Love Contract novel Chapter 185

"Mommy, I want to sleep with Daddy Lan tonight, " Elissa suddenly said.

"No way!"

Four voices of objection rang out at the same time. Their eyes fixed on William.

William was taken aback by their fierce reactions. The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Why not? Hmm?" Elissa slid down from the chair and ran up to be cradled in William's arms. "You're all a bunch of meanies!"

"Uncle Lan is our guest," Mary said sternly. "He came to visit our house only for dinner. Uncle Lan needs to go back to his own house to sleep. Don't be so stubborn, Elissa."

"But..."

"No but..." Mary said resolutely. "Uncle Lan is not Daddy. Don't call him Daddy. Elissa, go upstairs with Mommy or I'll only take Alick with me and abandon you."

"Waah..."

It was the first time her mother had threatened her like this. Elissa was frightened and closed her eyes as she cried loudly.

"Elissa, don't cry!" William hurriedly wiped Elissa's tears.

"Mommy... I want Mommy..." With her hands wide open, Elissa looked in Mary's direction.

Mary's heart ached. If there was anything she could do, how would she have threatened her lovely daughter?

At this moment, William walked to Mary with Elissa in his arms.

Mary couldn't refuse. She quickly took the little girl and held her in her arms. "There, there, Elissa. Be a good girl, okay?"

"Mommy, waah..." Elissa hid herself in Mary's arms. "Don't you like me anymore?"

"Mommy likes Elissa." Mary rubbed her head. "Of course I like you."

"Don't you like Daddy Lan?" Elissa whimpered.

"I..." After a while, she looked around, seeming to search for the answer to her question.

"Why won't you let me play with Daddy Lan and sleep with him?" Elissa said as tears streamed down her face. "I like Daddy Lan..."

Barry's mind was in a mess when he heard that Elissa liked William and tried her best to defend him. In just a few days, Elissa had already recognized him as her daddy. What could happen next? And how about Alick? Would he do the same? Would Mary's heart unknowingly fall back to him?

"Can't Daddy Lan be with me for just a little while?" Elissa begged.

"You need to go to bed soon." Mary shook her head.

"I can stay with Elissa for a while and leave after she falls asleep," William said abruptly.

"Yeah! Daddy Lan is awesome!"

Mary shot him a murderous look. William cleared his throat as he stared at her. If he could stay with his daughter for a little while longer, he wouldn't care even if he looked desperate.

"Daddy Lan said it's okay." Elissa leaned her head on Mary. "Mommy, is that okay?"

"Ask your Daddy Barry. This is his house," Mary said crossly.

"Daddy Barry..." Elissa pouted and acted like a spoiled child.

"Okay." Barry nodded. "But Elissa, you have to promise that you will listen to Mommy in the future and don't make her angry."

"Yes, yes!"

"Besides, you can't keep playing all the time. You have to sleep."

"Okay!"

"Then go ahead," Barry said with a smile. "Be a good girl, okay?"

"Okay!"

Elissa nodded hard and clung to William's arms. The two went upstairs, talking and laughing.

Lucas felt sad as he watched the scene unfold. "I'm going upstairs to sleep."

"Hello?" Mary called him out. "Haven't you moved out?"

"Elissa doesn't like me anymore. I'm so sad that I can't walk home. I can only sleep here..."

"Gee..." Mary rubbed her temples.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Seeing her reaction, Barry massaged her back gently.

"No, I'm not." Mary shook her head and stared at him. "Why did you ask William to stay?"

"Elissa likes him." Barry smiled bitterly. "If I don't allow him to stay, wouldn't Elissa hate me? Besides, they are related by blood..."

"You... Don't have to do this." Mary was so shocked. "I... I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I can just move out with Alick and Elissa, so that you. "Don't be silly!" Barry interrupted her. His face darkened and he was a little worried. "Are you going to leave me again? Are you starting to hate me?"

"Of course not!" Mary shook her head. "I just feel that I've brought you too much trouble. I got used to relying on you and you taking care of me. I feel guilty that I took you for granted..."

"I love you. I don't mind that you rely on me and take me for granted. It's fine." Barry hugged Mary gently. "Don't move out. I want you to stay with me forever."

"Please don't go."

"Well... Okay, I won't leave."

William was tasked by Elissa to retrieve the teddy bear that she had left in the living room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw the two hugging each other on the bottom of the stairs.

Barry was facing the stairs and saw William. He smirked as he hugged Mary tightly.
