Love Contract novel Chapter 214

Mary came back after answering the phone. When she pushed the door open, she was surprised to see that all people in the ward were silent. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mommy, I want to marry Victor," Elissa said to Mary angrily, "but Dad wouldn't let me."

"No worries, honey. Mommy will let you marry Victor." Smiling, Mary held Elissa in her arms and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah! Mommy is the best!"

"Ha ha!"

"Oh, my silly daughter," said Lucas. "It's your mommy that Victor likes, not you. You still — "

Before Lucas could finish his words, William, who was lying on the bed, lifted his leg and kicked him on the buttock.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!" Lucas glared at him while William remained silent with a cold face.

"Alright, alright," said Mary while smiling. "You can play here. I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" "Mommy, where are you going?"

All of them asked all at once.

"I'm going to work!" Mary answered them naturally. "I've been in the hospital for days, and the movie shooting is coming to an end. I have to get back to work."

"So Mommy is going to see Victor?" asked Elissa.

"Yes, I am."

"I want to go too! Let me go with you!" Elissa raised her hand high. "I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"No, you can't go. Mommy's working place is too dangerous." Mary shook her head and added, "Have you forgotten that your brother got hurt there last time?"

"Ah!" said Elissa disappointingly. "Well then."

"How about this, I'll ask Uncle Victor to come see you some other day." Mary comforted her Elissa while stroking her hair.

"I just got off work, I can drive you there," Lucas said with a shrug. "I'm going the same way anyway."

"Okay." Mary nodded and put down Elissa. She then turned to Alick and kissed her son on the cheek. "Mommy's leaving," she said. "Bye, Mommy!" Alick kissed his mommy back. "Hey, hey, hey!"

All of a sudden, roars came from the sickbed. While staring at Mary, William gritted his teeth and said with a little grievance, "Mary, have you forgotten about me?"

"What?" Mary turned around and said, "Oh, right! You're sick. I'll go find Aunt Amy or Hester to look after the two kids. Have a good rest."

"You!" William's face went red with fury. "You haven't even said goodbye to me or asked for my permission!"

"Permission for what?" asked Mary with a blank look.

"I haven't agreed to let you go!" William sat up quickly from the bed, walked up to Mary, and held her hand. "I haven't even recovered. How could you leave me alone? Isn't Director Jamie on the set? You don't have to go there in person, Mary. Please stay with me."

"Of course I do. I have to watch my movie filming by myself," said Mary seriously. "Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" With his eyes wide open, William asked, "Why not tonight?"

"There is a night scene tonight. I have to stay up so I won't be able to come back until tomorrow. "Mommy, won't you come here tonight?" asked Alick.

"No, I won't," answered Mary. "Can you take Elissa to sleep with Grandma?"

"Okay." Alick nodded and added, "I'll miss you, Mommy."

"Good boy."

"I have a headache, Mary." William sat back on the bed in a fit of pique.

"Then I'll call a doctor." Mary crossed her arms and stared at him.

"I won't have dinner if you don't come back tonight!" William turned his head away and spoke threateningly.

"Dad, have a shame!" Hearing this, Elissa made a face and said, "Mommy said that a child who doesn't eat is not a good child!"
