Love Contract

Chapter 341 Extra Story Happy Tears (Part Two)

"Hey," Selah protested in a low voice. "Don't stare at me like that!"

"Are you not afraid of me anymore?"

"I was never afraid of you." Selah stood up and declared, "I'm going to see Ray. Enjoy your meal."

Barry ignored her sassy remark and instead just shrugged his shoulders while smiling like a fool.

Meanwhile, Selah had already reached half of the staircase when she turned to look back at Barry at the dining table. Suddenly, a surge of happiness flowed into her heart. It felt so surreal and overwhelming that Selah was afraid she wouldn't be able to control it.

After dinner, Barry headed to the study to read some documents. It was only later that night that he decided to finally go to his bedroom.

With her back to the door, Selah watered the flowers on the balcony. When she heard the door open, she immediately turned around.

"Ahem! Are you watering the flowers?" Barry asked as he walked to the balcony.

"Yeah," Selah answered in a soft tone and nodded. And as she stared back deep into his eyes and studied his face, she couldn't imagine that the man before her was Ray's father.

"You seem to be absent-minded tonight. What on earth happened?" Barry stood in front of Selah, facing her fully. The thin gap between them was more than enough to feel each other's breath.

"I'm not..."

"Don't tell me it's nothing," Barry interrupted her. His voice was painted with a hint of warning. "Selah, if something's bothering you, just tell me, okay? I'm not an unreasonable person. You can

discuss it with me."

Selah was in a daze for a long time while a lump had found its way into her throat. Just as Barry tried to say something again, she threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest. "Barry, are you going to abandon me?" she cried.

For a moment, Barry was stunned at her question. Then, after realizing what she was apprehensive about, he let out a chuckle and gently stroked her long, silky hair. "So, you are worried about this?"

"How can I not be? I can't see through you at all. I don't know what to do. You said I was an accident for you. Even if I have Ray, you still couldn't help loving Mary." Selah poured all her sentiments that had been weighing on her for a while now.

"Did you hear my conversation with Lucas that night?" Barry asked, narrowing his eyes.

"I heard it by accident. Woo...Woo... Are you going to ask me to leave eventually?" Selah asked again, bursting into tears while her face was still buried on his chest.

"Hmm?" Her actions were all foreign to Barry. It was his first to see her act so vulnerable in front of him. Aside from that, what he told Lucas that night was basically his confession of love to her. So, why was she acting like this?

Unable to hear a reply from his, Selah held him even tighter, fearing that Barry would suddenly push her away.

"What else did you hear?"

"That was all I heard. Then I left."

"That's all? Jesus!" Hearing this, Barry held her straight up to face him. "Didn't you hear the rest?"

Selah sniffed and asked, "What else did you say?"

"Tsk! You stupid woman! Why are you so dense and clueless?" Barry retorted, feeling slightly annoyed having to explain himself.

"What's wrong?" Selah pouted, sobbing.

"I then said it was a beautiful accident to meet you. I said you were lovely and that I decided to give up Mary because of you," Barry said in one breath, glaring intently at Selah. "Do you know what I meant?"

”1... Hmm..."

Before Selah could react, Barry had already cupped her tiny face. And in a matter of seconds, he lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her lips. This way, he hoped to express his feelings, making her feel how much he had missed her for the past two weeks.

After the passionate kiss, Selah fell into Barry's arms weakly and asked, "Am I dreaming?"

Barry couldn't help laughing and kissing her again. "Are you dreaming?"

With her face blushed, Selah shook her head, feeling herself soaking in a honey jar with all those emotions surging within her at once.

"By the way," Barry was suddenly reminded of something and said seriously, "you said you liked me yesterday, but you also declared of your hatred to me before. You had no choice but to stay with me just because of Ray?" "I didn't say I hated you! How did you get this idea?"

Selah retorted, her eyes widening in slight surprise.

"In the filming site. I heard your conversation with Jaime half a month ago when I went to see you that day."

