Falling for My Contractual Wife

Brian stared at the screen for a while before making a call.

“Melvin, why did you call at noon?”

The person on the other end paused for a few seconds before saying, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’ve arrived.”

Brian frowned. “Didn’t I tell you that I’m going overseas?”

“Mr. Brian, I’ve become forgetful. I forgot that you’d be flying for seven to eight hours.”

Brian didn’t say anything and hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Melvin looked at Louise, who was staring at him not far away. He lowered his head respectfully and said, “Miss Adkins, aren’t you having your meal?”

Louise smiled. “I saw you rushing out to answer the phone. I thought something urgent had happened at home. It turned out that Brian called you.”

Melvin’s expression was calm as he lowered his head slightly. “Yes, Mr. Brian called to ask about the situation at home.”

Louise nodded, but her gaze was as cold as ice. If she had not rushed out in time, this wretched old man would have told Brian about Grace’s heatstroke!

Back at the dining table, Louise also received a call from Brian.

Louise said coquettishly into the phone, “Don’t worry. I’m eating well… Yes, it’s just that I miss you… Okay, I’ll be careful not to get a heatstroke… Yes, rest early. Goodbye.”

Grace stood in the corner and listened to everything Louise said over the phone.

Presumably, after Brian left, he was still worried about whether Louise had been eatinell and was fine in the hot

weather.

Grace thought, “How considerate!‘ She looked at her injuries and thought again, “Brian has never cared! NôvelDrama.Org © content.

When she thought of that, her entire body turned cold. Now, she only wanted to be free from this misery as soon as possible.

At night, Grace tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind involuntarily replayed the scene of Brian and Louise together.

She burst into tears again, and she bit the blanket desperately to stop herself from making any

sound.

She knew it wasn’t good for the baby. She tried to think of things that would make her happy, but she didn’t seem to have any of them.

Grace lay on the bed and cried until she was tired before falling asleep.

When she woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen, and the bags under her eyes were dark. She looked terrible.

When Louise saw the state Grace was in, she sneered inwardly. She thought, ‘It seemed that she had cried last night. Is she unable to take it anymore when only a day has passed? The exciting part has yet to come!‘

“Miss Adkins, I’m going to change my dressing today. I’ll come back after I’m done.”

Louise looked at Grace and smiled coldly. “Didn’t Dr. Vance send you a lot of medicine yesterday? It’s such a hot day. It’s just a change of dressing. There’s no need to make a special trip!”

Louise snorted and thought, “Don’t even think about leaving!

Grace gritted her teeth. She merely wanted to find a place to rest while she was not changing her dressing because she had not slept well the night before. It seemed that her plan fell through.

“Where’s the medicine? I’ll help you get it,” Louise said as she went to get the first aid kit.

Grace hurriedly ran over. “No need, Miss Adkins. I can do it myself.”

Grace snatched the gauze from Louise’s hand. Louise looked up at the wound on Grace’s forehead, and a ruthless look flashed across her eyes.

She suddenly raised her hand and said, “I’ll help you change the dressing.”

The next second, a swishing sound was heard.

Grace screamed as she felt a sharp tearing sensation on her forehead.
