Love Contract novel Chapter 253

"Dad said he wanted to cook for Mommy, and he accidentally cut his finger."

"Cut your finger? Show me your wound! Let me have a look!" Mary said frantically. She felt extremely nervous and anxious if he was indeed wounded deeply.

William stretched out his left index finger to show Mary. Seeing that Mary had a nervous look on her face, he felt happy but he still pretended to be hurt. "Mary, it hurts. Hiss! What should I do?"

"Of course it hurts!" Mary looked at the horizontal wound on his finger and said distressingly, "Why did you suddenly decide to cook by yourself? Can you even cook?"

"I pissed you off so I wanted to please you," answered William in a sour tone. "Didn't Barry do this before?"

"He's different from you," said Mary, who pulled William to the living room as she took the medicine box. "He didn't usually piss me off."

William fell silent.

Mary treated William's wound gently and carefully. Her hands were so light it was like a feather touching his finger. The gentle look on her face reminded him of the past.

"Mary," said William all of a sudden as an idea popped up in his mind, "shall we go out and have fun?"

"It's so late," answered Mary without even raising her head. "I'm already tired. Where would we go anyway?"

"We can go anywhere you want. Don't worry, I won't make you tired."

"Doesn't your finger hurt?"

"It's not a big deal!"

"Didn't you cry out of pain just now?"

"Well," William said in a flattering tone. "My darling helped me bandage my wound. It doesn't hurt anymore! Darling, I'll take you out to have fun!"

"Dad, I want to go too!" Elissa approached them restlessly.

"I'll come with you too!" Alick raised his hand as if answering her teacher. "How can Dad only take Mommy out for fun?"

"I promise to take you out next time. For now, I'll only take your mommy." William pulled Mary while grinning. "Go change your clothes. I'll take you out." Mary smiled and asked, "Where are we going? It makes me little curious about it!"

"Change your clothes if you are curious then."

"Humph! Dad is unfair!" Elissa pouted and crossed her arms in protest.

"I will do the same to my wife in the future!" Alick jumped onto the sofa while smiling broadly.

"Then Victor will do the same to me in the future," Elissa said as she walked up to her brother's side.

William did not know how to react. It seemed that Victor was still the choice of Elissa.

As the kids discussed their future plans to William, Mary was dressing up in her room. After a while, she came down wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes. "Let's go. I'm ready," she said to William, who was patiently waiting for her.

William turned his head and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw her. Like a college student in the campus, she looked simple, pure, and lovely.

"Why are you staring at me? Are my clothes inappropriate for our destination?" Mary felt embarrassed. "I just feel tired after wearing high-heeled shoes all day long. Should I go change them?"

"No, no, no. You look fantastic!" William stopped her right away as she was about to head back to the room. "It's just that you look so wonderful. I could not help but stare at you."

"Sweet talker!" Mary said as she started to walk out of the villa. "Hurry up. I have to go to work tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay! Wait for me!" William hurriedly went out to catch up with her.

Outside the garage, Mary was waiting for William to pick the car they were going to use. "Are you not ready yet?"

"Almost!" William answered in the garage. After a while, he "drove" a "car" out.

Mary was surprised to see that William had picked the tiny pink electric scooter for their date.

"Well?" Mary stared at the vehicle. She was stunned to see it again. "How could this be? Isn't this my electric scooter from many years ago? Why is it here?"

"Yes, it is. I brought it when we moved here." William patted on the seat proudly. "It used to be in Kylin International."

"Why do you still keep it?"

"I keep everything that has something do with you." William looked at Mary with passionate eyes. "I was also shocked when I saw this electric scooter for the first time. I didn't know you had such a 'car'. After you left, I often saw young women drive a scooter similar to this one on the streets. I imagined how you would have driven it. The thought of it made me laugh out loud. Just imagining you driving this made me feel that it must have been interesting to see it with my own eyes. But the more I laughed, the sadder I became for I had lost you."

"Stop it." Mary lowered her head as she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

"Mary, I cherish your return to me," William said seriously. "If I do something that makes you unhappy, I will try my best to make up for it. I swear I will never do it again. If you want to vent your anger, scold me, beat me, or hurt me. But I'm begging you, don't run away again. I can't live without you."

"If you do something excessive, shouldn't I run away?"

"What do you mean by something excessive?"

"What do you think?" Raising her eyebrows, Mary said half-jokingly, "Men like you always go too far with women. Isn't that right? From now on, don't have any intimate contact with other women, or else I won't forgive you!"

The corners of William's mouth twitched. "What if I did something excessive before?"

"No way!" Mary immediately looked up to him while glaring. After saying that, she was stunned and asked in confusion, "William, what did you mean by that? Have you ever gone too far with a woman before? Didn't you say it was just a show?"

"No! Of course not! I was just asking! There is no woman problem anymore. You are the only one in my life!" William switched the topic quickly. He sat on the scooter and urged Mary to ride with him. "Mary, come on. I'll take you for a ride!"

"Can you ride it?" Mary asked suspiciously.

"Mary, are you looking down on me?" William raised his eyebrows and added, "Don't worry. We won't have a problem with this!"
