Chapter 8 I Am William
Mary was a little confused.
Didnât Steve go out for a walk to exercise just now?
Then who was this?
She looked at the little guy in front of her who was eating quickly with chopsticks.
âYouâ¦â
The woman sat in front of him and studied his face. âYou are not Steve, are you?â
Jamesâs hand paused slightly. He raised his face stained with oil, âI am!â âAre you his younger brother?
Older brother?â Mary asked with her hands crossed over her chest.
Her memory would not go wrong, and if she looked carefully, the temperament of the little fellow in front of her was different from that of Steveâs. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, James could only pout, âAlright, my name is James.â
âSteve is my older brother.â âWilliam is my daddy.â
â!â Mary.
âYou and Steve⦠are both Mr. Notmanâs children?â
âYes.â The little fellow took a big bite out of the prawn.
Mary was confused. Before they got married, no one told her that Mr. Notman had twin sons.
Andâ¦
Mr. Notman looked like that. But his two sons were so handsome and cute! After a while, she glanced at James. âSince you and Steve are twins, why did you pretend to be him?â
She finally understood why every time Steve went upstairs and came down, he would changed his personality.
Because they were two people! James lowered his head to eat, not daring to answer. That night, he scared her so badly that he was afraid that she would know. Not long after, Steve also came back from a walk.
Chapter BI Am William âDid you find out?â
The little guy guessed what had happened as soon as he entered. He sat down on the chair and elegantly picked up his chopsticks. As he ate, he looked at his younger brother mockingly, âI told you that you wouldnât be able to hide for long.â James rolled his eyes at him, quickly finished the food in the bowl, and went upstairs. Mary frowned, âHe only eats this much?â âHe usually eats a lot.â âHowever, his identity has been exposed. He is feeling shy.â âAfter all, he is a child. Too sensitive,â Steve explained lightly. ââ¦â
Mary
You speak as if you are not a child.
âFrom tomorrow onwards, my brother and I will try our best to address you as Mommy,â Steve said as he ate gracefully.
âCongratulations, you have two handsome sons,â he said as he raised his pair of sparkling eyes to look at her. âMarry one, and you get two for free.â âYouâve made a profit,â the little fellow said seriously and maturely. Mary, ââ¦â
In fact, she was impulsive to marry William. Her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her, and the Cutts family treated her as a servant and constantly emotionally blackmailed her. That was why she chose to get married. But⦠she never thought that she would be a mother to a pair of twins! After dinner, she was ready to have a good talk with Mr. Notman.
She thought that she was not mature enough and might not be qualified to be a stepmother.
âMr. Notman is a little busy today, but I also understand that you and Mr. Notman are newlyweds. You canât be apart from each other.â
âIâm going to call Mr. Notman now and ask him to come back!â the butler said with a sneaky smile. âI donâtâ¦â
Mary looked at the housekeeperâs excited back. Did he misunderstand something?
Chapter 9 I Am William
Sitting on the sofa, she watched a comedy while waiting for Mr. Notman to come back.
The movie was funny, and Maryâs mood gradually improved. Untilâ¦
She saw the man from the morning open the door and come in. Mary was suddenly alarmed. âWhy are you here again?â Mr. Notman would be back soon. Why did he come here at this time? Moreover, why did he have the key here? âThen let me ask you? Whose home is this? Why are you here?â The man in a suit
elegantly unbuttoned his suit and asked coldly. âThis is Mr. Notmanâs home. I am Mr. Notmanâs wife. Of course, I am here,â Mary said with a frown. âWhat about you? Who are you?â she asked, looking at him.
The man hung his suit jacket on the coat rack and glanced at her indifferently. âI am William Notman.â
The air in the living room instantly fell silent.
Mary looked at the handsome man in front of her in shock. Her eyes were full of
confusion. He was Mr. Notman? That was impossible. She had clearly seen Mr. Notman that night. He looked terrifying and horrible, just like the rumors! Probably seeing through the womanâs thoughts, William gracefully walked into the living room. âWhat you saw that night was part of Jamesâs prank.â
Mary,â..
The one that night was James? She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes full of astonishment. In the morning, she was too flustered and did not take a closer look. Now, looking at his cold face, she finally understood that she could not blame Steve and James for being so handsome. It turned out that the genes were good. âSoâ¦â
The woman was so shocked that her voice was shaking. âYou were not disfigured in the fire five years ago?â
Chapter 8 I Am William Banyan City had a well-known story. Five years ago, the third young master of the Notman family suffered burns from a big fire. After the fire, his face was ruined and his temperament changed greatly.
Mary had even heard of the rumor that he tortured two fiancees to death.
But now, this cold and indifferent man in front of her made it impossible for her to associate him with the rumored Mr. Notman.
The womanâs stunning gaze made William frown slightly.
He looked at her coldly. âJames said you prepared dinner for me?â In fact, William originally had a business dinner tonight, but the two little ghosts in his family forced him to come back.
Steve hacked into his computer and used his name to send emails to his partner to cancel the dinner party. James called the old man and said that he had not properly developed feelings with his new wife.
The housekeeper and the old man took turns to bombard him, saying that his new wife was preparing dinner and waiting for him at home. Only then did he helplessly return. As soon as he entered, this woman, who was rumored to be infatuated with him, did not even know that he was her husband.
âDinner?â
Mary was stunned. She quickly got up and went to the kitchen. âHavenât you eaten
yet?â
The remaining food in the evening was all brought to James by Steve. She opened the refrigerator, looked at the few ingredients in it, and turned to look at him. âDo you want to eat noodles?â âYou didnât prepare it for me?â the man asked with a raised brow.
His low and cold voice sounded a little unhappy. Mary bit her lips. She knew that he definitely felt that she was incompetent as a wife.
âI didnât know when you would come back. I donât want you to eat leftovers, so I want to make you a separate meal.â
âAfter all, in my heart, you are different from the others.â After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at him with a smile. When Mary smiled, her pair of bright eyes curved into crescent moons.
She was very cute.
Williamâs heart inexplicably moved.
Chapter 8 I Am William
Perhaps this woman really had fate with the two little guys in his family? When she smiled, she was just like James, dazzling like a small sun. Looking at her like this, he could not say any more words. The man turned around and sat down on the sofa. He turned off the TV coldly and began to work with his phone.
Mary, who was in the kitchen, let out a long sigh of relief. She finally managed to get over it. Starting tomorrow, she was going to put the matter of cooking for Mr. Notman into her phoneâs memo!
Ten minutes later, a bowl of piping hot egg noodles was served on the table.
âMr. Notman, itâs time to eat.â
After a long time, the cold and aloof man stood up and sat in front of the dining table. His eating manners were extremely elegant. It was the first time that Mary had seen a person eat in such a noble manner.
She looked at William and was unconsciously lost in thought.
âYou like to watch?â
âIf you like it, you can watch for a lifetime.â The manâs low voice was neither hurried nor slow.
