Love Contract novel Chapter 226

In Kylin International Community.

William drove the car from the underground parking lot while Mary was sitting next to him. They were heading to their family house.

"Ha ha!" Mary laughed as she watched the reporters leave dejectedly. "You made them dismissed just by a phone call. You really are capable, aren't you?"

"Do you think you've found a treasure?" William turned around and looked at Mary

narcissistically.

"Don't flatter yourself." Mary glanced at him, dissatisfied.

William grinned and put his hand on Mary's, and squeezed it gently.

"Go away!" Mary pushed his hand away playfully. Suddenly, her phone rang unexpectedly.

"Who is it?" asked William.

"Shush." Mary took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. "It's Barry."

Touching his nose, William thought, 'Hasn't he given up after yesterday's dinner party and today's news?'

"Hello?" With a guilty conscience, Mary answered the phone.

"You finally turned on your phone, Mary," Barry said hastily.

"I... My phone ran out of power this morning." Mary bit her lips and stammered at her words.

"I see," Barry answered indifferently. Nobody could tell his emotion right now, not even Mary.

"Barry, I-"

"I heard that Alick and Elissa were picked up by their grandparents," Barry interrupted Mary before she could even find the words to say. "That's good. I happen to be very busy in the company these days. I don't have time to accompany them."

"Then," Mary said with a relief, "Then don't be so hard working. Take care of yourself too. The movie shooting is going to end soon. I'll be very busy as well. It would be nice to let the elderly watch the children."

"Yes, it is," answered Barry. "Take care of yourself too. I have to hang up now."

"Oh. Okay. Bye." She seemed dissatisfied with their conversation but she just nodded.

"You seem very disappointed!" While driving the car, William heard Mary's slight sigh. This made his heart feel a little unhappy.

"Not disappointed, but guilty." Mary's eyes darkened and she continued, "He has been with me for so many years. Whenever I think of it, I feel very sorry for him."

"I know." Hearing what she felt, William sighed. He knew what exactly she meant as he had the same feeling towards Frank.

"Oh my God! I feel so bad," Mary exclaimed as she buried her face in her hands,

"You can't be divided into two parts," said William, while holding her hand. "If only you have a sister, preferably a twin sister, then just let her be with Barry and everything will be fine.

"Ha ha." Mary rolled her eyes at him. "It's impossible. Go and get a clone. What a joke! Besides, if I had a twin sister, would you fall in love with her?"

William shook his head firmly and answered, "I like you, Mary Lu. Even if she were your twin sister with a similar face, how could I fall in love with her?"

"You are right. Barry has the same thoughts as you."

"You are right."

In the CEO's office of GM Universing Studios. After Barry hung up the phone, his assistant scratched his head and asked, "Mr. Gu, have we been busy recently? I don't think you have much work to do these days."

Barry suddenly raised his head and looked at Cooper sharply.

Cooper sensed a murderous look in Barry's eyes and an idea flashed in his mind. He quickly said, "Mr... Mr. Gu, I have something else to do. I'll go out first."

"Go." Barry waved his hand and dismissed him coldly.

With a click of the door closing, the office was quiet again.

Barry rubbed his eyebrows, leaned back heavily, and sat on his office chair dejectedly.

He did not know why, but when he heard Mary's voice with hesitation, his heart seemed to shatter in pieces. He was afraid that Mary would say something he could not bear so he could only choose to escape, the most cowardly way to defend his little selfishness.

Meanwhile, William and Mary arrived at the family house in R Town. When the two kids who were playing in the yard saw them, they immediately rushed over.

"Mommy! Dad!"
