Love Contract novel Chapter 116

On Saturday morning, Mary and William got dressed and set out for the ski resort at S City.

Mary caught sight of William's professional ski equipment. She was absolutely dumbfounded.

"You can ski?" Mary asked.

"Of course. Skiing in the winter and surfing in the summer. Sounds pretty good, right?"

"Yes, it's not bad."

As expected, William had unlimited resources. He was free to do what he wanted whenever he wanted to.

While the car drove north, the air got colder and colder along the way. The scenery on the road changed from autumn to winter. Lying in her seat and in her puffy jacket, Mary wanted to curl up into a ball.

When they entered S City, she saw the snow on both sides of the road and on top of the branches.

"It's snowing!" Mary leaned against the car window and looked out.

"Yes. It'll continue snowing for two days." "Really?" Mary's eyes lit up. This was the first time she'd ever seen snow...

As he saw the joy in her eyes, William's heart fluttered.

The manager of the ski resort greeted them as soon as they arrived. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

"Oh, Mr. Lan. Welcome."

"Thank you, Manager Sun. We'll have to trouble you for a while." William shook his hand firmly.

The two of them chatted as the hot air from their mouths formed into small clouds. Mary rubbed her hands together. 'It's so cold!'

"It's no trouble at all." Manager Sun smiled. "It's cold out here. Let's head inside the villa first."

"Alright."

"This way, madam." Manager Sun gestured to them.

"Thank you." Mary then followed the two inside.

"Mr. Lan, I thought you were busy," Manager Sun said. "I called your assistant Kevin a few days ago, but he said you were busy. So I was surprised to have received your call in person later."

"Well, it's not wrong to take some time off and come here." William shrugged. He never told him that he had taken Lucas's tickets.

The two chatted as they walked to the front, while Mary followed closely behind them.

The road to the villa was covered in snow. Mary lightly stepped on it and giddily hopped forward.

"Ah!" But suddenly, her foot slipped on the ice. She screamed as her body swayed, slowly losing balance.

"Watch out!" William turned around quickly and placed his arms around her waist. He caught her as his eyes were filled with worry. "Are you all right?"

"I'm okay..." Mary shook her head and blushed. Crack!

In the distance, sounds of camera shutter could be heard. No one saw that a young man was hiding secretly behind the trees. He followed them all the way there while occasionally taking photos.

"Look at you! Be careful," William said as he let go of her.

"Okay..." Pursing her lips, Mary nodded reluctantly.

"Come here! Hold my hand!" William suddenly reached his hand out to her and raised his eyebrow. "I..."

"Hurry up!" He was obviously in a hurry.

Biting her lips, Mary looked at William's outstretched hand. 'His hand must be very warm.'

She hesitantly reached out her hand. As soon as her finger touched William's palm, he grabbed her hand.

"You're so slow!" William shot her a look of disgust as he held her hand tightly.

"Humph..." Mary protested, but was pulled forward with every step.

"Is madam okay?" Manager Sun looked at Mary. "I forgot to mention that it's been snowing a lot here. You should be careful."

"It's okay." William shook his head calmly. He turned his head slightly to stare at Mary. The corners of his mouth suddenly curved up. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

'I'll hold your hand so you wouldn't fall down again.'

"Here we are." Manager Sun turned around with a smile. "This is the suite I prepared just for you two. Mr. Lan, are you satisfied with it?"

"Yes." William nodded and led Mary inside the suite. "Wow, it looks great!" She ran to the window and stared outside.
