Love Contract -
Chapter 139 Such A Reunion (Part One)
At a villa in the city.
The two kids, Alick and Elissa, had woken up early. They jumped up and down the bed, and constantly tried to wake Mary up with their playful little hands.
"Alick, Elissa, stop! Mommy is still sleeping," Mary groaned. Elissa pulled Mary's hair. "Brother, I'm getting hungry," the little girl complained.
When Alick heard his sister's plea, he put down the story book he was reading at once. He spoke like a gentle little man, "Should we wake Mommy up?" "Okay." Elissa nodded.
"Mommy..."
"Mommy, get up..."
"Hmm..."
While she was sleeping like a log, Mary felt her children making a fuss beside her. She stretched out her hands and yawned. With a groggy voice, she said, "Sweethearts, stop making trouble for Mommy." "Mommy, when are you going to make breakfast?" Alick shook her arm over and over. "Elissa said she's really hungry."
"Mommy!" Elissa climbed on top of Mary and kissed her on the cheek. "Get up, Mommy..."
Then the little girl pinched both of Mary's cheeks."I'm so hungry, wake up!" Mary reluctantly opened her eyes and sat up, holding Elissa in her arms. "Alright, alright, I'm up. Wait for a little while, okay? Mommy will cook breakfast for you."
"Okay!" Elissa nodded, her mood changed immediately.
Mary smiled and kissed the little girl's rosy cheek. Then she reached her hand out to hold Alick.
"Mommy, you can't kiss me. You haven't brushed your teeth yet!" Alick pushed his mother's face away as he turned his head away from her.
Mary playfully glared at the boy. She pretended to be angry and said, "You're only three years old, and you're already a neat freak! I'm your mother!"
Neat freak...
After saying that, Mary was stunned.
Looking at Alick's face, she thought that heredity was such a cruel thing. They looked the same, acted the same, and even the way they spoke was the same.
"Mommy, if Brother won't kiss you, Elissa will kiss you!" Elissa put her pink lips close to Mary and kissed her face several times.
"Ha ha..." Mary couldn't help but giggle as she was tickled by Elissa's soft hair.
At the bedside, Alick's face turned sour as he watched his mother and sister laughing.
All of a sudden, he wrapped his arms around Mary's neck and kissed her face more times than Elissa did.
"Eh?" Mary was surprised. "I haven't brushed my teeth, why are you kissing me, Alick? It's dirty!"
"Yes..." Elissa looked at her brother and nodded in agreement.
"Humph!" Alick didn't say anything. He just looked at Mary and kissed her cheeks even harder.
"Haha..." Mary smiled at Alick.
She put her left hand around Alick, and her right hand around Elissa. She kissed the two kids' faces and said, "Okay, Mommy is going to cook. You two behave yourselves, got it?" "Okay!"
"Okay, Mommy!" Mary placed them on the bed, and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she was about to step out of the bedroom, her phone rang.
She hurried to the bedside to pick up the phone. She immediately hushed the two kids who were playing before she answered the phone.
"Hello? Director Jamie?"
"Vivian, how are you? Have you returned to China?"
"Yes, I just got back yesterday."
"So, how was your trip? Did you run into trouble along the way?"
"Thank you for your concern, but everything is fine." Mary brushed off the pleasantries and asked, "Did something come up, Director Jamie?"
"Oh, it's your movie 'Be Together'. There is a selection for the heroine in Sofia International Hotel today. Can you drop by and take a look at the event?"
Mary frowned and said, "Director Jamie, I want to choose the heroine of this movie myself."
"Vivian, don't worry. I've read your script forwards and backwards. I know what kind of actress you're looking for!" Director Jamie continued, "I'm just worried that the movie won't be finished before Chinese Valentine's Day." Mary bit her lower lip.
Director Jamie was one of the best directors in the country. Last year, his movie was recorded as the highest grossing film of the year. Because of that, Mary believed in his capabilities, but "Be Together" was her first work. She wanted to choose the leading role by herself, so she would be certain that it would be perfect.
"So, how about it? Vivian?"
