Love Contract

Chapter 307 Proposal For Marriage (Part Two)

"I..." Mary blushed and faltered, "I didn't forget about them! It was an accident last night."

William got out of the bed. After a good night's rest, he looked so much better.

"Mary and I are in love with each other. Don't try to take us apart. How can you do this to your sister?" William said unhappily, "We're adults. We can resolve our own problems. Mind your own business."

"Wow! Look who's talking!" Aisha raised her head and added, "My sister's business is my business. I want to think about her happiness. I want her to stay away from you!"

"No way!" Waving his hand, William disagreed firmly. "I will be with Mary for the rest of my life. No one can stop us! Not even you!" Then, he looked at Mary affectionately.

Mary rubbed her forehead, still unable to make out of the morning feud.

If Aisha and William quarreled, which side should she take?

"You are just a talker. You always make my sister upset. I can't trust you easily." Aisha shook her head in disgust. "Okay," said William as he placed his both hands on his waist. "Then how can you believe me?"

"Make a promise." Aisha raised her eyebrows and stared at William, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity. She said word by word, "I want you to make a promise to my sister in front of everyone. As for the content of the promise, I think you should know."

"Okay, no problem." William nodded in agreement without any hesitation. "I'll tell you now then. I want—"

Mary looked at William and felt nervous.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" At this critical moment, Aisha suddenly interrupted him. She took out her phone and said, "Don't hurry. We need to wait for everyone else."

Hearing that, William was stunned. Who else should be here?

"Hello?" When William was in a daze, Aisha dialed the number. "Come here quickly. Yes, tell him, Barry and Selah as well."

After that, Aisha hurriedly made another call. "Jazlyn, yes, come to the hospital. Ask Lucas to come here with you."

Mary and William stared at each other. After Aisha made four or five phone calls, she finally stopped.

"Ugh. I'm so tired." What Aisha had just done made her very thirsty. She poured herself a glass of water and said, "Half an hour at most. We'll start when everyone is here."

Mary fully understood what Aisha was planning to do. "It's just a promise. There's no need for so many people, right? Why do you want to make it so grand? Isn't it too embarrassing?"

"Are you embarrassed?" Aisha turned to look at William and scoffed.

Shaking his head, William walked to the bedside and said, "I think Aisha's idea is really good. Mary. I will make a promise to you in front of everyone." Just as he finished speaking, he reached out for Mary's hand.

"Hey, your hand!" Aisha saw what he was about to do and slapped him away rudely.

William rolled his eyes at her and sat on the edge of the bed angrily.

Half an hour later, their friends arrived one after another.

Barry and Selah arrived first, together with Ray. A huge and unusual smile was plastered across their faces.

"Why did you call us here?" Barry asked, "We have to send Ray to school later. Will it be long?"

"Don't worry. It won't be long!" Shortly after, Lucas and Archer appeared together, and so did Victor, Ena, and Jazlyn.

At last, it was Timothy and Amy who came to the hospital with the two kids. They thought something had happened again and felt relieved when they saw that both William and Mary were fine.

"Such a big group of people," Lucas stood at a corner of the ward and said with a smile. "We are squeezing into this small ward like a board meeting. William, do you have something important to tell us?"

Hearing what Lucas said, everyone nodded and looked at William in confusion.

How Mary wished she could find a hole in the ground to hide herself. So many people stared at her, waiting to hear William's promise. Was it too ridiculous? 'My Lord!'

However, it was rare to see such a serious look on William's face. There was no embarrassment, but only affection in his eyes. "Today I asked you to come here because I want to make a promise to Mary while you witness. It's a promise for the whole lifetime."

Hearing this, Timothy nodded imperceptibly. Lucas even secretly stretched out his thumb to show encouragement to William.

The group of people held their breath and concentrated, waiting for what William had to say. "I have done a lot of wrong things to too many people before, including my father, Aunt Amy, and Victor. Many people were hurt by my stupid actions. But, the person whom I hurt most was Mary."

There was too much regret in William's voice. His serious eyes made Mary forget the embarrassment. She only listened to him patiently.

"In the four years when Mary was gone, I was overwhelmed with pain. I numbed myself with alcohol and women. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I know it's useless for me to say one thousand or ten thousand apologies. Nevertheless, I'm begging for Mary for forgiveness." After saying that, William took a glance at Mary and continued, "Mary, I really love you."

