Love Contract novel Chapter 302

"William, we should have an agreement," Mary suggested when she saw William walk into the ward.

"An agreement? " William stopped in his tracks with a look of apprehension in his eyes. He asked, "Are you being serious, Mary? What kind of agreement?"

Mary avoided his eyes and looked at the other women in the ward for support. The three women nodded in encouragement and urged her to continue.

"Um..." Mary squirmed and waved her hand to dismiss them. "Can you all leave us first?"

"Fighting, Mary!"

"Remember what we told you!"

"Stand your ground, Mary!"

The three of them made sure to remind her before leaving.

"What agreement are you talking about?" William asked as he sat down on the bed.

"Our relationship started with an agreement. It's time we made a new one. It will determine the fate of our relationship," Mary explained in a serious tone.

"Alright, let's hear it," William nodded. It was a reasonable request for him. "What would you like to put in an agreement?"

"I want to re-evaluate our relationship," Mary continued. "I can forgive you, but I think we should have some rules in place. Three don'ts if you will."

"Tell me about them," William said with an amused look on his face.

"Urn..." Mary was embarrassed to even have this conversation. She collected herself and said firmly, "We can't kiss, hug, or have sex with one another."

"What? No way!" William almost jumped out of the bed. "You've got to be kidding, Mary! Do you realize what you're asking of me? We can't kiss, hug, or have sex...? I can let the last go since you're pregnant. It makes sense, but I cannot agree with the first two. No way!"

"Then you give me no choice," Mary said, turning her face away from him. "These are my conditions."

"Mary, please..." William closed his eyes with a pained look on his face.

"I don't understand how you can say that you had been looking for me for four years when you hadn't been faithful to me during that time." Mary's eyes darkened. "I can't accept this."

"I don't know why I did that, Mary. I'm sorry." The pain he felt was evident in his voice. "I hit rock bottom during that time. I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought that doing that might ease the pain for me."

"Since when have you started..." Before Mary finished asking her question, William immediately understood what she meant and answered promptly,

"It started half a year after you disappeared," William said bitterly, recalling the painful memory. "I searched for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you. Then Andy took her chance..."

"I see," Mary interjected. She didn't want to hear any more details.

"Mary, I'm willing to spend my whole life atoning for my mistakes." William stretched a hand out to graze Mary's cheek.

"Don't touch me!" Mary moved away from his touch. "Remember the three don'ts."

William's hand froze mid-air. "Mary, I think we've talked through everything."

"Yes, we have," Mary nodded. "We've reached an agreement that we have to stick to. Later, I'll draw up a contract for you to sign, Mr. Lan."

William was rendered speechless at her coldness. "Great," Mary said merrily. "I didn't expect I would be the one saying that one day."

"Didn't you know that I would agree to whatever you requested?" William asked with a doting smile. "I'm at your disposal."

"It's not good enough for me." Mary shook her head. "This agreement is just the beginning."

"When will this agreement end?" William asked quietly, fully giving himself to her.

"Well," Mary finally said after thinking for a while. "The initial contract will last two years."
