Love Contract novel Chapter 394

"Aisha, let's get married!" Archer stared at Aisha expectantly.

"Get married, you say?" Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared into his eyes. Wasn't everything too sudden? She didn't even have the chance to prepare anything!

"I didn't expect that I would remember the unexpected kiss I had many years ago for so long," said Archer. His charming blue eyes exuded a tender light. "I've seen many women of all kinds in my lifetime, and I've never found anyone who made me want to settle down. But you're the only exception, Aisha!"

"There's nothing that I can offer you, Archer."

"You don't have to give me anything, because I don't want anything else! I only want you." Archer embraced her and pulled her closer into his arms. He didn't know what pressure his family would put on him tomorrow. All he wanted to do right now was to protect the woman before his eyes.

Her tense body relaxed all of a sudden. She nestled in his arms and asked in a soft voice, "Are you sure you want to get married?"

"I do," he answered concisely.

"Then let's get married!" Aisha closed her eyes and whispered, "It's exhausting being a police officer. My life will be so much easier if you're going to take care of me, right?" "Of course! After we get married, you can just stay at home and do nothing. I'm going to support you." Archer was overwhelmed with happiness when he said those words. His lips curled into a wide grin and he couldn't stop smiling.

"From now on, you're not allowed to perform in erotic scenes and expose too much skin during photo shoots for magazines!"

Archer giggled. "How did you even know that I've taken such photos for magazines?"

"I didn't. I just guessed!" she answered fiercely. Then, she asked, "Can I go back to A City? I wanna live with my sister, and feel the familial affection that I've never had the chance to enjoy for the past thirty years of my life."

"Of course, darling. No problem."

"Then, should we get married tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

The sound of honking cars, laughing children, and the loud ding of the church bell nearby could be heard.

Lucas opened his eyes and felt the warm sunlight on his face. All the subtle noises and the greeting from the sun told him it was morning. Where was Jazlyn? He lazily turned over, but he was caught off guard. He fell from the edge of the bed all of a sudden, and yelled out his first curse word of the morning. "Ouch! God damn it!

All his senses were completely awakened. Lucas grabbed the quilt and lifted himself up. His face was full of anger and malice, but when he looked at the bed again, he noticed that Jazlyn was still sleeping peacefully. All his negative emotions disappeared immediately, and he was in a better mood.

Jazlyn only seemed like a real woman when she was sleeping!

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang, which left Lucas dazed. He was wondering if Aisha had come back. He climbed onto the bed and nudged Jazlyn. "Hurry! Get up! Somebody's at the door!"

"Ah... What did you say?" Jazlyn rubbed her eyes as she tried to get up. "What time is it? Who's at the door?"

"I have no idea, but the doorbell rang!"

"You should open the door. Boss has a key, so it's probably not her." Jazlyn yawned and said, "Maybe it's just the landlord, asking for the utility check."

Lucas kissed her forehead and got up. "Then, I'll open the door. You can come out once you've put on some clothes!"

"Okay," Jazlyn nodded in agreement. She closed her eyes again and curled her lips.

"La la la..."

Lucas wrapped a bath towel around his waist, humming a song as he went to the door.

"Click!"

"Good morning- Mom? Dad? What the hell? What are you two doing here?”

"Hmm? What?" When Jazlyn heard Lucas's scream from inside the bedroom, she abruptly sobered up and jumped up from the bed with her eyes wide open. 'Dad and Mom?'

At the door of the apartment, Lucas and his parents were staring at each other. "Am I still asleep? Am I dreaming? What are you two doing here? How did you even find this place?"

"We're here to see our daughter-in-law!" Lucas's mother looked at him slyly. She glanced at his naked body up and down and grinned impishly. "Well done! You really deserve to be my son! It wasn't a waste that your father and I came all the way from Los Angeles last night!"

"What the..." Lucas's mouth began to twitch.

His mother stood on tiptoes and swept her eyes across the living room. She pulled her husband and said to Lucas, "Step aside! I want to go inside." Then, she pushed Lucas aside and squeezed past him.

Just then, Jazlyn ran out of the room wearing a tank top, shorts, and flip flops. "Lucas, who was it?"

Lucas's mother's eyes gleamed. She ran towards Jazlyn, held her hand, and stared at her from head to toe. "Ah, so you're Jazlyn, aren't you? You're so beautiful! Call me Mom!"

Jazlyn muttered reflexively, "Mom... Mom?"

"That's right! Good girl!" Lucas's mother quickly pulled Eugene closer to her and introduced him. "This is Dad!"

"Dad... Dad?" Jazlyn's mind was like a clean slate. She was just parroting whatever they were saying.

"She's a good girl!" Eugene said, satisfied.

Lucas quickly hid Jazlyn behind him. He was both amused and speechless. "Why did you tell her to call you Mom and Dad? You're scaring her! You two... You still haven't told me why you're here!"

"I've already told you! We're here to see our daughter-in-law!" Lucas's mother raised her head and reached her hand out. She tilted her head and waved at Jazlyn. "Hi!" she said with a smile.
