Love Contract novel Chapter 187

"Daddy Barry, I want a piggyback ride!" Elissa jumped onto Barry's back and pleaded with her big eyes. "Please!"

"Daddy Barry, I want to play it too!" Alick suddenly became playful as well.

"Okay, okay, but only one by one!" Barry held Elissa first and circled around the room. After a while, he let her ride on his neck and Barry ran around the hotel suite.

"Ha ha! This is so fun!"

"Daddy Barry, it's my turn now!" Alick pulled Barry's sleeve and yelled, "Elissa has been playing for a long time!"

"No! Don't stop! I want to play one more time!"

"Ha ha!"

The sound of laughter echoed in the suite. Even Mary could hear them clearly in the bathroom.

Ring! Ring!

All of a sudden, Mary's phone in her handbag rang.

"Shh!" Sweat trickled down Barry's forehead. He hurriedly put down the two kids and panted. "It's Mommy's phone call. Let's see who it is."

"Mary! There's a call for you. Can I take it out and have a look?" Barry asked towards the bathroom.

"Sure!" Mary's reply came with the sound of the running water.

After getting the permission, Barry opened her bag and took out her phone.

A strange number in A City...

"Daddy Barry, why don't you answer it?" asked Alick.

"There's no caller ID. Maybe this person dialed a wrong number." Barry frowned.

The phone kept ringing. Barry looked at it for a while and answered it. "Hello?"

"Barry Gu? You?!" A roar came from the other end of the line.

"Yes, it's me." Barry raised his eyebrow. He had already figured out who was on the other end of the line. He said indifferently, "Mr. Lan, it's so late. What's up?"

"Why are you holding Mary's phone? You know it's so late! Where is Mary? What did you do to her? Barry Gu!" William's roars continued so Barry moved the phone away from his ears. "Is that Daddy Lan?" Upon hearing this, Elissa cheered up immediately.

"Are Elissa and Alick with you too? Answer me!"

"Yes, they are." Barry nodded and continued, "We are staying in a hotel. Mary is taking a shower."

"What? What did you just say?" Hearing that, William almost sprang from his seat. His voice changed from anger to uneasiness and fear. "You are lying to me, aren't you? Answer me!"

"Daddy Barry, I want to talk to Daddy Lan on the phone!" Elissa requested as she tugged on Barry's sleeve. "Please."

Barry nodded at her and said to William on the phone, "Elissa wants to talk to you. Keep your voice down. Don't frighten her!"

"Thank you for your kindly reminder!" answered William sarcastically.

"Daddy Lan!" Elissa grabbed the phone from Barry's hand in excitement. She then called William with a sweet voice.

"Humph!" Alick glanced at his sister. He did not understand why she liked that man so much.

Barry frowned imperceptibly. It seemed that Elissa liked him more and more.

"Hey! My baby girl!" Hearing Elissa's voice, William suddenly became cheery especially when she called him "Daddy Lan" in a crisp voice. He felt his daughter's love from the bottom of his heart.

"Daddy Lan, I miss you so much!"

"Daddy also misses Elissa," sighed William. "But why did Elissa leave today?"

"Mommy said she would take Elissa and Alick to visit Grandma. She wouldn't let me call you."

Grandma...

The expression on William's face darkened. Were they going to pay respect to Mary's mother?

"Daddy Lan, why are you not talking anymore?" Elissa called him out a few times.

"Nothing," said William in a hurry. "Did you get tired from the trip, Elissa?"

"I'm not tired!" Elissa sat on the bed with the phone in her arms and began to chat with William, completely ignoring Barry and Alick in the suite.

"Where is your brother? Where is Alick?"

"Brother is playing with Daddy Barry."

"Oh." William felt a little disappointed. "Is he tired today?"

"Alick, Daddy Lan asked if you are tired."

Alick raised his head and glanced at Elissa coldly. "I don't want to tell him!"

"Alick! Bad boy!" Elissa pouted and said to William, "He didn't want to tell me."

"Okay." William nodded bitterly. He had heard everything.

"When will you come back?" asked William, changing the topic.

"I don't know."

"Then remember to miss Daddy Lan, Elissa!"

"Yes, I miss Daddy Lan so much!" Elissa added, "I want Daddy Lan to hold me to sleep."

"Be a good girl. When you come back, Daddy Lan will go see you!"

"Okay." Elissa nodded. "Daddy Barry will sleep with Elissa tonight."