"Director Jamie, when will the selection begin?" "Nine o'clock."
"Nine o'clock..." Mary looked at her watch. "Well, Director Jamie, I will try my best to go there on time."
"Then I'll be waiting for you."
"Got it."
Mary shook her head in disbelief after she hung up the phone. "Mommy's going to cook now," she told her kids.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Ring..."
Mary furrowed her brows and answered the phone with an unfriendly tone, "Yes, Director Jamie, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Did Director Jamie piss you off again?" Barry said on the other end of the line.
"Well..." Mary looked at the caller ID and said, "No, not really."
"Was it about the movie? If it is, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it."
"No, it's okay." Mary shook her head. "It's really no problem. Don't you believe in me?"
"I believe in you," chuckled Barry. "How can there be anything you can't solve? You're like a super woman!"
"Humph..." Mary asked, "Shouldn't you be sleeping? I need to make breakfast for the kids, I have to go now." "What are they doing?"
"They're just playing on the bed."
"Give them your phone, I'll talk to the kids. You can go ahead and cook up breakfast."
"Just let them play by themselves," said Mary after a pause. "You're going to be busy handing over your work in the next two days. Just get some rest, Barry."
"It's not a problem!" Barry smiled. "Besides, I can't fall asleep without talking to them." "You're spoiling them too much." Mary shook her head in defeat and talked to the kids on the bed. "It's Daddy Barry, do you want to talk to him?"
"Yes, please!"
"Yes!"
The children couldn't wait to get their hands on the phone when they found out who was calling.
"Should I give them the phone?"
"Yes, don't worry! I got this." Barry continued, "By the way, I hired a nanny. She should be there soon. It's too exhausting for you to take care of them by yourself."
"Thank you..." Mary swallowed what she was about to say and changed it into a simple sigh of relief.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go cook breakfast!"
"Thank you, Barry." Mary nodded. She passed the phone to Elissa and Alick.
"Daddy Barry!"
The kids shouted in unison.
Mary stopped at the door when she heard their excitement. Her heart almost melted at the sound of their sweet little voices.
She was so glad that she listened to Lucas, and decided not to get an abortion. If not for him, these two little angels wouldn't be with her today. They were her precious family.
Mary went to the kitchen, put on an apron and skillfully cooked porridge, fried eggs, and hot bread. In the past four years, in order to take care of her two babies, she had changed a lot. She learned everything she had to, and worked hard to be a better person for them.
After she finished cooking breakfast, she went upstairs and found that they were still talking to Barry on the phone.
"All right, all right," said Mary, taking her cell phone. "It's time to go downstairs and eat breakfast. Daddy Barry also needs to rest now. You can't talk on the phone anymore!"
"Okay!"
"Oh... but I still want to talk to Daddy Barry."
"It's only been twenty minutes. Is it ready so soon?" Barry asked.
"Yes, I need to oversee the selection for the heroine today. I need to get there early." Mary added, "You'd better go to bed now."
"Do you miss me today?"
Mary did not respond right away. She paused before speaking again. "Barry, why didn't I realize that you were so clingy before?" "That's because you never noticed!" He chuckled and insisted, "So, did you think about me today?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I've thought about you! Are you happy now?"
"More than happy." Barry sounded satisfied. "Go eat breakfast."
"Okay, then go get some rest."
"You got it, milady."
After hanging up the phone, Mary led her kids downstairs.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong."
In the middle of breakfast, the doorbell rang.
"Mommy, someone's at the door." Elissa was eating eggs while she was talking.
"Okay, I heard it too. I'll go open the door." Mary put down her utensils and walked to the gate of the villa.
"Hello, madam. I'm your nanny." A simple and honest woman appeared at the door.
Madam...
Mary raised an eyebrow, but decided not to argue. "Please, come in."
"Thank you, madam." The woman came in and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me Hester.
"Hester." Mary nodded and said to the two kids in the kitchen, "Come here, Alick, Elissa."
"Coming!"
"We're coming, Mommy!"
At a moment's notice, the two rosy-cheeked kids appeared in the living room.
