Love Contract

Chapter 227 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part Two)

"Ha ha!" Timothy waved his hand and laughed. "Yes, that's true. Mary, I don't blame Elissa. She is my precious granddaughter. I'm willing to tear this place down if she says so."

Hearing that, Mary opened her mouth but she could not find any words to say. She looked at William for help. She thought that in this way, the kids would be spoiled soon.

William gave her a reassuring look, stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Father!"

"Oh," Timothy snorted, "you're here too?"

"Haha!" Mary lowered her head and chuckled.

"Ahem." William coughed awkwardly. He was embarrassed.

"Dad, I want to see Grandpa's calligraphy!" Elissa said as she struggled to get out of William's arms.

"Me, too!" Alick followed her.

Looking at the two kids admiring his calligraphy, Timothy slowly walked over.

"I'm going to prepare dinner," said Amy. "I'll help you." As she spoke, Mary followed her to the kitchen.

Timothy nodded and then said to William, "Why are you here? Why don't you enjoy the world of you and Mary only like last night? Do you want to take Alick and Elissa back? I won't agree!"

"Ahem." Mary was still in earshot when Timothy spoke. Hearing his words made her blush so she quickened her pace.

"Ahem." William also coughed because of embarrassment. "What's wrong with me coming to see my children? What's wrong with me taking them back?"

"Do you have time?" Timothy glanced at him and added, "You just took over the dock business. Can you take care of them?"

"Yes, you're right. I'm not as leisurely as my father," William answered with hidden meanings. He looked at the desk in front of the French window and asked, "Father, have you moved the whole study to the living room?"

"I had no choice. The two kids don't like to go to the study, so I moved it here." Timothy looked lovingly at the two kids playing at the desk and added, "Mary has made a great contribution to the Lan Family. As a father, I should express my gratitude to her."

"She won't take it," said William. The bank card his father gave Mary back then was still in Kylin International, unused. "It's Mary's business whether she wants it or not, but whether I give it or not represents my own attitude." Timothy waved his hand and said to William, "Don't wander around in front of me. You are too boring. I'll go find Elissa and Alick."

"I'm boring." William scoffed but did not say anything else.

"William." While William was thinking what to do, Mary suddenly came over.

"What's wrong?" William quickly turned around with a smile on his face.

"Take care of Alick and Elissa. I have to go to the filming set now."

"Again? Can't you have a break today?" William asked in surprise. "We haven't had dinner yet."

"It's okay. I can eat at the set. I'm leaving."

"Wait!" William grabbed her hand all of a sudden.

"What are you doing?"

"Kiss goodbye!"

"Go away!"

"Ha ha!" William laughed and suggested, "I'll take you to the set."

"No, thanks." Mary shook her head. "I'd better go by myself. News about us is already everywhere."

"So what?" William disagreed with her. "I don't think it's enough! It's better to let the whole world know about our relationship!"

"I don't want to be besieged on the filming set!" Mary stared him. "I'm an employee of GM Universing Studios now. As the saying goes, two of a trade are enemies. Mr. Lan, please save it."

Suddenly, a car honk was heard from the outside of the family house.

"It's Jill!" Mary said and hurried out. "I'm leaving."

"Mary!" William chased her and followed her out all the way to the car. "I'll go with you."

"Are you free now?" Mary asked while frowning.

"Yep." William nodded.

"Manager Lu!" Jill waved her hands to greet Mary in front of the house.

"Hello!" Mary got into the car, followed by William.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to the set with you... for inspection!" Mary was dumbfounded and speechless. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

In the house, Amy walked out of the kitchen in an apron and asked, "Where are Mary and William?"

"They went out," Elissa said as she jumped off the desk.

"Mommy won't sleep with us tonight?" Alick asked in a low voice.

"Mary is going to the set and that brat is following her." After saying that to Amy, Timothy turned to the two kids and said excitedly, "Tonight, you can continue the chess game with Grandpa!"

"Great!" Elissa jumped and clapped her hands and added, "I can build a house with chess pieces!"

Timothy was not expecting that kind of answer.

"The two left before dinner," sighed Amy. "It's sad especially when I have prepared many dishes for tonight."

"It's not that they wouldn't come," Timothy comforted her. "After they make up, let them live here directly."

"You are right." Amy smiled at the thought of Mary and William living in the villa with the kids. "It would be lively if more people are living together. The food will be more delicious. You guys enjoy yourselves. I'll continue cooking."

"Okay." It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the weather was sweet.

"Mom!" Lucas was on an international line. Walking along the street, he complained at the end of the line. "I've told you I won't go back."

"How long have you been gone? It's time for you to come back, right?"

"I have nothing to do if I go back!"

