going to take a shower in your room."

Mary pressed the side of her face against the bedroom door, and listened to the conversation between Frank and William.

"You..." There was a tinge of affection in William's tone of voice. "Fine, go ahead."

'Go to William's room to take a shower...'

Mary grabbed her bag and threw herself onto the bed. She was lost in thought. 'They've taken a bath together, slept together...

Should I wear earplugs tonight? If I hear something, I...'

She could hear the sound of trickling water from the bedroom next door. Marry rolled over to the side of the bed and tucked herself under the covers.

"Ouch! William that hurts!" After a while, Frank's screaming broke the silence in the next room. Mary was so startled that she bolted up from the bed.

All of a sudden, Mary's face turned red, and myriad of thoughts flooded into her mind.

She sprung off the bed, and ran to the east wall as fast as she could, and pressed her ear against the wall.

'Don't blame me for eavesdropping, William. I'm just... I'm really curious!'

"What the hell are they doing? Wait a minute..."

The master bedroom had excellent sound proofing. Even if Mary were to insert her body through the wall, she would only be able to hear soft sounds.

While she was trying to concentrate, she suddenly heard the door of her room open with a click.

William left the door wide open. When he took a closer look inside the room, he saw that Mary's hands and right ear were pressed against the wall. She was eavesdropping in an awkward posture.

Obviously, Mary was stunned. She slowly turned around and looked at William standing at the door. After looking at him for a few seconds, she quickly bounced away from the wall.

"What the hell are you doing?" William stepped inside her room. His tall figure placed an intense psychological pressure on Mary.

Moreover, he looked like he had just taken a shower. His hair was still slightly wet, he was wearing a loosely buttoned shirt, and the legs of his trousers were rolled up.

It was true that Mary couldn't resist such an alluring image.

"Ha ha..." Mary rubbed parts of her body randomly. She ignored his question, and avoided making eye contact.

Her heart started beating faster.

William walked towards her in his slippers, step by step. He pressed his hand against the wall and cornered Mary. Then he looked down at her face and asked in a low but intimidating voice, "What is it? What did you hear? Is there something you want to know?"

She was wrapped in the warmth of his breath, and she seemed as if she had forgotten how to breathe properly.

"No... I heard nothing." Mary swallowed a lump in her throat.

"So, what do you want to hear?" William lowered his head again, and the water at the end of his hair fell on Mary's blushing face.

"Nothing." "Is that so?" "Yes."

"I thought you really wanted to hear something."

"I... I..." Mary hesitated for a while, but she eventually made up her mind. She closed her eyes and said, "I want to know whether you're a top or a bottom!"

Mary thought that after she asked this question, there would be countless indecent words coming out of William's mouth, but in light of his upbringing, he did not lash out.

"Which one do you think I am?" Instead of getting angry or losing his temper, William leaned his face closer to Mary and whispered in her ear.

"Top?" Then he paused for a few seconds. "Or bottom?" he continued. Mary turned her face away, and looked at him with uncertainty as she felt the warmth coming from his breath.

"William! Did you find it?" Frank's voice came from the next room, interrupting their confrontation.

"I'll be right there!" William shouted at the door. Then he turned his attention back to Mary. "Where do you keep the medicine box at home?"

"What?" Mary was left slack-jawed. "What are you looking for? Are you hurt? What's going on?"

"I'm not. Frank is injured." 'William, that hurts...' She remembered the words she just heard from the next room. At this point, Mary was too embarrassed to say anything.

"You're blushing," William said out of the blue. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What?" Mary immediately touched her face. "No, I'm not! The medicine box is in the left drawer on the top of the storage cabinet in the living room. Go and get it. I... I'm going to sleep!"

William looked at her from head to toe, and walked away without saying a word.

"Finally..." When Mary breathed a sigh of relief, William stopped in his tracks.

"Since you've asked," said William with his back to her. "My answer is that I can be both the top and the bottom."

Mary was left speechless.

After three seconds of absolute silence, Mary watched William walk out of the room and closed the door behind him.

'It... It's not true, is it? Or is he really so good?'
