Love Contract

Chapter 194 Wedding Photos (Part One)

William drove away from the kindergarten with the two kids in the backseat.

Click!

After the car had left, a figure suddenly stepped out the entrance of the kindergarten. Bright leather shoes let out a crisp sound as they walked on the leaves.

Frank walked with his hands in his pockets. He squinted his eyes to spot which direction the car had turned.

A while ago, he saw William holding two kids in each arm, talking and laughing with them.

'William, they really are your children. They almost look like mini versions of you. I can suddenly remember what you looked like years back...' Frank was lost in thoughts.

"Where are we going?" Sitting in the car, Alick looked out the window. If his sister hadn't insisted on going with this man, he wouldn't have left during the class!

"Where do you want to go?" William smiled as he glanced at the two kids from the rear-view mirror. "Daddy Lan! Let's go there!" Elissa suddenly pointed at the KFC restaurant that they were about to pass. "I want to eat there!" she said gleefully.

"KFC?"

"Yes! Yes!" Elissa nodded. "I want that huge burger!"

"Okay, we'll go there." William found a place to park the car and walked inside the KFC restaurant with the two kids.

"I want to eat this! And this! And this..." Elissa looked up at the menu as she pointed out the food one by one.

"How about you, Alick?" William turned his head to Alick.

"Mommy said that fast food is unhealthy." Alick frowned as he placed his hand on his chin. "Moreover, the fast food I ate in the US tasted bad."

"It's okay to eat it once in a while." William frowned. The expression on his face was like Alick's. "There's Chinese food on the menu. It should be good. How about ordering some chicken rolls?"

"Alright." Alick nodded. He was convinced by his sister's enthusiasm.

"Add another egg tart, red bean pie, and two glasses of orange juice." "Okay, please wait a moment." The shop assistant nodded.

The three of them headed to the children's area of the restaurant with a tray full of food and sat down by the window.

"Daddy Lan, can I play on that slide after I finish eating?" Elissa munched on the chips happily.

"Sure." William carefully wiped the crumbs off her mouth.

"Yeah! Great!" Elissa jumped up from the chair and looked at her brother. "Alick, will you come with me!"

"Okay. I want to play on the slide too!"

Sitting next to him, William looked at him and smiled. After all, Alick was still a child, no matter how mature he might have looked. It was best that he stayed energetic. "Alick, is it delicious?"

"Yes, it is." Alick nodded. "I didn't eat anything the last time Elissa asked Daddy Barry to buy them."

"Did Barry Gu also buy them for you?" William asked in a sour tone.

"Yes, he did. Mommy didn't allow us to eat fast food. Sometimes, Daddy Barry would secretly buy it for Elissa."

"Alick, you ate some too this time!" Elissa proudly raised her head. "So don't tell Mommy!"

"Of course I won't..." Alick glared at her. 'If I told Mommy, I would also be punished.'

In the building of GM Universing Studios.

"I still have a meeting. Can you pick up the two kids on your own tonight?" Barry bit his lip.

"It's alright. No worries." Mary smiled. "You always take better care of them. I'm their mother..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mary shut her mouth. Her face turned pale. "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay." Barry patted her head. "I understand what you're trying to say. I'm their dad. Of course, I should care about them."

"Mr. Gu, the meeting is about to begin," Barry's assistant reminded him.

"I see. I'll be right there." Barry nodded to the assistant. "I'll be going to the meeting now."

"Okay, go ahead." Mary stood up. "I'm going to pick them up. What do you want for dinner tonight? I'll cook something special for you."

"Anything, if you're the one cooking..." Barry raised his eyebrow and smirked. "Then, it must be good!"

"Humph..." Mary glanced at him and shooed him off. "Go ahead. I'm leaving." "Okay." Barry watched Mary head off, her back turned to him. His smile grew wide and bitter.

When Mary arrived at the kindergarten, she heard the school bell ring, signaling dismissal time for the kids. She sat in the car and leaned forward. Rows upon rows of little kids ran out, but she didn't see Elissa. Elissa always rushed ahead of the crowd.

Something was not right...

When the children left one after another, Mary frowned. She hurriedly got out of the car and saw Miss May heading back inside the classroom.

"Miss May!" Mary waved at her.

"Hmm? Aren't you Alick and Elissa's mommy?" The young teacher turned around.

"Yes, I am." Mary smiled. "I wonder if something has happened to Alick and Elissa. Why haven't they come out yet?"

"They were picked up before the class ended," Miss May answered. She was a bit taken back by Mary's question.

"What? What did you say?" Mary's face turned pale. She grabbed Miss May's hand. "When? Who picked them up? Why didn't the kindergarten inform me? How could some outsider pick up my children? What's wrong with your kindergarten?" "Alick's mother, please calm down!" Miss May was startled. "It was their father who picked them up. Didn't their father tell you?"

"Their father?" Mary's eyes widened. "What father?" she stuttered.

"Well..." Miss May bit her lips. "He said he's the father of your two children and Elissa called him Daddy as soon as she saw him..."

Barry? Impossible! Was it Lucas?

"And that man was obviously Alick's dad! They look so much alike..." Miss May placed her finger on her chin. "If it was some other man who came to pick up the children, we would've stopped him immediately. But that man was obviously the father and Elissa was so close to him..."

"William Lan..." With her lips trembling, Mary murmured the name under her breath.

"Are you alright?" Miss May tilted her head and reached out to Mary. "What's wrong? Wasn't he the father of the children? Then we... Should we call the police? How can this happen?"

"What?" Mary came to her senses and shook her head. "No... There's no need..."

"But..."

"It's alright, really." Mary forced a smile. "It's our fault. I'm sorry that I brought you into this. I'll be leaving now. Bye, Miss May." Mary then turned around and got back inside the car. As she sat down, she rested her head on the headrest. Taking a deep breath, she then reached for her phone.

In the Kylin International.

"Daddy Lan, is this your home?" The three stood in the elevator. Biting her fingers, Elissa looked up at William. "Why don't you live in a villa?"

"Because..." William frowned. "Because I like it here!"

"Elissa, do we have to visit his home?" Alick frowned, his eyebrows furrowed. 'What if there's a beautiful woman inside?'

"Alick, we're already here. There's no harm in having a little tour, right??" William bent down and asked Alick.

"But it's too late." Alick tugged on his backpack. "Mommy will get worried."

"I... I'll send you home soon." William smiled.

Ding!

The elevator door suddenly swung open and William led the two kids out.

He took out his keys and opened the door of his apartment.

"Yeah!" Elissa rushed inside and started jumping up and down. Alick followed her. After a few steps, he saw a huge photo hanging on the wall. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
