Time went by unhurriedly. It had been three months since the birth of Babe, and some people already began to urge her parents to hold the wedding.
Meanwhile, Mary did not understand why other people were keener on her own wedding than she was. She thought that holding a wedding ceremony was not a big deal. They had already got the marriage certificate, sworn vows, and even the wedding dress had been worn several times. A wedding ceremony between her and William would just be a symbolism.
Neither did William mention it, nor did Mary ask about it. Everything seemed to be fine.
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. Alick and Elissa were playing in the swimming pool of the villa, while Mary was watching them play. She lay on the deck chair with Babe in her arms.
As soon as William's car entered the villa, he saw the warm scene. The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously slightly.
His car honked loudly which attracted Mary's and the children's attention.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
As expected, both of Alick and Elissa climbed up from the swimming pool and ran towards William.
"Oh, Little Babe, your father is back!" Mary also stood up with h
y simple. It's the same as holding a puppy!"
"Eh..." Watts was speechless at her response.
Without any hesitation, Mary put the little baby into Watts's arms. He took her over in a hurry. The little baby's saliva from her mouth dripped on his suit.
Watts held the little guy carefully and murmured, "Why is she so tiny?"
Looking at this scene, Mary raised her eyebrows and thought, 'Watts is not young anymore. It's time to get married, isn't it? Well, the new assistant in the company is good. That young actress will do either. I wonder if there is a good candidate in William's company.'
"Waa! Waa! Waa!"
While Mary was engrossed in thought, the little baby suddenly burst into tears which startled Watts. "What's wrong, madam? I..."
"You held her too tight!" Mary exclaimed with amusement. She patted Watts's hand and instructed him, "Hold her bottom."
After changing his clothes, William came out of the villa as promised. To his surprise, he saw from a distance that Mary and Watts were talking and laughing about something. Moreover, they were standing very close to each other. Because of this, William's face immediately darkened.
