Contract Marriage; Fated Love

A hush fell over them.

“Oh! He’s so lucky. He’s handsome and rich. I wish he would marry me!”

“Marry you? Tsk tsk! He’s got a fiancée.”

“What?”

“When?”

“When are they getting married?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Isn’t he gay?”

He didn’t turn or notice them. His eyes were focused on the road and path he walked on. Everyone cleared the way for him as he passed. Many of them wondered what could bring that great man to an ordinary park.

Someone tripped over Liam and fell on him.

“Ouch!” he cried. He was squatting and drawing lines on the floor when he was bumped into. His legs ached seriously.

“I’m sorry.”

Liam noticed people were staring and making way for someone.

Mister Noah!

He ran towards him.

“Oh my! Whose son is that?”

“Can his mother hold him? He shouldn’t obstruct the President.”

“Hey! Lad!”

Liam didn’t hear them. His entire focus was on getting to Noah. He got there and tapped his hand. The people around, who noticed what was going on stopped and stared. They wanted to see what would happen. They knew that no news about him would be spread as no news man or paparazzi wanted to risk his life. Noah was now feared all the more after what happened with Jessy.

The household servants, onlookers in the hospital and those who helped rush Jessy to the hospital had told the story to the world. Even though many people knew the story, they didn’t dare to voice it out.

Noah turned in the direction he felt the hand tap him. It was his little friend. He patted his head and held his hands to the surprise of the onlookers.

“How are you, little man?”

Liam smiled at the new name.

“I’m fine and you?”

“Great too.”

“Did you come to play too?”

Noah laughed.

“Oh no! I don’t have time for things like this. I came to survey this site to see how suitable it is for my new project.”

Noah took his hands and continued his journey, talking as they went.

“Do you want to make the park bigger? Then I would come to play here every weekend!”

“No. Sadly, I want to embark on a project on this piece of land. The park will be moved elsewhere.”

“Ahhh. It’s in a nice place. The scenario and everything is good.”

“It will be replaced at the new site, don’t worry. You will still have somewhere to play. I’m only going to take this place if it looks okay to me. I’m not done exploring.”

“But… as the boss, why did you come yourself? You could have sent someone, couldn’t you?”

Noah looked at him for some seconds before he answered.

“Yes, I could have but I came myself because I want to supervise the project to my taste. I want to choose a good plot myself and not hand the responsibility to someone.”

“Ohh. It makes sense now.”

“But kid, why are you always alone? Where are your parents? Or did you come to the park alone?”

“Haha. There is no way I will come alone. That’s my mum sitting there.”

Noah turned but didn’t see anyone.

“Huh! She was just here before I left to see you. She was beside me while I was drawing on the sand. Don’t worry Mister, I will bring her to see you when next you come.”

Noah smiled. What if he never came again? He was a busy person and seldom had time for things like this. He didn’t want the boy to be disappointed.

“Alright. I will see your mum next time.”

The boy smiled. Noah sent him off after the tour and he ran off to find his mother. He saw her still seated with Davis.

“Mummy,” he called with a frown on his face. Emily paused her conversation and turned to him. She saw the frown on his face and her heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to him?

“What’s the matter?”

“I was looking for you earlier but I didn’t find you. My friend wanted to see you.”

“Which friend? Why will a child be looking for your mum? Don’t worry, go and play. I will see your friend before we go.”

“It’s not a child. It was mister Noah and he has gone.”

Emily, who got scared at the mention of Noah, felt relieved to hear that he had gone. Noah was just everywhere.

“Alright, don’t go hanging around that man next time.”

Liam gave her a puzzled look and before he could ask his question, she cut in,

“He’s very busy and might not like to be disturbed, okay?”

She had prepared the excuse beforehand. She didn’t want him to know that this man was her ex husband and he was possibly looking for her.

“Okay mummy. Can I have an ice cream, please?”

Emily gave him some money and he jogged away happily to the amusement of Davis.

“You have such a lovely son.”

“Thank you.”

“As lovely as his mother.”

Emily smiled, Davis and his unending jocular remarks.

“We have a lot of catch up to do. How about we fix maybe lunch or dinner at your convenience so we can talk things over?”

“That would be very nice.”

“Let’s see if it will be within the week, I will check my schedule and let you know. It has to be a date and time convenient for both of us.”

Liam went straight to bed after their return from the park. He had so much fun that he was extremely tired.

Emily was very happy to reunite with Davis. She double checked to be sure she saved his number. She recalled what Gu Yanxi told her the previous day. She checked her blacklisted numbers and it was Gu Yanxi she blacklisted!

How did she do that? She searched for Noah’s number but it was nowhere to be found. She had blacklisted Gu Yanxi in his place and she had already deleted the number. There was no way she could retrieve it to make sure it’s blacklisted. He could still call or track her down!
