Love Contract novel Chapter 164

As William stared off in the distance, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He recalled the dim light of that night and the way she ate.

"When?" Mary's eyes widened. "Why... Don't I remember it?"

"You forgot. Let's go and have a seat." William directed her to the bench.

"... Okay."

Mary nodded. The two sat side by side on the bench on the rooftop, watching the scenery in the distance.

A gust of wind blew and Mary's hair flew slightly, sweeping across the tip of William's nose. It left a trace of fragrance.

"The first time I saw you, you were eating instant noodles. Alone, eleven o'clock in the evening." William kept his eyes on the scenery in front of them. "I don't know why I talked with you at that time."

The memory of that day suddenly flashed in Mary's mind. She remembered the scene many years ago piece by piece. "That was you? Hm..." "Yes. That was me." William smiled.

"I didn't expect that."

"Yes. After that, you couldn't remember me."

"Ha ha..." Mary lowered her head and chuckled. "I was too busy digging into that bowl of noodles at that time. If I'd known that you were my boss, I would have fawned on you."

"If I'd known that you were going to be my future wife..." William paused and didn't continue. If he did it again...

"Mary? How have you been these past four years?"

"I've been fine." Mary nodded. "My career progressed greatly and my children... They're very cute and doing well. But I missed home, so I came back. What about you?"

"I... I've been having a hard time."

"Is it because of Frank?" Mary looked at him. "I thought you were going to Norway with him. I didn't expect to see you again here."

"Really?" A bitter smile appeared on William's face.

'It was hard because of you only. But there's no need to say it again.'

"Is it because... You were too close to those female stars, so Frank got angry?" "Are you angry? I'm too close to them. Are you angry with me?" William asked suddenly.

"I... It's none of my business..." Mary was stunned.

Hearing that, William choked with sobs and said nothing. Yes, she was no longer the Mary who confessed that she liked him.

For a moment, they were silent, as if they'd said nothing.

"But you should stop those behaviors!"

"Be happy, Mary."

Bang!

The sky was lit up by fireworks.

"Mary..." All of a sudden, William turned around and hugged Mary. He was so desperate that he hugged her tightly. "We'll never see each other again," he choked.

"Yes." Mary let him hold her, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Pretend that you don't know me even if you meet me."

"Okay."

"Don't forget me."

"I won't." Tears kept streaming down her face. The pain made her heart sink.

Bang!

Colorful fireworks bloomed again.

He lowered his head and approached her slowly. William gently kissed her.

"Mary..." At last, William let go of her lips and touched her ear. He pulled off her hearing aid. "I love you," he whispered.

Mary felt his hot breath in her ear but couldn't hear what he said clearly.

"You can leave now, I'll see you go." William turned around and walked a few steps to the railing, looking at the sky in the distance.

With tears in her eyes, Mary stood up and left quickly.

This time, he didn't stop her.

It was summer now and the weather was getting hot.

In the evening of summer, people's night life had just begun. The night was full of romance and feasting.

At the gate of the Diamond Club in A City, the cars parked at the gate were even more dazzling than a car show. The music inside was so loud that it was almost deafening. Lucas frowned and was led by a waiter to the VIP room on the third floor.

"Come on, drink it! Drink it again!"

"Good girl, come here!"

As soon as Lucas opened the door, he saw the cups and dishes strewn about on the table. Several women with heavy makeup were sitting on the man's thighs on the sofa, flirting with him.

"Ah! Lucas, you are here!"

In the middle of the room, William was hugging two women. When he saw Lucas, his eyes lit up. "Come here!"

Lucas walked over with a cold face.
