Love Contract novel Chapter 57

When Mary left the city, she passed the main gym, where Victor was holding a meet and greet.

There were a ton of people and vehicles parked in front, and the gate was thronged with fans who couldn't get in. He was a star in the spotlight.

From where she sat on the bus, Mary couldn't see Victor. But she could see a poster of him which engulfed the entire wall.

"It's Victor!" The person in the seat behind Mary was loud. "He is so hot! I wish I didn't have class today. Otherwise I'd be there too!"

"I know, right? He's so handsome! It should be illegal to be that gorgeous!"

"Oh, my God! I love him so much! I'll see him next time if I get the chance!"

"Maybe, but I'll be the lucky fan who kisses him!

"Really?" The girl in the back seat suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! That would be so messed up. My prince charming! If he kissed me, I'd die happy!" Mary frowned. These girls were obsessed. It was just a kiss. She touched her lips. Mary didn't like the fact that he'd kissed her. But now, she couldn't do anything about it.

In fact, both Victor and William were beyond her reach. Mary had no right to be with either of them because she was just not good enough.

Despite the fact that she'd just been on the bus, Mary felt exhausted. Finally, she saw the light of the Kylin International, and she couldn't hold on any longer.

With a click, Mary opened the door to her home with her suitcase.

The light in the living room was on!

Mary stood at the door and didn't make a sound. Then she saw him. William was sitting on the couch! He got up, turned to her and put his hands in his pockets. He stared at Mary and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

He still looked cold, but also worn out and not well at all.

"Why... Why are you here?" Mary had a flash of innocence in her eyes. 'Was he waiting for me? Has he been here the whole time? Why?'

"What time is it now? Where else would I be? It's late. I'm home." Still, there was no expression on William's face.

"Don't you have your own villa?" Mary faltered. "Where I lay my head is home. I can live wherever I want!" William raised his voice.

"Well." The corners of Mary's mouth twitched, and she said unnaturally, "Yeah...okay... I'm going to bed. I'm beat, and I need to be up early."

Without waiting for an answer from William, Mary heard footsteps behind her. Surprised, she raised her head.

The tall figure of William walked towards her step by step. He was standing in her way. His slender fingers took the suitcase from her hand naturally.

She could feel his warm breath in her ear. "Go ahead," he said. "You..." Mary looked up at him in disbelief. How could William calm himself down so quickly and be so gentle?

"Didn't you say that we would live the duration of our contract peacefully?" Glancing at her, William turned and walked forward.

Mary should be happy, but why couldn't she smile? Something was not quite right about this.

Lying on the soft bed, Mary fell asleep soon enough. But after what seemed like an eternity floating in soft clouds, a knock on the door woke her up.

"Who's that? It's so annoying..." Mary murmured and wanted to go back to sleep, but she suddenly heard William's voice. "Mary, get up! You hear me?"

'I'm tired. What the hell does he want?' Mary got up immediately and opened the door with her sleepy eyes half-closed.
