Love Contract novel Chapter 116

On Saturday morning, Mary and William got dressed and set out for the ski resort at S City.

Mary caught sight of William's professional ski equipment. She was absolutely dumbfounded.

"You can ski?" Mary asked.

"Of course. Skiing in the winter and surfing in the summer. Sounds pretty good, right?"

"Yes, it's not bad."

As expected, William had unlimited resources. He was free to do what he wanted whenever he wanted to.

While the car drove north, the air got colder and colder along the way. The scenery on the road changed from autumn to winter. Lying in her seat and in her puffy jacket, Mary wanted to curl up into a ball.

When they entered S City, she saw the snow on both sides of the road and on top of the branches.

"It's snowing!" Mary leaned against the car window and looked out.

"Yes. It'll continue snowing for two days." "Really?" Mary's eyes lit up. This was the first time she'd ever seen snow...

As he saw the joy in her eyes, William's heart fluttered.

The manager of the ski resort greeted them as soon as they arrived. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

"Oh, Mr. Lan. Welcome."

"Thank you, Manager Sun. We'll have to trouble you for a while." William shook his hand firmly.

The two of them chatted as the hot air from their mouths formed into small clouds. Mary rubbed her hands together. 'It's so cold!'

"It's no trouble at all." Manager Sun smiled. "It's cold out here. Let's head inside the villa first."

"Alright."

"This way, madam." Manager Sun gestured to them.

"Thank you." Mary then followed the two inside.

"Mr. Lan, I thought you were busy," Manager Sun said. "I called your assistant Kevin a few days ago, but he said you were busy. So I was surprised to have received your call in person later."

"Well, it's not wrong to take some time off and come here." William shrugged. He never told him that he had taken Lucas's tickets.

The two chatted as they walked to the front, while Mary followed closely behind them.

The road to the villa was covered in snow. Mary lightly stepped on it and giddily hopped forward.

"Ah!" But suddenly, her foot slipped on the ice. She screamed as her body swayed, slowly losing balance.

"Watch out!" William turned around quickly and placed his arms around her waist. He caught her as his eyes were filled with worry. "Are you all right?"

"I'm okay..." Mary shook her head and blushed. Crack!

In the distance, sounds of camera shutter could be heard. No one saw that a young man was hiding secretly behind the trees. He followed them all the way there while occasionally taking photos.

"Look at you! Be careful," William said as he let go of her.

"Okay..." Pursing her lips, Mary nodded reluctantly.

"Come here! Hold my hand!" William suddenly reached his hand out to her and raised his eyebrow. "I..."

"Hurry up!" He was obviously in a hurry.

Biting her lips, Mary looked at William's outstretched hand. 'His hand must be very warm.'

She hesitantly reached out her hand. As soon as her finger touched William's palm, he grabbed her hand.

"You're so slow!" William shot her a look of disgust as he held her hand tightly.

"Humph..." Mary protested, but was pulled forward with every step.

"Is madam okay?" Manager Sun looked at Mary. "I forgot to mention that it's been snowing a lot here. You should be careful."

"It's okay." William shook his head calmly. He turned his head slightly to stare at Mary. The corners of his mouth suddenly curved up. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.

'I'll hold your hand so you wouldn't fall down again.'

"Here we are." Manager Sun turned around with a smile. "This is the suite I prepared just for you two. Mr. Lan, are you satisfied with it?"

"Yes." William nodded and led Mary inside the suite. "Wow, it looks great!" She ran to the window and stared outside.

After putting on his outfit, William glanced at Mary and then turned his head back facing the slope. Holding the ski sticks, he slowly slid down.

"Wow!" Mary screamed as she watched William slide smoothly down the mountain. "You're so handsome! William! That's so amazing!"

Regardless of whether he could hear her or not, Mary cheered him on.

"Mrs. Lan?" While Mary was shouting, a young man came and politely called her attention. He was wearing ski coach clothes.

"Hello." Mary greeted him. He was very tall and had a warm personality. What a nice guy!

"I'm the coach here." The man placed his hand on his chest. "Manager Sun asked me to come here. Madam, are you interested in skiing? I can teach you. I think Mr. Lan is very good."

"Is that okay?" Mary tilted her head.

"Of course!"

"Okay then!" Mary jumped up energetically. Under the guidance of the young coach, Mary got her ski equipment prepared.

It had been a long time since William had that much fun. As he slid down, he felt like his heart was about to soar.

Mary must be looking forward to skiing with him. William smiled and walked up the hill, but his smile quickly faded when he saw Mary.

"Okay, try and keep your balance." The young coach put his hands on Mary's waist. "First, you should try walking on the snow. Get a feel for it.

"Okay." Mary nodded. She had focused so much that she didn't notice William staring at her in the distance.

"Okay, that's great." The young coach continued encouraging her while he held her hand. "Don't be afraid. Come on, now try and make a circle."

When Mary tried turning slightly, she accidentally crossed the skis and almost fell face first in the snow.

"Ah!"

"It's okay. You're alright. I got you, don't worry." The young coach hugged her to keep her from falling.

"Whew..." Just as Mary let out a sigh of relief, she heard a deep voice shouting her name.

"Mary!" William strode towards Mary. His face darkened and his eyes loomed as he looked at her and the coach.

"William!" When Mary saw him, she didn't notice how angry he was. She greeted him happily. "Come here. This is the coach that Manager Sun sent. He's really good..."
