Love Contract novel Chapter 307

"I..." Mary blushed and faltered, "I didn't forget about them! It was an accident last night."

William got out of the bed. After a good night's rest, he looked so much better.

"Mary and I are in love with each other. Don't try to take us apart. How can you do this to your sister?" William said unhappily, "We're adults. We can resolve our own problems. Mind your own business."

"Wow! Look who's talking!" Aisha raised her head and added, "My sister's business is my business. I want to think about her happiness. I want her to stay away from you!"

"No way!" Waving his hand, William disagreed firmly. "I will be with Mary for the rest of my life. No one can stop us! Not even you!" Then, he looked at Mary affectionately.

Mary rubbed her forehead, still unable to make out of the morning feud.

If Aisha and William quarreled, which side should she take?

"You are just a talker. You always make my sister upset. I can't trust you easily." Aisha shook her head in disgust. "Okay," said William as he placed his both hands on his waist. "Then how can you believe me?"

"Make a promise." Aisha raised her eyebrows and stared at William, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity. She said word by word, "I want you to make a promise to my sister in front of everyone. As for the content of the promise, I think you should know."

"Okay, no problem." William nodded in agreement without any hesitation. "I'll tell you now then. I want—"

Mary looked at William and felt nervous.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" At this critical moment, Aisha suddenly interrupted him. She took out her phone and said, "Don't hurry. We need to wait for everyone else."

Hearing that, William was stunned. Who else should be here?

"Hello?" When William was in a daze, Aisha dialed the number. "Come here quickly. Yes, tell him, Barry and Selah as well."

After that, Aisha hurriedly made another call. "Jazlyn, yes, come to the hospital. Ask Lucas to come here with you."

Mary and William stared at each other. After Aisha made four or five phone calls, she finally stopped.

"Ugh. I'm so tired." What Aisha had just done made her very thirsty. She poured herself a glass of water and said, "Half an hour at most. We'll start when everyone is here."

Mary fully understood what Aisha was planning to do. "It's just a promise. There's no need for so many people, right? Why do you want to make it so grand? Isn't it too embarrassing?"

"Are you embarrassed?" Aisha turned to look at William and scoffed.

Shaking his head, William walked to the bedside and said, "I think Aisha's idea is really good. Mary. I will make a promise to you in front of everyone." Just as he finished speaking, he reached out for Mary's hand.

"Hey, your hand!" Aisha saw what he was about to do and slapped him away rudely.

William rolled his eyes at her and sat on the edge of the bed angrily.

Half an hour later, their friends arrived one after another.

Barry and Selah arrived first, together with Ray. A huge and unusual smile was plastered across their faces.

"Why did you call us here?" Barry asked, "We have to send Ray to school later. Will it be long?"

"Don't worry. It won't be long!" Shortly after, Lucas and Archer appeared together, and so did Victor, Ena, and Jazlyn.

At last, it was Timothy and Amy who came to the hospital with the two kids. They thought something had happened again and felt relieved when they saw that both William and Mary were fine.

"Such a big group of people," Lucas stood at a corner of the ward and said with a smile. "We are squeezing into this small ward like a board meeting. William, do you have something important to tell us?"

Hearing what Lucas said, everyone nodded and looked at William in confusion.

How Mary wished she could find a hole in the ground to hide herself. So many people stared at her, waiting to hear William's promise. Was it too ridiculous? 'My Lord!'

However, it was rare to see such a serious look on William's face. There was no embarrassment, but only affection in his eyes. "Today I asked you to come here because I want to make a promise to Mary while you witness. It's a promise for the whole lifetime."

Hearing this, Timothy nodded imperceptibly. Lucas even secretly stretched out his thumb to show encouragement to William.

The group of people held their breath and concentrated, waiting for what William had to say. "I have done a lot of wrong things to too many people before, including my father, Aunt Amy, and Victor. Many people were hurt by my stupid actions. But, the person whom I hurt most was Mary."

There was too much regret in William's voice. His serious eyes made Mary forget the embarrassment. She only listened to him patiently.

"In the four years when Mary was gone, I was overwhelmed with pain. I numbed myself with alcohol and women. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I know it's useless for me to say one thousand or ten thousand apologies. Nevertheless, I'm begging for Mary for forgiveness." After saying that, William took a glance at Mary and continued, "Mary, I really love you."

"Now, no one believes me and everyone doubts me. I deserve it." The ward was very quiet except for William's calm and firm voice. "So, I have to make a promise to Mary, and let everyone witness my true love for her."
