Love Contract

"Humph!"

However, when it was time to pass on the bouquet, Selah purposely stood in the corner. It was not that she didn't want to take it, but that she was pleased and contented right now even without it. She wanted another woman to feel the happiness brought by that bouquet. Another reason was, of course, that she wanted to go against and tease Barry on purpose.

While Selah was thinking about this, a bunch of white bridal bouquet flew straight towards her, and she caught it firmly like a conditioned reflex.

Surprised and confused, she turned to gaze at Barry, who was deviously smirking at her. 'What are the odds!'

"Dad, Mom got the bouquet. Will anything good happen to her?" Ray stood beside his father and looked at him with his bright eyes.

With one hand in his trouser pocket, Barry smiled brightly. He stole a glance at Selah, who was still in a daze, before answering his son, "We are probably going to get married."

Ray raised his eyebrows, resembling his father. It seemed that Barry was so well prepared. Did he have any plans?

The following day after the wedding, Mary pulled Selah out of the filming set.

"Didn't William say that he would take you on a honeymoon? Why are you here?" asked Selah, feeling stunned.

"Well, forget it." Rolling her eyes, Mary continued, "The three kids have been driving me crazy lately. It's already hard for me to get out of my bedroom in peace. How much more go on a honeymoon trip?" "Let me help you take care of them."

"No, I can't do that, Selah. Thank you, though." Mary shook her head and pushed Selah into the car. "You are so busy. Even if I ask you to take care of them, Barry wouldn't want you to be too tired." Selah smiled shyly after realizing that what Mary said was true.

"Why are you so late?" asked William, who was in the driver's seat.

"Oh, Mr. Lan, you're the driver today! Where are we going?" Selah asked with apparent innocence.

"I'm going to help you land a big role in a movie." Raising her eyebrows, Mary smiled unfathomably and commanded her husband, "Drive."

"What role? Which movie?"

"You'll know when we get there."

Meanwhile, Barry was waiting anxiously at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Isn't it strange to propose at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"Of course not!" Helpless, Lucas merely shook his head and tidied up Barry's clothes. "That's unique and cool."

"Here," said Victor, handing a large bouquet of flowers to Barry. "If Selah doesn't agree, you can just drag her inside to sign and seal the marriage certificate," he joked while smirking.

"Such a surprise is the same as the last time when William drove Mary to church. Isn't this too obvious?"

"No, it's not!" Lucas shook his head. "Women like surprises. When they get excited, they wouldn't care about anything anymore." "They are coming!" Victor patted Barry and pulled Lucas aside.

As soon as Mary pulled Selah out of the car, the latter saw Barry standing a few steps away, holding a massive bouquet of bright red roses in his hands. But it was not the bouquet that caught her heart; it was the dashing expression he bore on his face.

"Barry, what are you doing?" asked Selah, looking around while slowly walking towards him. The Civil Affairs Bureau? Holy!

Barry met her halfway and handed her the roses. In a daze, Selah's hands automatically received the flowers.

"Selah, my darling." Barry knelt on one knee, and a small velvet box graced Selah's sight. "Marry me!"

"Wow, it's so romantic!"

"Oh, my God! Isn't this Selah Shen?"

"This is a proposal at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau!

Seeing the scene, the young couples who were waiting for registration and passers-by all stopped to watch.

"From now on, you and I are going to play a significant role in each other's lives. It may take a long time to finish the shoot, probably an entire lifetime. You have to play the role of being my wife, and the talent fee would be my never-ending love. Are you willing to do that, Selah?" Barry meaningfully promised in a loving tone.

Surprised, Selah gasped, covering her mouth. She had been waiting for this day for a long time! Selah nodded with tears rolling down her cheeks and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"

Instantly, the crowd cheered.

Standing up, Barry put the ring on her finger and kissed her face lightly. "Let's go," he said, holding her hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Inside," Barry answered and pointed to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"But..."

"I've brought all documents needed." And that was what it took for them to register their marriage right away.

In the villa, Selah held on tightly to two marriage certificates in her hands. It had been hours since they got back from the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she couldn't seem to get enough of those documents. "Hey, it's time for dinner." Barry looked at her with amusement. "You have looked over and over them for more than a hundred times."

