Love Contract novel Chapter 165

It was said that July 2 would be a lucky day this year. That was the best time to get married for that was the season when many kinds of flowers would blossom.

Muse Manor was full of guests and people were full of joy. A grand wedding ceremony was about to take place.

The bride was Jane and the groom was Kevin.

Wearing a red dress with her hair in a bun, Mary walked into the party, arm in arm with Barry.

"Kevin!" Mary rushed to the entrance. "Congratulations!" she greeted with a smile.

"Mary, thank you!" As soon as Kevin saw Mary, thousands of emotions surged up in his heart. "Long time no see. How have you been?"

"I'm doing great!" Mary nodded enthusiastically. She held Barry's hand and introduced him to her friends. "This is Barry Gu."

"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Gu!" Kevin stretched out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, too." Barry shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Congratulations." "Thank you."

Mary was about to say something when she felt that someone was staring at her. She quickly looked up, only to see the people who were greeting each other. Moreover, she did not know any guest, and the burning stare just now was also gone.

Not far away, Beth stood beside William while holding his arm. She noticed that William was absent-minded and he kept glancing at the entrance as if he was waiting for someone.

When people came and went, he would gaze somewhere without saying a word.

"Mr. Lan..." Beth wanted to say something, but William, who was standing next to her, suddenly turned his back to the entrance, looking a little panicky.

She curiously looked at the entrance and spotted a red figure right away. Her eyes flashed with hatred and loathing.

"Mr. Lan, didn't you divorce her?" Beth asked while frowning, "What's so good about that woman?"

William's eyes suddenly narrowed. He turned his head and smiled, but his eyes were extremely frightening. "If you say one more word, I'll send you to Diamond Club. You must be most popular there. What do you think?"

Beth's face suddenly turned pale. As a popular star, how could she accompany those bald and beer bellied bosses?

"Mr. Lan, I..."

"I don't like women who talk too much." With his hands in his pockets, William walked forward slowly.

At the entrance, Mary pushed Barry a little bit and asked, "Where is the lucky money pack?"

Barry took out the lucky money with a smile and said to Kevin, "This is from me and Mary. I hope you two live happily ever after."

"Thank you," Kevin replied with a smile.

"Only one pack," said Mary while smiling. "Would you mind?"

"Of course not!" Kevin just smiled. It was a tradition to give a couple one pack anyway.

"We'll go inside then!"

"Okay." Kevin nodded and said, "Please make yourself at home. I'll go find you after everything is done here."

"Don't be so formal with me, okay?" said Mary with a smile. "See you later."

"Sure."

The wedding site was decorated with colorful flowers. On both sides of the long red carpet stood white pillars with garlands. At the end of the red carpet was a white arch, where the bride and groom were going to say their vows.

"It's so beautiful!" When she spoke, a hint of yearning was evident in her voice.

Barry stared at her face and held her waist gently. "If you want, I can hold a wedding more beautiful than this."

"Mr. Gu, are you proposing to me now?"

"Can't I?" Barry asked with a smile.

"It's too hasty!" Mary glared at him. "I'm rejecting your proposal right now."

"Then I'll be more serious next time," said Barry and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Can you be better mannered? We're in public!" Mary's face turned red, but she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"So what?" said Barry arrogantly.

Mary almost choked at his comment. She shook her head. "Stop being so naughty. I'm going to see the bride."

"I'll go with you."

"Keep dreaming!" Amused, Mary continued, "The bridegroom hasn't seen the bride yet, but you'll see her first? Just walk around here by yourself. I'll be back soon." "Fine." Barry reluctantly nodded and watched Mary turn left and right until she disappeared.

When he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a strong hostile glare.

Barry frowned and looked in the direction of the stare. At a glance, he saw William with his sharp eyes focused on him.

William was looking at Barry with his dark eyes. His lips were pursed and he looked solemn. Even though he was standing in the middle of the crowd, he still looked outstanding.

The two men held a staring contest in secret.

"Hey! Do you always feel jealous when you see two people flirting?" Lucas came out of nowhere and handed a glass of cocktail to William.

Hearing that, William came back to his senses, took the wine from Lucas, and nodded at Barry in the distance.

Barry nodded back slightly. Meanwhile, Lucas greeted Barry warmly as if he was one of his family. However, Barry just looked at him disdainfully and turned his head away.

"Humph!" Lucas rolled his eyes at him.

"Why are you here?" William looked at Lucas, as if he were looking at a monster.

"Am I not allowed here? I gave the new couple lucky money as well." Lucas looked around. "Where is Mary? I haven't seen her."

"She went to the dressing room at the back. Maybe she went to Jane."

"Holy!" As soon as William finished his words, Lucas shouted, "Why do you care about her so much? How do you know her whereabouts so clearly?"

"Ahem!" William choked on the wine and his face turned red. "It just happened that I saw her go."

"What a coincidence!" Raising one of his eyebrows, Lucas continued, "Are you here for the same purpose as mine?"