"Now, no one believes me and everyone doubts me. I deserve it." The ward was very quiet except for William's calm and firm voice. "So, I have to make a promise to Mary, and let everyone witness my true love for her."

"In the future, I will be loyal to Mary. I will be good to Alick, Elissa and the unborn baby. I will fulfill the responsibility of a man to his woman and a father to his children. I will protect them, love them, and never let them suffer any harm.

Mary will be the only woman in my life from now on. I promise that I won't do anything harmful for our love in the future. Also, I won't be halfhearted. I will make sure that everything I do is full of love and passion. The stupid things I have done before will never happen again! No matter what happens, I will never hide anything from Mary, neither will I ever deceive Mary."

Hearing William's promise, Mary did not know how to express her feelings. Her eyes were red and wet with tears. How could William say such embarrassing words in front of so many people?

"I will spend my whole life making up for the harm that I have caused to Mary. I will devote the rest of my life in loving Mary. Even if I, myself, am hurt, I will never let anything happen to her. Mary is the only one in my heart.

Mary, I love you."

After the last sentence in a firm and loud voice from William, Mary's eyes were filled with tears.

"Mr. Lan's words are so touching!" Ena said in a low voice. Her eyes were red too as she was moved by William's oaths. "Mary is so happy!"

"He needs to walk the talk," Victor commented while looking at William coldly. Nobody knew what was going on in his mind at that moment.

"Dad is awesome!" Alick smiled and looked into William's eyes.

"I'm quite satisfied with what you have done this time!" Timothy snorted, but the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Since you have made your promise, I will believe you again." Aisha also nodded proudly. "We will supervise you from now on. If you can't do it well, you will be beaten!"

"I won't give you a chance to beat me up." At this time, William was humorous.

"Mary? What do you say?" asked Selah.

"I..." Mary wiped her tears quietly.

"Mary? Can you forgive me, please?" asked William anxiously.

After taking a glance at everyone, Mary took a deep breath and finally nodded slowly.

As soon as she nodded, William smiled brightly. He sat on the bed and hugged her. "Mary, I'm so happy! You are willing to forgive me. I am so... I'm going crazy with joy! Mary..."

Everyone else looked at the warm scene in front of them with a smile. Nobody else was happier than them. All was well!

"Something is missing," in the happiness, Archer suddenly said with a little pity.

"What is it?" Aisha frowned. She had thought of everything!

"I thought there would be a more unforgettable promise after such a touching scene." Archer stared at William, wondering if William understood what he meant. When everyone was confused, a thought suddenly flashed through William's mind. He understood instantly. Archer wanted him to propose to Mary!

Thinking of this, William hurriedly touched the bottom of his neck, and pulled out a thin chain from the hospital gown. Then, he skillfully unhooked it.

There were two rings on the chain, one big and one small. They were wedding rings.

Mary glanced at the rings and realized they looked quite familiar. "This is..."

"Don't you remember?" William asked with a nostalgic look. "These are the rings I bought for us four years ago. I take them with me all the time. I even put them on the place closest to my heart.

Although I didn't pay much attention to them four years ago, they mean more to me than anything else." Touching the smaller ring, William suddenly knelt on one knee on the floor beside the bed, and held up the ring. "Mary, marry me!"

The sudden proposal made Mary's heart beat faster and faster. Everyone else in the ward was taken aback.

Archer smiled. William really understood what he meant just now!

Before Mary could react, Elissa did first. "Mommy, say yes!" "Mommy, don't you want to marry Dad?" urged Alick.

Pursing her lips, Mary choked with sobs. She could not say anything, and could only nod slightly to show that she agreed to marry him.

As William waited for Mary's answer, every second that had passed seemed like a year. Seeing that her gestures said that she had agreed, William took her hand immediately and put the ring on her ring finger.

"All right," said William with a proud smile. He finally felt relieved as he stared at the ring. "I have put it on your finger and you belong to me now, Mary. You won't be able to escape anymore."

"Humph!" Aisha snorted disdainfully, but her eyes were full of happiness.

Hearing that, Mary was stunned for a while, but William kissed her unexpectedly. She felt extremely joyful all of a sudden.

'Well, that's it. I also want to marry you, William! ' she thought. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
