Love Contract novel Chapter 136

Ding Dong, Ding Dong...

The echoes of the doorbell rang inside the silent apartment.

William turned his head abruptly, immediately stumbling up on his feet and rushing to the apartment door. It was as if he couldn't wait another second.

With a click, the door opened.

"Mary!" William blurted out.

"William..."

It was Frank. He stood outside the door and held back his tears as he heard William call out her name.

He gazed at William. William's eyes were sunken and bloodshot, thin stubble grew on his chin. His hair was dirty and messy.

Was he still the vigorous and graceful young man that he loved? No! They hadn't seen each other for a few days, but he looked so devastated!

"Why are you here?" When William saw Frank, the light in his eyes faded. His voice grew cold and his face was devoid of any emotion.

"William..." Frank sobbed, "Where have you been these past few days? What happened to you?"

"Where have I been?" William's eyes looked dead. The bright fire that was once lit had now died inside his heart.

He went to all the places where she could have gone to, but still couldn't find her.

"Mary? You went to look for her, right?" Frank grabbed his arm and shouted, "You've found her? She's here right now, isn't she? I knew it!"

As soon as Frank finished talking, he pushed the door open and rushed inside the apartment. He began shouting wildly, "Come out, Mary!"

"If she were here, do you think I'd be like this? I couldn't find her..."

Frank paused. "Where did she go?"

"I have no idea." William let out a deep sigh. He looked like a lost child. "I can't find her..."

Frank's heart sunk. He suddenly turned around and grabbed William's hand. "William, let's go... Let's go to Norway... It's good that you haven't found her..."

After Frank dragged him forward a couple of steps, William shook off his hand.

"I'm not going to Norway! I want to stay here until I find Mary!" William yelled.

"She's gone! She's never coming back!"

"No!" William shook his head like a crazed mad man. "Maybe... Maybe she was just in a bad mood and needed some time alone for a couple of days... I know she'll be back soon...I just know it..."

The corners of William's mouth lifted slightly, as if what he said was the truth. But since Mary had signed the divorce agreement, why would she ever come back?

"What about me? What about me, William!" Frank's eyes turned red as he bellowed, his voice croaking in pain.

"You... Frank, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry? Sorry!" Frank sneered, "You're sorry? For what?"

"I fell in love with someone else." William looked at Frank. His eyes were filled with guilt but his heart was determined to speak the truth. "I've fallen in love with Mary."

"Ha ha..." Frank burst into laughter, but his eyes were brimming with tears. "You love her?"

"At the time Sansa died in order to save me, my heart was left with nothing more but ashes. Facing you... I can't refuse you. I could never say no to you." After William had finished speaking, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his chest.

It turned out that telling the truth was very easy.

Frank's mouth trembled and his face drained of color.

William laughed bitterly, "For so many years, I've always treated you like a younger brother. I tried to treat you as my lover, but I just couldn't do it... Well... Until I married Mary... I care so much about her, her smile and her every move. I couldn't ignore her... The more I got to know her, the more I couldn't help falling deeper in love.

I get jealous whenever I see her with other men and my heart aches whenever she cries...

I don't know when this feeling started but I've slowly fallen in love with her... I love her, but I can't find her now... "

As soon as William finished his words, he burrowed his head in his hands and his eyes turned red. "She left without saying a word, leaving only a divorce agreement. I feel that I am dying..."

Frank stared at him, clenching his fists. He'd never known that William could love a woman this much...

"You can leave now," William mumbled.