"Of course not! Lucas," the woman on the other end of the line said, "There are many new female doctors in your father's hospital. They are so pretty! They have good family and educational

background as well. They are a perfect match for you! Just come back and have a look."

"Did you say they are doctors?" Lucas frowned and asked, "What did they major in?"

"Speaking of that, they are all very professional! Some majored in clinical medicine, and some majored in dissecting! And there's one who is a forensic expert as well, so sea — "

"Yeah, so scary! Mom. Mom. Mom!" Lucas stopped her immediately. "That's enough, okay? I'm fine here. Don't ask me to go back just to have blind dates all day long."

"What's wrong?" The woman on the other side sounded unhappy and dissatisfied. "You're an adult now yet you can't even bring home a wife. Why don't you just let me find one for you?" "Go and find her! Whatever. If you want to find one, I can't stop you."

"Then come back quickly!"

"Wow, Mom!" Lucas suddenly shouted, "The president of my hospital is calling me. It must be something important! I have to hang up now! Got to go! Okay! Bye!" And with that, Lucas hung up the phone instantly while laughing.

"Hello? Hello? You brat!" Lucas's mother on the other hand exuded annoyance.

Beep! Beep!

"Ha ha!" With a smug smile, Lucas put his phone back in his pocket and walked forward leisurely.

Squeak!

All of a sudden, Lucas heard the sound of the tire rubbing the ground. A white sports car rapidly crossed the muddy puddle on the ground one meter in front him, splashing muddy water into his clothes.

"Damn it!" Lucas cursed as he jumped up. "My clothes!"

He was wearing a casual outfit. Unfortunately, his shoes, trousers, and even his shirt were stained.

With a bang, the owner of the car got out of the car. It was a woman wearing a fitted short skirt, high heels, and a sexy backless top. Her hair swayed in the wind as she stepped off the car.

She looked as if she was in a hurry and hastily walked forward. It seemed that she did not notice Lucas.

"Stop! You!" Lucas shouted as he ran to confront her. "How dare you run away after dirtying my clothes? Why don't you apologize to me? I thought you were educated for driving such a good car! Stop!"

The woman paused, turned around and said in annoyance, "It was you who walked at the roadside. It's your fault."

Her slender figure, perfect curve, and delicate features lit up Lucas's eyes. At the same time, he was taken aback when he recognized the woman. "Jazlyn Xu? You again?"

Jazlyn glanced at Lucas from his head to toe. After a while, she answered, "Sorry, I don't know you."

"You don't know me? It's me!" With his hands on his waist, Lucas scoffed, "Have you forgotten what had happened the other day?"

"You..." Jazlyn pointed at him and asked, "Which club are you from? What's your number?"

Lucas frowned and said nothing.

"A night club, right?" Jazlyn suddenly stretched out her hand, smiled, and touched Lucas's face. "When you are in the club, keep an eye on the man. Inform me as soon as he goes in. You will get the money as promised."

"What?" Lucas's eyes widened, as if he was going to tear Jazlyn piece by piece. He pushed her hand away and yelled, "Are you fucking crazy? What the hell are you talking about?! Do you think I'm a prostitute? I... Do I look like one? Humph!"

Jazlyn shrugged. She had something else to do and there was no need to waste time on him, so she turned to leave.

"Don't go! Apologize!"

"Apologize for what?" Jazlyn glanced back and her impatience was evident on her face.

"When you drove over, your car dirtied my clothes." Lucas pulled his trousers to show her and shouted, "Are you blind? This is the second time!"

"What do you mean the second time?"

"On the tenth anniversary of AJ Group. In the manor."

"Oh. Right." Jazlyn nodded. "I see. I don't want the salary that day."

"Damn it!" Lucas cursed, while glaring at the woman in front of him. He roared, "Do you have amnesia? In the manor, you splashed wine all over my body. Have you forgotten? What's wrong with you?"

"You..." After looking at Lucas for a long time, Jazlyn finally understood what he meant. "It's you! Then you deserve it!"

"I'll kill you!" Lucas grabbed Jazlyn's arm.

Ring! Ring!

Jazlyn's phone rang inside her handbag.

"Hello?" She picked it up in a hurry, ignoring Lucas's hand.

"Jazlyn, why haven't you come?"

"Something unexpected happened, boss. I'll be right there!" And with that, Jazlyn hung up the phone quickly.

"Apologize!"

"Let go of me!"

"No!"

Lucas raised his head and stared at Jazlyn. Meanwhile, she just squinted and grabbed Lucas's arm. In a flash, she was able to throw him over her shoulder. Lucas fell onto the ground painfully.

"I told you to let go of me but you still didn't. You're asking for trouble!" Jazlyn clapped the dust off her hands and strode away. "Jazlyn Xu! We are enemies forever!"
