Love Contract novel Chapter 114

As Mary stood in the kitchen, she felt spiritless.

A wave of emotions surged in her chest-shame, excitement, guilt.

As Frank gazed at the two, he dug his nails into palms.

That day, he had only heard about it.

But seeing it today with his own two eyes felt like a punch in the gut. 'William, why? Why were you so cold to me yet you snuck out to see Mary?'

"You think I'd force her if she didn't want to do it?"

All of a sudden, Frank recalled what William had said that day. He scowled at Mary, the look on his face said that he wanted to tear her apart.

It was Mary who had seduced William. 'I'll make you pay for this! You'll regret this until your dying day!'

Suddenly, the door to Mary's room was kicked open and slammed shut.

Frank stood outside the door in secret—he never thought that William would sleep with that woman.

After everything was over, Mary was a little short of breath. She closed her eyes, refusing to look at William.

It took a while for William to get up as he wiped the sweat off her face.

Mary was quiet.

"Rest well," William said as he got out of bed and tucked Mary in.

He took one last look at Mary before leaving the room, satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, the room was dimmed and no sound could be heard.

What was going on?

Mary suddenly opened her eyes, still under the quilt. 'What am I to you, William?

Mary, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you refuse him? From his wife on paper to his nanny and now I am his...'

A single drop of tear fell on her pillow as she shut her eyes close.

She couldn't do this anymore...

The contract was going to be over soon. He was going to leave soon. She couldn't go on like this anymore... The following morning, Mary woke up because of the cold. She drew the curtains only to find a thick layer of steam on the window.

Winter had come—no wonder it was freezing.

She changed her clothes before heading out. When she did, she found William sitting in the kitchen, having his morning coffee while Frank was cooking breakfast.

Everything looked peaceful.

Smiling bitterly, she turned around, intending to leave quietly.

"Mary!" William called as soon as he caught sight of her. "Come here."

"Mary's up." Frank turned around, smiling. He invited, "Come here. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay." Mary nodded as she walked towards the kitchen.

"It's cold today. Why aren't you bundled up?" William asked.

"I'm not cold..."

"Have some coffee," William offered. "To warm you up."

"No, thanks." Mary lowered her head, averting her gaze. William was on the verge of losing his temper when she refused him. However, just one glimpse of the rosy tint on her face instantly softened his heart.

"How was your sleep last night?" William looked at her nervously.

"Well... It was fine." Mary nodded, her face reddened.
