Love Contract
Chapter 235 Chinese Valentine's Day (Part Two)

Her vision gradually blurred and her consciousness slowly dissipated. She felt that she was no longer herself. What she wanted was the man in front of her... "Well, you -"

Lucas was about to stand up, when Jazlyn wrapped his neck with one hand, raised his head, and kissed him on the lips.

Lucas was flabbergasted and forgot how to react. 'What is going on? What is she doing?'

Jazlyn's mind went blank and she could not control herself at all. Slowly, she put her hands on Lucas's shoulders.

"You... What are you doing?" Lucas pushed her away, only to replace out that her eyes narrowed deliriously. She was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.

An idea flashed in his mind, and Lucas asked in surprise, "You... Were you drugged?"

Jazlyn nodded. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid she would start moaning uncontrollably if she opened her mouth.

"I... I'll take you to the hospital!" said Lucas. However, Jazlyn held him back and put her hands on the button of his shirt.

Lucas's eyes instantly darkened. The woman's hair was in a mess, and her shoulders were exposed.

His last defense line collapsed.

Lucas picked her up and walked into the bedroom while carrying her.

An evil thought flashed in his mind and he grinned. He was obviously saving a person!

In the Kary Villa.

Mary was lying on the bed with the two kids.

"Mommy, when will Dad come back?" asked Elissa.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Mary rubbed her head. In fact, Mary did not know it exactly. She had only received an email from William since he had gone abroad two weeks ago.

"I miss Dad so much!" Alick felt a little bit sad. "Why doesn't Dad have time to accompany me and Elissa?"

"I miss Dad too."

Mary sighed. 'I miss him too.'

"When Dad comes back, tell him that you guys miss him very much. Then, he will accompany you, understand?" Mary comforted the two kids but deep inside, she was comforting herself as well.

"Got it!"

"Let's sleep!" Mary checked the time and it was half past eight. "Go to bed. Maybe you can see your father tomorrow morning when you wake up!

"Really?!"

"Really?!"

The two kids looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Yep." Mary nodded reassuringly.

Hearing this, the two kids hugged each other with a smile and quickly closed their eyes to rest.

Mary smiled and patted them softly, humming an unknown lullaby.

There seemed to be warm breeze blowing in the air, and even Mary fell into a sweet dream gradually.

"Mary, Mary, I'm back."

She felt as if a fluffy puppy was waking her up.

Mary opened her eyes, but she only saw darkness. However, there was not a puppy! It was a living person whispering in her ear.

"Ah! Help!"

Mary exclaimed. Could a thief have broken into her home?

"Stop shouting. It's me." A hoarse voice came from above her head. William turned on the bedside lamp and said, "Don't wake up the children."

"William? You are back!" In delight, Mary could not help but lift his face to look at him properly.

William had just entered the room and he did not have time to change his clothes. He looked worn out and it was as though he aged rapidly while he was away. His face was covered with stubble and his eyes looked tired as if he had not have proper sleep for days.

"Are you okay? Is everything fine?" Mary looked at him excitedly but also felt sorry for him at the same time. "It seems you lost some weight."

"Because I missed you so much." With a smile on his lips, William kissed on Mary's cheek slightly.

Mary blushed and asked, "Did you just come back?"

"Yes, I did." William nodded. As soon as he finished dealing with the matters, he rushed back home right away. He had not seen Mary for so many days, and he had missed her so much. "Then you should take a shower and have a rest!

"I'm not in a hurry." William touched her face and said, "Let's go out for fun!"

"Where are we going? It's so late! Aren't you tired? How about another day?" Mary raised a lot of questions one after another.

"It's Chinese Valentine's Day. Your movie has just been released. I'll take you to watch your movie."

"It's okay. You don't have to." Mary looked at him as he held her in his arms like a spoiled child.

William's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Suddenly, a glint of different color appeared in his eyes. He muttered, "It's also good that we don't go out. We can just stay here and... let's celebrate the Valentine's Day differently."

"You..." Biting her lips, Mary let go of him right away and said, "I'll put on my clothes. Let's go to the cinema!"

"Ha ha!" Watching her walk away, William lowered his head and kissed the two sleeping kids. Mary, on the other hand, walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

A romantic atmosphere pervaded the streets of the city.

William and Mary walked hand in hand on the street.

"Are we dating?" Mary asked with a smile.

"Of course." William nodded firmly.

"Our first date."

"We will date many times more in the future." With a smile on his face, William kissed the back of her hand and said in a childish tone, "From now on, we have to celebrate every Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, National Day, Spring Festival..."

Mary giggled at his gesture. Together, they walked to the cinema hall.

Most of the people in the cinema were couples. The two bought the tickets and went to Hall 3 to take their seats.

While Mary was eating popcorn idly, William poked her arm.

"What's wrong?" Mary asked in a low voice.

"Look at what they are doing," said William, pointing at the couple seated in front of them.

Looking in the direction he was pointing at, Mary blushed. It turned out that a young couple took advantage of the darkness and kissed each other non-stop.

"Why are your eyes so sharp?" Mary looked at him incredulously. "Mary," said William, tugging at her sleeve and leaning over to her lips while pouting, "I also want to... You know..."

Mary stuffed his mouth with a handful of popcorn. "The movie is about to begin. Focus!"

The big screen lit up in an instant. For a brief moment, William stole a kiss on Mary's cheek. Like a child who had succeeded, he quickly adjusted his sitting position and began to watch the movie carefully. While the movie was showing, he held Mary's hand tightly, never letting go even just for a second.

The scenes in the movie brought him back to the past.

"You had been in America for four years," whispered William in her ear. "Did you miss me a little? If you didn't see me after you came back, would you be with Barry?" Mary turned her head to look at him and she answered, "Probably."

William held her hand tighter. "I don't allow it. You wrote the scene where the two characters met again. It just shows that you have always had this thought in your heart, right?" "I'm sure you did, Mary. We are destined to be together." Looking at her with burning eyes, William asked solemnly, "Do you like me?"

Mary was at a loss because of his passionate gaze. Her actions had already shown her thoughts, had they not? 'William, do you really want me to tell you? I'm embarrassed.'

Noticing her hesitation, William felt like he was falling into a bottomless abyss. William was scared at what her response could be but he still asked, "Mary, are you with me again because of the children?"

"Ahem."

The two suddenly heard a warning cough behind them. The young couple behind them was strongly dissatisfied with William's loud voice just now.

"I'm so sorry." Mary turned around and whispered an apology.

Just then, the ending theme of the movie began.

Mary rushed out of the exit in shame.

"Mary! Mary!" William followed her all the way to the parking lot. "You haven't answered my question!"

"What question?"

"Do you like me?"

"I..." Mary had been annoyed by him, but when she raised her head, she saw his nervous look. After staring at him for a while, she nodded shyly. "Mary, I want you to speak it out." The surprise in William's heart was so great, but he wanted to hear her say it in person. "Say you like me." "I... Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Say it now." William did not want to let go of her. He just stood there as if he would not go anywhere without hearing Mary say it in person. "I... I like you," Mary said quickly.

As soon as she finished speaking, William attacked her with a kiss.

They were standing beside the street, with cars coming and going on the road. The festival was bustling with people, and this free "good show" immediately received several whistles from satisfied people. Embarrassed, Mary slapped William hard on his arm to make him stop.

With a smile, William pushed her into the car and said, "Let's go home now!"

"Eh?" It was too late for Mary to react. Before she knew it, the car sped along the highway.

It took them half the time to return to the villa.
