Love Contract novel Chapter 90

The seaside villa of Frank was ablaze with lights both inside and outside.

The villa was already empty and it didn't help that Nancy had left too. Despite all the lights that were turned on, the loneliness could not be dispelled.

Frank cooked up a few dishes and had dinner alone.

He didn't know where Nancy had gone but there was no news of her which made him feel even more uneasy.

Since Timothy was back, he couldn't see William too. What kind of life was this?

At the thought of this, Frank hurled his fork across the table in frustration, losing his appetite.

Unable to stand it any longer, he took his phone out and dialed William's number.

"Hello?" William answered calmly.

"William, what are you doing?" Frank asked.

William coughed. "We're about to have dinner. How about you?" "I'm having dinner too."

"Why do you sound unhappy?"

"No, no," Frank denied. He took his lighter out of his pocket—turning it on and off. As he gazed at the flame, he added, "I'm just bored."

"William, dinner is ready! Aunt Amy's done cooking dinner. We're waiting for you!" Mary's voice could be heard from William's end of the line.

"I'm coming." Hearing this, William turned around and answered her.

"Go ahead," Frank urged. "Don't forget your medicine."

"Okay," William said after a pause. "Why don't you turn in early tonight? I'll come see you when I get the time."

"Okay." Frank hung up the phone, casually threw it on the table. Then he picked up a cigarette.

As he lit it up, it was the only sound that could be heard in the nearly vacant room. He inhaled the smoke from the cigarette, eyes partly closed.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Who could be visiting him at this hour?

Frank frowned, remaining motionless as the doorbell continued to ring.

Mildly irritated, he stood up in a huff and inhaled one last puff from his cigarette before throwing it out. He shoved his hands in his pockets as he made his way to the door.

Click!

Upon opening the door, he was briefly stunned. Then he sneered.

"Young master."

Five burly men stood outside his door, all dressed in black suits. The minute Frank came out, they respectfully bowed their heads and addressed him, "young master." They were the bodyguards of the Liang Family.

"What's up?" Casually leaning against the door, Frank crossed his arms over his chest and questioned, "Shouldn't you be in Japan with my father? What are you doing here?"

"Yes, young master. Master and madam are in Japan," the leader answered. "But master requested that you go to Japan with us."

"Oh?" Frank raised his eyebrows. "What if I don't want to go?"

"Master gave us strict orders. You need to come with us." The leading bodyguard bowed his head respectfully, neither humble nor pushy.

"What are you going to do? Tie me up?" Frank sneered.

"We're just obeying master's orders."

Frank narrowed his eyes dangerously. An ominous feeling crept up his chest. While he didn't exactly know why his father would want to take him back, he could already tell that there was something malicious going on. If he used force blindly, there was almost no chance of winning.

At the thought of this, Frank shrugged. "Okay, I'll go with you but you have to tell me why. I can't just go with you without knowing why."
