Chapter 25 Returning Home
Half an hour later, Mary surfed the Internet again. As expected, she saw the headline was removed from the entertainment news page.
"It works well." Taking a sip of coffee, in fact, William came back this morning to deal with this matter. He didn't expect that the matter was settled well by Mary.
"Although it have been removed?" Mary closed the website and said, "But many people have seen it and the topic is getting more and more intense. I'm afraid that I will make a mistake, so I'd better call the public relation department. Wait a minute." Mary took out the cell phone and said in a hurry, "Hello? HMM... Today's entertainment news. Yeah. Deal with it right away. Yes, hurry up."
Standing quietly aside and looking at the busy Mary, the softest place in William's heart seemed to be filled with satisfaction.
After hanging up the phone, Mary raised her head and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing," said William, who looked away quietly and suddenly asked, "Are your feet okay?"
"Oh, almost." Lowering her head, Mary didn't expect him to remember her wound.
"In that case, let's go back to A-city together. There is almost nothing to do here."
"Okay, fine." "Then I'll book the air ticket." Mary nodded.
"I have done that." "Let's leave this afternoon," said William.
"So soon..." Mary frowned and mumbled, "What a dictatorial man! Can you tell me in advance in the future?"
Looking at her, William said nothing and turned to pack up.
After changing her shoes, Mary was about to go out to find something to eat. When she opened the door, she saw Victor who was opening the door opposite her. She couldn't help but sigh, "What a coincidence."
"Yes," nodded Victor with a smile, "What are you going to do?"
"Have something."
Mary answered naturally, but the smile at the corners of Victor's mouth was even greater.
"What are you smiling at?" Mary was kind of confused and angry.
"No, no," explained Victor in a hurry, "I just feel that every time I see you, you are about to have something to eat."
"Well," Mary's face turned red, "Coincidence, coincidence... Then, are you going to shoot?"
"Yes," nodded Victor, "I will stay in Shanghai to shoot recently. What about you? When will you go back?"
"I'll leave this afternoon."
"So soon..." "In fact, there's nothing important. It's better to go back early." Victor said.
"Yes, that's true," a sense of hunger arose in her stomach. Mary quickly said, "Then I'll go first."
"Wait a minute..." "The news this morning..." said Victor.
"Did you see it too?" "Nowadays, reporters like to make groundless accusations. What they say is not reliable at all. It's too ridiculous..." Mary explained.
Victor's face suddenly darkened. He pursed his lips and said, "in fact, you don't have to keep your mouth shut to me like this. I know everything about them. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me..." Victor was a brilliant man. Looking at his aggrieved face, Mary suddenly felt sorry for him. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say, because she felt that her mind was really useless at the moment. 'What does Victor's words mean? ?'
"Mary?"
"Who... Who are they?" "I... I don't understand." Mary raised her head and asked confusedly.
Victor frowned and said after a while, "Since you don't want to tell me, just take it as an unnecessary move. I'm leaving now."
"Alas..." Looking at the back of Victor, Mary called him, but he went away as if he didn't hear her.
When Mary was about to think about it again, her stomach interrupted her, "well... Let's go for meal first."
At the elevator, Jorge, Victor's agent saw this scene and shook his head.
"Victor, stay away from her. You can't afford to offend her."
"I'm not offending her. I'm helping her."
"Why should you help her? Does she need your help? Jorge said earnestly, "Victor, you just need to take good care of yourself... Got it?"
"I see." Victor put his hand in. The pocket and kept silent.
When they arrived at the airport in the afternoon, Mary knew that Frank would go back with them.
"Nice to meet you again, Mary." Wearing sunglasses, Frank greeted her with a smile.
"Nice to meet you." Mary looked a little timid.
"Let's go." The four took their boarding passes and went to the waiting hall with the order of William.
William was standing side by side with Frank. Mary looked at their backs and thought that the two of them looked like a perfect match.
"A perfect match? !" A trace of embarrassment flashed through Mary's mind. "How can two men be a perfect match? Was she really affected by the news this morning? Was she poisoned too much?" In the waiting hall, the phone of William rang all of a sudden.
"Hello? Father." There was a hint of unnoticeable nervousness in the low voice of William. "Yes, she's next to me. Okay, it won't affect. Right... We can go back to the old house in the evening."
