Love Contract novel Chapter 243

The trees were lush that they provided shade all over the place, the birds were happily chirping, and the flowers engulfed the place with their flowery fragrance.

Mary stood at the entrance of the park and stopped from time to time to appreciate the fragrance of flowers. Just as she was about to call Victor, he sent her a message first.

"Walk along the stone road then turn left at the first intersection. You'll see me there."

Mary was puzzled. However, wearing her high heels, she did as she was told.

The further she went, the thicker the fragrance from Osmanthus trees became.

"Are there Osmanthus trees here?"

When she turned left at the first intersection, Mary saw Victor with his back to her. To her surprise, he was standing under an Osmanthus tree. Hearing the sound of Mary's high heels, he turned around and smiled warmly at her. "Here you are."

"Hi. Victor, I'm here." Mary nodded and asked, "How'd you know there are Osmanthus trees here?" "I saw them by accident. I just wanted you to come and have a look." Victor's smile deepened as he spoke. "Unfortunately, these trees are not as good as those in your hometown. The fragrance is impure, and even the branches and leaves are not as thick as the ones in your hometown."

"Yes. At this time," Mary looked around the place and continued, "the Osthmanthus flowers in my hometown must be blooming ready. It's a pity that I haven't been back to see them for so many years."

As Victor gazed at Mary, his heart softened. He saw that her appearance remained unchanged even after four years. He recalled the time when they were standing under an Osthmanthus tree and he took a picture of her secretly. It was such a beautiful memory.

Mary watched as he pulled out something from his pocket. It was a title deed for a land. "Here you go," said Victor as he handed it to Mary.

"Eh? What's this?" With a puzzled look, Mary took it and opened it quickly. Upon seeing what was on the paper, she gasped in surprise. "This is... This is the land I sold in Z City. You... When did you buy it?"

"Many years ago," Victor answered with a smile. "You..."

"I said I would buy it back for you." Victor pursed his lips and continued, "I've kept that title deed in my pocket all the time, even on the first day of shooting. I wanted to find a chance to give that to you. I was actually surprised when the shooting had ended before I could even give that to you."

"This is too expensive!" Holding the deed in her hand, Mary felt scared. She was about to hand it back to Victor when he spoke again.

"In my heart, there is nothing more valuable. It's just my gift for you." Victor smiled at her

lovingly and said, "You have to take it. You can just give me more money when you get the

bonus from the movie."

Staring at the heavy piece of paper in her hand, Mary responded, "Victor, I really don't know how to repay you for what you have done."

"Repay... You know what I want," said Victor

bitterly.

"Victor, Ena is a good girl. Since she—"

"Stop!" Victor interrupted her coldly. "No matter how good Ena is, I don't like her. Please just stop. Besides — "

"Victor," said Mary with a frown, "that's the

truth. You should understand that you are a good man, but I don't like you either! We can only be friends and we can't go any further than this."

Victor clenched his fists, but loosened them right away. "William... I have already accepted him." Upon saying these words, Mary found herself smiling and at ease.

Victor saw the way she smiled. It was different and full of love. She had never smiled at him that way. This made his heart feel desolate and grim. In fact, he knew he should have given up a long time ago.

Squeak! Meanwhile, a sports car suddenly came to a halt just outside the park.

"Ouch! I can't take it anymore! My stomach hurts!" The woman in the passenger's seat looked a little pale. Her forehead was beaded with cold sweat which made her hair stick on her forehead. Surprisingly, her face was just like Mary's.

"Boss," said Jazlyn, who did not know whether to laugh or cry at her boss's misfortune, "there must be something wrong with the ice cream you ate last night. There is a public toilet in the park. You should go now!"

"Bullshit! Cut the crap! It can't hurt at this time. Oh no! I need to go! Wait for me!" As soon as she said that, she got off the car while clutching her stomach.

"You asked me to come here this afternoon to talk about the contract signing," Mary reminded him coldly. "If there is nothing else, I'll go now. But Victor, we're still friends."

With that, Mary turned around and left in a hurry. Victor swallowed hard and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. He wanted to chase her and apologize, but his legs did not seem to work at the moment. The meeting was so short. He blew his opportunity up, and Mary left in less than three minutes. He wondered if he was indeed a failure.

'No, I'm not. I'll fight again, even for the last time.'

At the thought of this, he finally had the courage to chase after her, so he did. However, as he turned around the corner, he saw Mary coming back.

"Don't go." Without any hesitation, Victor pulled her into his arms and said painfully, "I don't want to give up. I don't want you to leave."

What happened?

The woman looked at Victor in confusion. When she saw him, her eyes lit up. It was a handsome man again, and he looked familiar! What kind of luck did she have recently? Handsome men threw themselves at her one by one! 'Are you going to be in love, Aisha? Ha ha!'
