Love Contract novel Chapter 257

"How did it go?" Archer asked as soon as he saw the two women coming out.

"Not bad." Aisha shrugged and answered, "I just got shocking news."

"What's wrong?"

"What news?"

Mary and Aisha's companions asked in unison.

"It turns out that I'm Mary's younger sister," Aisha said with a sad face.

Others stood frozen to the spot. That was it?

Mary smiled and shook her head. "What's wrong with being a younger sister? I'll take care of you from now on."

"You take care of my little nephew and niece." Aisha grinned wickedly and added, "And my brother-in-law, William. That's enough!"

Brother-in-law?

Hearing that, William raised his eyebrows. Yes, it was a good title!

Mary blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Get in the car now."

"Ha ha! Okay!"

When William was about to get in the car, Archer stopped him in tracks.

"What are you doing?" William was stunned and confused as to why Archer suddenly stopped him.

Staring at him for a long time, Archer finally laughed heartily and addressed him, "My dear brother-in-law!"

William almost burst into laughter. He glanced at Archer up and down and snorted, "It's too soon for you!"

"I haven't agreed yet!" Aisha walked over and glared at Archer unhappily.

"Well, didn't we make an agreement last time?" Archer followed her pitifully.

"When? I don't remember!"

"Aisha!"

After getting in the car, William saw Mary, who was gazing at Aisha worriedly. "What's wrong?" he asked with concern.

"Hmm?" Mary came back to herself and smiled at him. "Nothing, nothing."

"Mary, are you hiding something from me?" With a puzzled expression on his face, he looked at Aisha as well. "What did she say to you? Or did anything else happen in your father's house?"

"I just feel sorry for her. That's all." With a bitter smile, Mary repeated what her father had told her, only leaving out the part about Aisha's identity.

"It's not your fault," William gently held her hand and comforted her. "Don't worry too much."

"I know."

Few minutes later, several cars sped back to the hotel at once. Tomorrow would be the death anniversary of Mary and Aisha's mother. They had to go back to the hotel to get ready.

When William drove past a forest of Ostmanthus trees, Mary suddenly shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car!"

"What's wrong?" Without even waiting for her answer, William pulled up at the side of the road.

"These are my Osmanthus trees. I want to go there and have a look." Leaning against the window, she stared at the forest with yearning.

"I'll go with you." After saying that, William took out his phone and called Lucas to tell him that something came up and they should go back to the hotel first.

Meanwhile, Mary opened the door and got out of the car happily, like a cheerful bird.

With one hand in his pocket, William followed and looked at her leisurely. The corners of his mouth curved upwards into a dreamy half-smile.

"This is very close to your home."

"Yes!" Mary nodded, turned around, and asked, "How do you know that?"

"I come here every year to pay homage to your mother. Every year, I pass by this forest," replied William with a smile. "I just didn't expect them to be your Osmanthus trees."

"I sold it before. But Victor bought it back. I — "