As soon as she raised her head, Mary happened to meet the inquiring eyes of William. For a moment, she looked like a thief who was caught. She could only smile awkwardly.
"Go back to the old house after getting off the plane." Said William slightly to Mary.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"What? What's up?"
"Sort of," said Mary, biting her lips. "I want to go to the hospital to see my mother."
"I'll go with you."
"Don't bother," Mary shook her hands. "The doctor didn't call me, which means my mother is still in a coma. You don't have to go. I can go to see her by myself."
"You're talking too much, Mary." Hearing William's words, Mary was confused.
Sitting in the plane, Mary's mind was in a mess. It had only been more than a week since she married to William. It seemed that life had become very busy. With one hand on her forehead, Mary was so tired that she felt that she would not love anyone anymore.
"Bro William, do you want to have a rest?" Frank said, sitting on the left side of William.
"No, thanks."
"Okay," Frank nodded. "Bro William, have you settled today's scandal?"
"Almost settled. "
"Sorry to bother you.
"It doesn't matter."
Sitting on the right side of William and listening to the conversation between the two people, Mary gradually felt sleepy. At last, her consciousness stopped at the conclusion of 'Frank spoke too much'. "Hello, Mary. Wake up. We're off the plane."
Hearing the voice of William, Mary sat up at once. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Frank and Kevin were speechless.
Hearing that, William just shook his head. He was immune to the waking reaction of Mary. "We're almost there. Wake up."
"Ah... Okay." Rubbing her misty eyes, Mary thought to herself, 'It's really terrible to hear the voice of William in my dream.'
Sure enough, the sweet voice of the airline stewardess immediately sounded in the cabin. The plane steadily slid over the sky of A-city and stopped at the wide airport.
On their way home, Frank said goodbye to Kevin and the others.
Sitting in the car, William hesitated for a long time before he said, "If father asks about today's news..."
"Don't worry. I will help you." Mary promised, patting her chest.
Looking at her, William was so grateful that he wanted to say thank you, but he didn't do so finally. He was a proud man. In the business world, he always tried his best to make no concession. In life, only others could beg him. It was difficult for him to say thank you.
Seeing the hesitant look on his face, Mary said directly, "You don't have to thank me. It's my duty. I took your money and I should help you." Hearing that, William smiled and became in a good mood. He suddenly closed his eyes and said, "Let's take wedding photos tomorrow." His tone was as if he was the emperor who was in a good mood and wanted to forgive every one. The only thing others could is to accept it.
"What?!" However, when Mary heard what he said, she was shocked and stammered, "I... I just want to do you a little favor. You don't have to marry me..."
"..." Hearing that, William rubbed his eyebrows. As expected, he couldn't talk to Mary in a normal way. He sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't mean that." "Then, then what do you want?" Mary's face was very red.
"Didn't father ask us to take wedding photos before the business trip?" "Don't you forget it?" asked William.
"Well..." Mary recalled for a while and realized something. "I'm too tired recently. I don't remember..."
"It's good that you remember it this time." Taking out his phone and checking the time, William said, "Take wedding photos to set our father's mind, and the media's minds also." "HMM..." Mary nodded. Although she was absent-minded for a moment, she said yes anyway
"You... Do you mind it?" Said William hesitantly.
"No, I don't." Mary smiled. Although she said she didn't mind, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It was said that the most beautiful time in a woman's life was when she was the bride, but she had to take wedding photos with someone she had no feelings for. No matter what she thought, she felt uncomfortable.
"Judging from your expression," said William indifferently. "It seemed that you minded it very much. "
"How could I?" "I have you with me. And..." Mary said casually. "If you pay me, I will help you."
"Okay, fine." The only smile on William's face disappeared in an instant. He had forgotten that he had bought a 'wife' with money. She and he were just the employer and the employee.
The two of them had different thoughts, and neither of them spoke again.
When Mary was still lost in thought, William had already driven the car to the hospital.
"Thank you." After expressing her thanks to William in surprise, Mary took him all the way to the hospital.
"Your mother's health..." Said William with his hands in. The pocket, "I know some doctors who are my friends. How about asking them to check on your mother?"
"Forget it," said Mary with a forced smile. Before she could say anything, her eyes had turned red. "I'm afraid... It's useless."☐☐☐
