Love Contract

Chapter 330 Extra Story I Have A Crush On You (Part One)

Ever since Selah became Barry's woman, she lived a much happier life than she used to in the past.

She lived in a spacious and bright villa. Moreover, there were also drivers and servants on call. For the first time, she felt like she was living her dreams. With the help of the CEO, Barry, Selah's name and photos appeared on the newspaper every day. Even the film directors and scriptwriters took good care of her, which made Selah greatly relieved.

Even Ray's operation was supported by Barry. Every time Selah thought about this, her heart would feel warm. Because of this, an idea occurred to her. Why not live with him for the rest of her life?

For about three or four days, Alick and Elissa stayed in Barry's villa. They even slept with Barry and Selah on the same bed every night. Barry would tuck them in and Selah would read them stories. It felt like they were a real family. It was not until Mary had returned from her hometown to pick up the two children, and Selah had to shoot in another place, that the villa returned to peace.

However, the sudden quietness made Barry feel very uncomfortable, especially when there was no more story-telling after the kids had gone home. He always felt as if there was something incomplete before going to bed.

"This kind of anti-war drama series is different from the usual soap opera. It requires a lot of acting skills. If you perform well, it will be very helpful for your future career." In the living room, with his hand in his pocket, Barry suddenly turned to Selah, who was sitting opposite to him and said, "Work hard and show them your capability." "I got it. I will, Mr. Gu." Selah nodded while carrying her suitcase.

"Okay." Barry nodded as well. He did not know what else to say. The living room quieted down once again.

"Well," Selah swallowed hard and continued, "Mr. Gu, remember to eat on time. Don't starve yourself."

"A big star has become a housewife," Barry teased. With a smile, he added, "Fine. I'll eat. Don't worry about me."

'Tm leaving."

"Let me see you off," said Barry indifferently. He walked out first but before going out completely, he turned around and asked, "When will you come back?"

"After two weeks," Selah answered in a sad tone. She felt a little disappointed at the thought of not being able to see Barry for half a month.

"Okay then. I'll wait for you. The flowers on the balcony of the bedroom will wither."

'Wait for you... Wait for you...' His words echoed in Selah's mind.

All of a sudden, Selah became as shy as a little girl. Her mood lifted upon hearing what he had said.

Jaime had been waiting outside the villa for quite some time. When he saw Barry come out, followed by Selah, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and greeted them. "Hi, Mr. Gu. Selah, hello." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hi." Barry nodded slightly in response. "Have a good trip," he said to both Selah and Jaime.

"See you." Selah was reluctant to get in the van at first, but she had no choice. When she got on, she looked back at the tall and straight figure through the window and said to him in silence, 'Okay, wait for me.'

She was looking forward to the day of her return. Little did she know, by the time she came back, her world would turn upside down.

It was a cold night in early autumn. Despite Jaime's persuasion, Selah insisted on coming back on the day right after the shooting. It was because Barry had promised that he would wait for her to water the flowers before she left.

"Thank you for driving me back. Have a good rest. You've been with me all the time. Jaime, thank you for your hard work. See you next time." Selah got off the car and bade farewell to her agent.

“Okay. See you around as well." Jaime nodded. His eyes darkened as he watched Selah got off the car.

Carrying her small suitcase, Selah walked into the villa. Seeing that lights in the living room were on, she felt very happy.

Reaching closer to the living room, she slowed down on purpose and tiptoed to the door.

'Ha ha! Will Barry be surprised when he sees me later?'

Click.

She pushed the door open silently. Holding the doorknob in her hand, she was about to call Barry's name when...

"Mary, marry me!"

In the living room, Barry was kneeling on one knee and looking at Mary with burning eyes. In his hand was a small velvet box. The diamond ring in the box dazzled Selah's eyes, and what he said next broke her heart. "I will take care of you for the rest of my life."

The smile on Selah's face froze before it even widened. Looking at the romantic scene in the living room, she was about to say something, but her words got stuck in her throat. The coldness from the bottom of her heart made her tremble all over her body.

She could not wait to come back yet here she was, petrified in spot as Barry proposed to someone else for marriage! How ironic!

"Mary, I've been kneeling for so long. What... what is your answer?" In the living room, Barry asked eagerly, "Is it a yes or a no?"

Selah's eyelids twitched and she felt as if her heart climbed onto her throat.

"I... Yes." Mary forced a smile and nodded.

"Really? Gosh! Mary, for real?" Barry exclaimed excitedly and asked again and again in disbelief.

Click.

With an expressionless face, Selah closed the door.

The faint laughter could be heard outside the living room. Despite her racing heart, Selah's mind was blank.

For a long time, she sat on the steps outside with her heart broken. With a click, the door opened unexpectedly.

"Ah!" Barry rushed out of the villa and shouted at the sky. He could not contain the happiness and excitement he was feeling. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting on the steps in the darkness just as he was about to walk forward.

"Selah?" Barry called her name uncertainly.

"Eh... Hi." She turned around numbly. When she saw Barry, she immediately stood up. What time did she arrive? How long had she been sitting there?

"You are back?" Barry was so happy that he did not notice the sadness on Selah's face at all. The darkness concealed her expression anyway.

"Yes, I just arrived." Selah nodded. She did not dare to say anything more, afraid that she would cry out.

"Oh! Right!" Barry seemed to remember something and smiled happily. "Mary is back! And we are getting married!"

Bang!

Selah felt that her heart was hit by something heavy. Looking at the excited look on Barry's face without any impurity and pretension, she really wanted to question him. She wanted to ask him, 'Didn't you say that you wanted me to be your woman? Why are you marrying someone else?' But no words seemed to come out of her mouth.

"I will let you go now!" Barry announced as if he was a kind king who was about to release his prisoners with full of grace. "You don't have to stay here and stay with me anymore. You are free now."

"Free?" Selah murmured, as if she had never heard of this word before.

"Yep," Barry agreed in a good mood. "I hope you don't blame me. The company will continue supporting you in the future. But please, I'm asking you not to talk about our relationship to Mary. I don't want her to misunderstand anything."

"Sure. I understand," answered Selah. If it was not dark, Barry would have noticed her red and misty eyes. 'Tm leaving now."

"Do you need me to ask the driver to send you home?" Barry suggested when he noticed that she was carrying a suitcase.

"No, you don't have to. Thank you. I can do it myself." Shaking her head, Selah grabbed the suitcase and turned around to leave. However, before taking another step away, she abruptly stopped and said, "I'm leaving now. I left a few personal belongings in the villa. Mr.... Mr. Gu, please send them to me when you have time."
