Love Contract -
Chapter 232 Completion Of Filming (Part One)
The sun shone brightly upon the horizon as the birds chirped harmonious melodies and the fragrant aroma of the flowers was pleasing. Inside the quiet house, there came a knock on the bedroom door of the
second floor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Mommy, open the door!" Elissa's little hand patted the door. "Mommy! Dad! It's Elissa!"
"Mommy!" Alick also began knocking on the door. "Are you in there with dad?"
Mary suddenly sat up from her bed. Hearing the knocking sound, she rubbed her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the noise, William asked in a daze.
"Alick and Elissa want to come inside." Rubbing her eyes, Mary was about to get out of bed.
"Hmm? Now?" With a snort, William immediately sobered up. He turned over and shouted at the kids outside, "Don't come in now! Wait a moment!"
After that, he hurriedly pulled up the loose neckline that hung on her shoulder. "Hurry up. Fix your clothes... It's not good to let children see you like that..."
Hearing that, Mary was stunned. In a daze, she remembered how restless William was last night. She became angry and anxious immediately.
William grabbed his trousers and put them on in a few seconds. As soon as he fastened his belt, he heard a crack from the door, and then two curious little heads were exposed. "Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Alick and Elissa rushed in cheerfully. "Mommy, why didn't you open the door?"
"Well..." Mary tidied her hair. "Uh..." Her cheeks flushed as she tried to make up an excuse. "I didn't hear you."
"Why is Dad naked?" Alick glanced at William.
"Well... You don't need to wear clothes to sleep. "William nodded firmly.
"Yeah! I won't wear clothes when I go to bed next time!" Elissa clapped her hands.
"But Mommy, why didn't you sleep with Elissa and me last night?" asked Alick as he walked closer to the bed.
"Mommy is bad! Mommy, you don't want to sleep with Elissa!" A thought suddenly popped up in Mary's head after she heard their complaints.
Her confused and disdainful eyes swept over William, and the two kids also looked at him.
All three remembered that they went to bed together last night...
"Ha ha..." William laughed while putting on a shirt. "This bed is too small. It'll be too crowded if the four of us sleep together. I placed the little guys next door after they fell asleep." "What..." Mary rubbed her temples. Thinking of that 'sneak attack' from William last night, she couldn't believe the bullshit that was coming out of his mouth!
"Alick and Elissa, it's time for breakfast. Please come downstairs!" The nanny's voice came from outside.
Alick and Elissa ran downstairs right away. The two of them were left alone in the bedroom once more.
"Ahem..."
The two stared at each other. Seeing Mary's displeased expression, William leaned over and said fawningly, "Ah, I just couldn't help myself last night."
"Judging from what happened, I don't think it's a good idea for us to sleep in the same bed." Mary gritted her teeth. "If you keep acting like such rascal, I will make you suffer!"
"Mary, why are you being so cold to me?" William asked cheekily. "Have you forgotten how happy we were on the sky wheel?"
Mary felt chill run down her spine. She then stormed out of the room.
"Ha ha... Mary, you look so cute when you're shy!"
After saying that, William turned his head with a smile. It just occurred to him that they were still not officially married. It seemed that it was time to let the small red certificate bind him and Mary together...
It was less than one month before the Chinese Valentine's Day, and all the film companies had been prepared for the upcoming competition. As scheduled, there were five movies to be released on the Chinese Valentine's Day,.
However, there was no doubt that the most popular one was "Be Together".
The actors and actresses in this move were quite attractive, there was Victor, who returned to the entertainment industry after four years, Ena, who stood out from the crowd and acted as the heroine in her first movie, Archer, the actor who had always had a place in the entertainment news headline and was a Hollywood superstar, and Selah, who had risen to fame recently. Not to mention some of the famous movie stars who were only playing supporting characters in the movie.
The cast was enough to glue the audience to the screen.
Mary felt a mix of both excitement and worry. The audience's expectations for the movie were very high. What if they were disappointed with the final outcome? In that case, her very first masterpiece would be stifled in the cradle. She didn't dare think about it!
"Why do you look so sad?" Archer came over and asked, "The movie is on its final edits. You should be happy. Are you worried about the box office?"
Mary looked up at him and nodded.
"There's nothing to be worried about." Archer shrugged, "I promise you that movie will be a hit, with my face in it. Besides, you can ask William to make a block booking for a few times, and then you'd get the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars in just a minute."
"I don't like cheating." Mary laughed out loud.
"What? How can this be cheating! This is called love! This is the time to show how much Mr. Lan loves you!"
"Cut the crap." Glancing at him, Mary tilted her head. "Why have you been helping William recently?" Archer rubbed his nose. "It's all because of the mistake I made last time! The most shameful thing I've ever done in my life was mistaking you for someone else!
Two days later, Mr. Lan talked to me in person and almost devoured me alive!" Archer let out an annoyed sigh. "I have to help him!"
Mary stuck out her tongue and laughed. "You have only yourself to blame."
"By the way, don't you have a twin sister or a sibling?"
"No, I don't. I'm sure of it." Mary shrugged. "I'm an only child. You have asked me hundreds of times and I have solemnly answered your question every time. I'm certain that I don't have a twin." "Alas..." Archer shook his head. It was so weird. He had asked his men to look into it, but he still couldn't replace anything to link that woman to her. Did he really make a mistake?
"Mary, can you come here for a second?" The field service's voice echoed from afar.
"Okay! Coming," Mary replied. She nodded to Archer and walked over.
"Mary, Mr. Lan is here."
Before Mary could react, William had already walked up to her. He wore a tailored suit today, perfectly showing his handsome figure. "How are the two kids?" Mary asked as he stepped closer. The film should be completed within the day. She hadn't left the set for two days.
"I can feel my heart breaking!" William covered his chest exaggeratedly. "Mary, you didn't even ask me how I'm doing."
"I can tell that you are doing great even without asking!" Mary shook her head.
"I haven't seen you in two days. How can you expect me to be fine?" As he spoke, William was about to take Mary's hand.
Mary dodged right away. "Don't touch me!"
"Oh, Mr. Lan, what brings you here again?" Director Jamie walked over with a smile.
"The film is about to be completed. I should be here, shouldn't I?" William had a stern expression as he raised his eyebrows and withdrew his hand.
"Since you're already here, how about you invite us over for dinner, Mr. Lan? Think of it as a little celebration party for the film's completion."
"No problem!" William waved, indicating that it was a piece of cake. Once the film was finished, Mary would have some time off. She could then accompany William. The thought of her having more time for him made him happy, and he didn't mind spending a bit more to guarantee it. As soon as William finished speaking, Director Jamie ran to the middle of the hall and shouted, "Today's wrap up party, Mr. Lan will treat us to dinner. Everyone, work hard and make sure to finish your tasks early. You'd better not eat anything before dinner so that later you can enjoy yourselves!"
