Love Contract novel Chapter 145

William was shocked at the impact.

"You are such a freak, William!" Mary cursed angrily.

"Mary..." William said softly. He then looked up at her and continued, "How do you feel now? If it helps you vent your anger, go ahead and beat me a few more times!"

"You..." Mary sputtered. She looked at him, dazed, before she said coldly, "I stained my hand touching you."

She glared at him, turned around, and left.

William continued to stare at her retreating back, standing there, unmoving, for a long time. Guilt and infatuation were bubbling up within him.

Andy hid behind the corner, an incredible look on her face. Mary was back!

Mary had been too reckless today. She shouldn't have gone to see William. How could she have allowed him to take advantage of her for no reason at all?

"Damn it!" Mary angrily stabbed the fork into the rice. "Mommy, you look scary!" Elissa said, her eyes round with worry as she looked at Mary.

"Mommy, did someone piss you off today?" Alick asked, sitting up on the chair.

At these questions from the kids, Mary came to her senses. She smiled reassuringly as she said, "I encountered something unhappy today. Mommy is a little angry, but only a little."

"Mommy, please don't be angry," said Alick. "When I grow up, I will help Mommy teach them a lesson."

"Me too, Mommy!" Elissa also looked up.

Mary reached out and gently touched their faces. "Why are you so good to me?" she sighed. "My sweethearts, you are Mommy's babies. Come on, give me a kiss."

"Okay," Elissa said, moving close to her mom. Alick, on the other hand, looked proud.

"Ring... "

Mary's phone began to ring.

"It's from Lucas," she muttered,

taking a sharp breath. She put the phone away.

"Mommy, why don't you answer the phone?" Alick asked. "Is it the person who made you angry?" "No, it's not that," said Mary, waving her hand. "It's Lucas."

"Daddy Lucas!" Elissa's eyes lit up at this. She grabbed the phone and said, "I want to talk to Daddy Lucas!"

"Not now-" Mary had barely finished her words when Elissa answered the phone.

"Mary!" a voice roared from the other end, without preamble. "Why didn't you say goodbye to me and why did you take them away without saying anything to me?" Lucas was livid.

"Daddy Lucas..." Elissa's eyes blinked, her mouth twitched, and she burst into tears. "Mommy..." she said, her voice cracked.

Mary took the phone from Elissa and handed it to Alick. She hugged Elissa, trying to comfort her as she said,

"Oh my baby, please don't cry!" Lucas was lost for words. But he recovered enough to say anxiously, "Is Elissa crying?"

"Yes, my sister is crying," Alick said to him. "Daddy Lucas, you scared her."

"I...” Lucas scratched his head, unable to defend himself. "Why did Elissa answer the phone? Give her the phone again."

"Mommy, Daddy Lucas wants to talk to Elissa," Alick said, looking over at Mary and Elissa. "No!" Elissa said, crying in Mary's arms, "Daddy is yelling at me... No. I don't want to talk to him."

Mary looked down at her and said, "Daddy Lucas didn't mean it, baby."

"She doesn't want to talk to you. What should I do?" Alick said,

frowning as he watched his sister cry. Lucas said angrily, "Give the phone to your mommy."

"Okay." "Mommy, Daddy Lucas wants to talk to you," said Alick.

"Okay," Mary said, rubbing Alick's head as she took the phone from him. "Hello?"

"Is Elissa still crying?" Lucas asked, sounding chastened.

"Yes, she's feeling sad. It's all your fault." Lucas had been kind to the two kids over the past four years and had never said a harsh word to them.

This meant that the children couldn't stand his sudden fierceness, especially since Elissa liked him so much.

"I thought you answered the phone!" Lucas said angrily.

"That's not fair!" Mary burst into laughter.

Lucas mellowed down but was still serious as he said, "Aren't you afraid of meeting him when you go back?"

"I've already met him," she said.

"What?" Lucas shouted a bark of surprise. He continued to shout and Mary removed her phone from her ear.

"How could I not meet him?" Mary said when he had relatively calmed down. She pursed her lips as she continued, "Don't make a fuss, okay?"

"It's easy for you to say that!" Lucas said angrily, "If I had known that you would go back to see him, I wouldn't have hidden you from him for four years!

Every time I answered his phone over these years, I've been scared to death!" Mary chuckled and said, "It was different seeing him this time. We have had nothing to do with each other for a long time. I had no choice but to leave him back then. You know what happened."

"I hope you've left him for good!" Lucas said, shaking his head. "I'll be back in a few days anyway. I'll accompany you all the time so that you don't have time to see him."

"You will be back, too?" Mary frowned.

"Of course! My dear Elissa is in China. Of course I have to go back. But tell me," he continued nervously. "Has Barry come back?"

"Not yet. He can't come back until he finishes his work." "Great!" Lucas said rather enthusiastically. "I must return earlier than him this time!"

"..." Mary was lost for words.

"By the way, is Elissa still crying?" Lucas asked.
