Love Contract
Chapter 186 Going Home Together (Part One)

In the 100th anniversary of Z University, Barry, a legendary alumnus of the university was invited warmly to attend the celebration.

Looking at Barry's grand invitation, Mary could not help but sigh. "It's really different to be a person with fame."

"Well, it actually depends on the person's contribution."

"Hmm?" Mary titled her head and asked him, "Did you donate money to the university?"

"Yes, I donated a lab building." Barry nodded slightly. "It was a long time ago."

"Wow!" Mary shook her head and chuckled.

"Shall we go together?" Barry raised his eyebrows. "You haven't come back to Z University for a long time, have you?"

"Yes," Mary answered with a smile. "I haven't been there since I graduated. I did not expect that so many years have passed already. Time really flies so fast." "Then go back with me."

"No, I don't think I should go back." Mary shook her head and added, "Besides, I haven't finished my work here."

"It's just a two-day trip," Barry said. "Also, I want to pay my respect to your mother."

Upon hearing this, Mary paused. Yes, she had not gone back to see her mother for a long time.

"I want to take Alick and Elissa with me as well," said Barry. "What do you think?"

"Hmm. Sure." Mary nodded.

On Friday afternoon, after finishing his work early, William rushed to the filming set of "Be Together".

Just like a young man who had fallen in love, the thought of seeing Mary made his heart beat fast.

"Mr. Lan comes to the set so frequently these past few days!" Seeing William again, Director Jamie was no longer surprised. He said teasingly, "Are you here to see our scriptwriter again?"

"Where is she?" Without getting annoyed, William just stretched out his neck and looked around the filming site.

"Stop peeping," said Archer, who came over wearing the outfit for the next scene. He was wearing an exquisite makeup but his face was long. "Mary has already left." William frowned. His excitement bubble burst at once. "Where did she go?"

"She ran away with Barry." Archer snorted and took a sip of water. His Adam's apple rolled up and down in an indescribable charm.

"Ran away? To where?" Wide-eyed, William exclaimed, "Where did they go?! Eloping? Did Barry force Mary to come with him? What else do you know?!"

"Eh?" Director Jamie stopped William's wild imagination and said in a matter-of-fact way, "Mr. Lan, they went back to their hometown to attend the anniversary of the alma mater."

"University anniversary? Z University?" Hearing that, William frowned deeply. "Did Alick and Elissa go with them, too?"

"Probably." Director Jamie nodded and added, "Actually I don't know. You can ask Archer."

"Archer?"

"Yes, ask me." Archer nodded with a fake smile.

"When did they go?" asked William.

"Why should I tell you?" Archer raised his head proudly.

"You..." Looking at the Hollywood star who was several years younger than him, William could not do anything except get mad. "Okay, I'll investigate it myself if you don't want to tell me. "It's pointless." Archer glanced at him and snickered, "They must have arrived already."

William choked at Archer's words. He rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger, as if Archer was giving him headache. "You seem to be against me."

"Uncle Timothy told me that I don't have to be polite to you," Archer said with raised eyebrows.

"My father?" said William in a daze.

"Yes. Your father." Archer nodded. "It seems that you don't care about Uncle Timothy at all. You didn't even help him with his career in the US."

"You..." Hearing what he said, William asked with narrowed eyes, "Do you also do dock business?"

"To be exact, it's my family business." Archer smiled. "Uncle Timothy and my father are good friends. I heard that he came back and visited him a few days ago." William just stared at Archer in bewilderment.

His father's dock business had been prosperous and was recognized by both gangs and the government. Because of that, he became well known in the US. William did not expect that this famous movie star in front of him would also get a share. He just realized that the man in front of him named Archer should not be underestimated.

"Then it's a pleasure to meet you." A faint smile appeared on William's face.

"Yeah, my pleasure." Archer raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to worry about Vivian. It's none of your business anyway. If you have time, you'd better care about Uncle Timothy and his business!" "Archer, come here!" Archer's agent greeted him from a distance.

"Okay," Archer replied and strode away without saying farewell, leaving William at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Meanwhile, Barry was driving Mary and the two kids to Z City.

"Mommy, I want a hug!" Sitting in the child safety seat, Elissa was bored to death.

"No, I can't hold you right now." Mary shook her head and continued, "Daddy Barry is driving. It's dangerous for us to move around."

"Then I'll call Daddy Lan."

"No way!" said Mary abruptly

"Why not?"

"Because... because your Uncle Lan is working and can't be disturbed," said Mary calmly while smiling. "Humph!" Elissa snorted in annoyance. "Why can't I do anything? Mommy, Elissa is so bored." "I have another book," said Alick. He took a book out of his bag and handed it to Elissa. "Here you are!"

"Thank you, Alick!" Elissa took it from him and opened it. However, the moment she opened it, she became unhappy again. "Why is there no princess?"

"I'm not interested in princesses." Alick shook his head like an adult.

"Then what is this? One... One..."

"One Hundred Thousand Whys." Alick answered her with a smile. "I asked Daddy Barry to buy it for me. It's very interesting. Thank you, Daddy Barry!" "You're welcome." Barry smiled as he looked at the rear-view mirror and said, "As long as you like it, Alick."

Mary blinked her eyes many times and said, "You're awesome, Alick. How can you read such a difficult book?"

Her son was so brilliant, but she did not know it until now...

"There are context clues," said Alick with a smug smile. "That's why I can understand them all!"

"My brother is awesome!" Elissa tugged Alick's sleeve and cheered her brother. "Alick, you are so wonderful!"

"Yes, Alick is so awesome!" Mary also looked at her son with admiration and pride.

"Elissa, why don't you read more books? You'll become as brilliant as your brother," said Barry.

"As long as Alick is awesome, I'm happy!" Elissa lowered her head and played with her fingers, trying her best to avoid the topic.

"Ha ha!" Barry could not help but laugh out aloud. "Mary, Elissa is really like you."

"Hey! What do you mean? Huh?" Mary put her hands on her hips and pretended to be fierce.

"No! Nothing special!" Barry shook his head in a hurry with a smile on his face.

The four of them arrived at the hotel at dusk. They checked in and prepared to set off to Z University tomorrow morning.

With the room card in her hand, Mary led Alick and Elissa to the suite next to Barry's.

"Why can't we sleep with Daddy Barry?" asked Alick innocently.

"Well..." Stunned, Mary did not know what to say.

Barry opened the door of his suite just in time to hear what they were talking about. He chimed in and said, "You can come and sleep with me." "Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

Before Mary could say anything, the two kids had already rushed to Barry.

"Daddy Barry, the room is so big!" Alick looked around and turned to call Mary. "Mommy! The room is big enough for us to stay together!"

"I'm going to sleep between Daddy Barry and Mommy tonight!" Like a spoiled child, Elissa held Barry's hand.

"Okay!" Barry grinned.

"I want to sleep next to Mommy and Daddy Barry!" said Alick too.

"Okay, okay, let's sleep together then!" Barry picked up the two kids and said to Mary, "Hurry up and join us!" "What? Alright." Mary slowly moved over to his side. Her face was a little flushed.

Seeing this, Barry tittered silently.

"Mary, you can take a shower first. I'll play with them for the meantime. We'll have dinner when you finish." "Okay." Mary nodded and went to the bathroom.
