Chapter 308 Short Letter ( Part One)
While smiling, Alick and Elissa hugged each other and looked at their parents, who were showing
off their love.
"You have made a promise, and your proposal has been epted," said Archer while touching his
nose. "In my opinion, you can get the marriage certificate today. What do you say?"
"Isn''t it too fast?" Aisha asked with a frown.
"Not fast at all. The sooner they register for marriage, the earlier they can rest assured!" Lucas
snickered and looked at William with raised eyebrows and sly expression.
"It''s good to settle down early." Amy, who had not spoken for a long time, grinned from ear to ear.
"Yes." Timothy nodded in agreement. "Now that Mary is pregnant again, we should give her an
identity in our family as soon as possible."
"Mary, what do you think?" Blinking his starry eyes, William moved closer to Mary. Although he was
just asking, deep in his heart, he wanted it. If Mary agreed, he would take her to the Civil Affairs
Bureau right away. All of a sudden, he felt that what Archer had said today was exactly what he
wanted. He did not want to wait any longer for proposal and the marriage certificate. He had to go to
the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately and keep Mary for himself forever.
Mary hesitated for a moment. She twisted her fingers as she weighed down the situation and asked,
"Isn''t it too hasty? You haven''t fully recovered yet, and I''m still a patient myself. I think we''d better go
there another day, when we''re bothpletely okay."
The light in William''s eyes dimmed. He pursed his lips slightly, touched Mary''s belly with his big
hand, and mumbled to himself as if he wasining. "It doesn''t really matter. My wound has
healed, and it won''t take long for us to get a marriage certificate."
"Uncle William can''t wait!" Ray''s words made everyone in the room blush. Looking at William''s
flustered expression, they all held back theirughter.
Mary felt heat on her ears. She, too, blushed in humiliation.
"Since Mary thinks it''s too hasty to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, don''t push her. We can wait until
she''s ready," Amy said, saving Mary and William from the embarrassment. "I''ll go back and pick a
good day from the calendar. After that, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the marriage
certificate."
"Thank you, Aunt Amy!" Mary thanked her in a hurry. When she saw the resentful look in William''s
eyes, she could not help but burst intoughter.
"It''s gettingte," said Barry as he looked at the time on his watch. "I have to send Ray to school
now. William, please take good care of Mary from now on. Don''t hurt her again. You know what will
happen if you do."
"Humph! I will love and spoil her for the rest of my life!" William curled his lips in disdain. "You''d
better leave now."
"Daddy Barry, why does Ray have to go to school today?" Elissa looked up at him and asked
innocently.
"I''m going to the sports meeting today." Ray touched her little head and said in a proud voice, "Mom
and Dad wille with me together."
"Great! Can Ie with you as well?" Elissa asked again while blinking her eyes.
"Sure." Barry nodded in agreement. "Come with Daddy Barry, Elissa."
"Yeah! Great!" Elissa then jumped to Ray''s side.
"Hey, I haven''t agreed yet..." William''s face darkened.
"I don''t care. I must go with Ray!" With her nose wrinkled, Elissa hid behind Ray and red at
William.

"I..." William was stunned upon hearing his daughter. He turned to look at Mary with grievance and
pouted like a kid. "Mary, Elissa is ring at me. Our daughter doesn''t like me anymore."
"Be serious!" She pushed him yfully.
Barry shook his head in amusement and asked, "Alick, do you want to join us?"
Alick thought for a while with his head tilted to one side. Before he could say anything, Lucas
shouted, "Alick, listen to me! You must go with your sister. Take good care of her. Don''t let her
be a member of the Gu family at such a young age."
The boy nodded as if he understood what Lucas had meant. "Then I''ll go with you, Daddy Barry."
"Good boy. That''s my good boy," said Lucas with a sessful smile.
Barry bade goodbye to the others and led the three children out. When he opened the door, he
found that Sh did not follow them. He turned around angrily, grabbed her arm, and pulled her
forward. "What are you thinking about? Hurry up!
"What? Oh." It was not until then that Sh came back to her senses. With a blush on her face, she
said shyly, "Mary, I''m leaving! Take care."
"Well, have a good time with Ray today!" Mary waved at her with a smile and whispered in William''s
ear, "Hee hee. I''m so happy for them! Barry seems to have a good development with her."
Seeing such a happy scene, William nodded his head in agreement. "The faster their development
is, the better. Barry is my strongest rival in love. Without him, I feel much more relieved."
"William, you''ve changed." She was stunned at his remark. The William Lan she had known would
never say such stupid words. He had always beenposed and calm.
"Men are all like this," Jazlyn exined on behalf of William. "Once he falls in love with a woman, he
will be like a child. The coldness and disguise he used to have will be gone. After that, he''ll
just say whateveres into his mind."
"It seems that you are an expert in men!" Lucas stared at Jazlyn with dubious look.
"Of course, I have rich experiences!" Jazlyn raised her head and snorted proudly.
"Alright! Alright!" Aisha waved her hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "William, I have
handed my sister to you. With your promise, I can rest assured and leave."
"Where are you going?" Mary grabbed her hand in a hurry.
"Don''t worry, it''s not a mission." Aisha patted the back of Mary''s hand and added, "I''m going back to
the US for a short period of time. I may not be able toe back in the near future."
"Why are you going back? Is the punishment over?" Mary held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
She did not know if it was because of her pregnancy that she felt a little sentimental recently. When
she heard that Aisha was leaving, she was very sad.
"I have to go there before Ie back!" Aisha smiled and exined, "I want to go back to the
headquarters to apply for a relocation. I don''t want to be separated from my dear sister. If my
application is sessful, I will move into A City. I won''t have to go back to the United States
anymore."
"Really? That''s great news!" Mary smiled with a relief. "It''s time for you toe back. You have
been wandering around for so many years."
"Yes." Aisha nodded. She did not want to wander around any longer either.
"When are you leaving?"
"I''m leaving today."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mary asked with a frown.
"I want to move back as soon as possible. Don''t worry about me, okay? Let''s get in touch anytime."
"Okay." Mary nodded in agreement. "I''ll go back with you," Archer suddenly said to Aisha.
"Why are you going back?" she asked.
"My home is over there, okay?" With his hands in his pockets, Archer smiled. "Besides, you''re going
back. Why should I stay here?"
"I''ll go back with you too," interjected Lucas. He looked at Jazlyn and added, "I''ll go back to my
home too."
Aisha pursed her lips. Obviously Lucas wanted to go with Jazlyn, but he did not want to admit it.
What a loser!
The group of four left after bidding their farewell. Timothy stood up and said, "It''s time for us to leave
as well. You two, have a good rest."
Holding Timothy''s arm, Amy smiled at both William and Mary. "Take good care of yourselves. I''ll
bring you lunch at noon."
"Thank you, Aunt Amy!"
"Father, take care!"
Only four people were left in the ward now. "Victor," called Ena as she tugged his sleeve, "let''s go."
