Love Contract novel Chapter 398

In Kary Villa.

Mary and William got ready to go to Elissa and Alick's school to attend the parent-teacher conference.

"Time flies, doesn't it? Feels like it was only yesterday that they joined school, and now, they're already halfway through their first year. Makes me feel like I am so old," Mary said with a sigh, picking up her handbag.

"You don't look a day older than when I first met you. My wife will always be the same charming beauty that I met a few years ago," William said as he pulled her closer and kissed her.

Mary wrapped her arm around him and teased, "You're such a sweet talker! I'll represent Alick at the meeting today while you represent Elissa, okay?"

"Why? They're both in the same class, right?"

"Alick got the first place in the exam, and I want his teacher to praise me for raising such a smart boy!" Mary said proudly.

"Like father like son! Anyway, Elissa's grades aren't that bad. She is a girl, so she doesn't need to study all that hard. We'll always be here to support her," William said with a smile.

"Well... Can you say for sure that you will be able to support her throughout her life?" Mary asked.

"Just like I take care of you, Ray will take care of Elissa."

With a smile, Mary and William headed downstairs. Just when they reached the end of the flight of stairs, they heard a scream.

"Daddy!"

"What's wrong, my little princess?" William asked as he rushed to the living room and picked up his toddler daughter, Babe. "Why are you crying, what's wrong?"

"Don't go, Daddy!" Saying that, Babe burst into tears.

"Daddy is not going anywhere! I am just going to your brother and sister's school for a meeting. I will be back before you know it, okay?" William said lovingly.

Standing aside, Mary wondered, 'How could he be so close with her?' Ever since Babe was born, she had been spoiled by William. She could get anything she asked for and no one dared to refuse her. Mary couldn't bear to see them being so close, as if even a moment's separation would kill them.

"Are you coming or not, William?" she asked, looking at her watch.

"Let's take Babe along," he said. He had finally managed to pacify her and did not want to make her cry again.

"Don't you dare, William! Put your daughter down, now! If you don't stop this, then I am going to the meeting by myself," she said sternly.

Upon hearing that, Babe began wailing again. She sniffled, pouted, and said, "Mommy is a bad person!"

"Don't cry, please," William said, stroking her head.

All of a sudden, they heard a car honking outside. They immediately understood that Barry and Selah had grown impatient waiting for them. Mary stomped her feet and asked, "Are you going to come now or not? I am not going to wait another minute for you!"

William did not know what to do. "How about you go there first and I will come join you later?” he asked.

With a heavy sigh, Mary rubbed her forehead and said with disappointment, "You're unbelievable, William!" Shaking her head, she walked out of the house.

Just outside the villa was Barry and Selah's car. Elissa and Alick sat in the back, happily playing with Ray.

"What's taking them so long?" Selah asked, feeling bored.

"They must have been stuck. I think Babe is pestering William to stay with her," Barry replied.

Covering her mouth, Selah giggled. "You're probably right! William loves her too much. He won't leave her side for even a second."

Barry leaned closer to her and said in a low voice, "If I had a daughter, I would also spoil her. When are you going to give me a daughter?"

Selah immediately blushed. She then punched him on the shoulder and said, "Stop kidding!"

"I was very serious about it. No jokes, I promise! We have two sons, but no daughters. We need to work on having a daughter once we get home tonight," he said, leaning on her shoulder.
