Love Contract novel Chapter 193

Sometimes I thought that if you didn't come back, I would live miserably all my life. I could not find you anyway."

"William, can I trust you again?" After hearing what he said, Mary said in a low voice, "It was just a marriage connected by a contract. How would you fall in love with me? Besides, I have been away for four years."

"Why not?" William rested his chin on her head and said slowly, "I fell in love with you at first sight. Eventually, I got to love you deeper and deeper but I was so stupid to notice."

"But, don't you love..." When Mary spoke, her voice was low. After crying so hard, she felt dizzy. Even though she was just standing, she felt so tired.

"No, I don't," sighed William. "I don't know what was wrong with me when I was young. How would I do such a ridiculous thing? I only treat him as my younger brother, Mary. Trust me. From now on, nothing would happen between me and him."

The two just held each other quietly in the balcony.

"Mary?" Hearing no response, William asked softly, "Are you sleeping?"

Mary's eyes were closed. Although she heard his voice, she was too tired to respond.

With a smile on his face, William picked Mary up in his arms and walked quietly to her bedroom.

After putting her on the bed, William kissed her forehead and the two kids'.

Gazing at the three who were sleeping, William wanted to hold them all in his arms.

They were his wife and children.

When he was about to get up, Alick suddenly opened his eyes.

William was surprised to see that he was still awake. He asked Alick softly, "Little guy, why are you still up?"

"I woke up when I heard Mommy crying." Alick's eyes lit up. "Mommy cried because she missed Grandma, right?"

"Yes." William touched his head gently.

However, Alick did not enjoy being touched by him so he frowned a little. "I heard Mommy saying she hates you."

"So you also hate me?" asked William with a bitter smile.

"I don't like you." Alick continued, "You did not care about me or my sister. I still don't want to admit that you are my father."

"Alick, you..." With his mouth slightly open, William asked in surprise, "You already know that I'm your father?"

"I asked Grandpa." Alick pouted and added, "And everyone says that I look like you very much. I've known the truth for a long time."

Hearing that, William felt a little excited. Although Alick did not like him yet, he knew that William was his father and that was enough.

"When I was a child, I looked exactly like you." Looking at his own 'mini version', William's eyes were full of fatherly love. "Do you want me to show you my photos some other day?"

"I don't want to see them." Alick turned his head away and said, "If you piss Mommy off and make her cry again, I'll fight you when I grow up. I'm good at fighting."

William smiled but he felt sad. "Why are you good at fighting?"

"Because I want to protect Mommy and Elissa. The children in the kindergarten bullied us. They said we did not have a father, so I beat them."

"Children in the kindergarten bullied you? Really?" Hearing this, William clenched his fists.

"When we first went there, some children bullied my sister! They said we had two daddies, but didn't have a father."

"But you have a father, Alick. I'm going to find those kids who bullied you and tell them that you have father! I am your father!"

"I don't want it!" Alick turned around with anger to avoid looking at him. "What's so good about you?"

"Then I will work hard in the future, okay?" William smiled bitterly. "What did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll change it, okay?"

Alick did not say anything more.

William waited for his answer, but he only heard Alick's shallow breathing. He could not help but shake his head and laugh. It was really like mother, like son. Both of them fell asleep while talking to him. He did not even know if they heard what he said or not.

Early the next morning, all of them gathered in Mary's room for breakfast.

"Last night, I woke up but I did not see you anywhere. Where did you go?" Lucas said to William.

Mary, who was holding a bowl, paused. Glancing at her either intentionally or unintentionally, William turned to Lucas and said, "Do I have to report to you every time I go to the toilet?"

"Humph!" Lucas gave him a cold look but said nothing. Alick was about to say something when he saw William put his index finger to his lips, making a "hush" gesture to him. Although Alick did not understand why, the young boy nodded and said nothing anyway.

Sitting aside, Barry clearly saw what happened between William and Alick. His eyes darkened at once.

At a seaside villa, A City.

Frank was sitting on the sofa, clutching his phone tightly. It was not until he got the call that he knew that William had returned to Mary's hometown with her.

His dear William, the one who had taken him to Norway when he was devastated, the one who went to Japan alone to take him back. Those good things that had happened between him and William had turned into the past.

"William, I still love you."

Many years ago, after his sister's death, he confessed his love to William.
