Chapter 247 Illusion (Part Two)

The bright light was not as bright as his passionate eyes. Moreover, Aisha was mesmerized by his tenderness.

William looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle gaze. He just could not get enough of her face. All of a sudden, a thought came to his mind. He gently held up her chin, and slowly lowered his head. Inch by inch, his lips moved towards hers.

Aisha closed her eyes nervously.

Their lips moved nearer and nearer, and they could feel each other's breaths as they moved closer.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

All of a sudden, a ringtone broke the romantic atmosphere. Aisha opened her eyes in an instant.

William angrily took out his phone and hung up coldly. "Where were we?" he asked slyly. It was unusual for Mary to cooperate with him in public. He could not miss this chance!

Ring! Ring!

Before the atmosphere could even recover, his phone rang again.

"Wait for me," William said to the woman gently. When he turned to answer the phone call, his voice changed into a fierce tone. "It's so late. What's up? Tell me!"

"Boss," said Kevin on the other end of the line, "there is a problem with the bidding of the land in the old district in northwest. You need to come here immediately."

Frowning, William responded, "I'll be right there."

"Okay, sir."

"Something happened in the company. I have to go now. Wait for me!" After hanging up the phone, William nodded to the store manager. He then patted Aisha's back to comfort her and strode away.

Ais

ncle, you know her?" Ray was taken aback and almost jumped up with excitement.

"Yes, she and I—" Barry suddenly paused. Thinking of the terrible night he had spent with Selah, it was a little difficult for him to face the little boy in front of him. "Your mother and I... we work together."

"Uncle, could you please take care of my mother?" Ray fumbled as he searched for Barry's hand. When he found it, he held it gently and sincerely. "My mother has been working hard alone."

"Well, if that's the case then I will." Barry nodded, raised his hand, and touched Ray's head gently.

Selah's son was very considerate. He knew he loved his mother very much. Barry wondered if Ray's father would regret knowing that he had such a good child.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ray grinned and said, "Uncle, you are so kind. You must recover as soon as possible! Otherwise, I will be very sad!"

"Don't worry. I... I'm fine."

"Ray, it's getting late. It's time for you to go to bed," said the nurse who accompanied Ray.

"All right." Ray nodded his head and turned to Barry again. "Uncle, you should go to bed early too. I'll come see you every day until you recover. Mom always tells me that a boy who is brave enough to apologize is a real man. Uncle, please forgive me!"

"You are a good sensible man. How can I not forgive you?" Barry's heart softened and he said, "Then you should go back and rest as soon as possible. I'll wait for you here tomorrow!"

"Okay. Good night, uncle!"
