Love Contract

Chapter 386 Extra Story regnant (Part Two)

"Open the car door for me!" Lucas shook the rain off his head.

Jazlyn rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the car. Aisha asked her to take a rest but she did not. Part of her wanted to see Lucas, so she volunteered to come out. This way, she would get to see him unsuspectingly.

They carried William to the car together. Since Archer had been thinking about Aisha all the time, he asked Jazlyn to drive Lucas and William to the hospital. Then, Lucas, Jazlyn, and a half-comatose patient were inside the car.

"It's unexpected that you are willing to sit in the same car with me," said Jazlyn on the driver's seat.

"I had no choice. Do you really think I'd be willing to be with you?" As Lucas spoke, he wiped the rain from William's face.

Jazlyn raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She did not seem to believe his words. Or maybe, she did not want to believe it. "Is Mr. Lan okay?"

"I guess he will have to rest for a few days. He's extremely feverish now."

William's face was pale and unnaturally red. Despite being unconscious, he kept muttering something under his breath.

"He is miserable only because he has done many wrong things," said Jazlyn.

"I feel sorry for him whenever I recall what he and Mary have experienced these years." Lucas sighed in pity and continued, "If he wanted to be with Mary in the end, he should have been good to her."

"It's too late for him now. Mary is getting married." Jazlyn's eyes darkened and she continued, "I think that Barry should be nice to Mary. They are going to hold their wedding in three days."

"In three days?" Lucas' expression was in utter surprise. "They are in such a hurry!"

Jazlyn smiled in response. All of a sudden, she remembered something. "By the way, we need a groomsman for the wedding."

"Are you the bridesmaid?" Lucas raised his head and asked. He then proceeded to wipe the rain off William's face again.

"Well... Yes, I am." Jazlyn suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Why did her question seem that she was inviting Lucas?

Fortunately, he did not notice it. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. I'll leave the best man to someone else. Although Barry is a good man, I can't stand being the groomsman of William's rival in love while he's lying in bed, unconscious."

Jazlyn nodded in agreement. "You are right."

The two sighed and did not say anything more. Jazlyn stepped on the gas and the car sped up. Their short journey to the hospital was silent and awkward.

It was sunny the next day. Everyone except William went to the wedding shop to try on their wedding attires. Afterwards, Aisha and Jazlyn left to go to the hotel to pack their things. They would move in to Barry's villa for a while to accompany Mary.

As Aisha was driving, the car had to stop from time to time due to the traffic. Supporting her arms, she drove slowly as she waited for the car in front to move forward little by little.

"My patience is slowly running out! Why is the traffic so heavy?" Aisha complained and looked around angrily.

Jazlyn smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the scenery while waiting."

"The scenery?" Aisha suddenly smiled meaningfully. She caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the distance with someone else. Looking at the man and the woman sitting by the window of the coffee shop on the left side of the road, she said slowly, "It's really a beautiful scenery!"

"Isn't it?" Jazlyn followed Aisha's gaze. "There are so many people coming and going."

"Nah. Not that." Aisha turned to look at Jazlyn. "Look closely at the two people sitting there!" Aisha pointed at a coffee shop and asked, "Do you recognize that man?"

Jazlyn looked in the direction where Aisha was pointing, and then her eyes widened in bewilderment.

In the delicately decorated coffee shop, a man and a woman were sitting by the window. The man looked calm and seemed to be having a great time. The woman he was with looked happy as well. The two were talking casually, looking very harmonious. If someone else saw them, he or she would have guessed that the two were a couple! But, how could that man be Lucas? Jazlyn could not believe her eyes! He was supposed to be in the hospital watching over William, right? What was he doing with that woman?

Unconsciously, Jazlyn clenched her fists. She stared at Lucas's side face, and the anger in her eyes became more intense. Without thinking, she suddenly opened the door of the car and got off. Then, she ran towards the other side of the road, barely glancing at the incoming cars.

"Oh, girl! You are in love!" Aisha shrugged and shouted at Jazlyn's back, "I'm leaving! I won't wait for you! Try hard on Lucas! Come on! Don't spare him!¹'

Inside the coffee shop, Lucas stirred his coffee with a spoon, feeling a little bored. William was still lying in the hospital. He wondered when he could finish the coffee and go back. He felt so frustrated and bored!

"Luc, you haven't come back to America for such a long time. Your mom misses you so much." The woman sitting opposite to Lucas looked at him gently and said, "When Aunt knew that I would be back, she told me to come see you. How are you doing?"

"Tell her I'm fine!" Lucas raised his head and smiled. "I'll go back to the US after my friend gets married. Thank you for coming to see me anyway."

"Not at all. I love seeing you, Luc." The woman smiled shyly and looked at him affectionately. "Luc, can I go back to the US together with you then?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

'Luc? Go back to the US together?'

As soon as Jazlyn rushed into the coffee shop, she overheard their conversation. Her heart inexplicably burst into anger.

"I..." When Lucas was about to answer, he suddenly saw a black shadow at the corner of his eye. Suddenly, the sound of a fist hitting the table echoed.

"Ah!" The woman sitting opposite to Lucas was startled. She looked up and saw a woman glaring at her. Her body shrank in fear and she asked in panic-stricken voice, "Luc, who is this woman?"

He raised his head to look at the person who had made a noise. When he saw her, his mouth opened wide. With a frown, he stood up at once. "Jazlyn? Hey! Why are you here?" "Why am I here? Humph!" Jazlyn glared at Lucas with anger, unwillingness, and grievance in her eyes. All these emotions combined were what she was feeling in her heart.

'How could Lucas stop pestering me? Did he really forget what happened that night? How could he invite another woman to have coffee here leisurely? Why didn't he invite me here instead?! I won't allow this! Lucas Murong, you're dead!'

"Luc..." The woman called out Lucas's name in a sweet voice, which made Jazlyn's ears buzz.

"Shut up!" Jazlyn pounded the table again and shouted, "I'm warning you, stay away from Lucas! Also, stop calling him Luc! Don't ever be with him alone! Lucas is my man and mine alone! Don't try to get close to him, or else I'll kick your ass!"

Both Lucas and the woman were stunned by Jazlyn's outburst.

"Jazlyn, have you gone insane?" Lucas asked in a daze once he came back to his senses.

"Come with me!" Jazlyn suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him forward.

"Stop! What are you doing?! Let's make it clear first!" Lucas protested as he shook off Jazlyn's hand.

The noise of the two attracted the curious onlookers in the shop. Realizing that people were staring at them, Jazlyn blushed. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. She clutched her belly and shouted at Lucas with tears in her eyes, "Aren't you going with me? Can't you see how pitiful I am?! How could you drink coffee with this woman? I'm pregnant with your baby, Lucas! Please come with me first. Let's discuss everything privately once and for all."

'What the fuck!'

Lucas's heart skipped a beat when he recalled the night he did not take any protective measures with her. He stared at her with utter shock. 'This woman couldn't really...'

"Go out with me. Let's talk outside." Lucas grabbed Jazlyn's hand and dragged her out of the cafe, leaving the stunned and confused woman behind.

The woman picked up her phone and made a longdistance call. "Hello? Aunt, it's me. Luc... Luc has made a woman pregnant!"
