Chapter 98 Forget Him

"Do you love him?" Lucas gave Mary an uncomfortable stare, as if he wanted to see right through her heart.

Did she love him or not? Mary didn't even have to think twice about her response.

Her answer was as clear as day, but she didn't dare to acknowledge her feelings anymore because they were not reciprocated. It was useless to talk about a one sided love affair. However, deep down in her heart she couldn't pretend that she didn't love him no matter how much she tried to convince herself.

"Don't bother answering the question, I can already tell from your expression," Lucas said with a smile, "I still remember when William called me and told me that he was married. I rushed back from abroad because I just wanted to take a peek at the person who had stolen William's heart and permanently removed him from the bachelors list."

"And then what happened? Were you disappointed?"

"Yes, a little. Especially when I saw how she looked." Lucas rubbed his nose as he was talking.

"Well..." Mary hadn't expected him to be so "direct" and express his feelings in such detail.

"Ha ha, I'm just kidding." Lucas chuckled at her uncomfortable expression, showing his white pearly teeth that were lined like a toothpaste advertisement. "I think you are the perfect match for him."

"Ha ha..." Mary sighed and smiled.

"It's a pity that he is so stubborn," Lucas said suddenly turning serious. "He insists on following that contract to the letter and, yet you fell in love with him. Mary, that is a very dangerous situation for you to find yourself in."

Mary gulped the noodles she was chewing when her mouth suddenly went dry as if the noodles had absorbed all the saliva from her mouth. Although it was a small bite, it still felt as if she had swallowed a huge potato.

"I know what you mean," Mary hurriedly spoke then took a huge sip of water, to remedy the choking feeling on her throat.

"After knowing you, I feel that he doe

am adjusted his seat and then sat down, wiping the barely visible sweat from his eyebrows.

Mary!

William almost jerked from his seat and opened his eyes when Mary's face appeared in his mind. It suddenly occurred to him that he had left Mary at the family house.

"Damn it..." William cursed and looked for his phone in his pockets.

Fortunately, his phone was in one of his pockets. William breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone only to find that it was powered off.

"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your phone and don't use it for the time being. Thank you," The stewardess came over and said with a smile.

Lowering his head, William took a look at his phone, which had already been turned off. Then he closed his eyes and put it back into his pocket.

'Mary, are you okay?'

Meanwhile at Maple Mountain, Tokyo, Japan.

"Why did you ask me out?" Frank followed Corbett out of the mansion with a disgusted and angry look.

"Nothing. Just wanted you to accompany me while I take a walk."

Frank glared at him. If it weren't for the fact that a dozen guns were pointed at his back, he would have beaten up the man named Corbett.

"We are on Maple Mountain," said Corbett as he walked ahead. "Today, is your lucky day, you will be privileged to see the whole Maple Mountain."

"I'm not interested," Frank said with clenched teeth.

"My friend," said Corbett with a smile, "don't jump to such conclusions so early."

"Ha ha..." Cobert laughed heartily at his own suggestion Frank sneered with disdain and decided he wasn't going to bother talking to him anymore.

They walked along a mountain path for more than twenty minutes and finally reached a flat place on top of the mountain.

"This is the Maple Mountain." Corbett looked into the distance and smiled.

Frank wiped the sweat off his face and looked up. At a glance, he was attracted by the magnificent scenery in front of him.
