When did he get there? Mary was stunned.
At this moment, the big screen on the square suddenly lit up. The bright light illuminated the whole beach.
In the noisy crowd, Mary's side face became redder under the light. She looked at William with a little shyness. She still had not recovered from what had happened earlier!
William smiled and walked towards her slowly, step by step.
"Let's go."
He approached Mary and took her hand. He led her forward along the shore.
"You," Mary asked, "where are we going?"
"Anywhere is fine," William said as he gripped Mary's hand tighter.
'Just holding your hand like this, and walking with you side by side is enough for me. I don't care where we go as long as you're by my side.'
An inexplicable sense of happiness spread around the two. William felt as if a big stone was no longer crushing his heart. Finally, he was relieved. 'With you, Mary, it is more reassuring than having the whole world.'
William and Mary trudged along the shore.
"Mary, " said William lightly
either. I'll call him to ask what happened!"
"Did he want to take revenge on us so he took our children away?"
"He is not that kind of person!" Mary frowned, guilty for what she did to him.
Beep! Beep!
Mary held the phone anxiously, waiting for Barry's response but his line was busy.
"He did not answer," Mary murmured. A bad feeling emerged in her heart. "No, I have to go back."
"What? Now?" Hearing that, William pulled a long face and said, "Mary, are you kidding me? Look! I'm now... Look at me now! Do you want me to go crazy? Please!"
Mary tilted her head and saw William's status which made her face flushed. She turned her head away immediately and said, "I must go find Alick and Elissa! Where could Robert take them? Get dressed quickly. Let's go together!"
William did not say anything.
Children always came the first! 'First, I need to find those kids then... Humph!' William wiped his face helplessly.
"Gee! I can't continue wearing my clothes now!" Mary exclaimed after examining her clothes.
