Chapter 157 Long Time No See (Part Two)


    "Do you want to be with him?" asked Victor as he stared into Mary''s eyes .


    "I..." With aplicated look on her face, Mary wore a smile. "Let''s not talk about that. Let''s talk


    about the movie instead."


    "Do I still have a chance?" asked Victor seriously, without moving an inch.


    "Victor, I don''t want to—"


    "Mary!" All of a sudden, a voice came from afar. It was Ena, the female lead of the movie.


    Ena ran to her, clutching a small bag on her back.


    "Ena, you are here!" Mary said, breathing a sigh of relief.


    "Yes, Mary." Ena nodded. When she turned her head, she saw Victor. Her face immediately turned


    red and she stammered, "Victor... Victor?"


    "Wow! Where did youe from? You are so pretty!" said Victor with a yful smile.


    "I... My name is Ena!"


    "Ena?" Victor raised his eyebrows. "Yes!" Ena answered while nodding.


    "I like your name," said Victor, still looking at Ena with a smile. "How old are you? What are you


    doing here?"


    "Don''t flirt with her anymore, okay? She is the heroine of my movie. You two will be partners," Mary


    said, shaking her head.


    "Well, I see," said Victor. He nodded and stretched out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Ena!"


    "Nice to meet you too!" Ena held out her hand excitedly and shook Victor''s hand tightly.


    In the meeting room, Victor was reading the script, while Ena nced at him from time to time.


    Mary saw what Ena was doing and giggled but said nothing.


    The script readingsted for half a day. When Victor had already finished reading, he suddenly said,


    "No. I cannot shoot this movie."


    "Why?" Mary was shocked by his sudden refusal. "Is there anything wrong?"


    "This script..." Victor frowned and turned to Ena. "Ena, could you go out for a minute?"


    "I..." Looking at Victor and Mary, she nodded.


    "This is your story! The heroine is you." Seeing that Ena had already gone, Victor continued, "In


    order to have money for her brother''s treatment, she chooses to marry a man who buys marriage


    with money."


    "I admit that I thought of myself when I was writing the story. However, that is just a source of


    inspiration, and this story is not adapted from my affairs," Mary answered in a stern tone.


    "Mary, why can''t you forget about him? It''s been four years!" yelled Victor frustratingly.


    "I..." Mary bit her lips, unable to answer his question. Why couldn''t she forget him? Every day when


    she faced her two kids, she would think of William. Telling him that she had already forgotten about


    William would be a lie. Could she even forgive him? Forgive him for hurting her?


    "Victor? Why are you refusing now?" Mary raised her head suddenly. "Because the role I asked you


    to y has something to do with William and you can''t stand it, can you?"


    "I am not..." Mary was in fact true. He had turned down everything that had something to do with


    William.


    "I just think it''s a pity for you to quit the entertainment circle," said Mary. "Many people like the story,


    and the first person I thought of to y the hero was you. I think, after four years, you should have


    already ovee the barrier in your heart, thinking that you''d be able to face it head on. I''m sorry I


    was too reckless and insensitive." Mary looked at Victor and forced a smile. "I''m self-righteous and I


    should''ve considered your feelings. If you don''t want to act, it''s okay. I will find someone else


    instead."


    Mary stood up as if about to leave.


    "Mary!" All of a sudden, Victor grabbed her arm and said, "I''ll do it."


    "Victor..."


    "You win." Victor shrugged. "I''ll do whatever you say."


    "Really?" Mary smiled again.


    "Yes," said Victor while rubbing her hair. "It''s your debut. How can I give away such a good


    opportunity? Besides, even an international superstar is given a small role in this movie. I want to


    experience the feeling of stepping on a giant''s shoulders too, you know?"


    "Humph!" Mary smiled warmly at him. "You are a giant, okay?"


    Standing outside the door, Ena felt sad while looking through the ss window as she watched the


    two people inside.


    "It turns out that those two have a very good rtionship."


    Things seemed to be heading in the right direction. The opening ceremony of "Be Together" went


    smoothly and ording to n. The news that Victor had returned to the entertainment circle


    quickly became a hot topic. The title of "New Pure Goddess Ena" attracted great attention as well.


    Another hot topic was Archer Song. He was the supporting actor but he did not show up at the


    opening ceremony.


    Archer was a half Chinese. His paternal grandfather was Chinese, and his paternal grandmother


    was Dutch. On the other hand, his maternal grandfather was American and his maternal


    grandmother was Korean. His mixed blood of four races did not only make him look handsome, but


    also made him an excellent actor with superb acting skills. In just a year, he had be a star in


    Hollywood with two blockbuster hits.


    However, because of his hectic schedule, he turned down numerous films. Moreover, his


    eptance of the supporting role for "Be Together" sparked media attention. Because of that, this


    movie gained huge expectations.


    After the movie production started, Mary became very busy working in thepany and film set.


    The only thing that bothered her was the divorce with William.


    It seemed that William did not agree to the divorce. He had called thepany many times, asking


    to speak with Mary, but she refused every time. She did not want to have anything to do with


    William anymore.


    One day, when Mary thought she could finally have a good rest, Barry and the two kids took Mary


    out for fun.


    "I want to sleep at home. Dear, let me go please." Barry led her into the car while she protested


    sleepily. "You three can go there. I''m really tired," she said reluctantly.


    "Mommy, you have never taken us out to y!" Elissa said unhappily.


    "Yes, Mommy." Alick agreed. "This is Mommy''s hometown but she has never taken us out. Elissa


    and I really want to y outside!"


    "That''s right," Barry echoed. "It''s time to take them out for fun. Rx yourself. Don''t work so hard.


