Love Contract novel Chapter 224

When Mary woke up for the second time, she immediately noticed that the man who had slept next to her had disappeared.

"Ah!" Mary stretched her arms upwards with a loud yawn. She then reached for the alarm clock but she almost dropped it when she saw the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning!

She put her clothes on and slowly walked out of the room, wondering where William had gone. Would it have been better for her to run away while he was away?

This was the foremost thought in her mind as she opened the bedroom door with her intention to leave.

Click.

"I didn't realize that you've already woken up." William immediately rushed from the kitchen the moment he heard the door of the bedroom open. He asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I've slept long enough as it is. It's so late in the morning, it's almost lunchtime." Mary's cheeks reddened and she asked, "Are you cooking? Well, you shouldn't have bothered. I need to go now." "Where do you think you're going?" William grabbed her arm to stop her. "You're leaving after you have taken advantage of me?"

"I..." Mary glared sharply at him and said, "I'm the one who has been taken advantage of! Not you!"

"You!"

William sighed.

Both of them were left speechless as they realized the impact of Mary's words at the same time.

"Yes, I guess I have taken advantage of you," admitted William, as he encircled her waist with his arms to keep her close. "So, to make it up to you, I'll cook you some special porridge."

"I don't think porridge alone would be enough to take my mind off what you did," Mary whispered while she rested her face on his chest.

"Tell me what you want for brunch and I'll get it for you right away."

"Anything would be fine. Surprise me," Mary answered with a note of playfulness. "My stomach is grumbling. I'm hungry."

"Okay. I'll be back in a few minutes!" With a smile on his face, William stole a kiss from her. "Don't leave. Wait for me to come back!"

"Hmm. Okay." The door of the apartment was closed with a click. Mary shook her head while smiling.

She walked to the kitchen to cook a few dishes while William was out. To her surprise, the fridge was empty except for a few potatoes.

"Why are there only potatoes?" Mary picked them up and decided not to waste them.

After a while, William came back with lunch and excitedly opened the door of the apartment.

"You're back?" Standing in the kitchen, Mary heard the door open. "I'm cooking shredded potatoes. It's almost ready. Put the lunch you bought on the table first!"

Gazing at the figure who was cooking with an apron in the kitchen, William did not move for a long time.

'How long has it been?' Every time he came home, the room was always cold and empty.

But now, she was finally in front of him, so real, like a considerate wife, waiting for him, the husband, to go home. It was the happiness he had never dared to dream of in the past four years.

"There are only potatoes left in the kitchen," said Mary with her back to him. "I remember that you don't like food that is cooked outside."

Tears welled up in William's eyes. He put the lunch on the table, walked slowly to the kitchen, and hugged the woman from behind. He had missed this woman deeply and he had been wishing for this moment for years.

"Ah!" Mary was taken aback. "Why are you so quiet? Let go of me!"

Mary's face turned a little red. She could not adapt to such a sweet William.

"I just want to hug you," said William longingly.

"Wait until I finish cooking." Mary was cooking skillfully with an iron spoon and William watched her from behind.

"Your cooking skills have really improved!" Leaning his chin on her shoulder, William said in a sour tone, "Last time, the reason I was able to eat the chicken wing you cooked was because of Elissa." He suddenly pinched her waist and said, "How could you be so cruel?"
