Love Contract novel Chapter 238

The family of four reached the 32nd floor shortly.

Jane, who had just come back to work after the marriage leave, jumped out of the desk excitedly when she saw Mary and the children.

"Mary, why are you here?"

"I just came here to have a look," said Mary as she nodded at Jane. "How have you been?"

As the two ladies greeted each other, William stood aside while holding the two kids in his arms.

"I am fine," Jane responded with a smile. "Mary, boss... Are the two kids in boss's arms your children?"

"Well... yes, they are." Mary nodded and said to the two kids, "Say hi to Aunt Jane."

"Hello, Aunt Jane."

"Aunt Jane, hi."

"Good boy! Good girl!" Jane said with a maternal look. "They are so adorable, Mary. This little boy looks exactly like boss! The little girl looks like you too! I'm so envious!" "If you are envious, you should work hard with Kevin!" Mary teased her, and laughed.

"Mary..." Jane whispered her name shyly.

"Dad, can I go out and play anywhere?" asked Elissa.

"Sure, but you have to stay on this floor only or you'll be lost." After putting Elissa down, William said to Alick, "Alick, go with your sister. Don't run or you'll get hurt."

"Got it!"

"Alick, you have to follow me. I've been here before," said Elissa proudly.

"Well, Mary, I won't disturb you," said Jane as she stroked her stomach. "I'm going to have lunch. I'm so hungry."

"Oh, right," said Mary, and she lifted the lunch box she was carrying. "Look, I brought this lunch. Have a taste of my cooking!"

"Wow, really? May I?" Jane's eyes lit up. "Then I must have a try!" When she was about to take it, a big hand snatched the lunch box away from her before she could even touch it.

With an unfriendly look on his face, William held the lunch box and said to Jane coldly, "You can go to the canteen to eat."

"William!" The corners of Mary's mouth twitched, and her face suddenly flushed. Jane was stunned. It took a few seconds before she was able to process what was happening. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll go to the canteen for lunch. Mary, I'm afraid no one else could have the honor to enjoy your lunch except boss!" With that, she ran away while giggling.

"Jane!" Mary called her again but Jane was already in the elevator.

"Let's go eat." Naturally, William took Mary's hand and led her to the lounge.

"You! You're so shameless!" Ashamed, Mary buried her face in her hands and cried out loud, "It's just a lunch, isn't it?"

"It's not a simple lunch." William smiled and said sincerely, "You brought it for me particularly. How can I give it to others?"

Mary was speechless. She did not expect his response.

The two kids were playing happily in the lounge. When they saw their parents come in, they just ignored them, busy with their game.

"It smells so good!" William opened the lunchbox excitedly, sat on the sofa, and began eating.

"Slow down." Mary ladled a bowl of porridge for him.

"No, I can't. It's too delicious." William shook his head. Looking at Elissa, he asked, "By the way, do you know that Elissa has been here before?"

"Of course I know." Mary nodded.

"You knew?" William's eyes widened.

"Yes." Mary nodded and explained, "Elissa said she came here to find Victor. When I found out that she had met you, I was shocked."

"Eh?" William curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about? Why were you shocked? At that time, I thought this little girl was very adorable so I carried her downstairs. Do you think it was a father-daughter connection?"