    I''ll take care of everything."


    "Well, it''s Mommy''s fault," said Mary with a smile. "How about we go out and have a good time


    today?"


    "Yeah!"


    "That''s great, Mommy!"


    "Let''s go!"


    The four of them went to the amusement park for the whole morning. While on the rides, Mary


    screamed at the top of her lungs and her voice became hoarse. At noon, Barry drove them to a


    Chinese restaurant for lunch.

    "Wee. Table for four?"


    "Yes, please." Barry held Elissa in his arms, and Alick was held by Mary. The moment the four


    entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention.


    "Listen to Daddy Barry," said Mary. "Mommy is going to the bathroom."


    "Okay, Mommy. Come back soon!"


    "Okay." She touched their heads then turned around and walked to the bathroom.


    "Come on, Alick, Elissa, what do you want to eat? Look at the pictures and tell me what you want."


    In the private room of the restaurant, William walked out side by side with Frank.


    "Frank," said William, "happy birthday to you. I''ll buy you a gift another day."


    "It doesn''t matter," Frank said with a smile. "I''m already satisfied that you were able to apany


    me for dinner tonight, William."


    "Frank," William sighed and continued, "you have been alone the past few years. Haven''t you ever


    thought of finding someone you''d like to be with?"


    "William, you are still the same, aren''t you?" Frank looked at him.


    "I..." William avoided Frank''s gaze. When William raised his head, he saw a woman walking


    towards him. He said reflexively, "Mary?! "


    Frank''s eyes widened and stared at the person in front of him. "Mary ? You... You''re back!"


    "You..." Mary was also stunned upon seeing William and Frank together. She paused for a moment


    then smiled. "Yes, I''m back."


    "Long time no see." Frank looked at her coldly.


    "Well, long time no see," said Mary while smiling. After saying that, she walked to the bathroom


    without even acknowledging William.


    "Mary!" William grabbed Mary by the hand which made her stop. He turned to Frank and said,


    "Frank, you go first."


    Clenching his fists, Frank snorted, then turned around and left.


    "What are you doing? This is a restaurant! If you dare to act rashly, I will never forgive you!" Mary


    said while looking at William coldly.


    "Mary, you seem so nervous." William wore a charming smile and added, "I''m your husband. Don''t


    hide from me all the time."


    "Humph!" Still ring at him, Mary sneered. "Haven''t you received the summons from the court? I


    think our problem will be solved soon!" "Mary." William bit his lips and said in a pained voice, "I said


    I would not divorce you."


    "But I also said I will divorce you!" And with that, Mary turned around abruptly and walked towards


    the bathroom.


    "The wee party of GM Universing Studios will be on the day after tomorrow. I will be there on


    time," William shouted at her back.


    After saying that, he turned around and left.


    ''The day after tomorrow will be a good opportunity to announce that Mary is my woman. The press


    and many people will be there. No one else can rob her from me,'' William thought.


    "Ouch!"


    When William was in a deep thought, he bumped into a little kid who was running towards him. The


    kid hit William''s leg and fell down.


    "Wah!"


    "I''m sorry!" Hearing that, William immediately lowered his body and pulled the little girl up. "Little girl,


    are you okay?"


    "Uncle!" The little girl raised her head and stopped crying at once when she saw William.


    "Elissa? How are you?" William''s eyes widened as he saw her. He did not expect to meet this cute


    little girl again. "Uncle, you still remember my name! You are awesome!"


    "Yes," said William, rubbing her hair gently. "Why were you running around just now? Did it hurt


    when you fell?"


    "No." Elissa shook her head. "Uncle, are you having dinner here too?"


    "Yes, I just finished eating."


    "We haven''t eaten yet." Elissa pouted and added, "Mommy has note back."


    "Did youe here with your mommy?"


    "Yes." Elissa nodded happily and continued, "And my brother and dad." She pointed at the two


    people sitting by the window not far away. "They''re my brother and daddy!"


    William looked at the direction she was pointing. The two had their backs towards William.


    Nevertheless, he said while smiling faintly, "Your brother and father are both very handsome, aren''t


    they?"


    "Yes! They are so handsome!" Elissa nodded her head enthusiastically. "Uncle, I''m going to find


    Mommy! I can''t talk to you anymore!"


    "Okay," said William with a smile. He reached out and touched her little face. "Goodbye, Elissa!


    "Okay, bye, Uncle!" Elissa waved at him and ran towards the bathroom.


    With his hands in his pockets, William stood up and walked out slowly towards Frank, who was still


    waiting for him.


    Meanwhile, as soon as Mary came out of the washroom, she saw Elissa running.


    "Eh? Elissa, why are you here? Do you want to go to the bathroom?" asked Mary.


    "No. I''ming to find Mommy!" answered Elissa while shaking her head. "Mommy, let''s go! I''m so


    hungry!"


    "Okay, okay!" Mary nodded whileughing. "You are such a foodie!"


    Barry had already finished ordering food when Mary and Elissa went back to their table hand in


    hand. When the food had arrived, they ate happily.


    "William, Mary... When did shee back?" asked Frank while sitting in the car.


    "Not long ago."


    "Then you and she..." A trace of uneasiness shed through Frank''s eyes. "Have you reconciled?"


    William stared at the road ahead and answered after a while, "No."


    Frank breathed a sigh of relief. "But," continued William, "I will make her forgive me. After four


    years, I won''t let her go again. I still love her after all this time."


    Looking at the hopeful eyes and the faint smile on William''s face, Frank swallowed hard. His face


    turned gloomy and fierce.


    ''William, I''ve been waiting for you for four years... I still love you... Don''t you see me anymore?''
