Love Contract novel Chapter 163

"William... William?" Mary paused for a moment as the call grew quiet.

"Yes, it's me. Are you free now?" William's flat voice came through the phone.

"Yes." Mary nodded.

"Where are you? I'll pick you up. We... Have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." William's words were a bit jumbled and incoherent.

Divorce...

Mary felt her heart sink when she heard this. Although she wanted the divorce and she was going to do it, she was still a little disappointed.

"No, you don't need to pick me up," Mary said in a calm voice. "I can get there by myself."

"Are you at the set? I'll be there in five minutes," William insisted. He didn't seem to hear her words.

"... Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mary looked in Ena's direction. Ena and Victor were shooting the scene of getting the marriage license. In the film, they were about to start the rest of their lives with each other. In reality, they were about to get a divorce.

After speaking with the director, Mary walked out of the set alone.

The sky was gloomy.

After a few minutes, a sports car came over.

"Get in the car." William stared at Mary indifferently.

"Okay." Mary nodded and sat inside the

passenger seat of the car. She kept silent as William drove.

The air of silence grew dense as William drove slowly. At this rate, it would take them an hour or more to get to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Well... The traffic isn't that heavy. Can you drive a bit faster?" Mary said.

"My arm still huts. I can't drive fast." William kept his eyes on the road as he spoke to her. If it was possible, he...

He hoped that the car would never arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"You... Haven't made a full recovery yet?"

"Not yet." Her question made the corners of William's mouth twitch. He thought about how she had bandaged his wounds delicately before. His heart ached and he didn't dare to think further.

"You..." 'Take care of yourself.' Mary stopped talking.

William kept his eyes on the road ahead. "You... How are you doing recently?"

"I'm doing fine."

"Your daughter... She's very cute." William's eyes darkened when he thought of her children.

"Thank you." Mary nodded. Deep down she felt pity for him. He didn't know that she was his daughter and he'd never find out.

"How is Lucas?"

"He's almost recovered."

"He... Does he like you?" William said. His Adam's apple bobbed up.

"I...” Mary lowered her head. "I only like him as a friend."

"Yes." William's hands clenched the steering wheel. The veins in his hands bulged. "Barry... He is very excellent."

"Yes."

The two of them chatted casually. No matter how slow he drove, they still arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. At the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, some of the young couples walked out happily but there were some who quarreled as they bolted through the doors.

Not a lot of people had the pleasure of having a divorce go so smoothly and peacefully.

"Here you go." William took out the marriage certificates and handed one to Mary.

"Eh? Wow. It's good that you still kept it," Mary said, her eyes widened as she got a good look at the certificate.

"Let's head inside." William looked at the sign and walked in.

Of course he kept the marriage certificates. Every time he missed her, he would take them out and stared at them for hours. Memories of their marriage surged in his mind. He regretted not smiling in that photo.

"Jill hasn't brought me my ID card and household register yet."

"Let's wait in the car."

"No, it's alright." Mary forced a smile.

"Okay. Do you mind if I take a quick smoke?" William asked.

Mary shook her head.

Crack... William took out the lighter, put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

Jill soon arrived and brought the things Mary needed. The two walked inside the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

"Have you two made up your mind?" the officer said coldly with an indifferent expression.

"Yes,"