"So what?" Reluctant to put the certificates on the table, Selah stood up and followed Barry to the kitchen.

"Shouldn't you now change how you call me?" Barry asked with a smile.

"What should I address you?"

"Call me 'hubby'." Closing the small gap between them, Barry whispered in her ears.

"You..." Blushing, Selah tried to murmur, "Hubby."

When Barry heard it, a surge of heat flowed within him. He was so aroused that he grabbed Selah's arms, and frantically said, "Say it again." "Hubby!" Selah did as she was told, smiling widely as she liked the sound of it too.

"My wifey..." Cupping her tiny face, Barry attacked her lips.

"Ahem...Ahem..."

Suddenly, Ray came out from nowhere and coughed, pretending to be serious as he watched the two adults kissing.

"Ray..." Selah quickly broke free from Barry's hands and turned to look at her son.

"Dad, can you take Mom to the bedroom to kiss her next time, or else I'd be embarrassed?"

"You brat!" Barry joked and prepared to tickle his son when Hester came over, holding a bowl of chicken soup.

"Mr. and Mrs. Gu, dinner's ready."

"Thank you, Hester."

After expressing her thanks, Selah couldn't wait to sit down at the table. The aroma of the chicken soup penetrated her nose, making her even more hungry. However, when she was about to pick up the small spoon, the smell suddenly became very pungent, causing her to vomit subconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Barry asked worriedly after seeing her reaction.

With her hand covering her mouth, Selah ran to the bathroom, retching.

Immediately, Barry followed her, frowning slightly. He was about to blame her when he suddenly realized something. Instantly, a glint of bliss flashed in his eyes, and his fingertips trembled. "Selah, are... Are you pregnant?"

Selah was about to stand up, but disbelief registered in her eyes when she heard those words. She turned around and touched her belly before asking, "I...I'm pregnant?"

"It must be!" Barry was so excited that he pulled Selah into his arms. "I'm going to be a father again. Selah, we 're gonna have a baby, our second baby!" he exclaimed in sheer joy.

"Woo...Woo... Barry..." Overwhelmed, Selah cried in his arms. She couldn't believe it! She thought it would be impossible, but thank God for blessing her so much!

Meanwhile, in the Kary Villa, William had just put the three kids to bed when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? What's up? You'd better have something important to tell me!" he answered while sporting a brooding face.

"William! I'm going to be a father again!"

Barry's excited voice came through from the line, sounding overjoyed.

"Holy smoke! Congratulations!" Mary greeted in a slightly loud voice so that Barry could hear her.

William, who was stunned for a while, flashed a smile and said, "Congratulations! Get ready to bring your daughter to our house!"

"Alright! Well, I have to inform the others. Gotta go. Bye!

Barry was evidently on cloud nine. He immediately cut the call without waiting for William's words.

"Oh, my God! That's great!" Mary exclaimed and prepared to get up from the bed. 'Tm going downstairs to tell everyone!"

However, before she could even get away, William was quick enough to pull her back. "You heard how excited Barry is. I'm sure he will tell the whole world the news himself." "Right! But I'm just so delighted! What should I do?" "Mary." William circled his arms around her. "Barry is going to have a baby again. Maybe we can have another one too."

"What?! You already have three!" Mary pushed his face away from hers.

"But don't you think there are few boys in our family?"

"I don't think so!"

"I think..."

In Barry's villa.

Barry dialed one call after another, and almost all the people who could be informed heard the news.

"Selah, are you tired? Do you want to have a rest?"

Selah shook her head and said, "What if I'm not pregnant? This news would just be in vain."

Squatting down to level her tummy, Barry caressed Selah's flat belly and asked, "How could it be? We are looking forward to the baby's arrival. The baby won't let us down."

As expected, the baby didn't disappoint Barry. It turned out that Selah had been pregnant for four weeks now.

And months later, their wish had finally come true. Selah gave birth to a healthy, little boy.

While everyone was so happy, William pounded his chest in disappointment. He had been expecting a baby girl to be partnered with Alick. "Ray should stay in our house from now on!" he complained, even pouting like a little child.

However, no one seemed to have noticed his tantrums as everyone was in high spirits. All of them were living the perfect life, and no storm was looming to destroy their balance.
