Love Contract novel Chapter 390

By the time Mary woke up, it had been five days since she was kidnapped. William was still lying motionless on the bed. It didn't look like he was going to wake up any time soon.

For the past two days, Lucas and Archer stayed in the hospital and complained like fugitives. They told it to everyone, including Mary, who was still recovering and getting ready to be discharged.

"Jazlyn didn't inform me before acting. She just flew back to the US. Don't you think she was being unreliable?" Lucas complained again. Looking at his arm which was still hanging, he sighed. "The wound on my arm hasn't even healed! She just left me in the operating room!"

Mary pressed her lips together and laughed, "She even swatted a mosquito for you before she left!"

Lucas smiled awkwardly and quietly stared at her belly for a while. He placed his strong hand on it. "Dear little one, I can't wait for you to come out!"

Mary first acted surprised and then burst into laughter. Before she could say anything, the door was kicked open with a bang. Archer entered and stared at Lucas angrily. "Get your filthy hand off her! Do it now!"

Mary was startled. Lucas withdrew his hand reflexively. When he realized that he had been scared off easily, he became angry. He stood up in anger and faced Archer. "You brat! You freaked me out! It wasn't you that I touched, was it?"

Archer strode into the ward and walked to meet Mary. He put on a flattering smile and winked confidently. "Well, she is my sister-in-law. I promised Aisha that I would take good care of her and won't let a villain like you take advantage of her. I'm just keeping my promise. Isn't that right, Mary?"

Mary was amused by them. She simply answered him with a smile.

Glancing at the intruder with disdain, Lucas mumbled, "I think you're trying to find something on me so that you can report it to Aisha. And it's all in a bid to get something from her."

"Ha ha!" Archer sat on the edge of the bed and gently touched Mary's belly. "Whatever! Oh! My little nephew is bouncing in there!"

"Humph!" Lucas snorted and turned his face in the opposite direction.

Mary shook off Archer's hand protectively. "The baby is not yet born. Don't think you can just touch my belly anytime you want!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Archer stood up.

Lucas's phone rang just then.

He looked at it and hung up without picking.

"Who was that?" Both Mary and Archer were curious.

"My mother," Lucas answered helplessly. "She calls me every day. I can't bear her anymore!"

Mary and Archer exchanged knowing smiles. Archer said, "Your mother is just eager to meet her grandchild."

"But I don't have any grandchild to show her! That's all Jazlyn's fault!" Lucas continued to fume. "I have been trying to explain it to her for a long time now but she never listens. She always pressurizes me to return to the US."