"You..." Surprised, Selah was tongue-tied for a couple of seconds. However, soon enough, she came back to her senses and said, "I'm sure you didn't listen to our entire conversation and left."

Shrugging, Barry replied, "No, I didn't hear it all. I was pissed off by you before I could finish it."

"Then you must have no idea that I was looking for you on the filming site," Selah said, biting her lips. "I told Jaime that although you are always so harsh and cruel to me, I still like you."

"I’m cruel to you? When was I ever being harsh on you? What did I do?" Barry pinched her nose bridge, showcasing that what she said was silly.

"This! Just now." Selah furrowed her brows tightly and shook off his hand.

"From now on, don't keep anything between us. We'll just have misunderstandings if you don't tell me everything." As if those soft words were not comforting enough, Barry circled his hands around her gently, and added, "We agreed to be together, so we should share each other's pains and happiness."

"Do you like me too, Barry?" Selah asked, eyeing him expectantly. Although Barry had their relationship publicly known, it didn't mean he had her in his heart because he had been so in love with Mary for so many years. Selah thought that even if she could occupy a small place in his heart, then that would be more than enough for her.

"A little."

"Only a little?" Selah was not satisfied, but she comforted herself right away. "A little is good enough for me." "I have been in love with another woman for many years. I can't forget her in just a short

amount of time. But I promise to learn how to love you as we share more memories together," Barry softly answered, cupping her tiny face and lovingly tracing the edge of her jaw.

"Really? Do you really mean it?" In sheer excitement, Selah couldn’t help grabbing his sleeve while her eyes twinkled with so much joy. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Of course, I do!" Barry was overjoyed to see that Selah seemed to be head over heels for him. For some reason, he felt like he was floating in the clouds when she confessed her feelings just now.

"What William proposed back in the hospital was a good idea. I think Ray is too lonely by himself. He needs a brother or sister to play with." His deep eyes glimmered with so much intensity while his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"Wait a moment!" With a blushed face, Selah stared at Barry, who was pressing on top of her. She wrapped her hands around his shoulders and said, "There's one more thing."

"Go on," Barry said in a low voice, finding it difficult to suppress his worldly desire.

"The doctor said that it won’t be easy for me to get pregnant again. I may have Ray as my only child," Selah revealed, biting her lips as she anticipated his reaction.

Meanwhile, Barry stiffened, obviously taken aback by that revelation. He turned over and lay down on the other side, caressing Selah's head, and said, "I know you've suffered a lot."

"If I can't get pregnant again, you..." Before she could finish her words, Barry held her head to stop her.

"You are always like a frightened rabbit in front of me.

So, what if you can't get pregnant? We already have Ray so, it doesn't matter whether we have another child or not. I really don't care. Besides, you don't have to worry about me leaving you

because I won't. If there's one woman that I would fall in love with and eventually marry, it would be you, Selah. Only you," he uttered earnestly. His eyes lovingly stared at her, sending volts of electrifying heat in her body.

''Woo...Woo..." Curling up in his arms, Selah burst into tears.

She had never thought that Barry would be so gentle to her.

"Don't cry. Shush..." As if coaxing a child, Barry patted her back for comfort while a smile was etched on his lips.

They stayed in that position for a few moments until Selah had finally calmed down. She then gazed up at Barry and sniffed. "But I also want another child."

"Hmm, okay. Then, we'll go and see a doctor tomorrow. As you've said, it won't be easy for you to get pregnant again. But that doesn't mean you definitely can't get pregnant again, right?" Barry wanted to be certain. After all, he couldn't risk Selah's life just for them to have another child.

"Okay." Selah pursed her lips and nodded. "How could you be so kind?"

"Do you like me better this way?"

"Yes, of course." She nodded vigorously, smiling from ear to ear.

The next morning, a thick fog had covered the surroundings outside, making the villa's glass windows moist with the cold.
