Chapter 332 Grace locked eyes with Brian and then started pulling away. âLet me go!â
Brian gripped her hand tightly, as if he feared sheâd vanish if he loosened his hold.
âYouâre really here!â
Grace pursed her lips and turned away.
âYou were at the breakfast joint last time, right?â
Suddenly, Brian recalled the woman he met when that movie premiered. It clicked in his mind.
âYou were at the cinema that day too!â
He remembered finding the woman odd. The movie wasnât that moving, yet she sobbed uncontrollably.
Because while others watched the movie, she was living her own And she was the same person he bumped into outside the pharmacy.
The realization made Brianâs grip tighten involuntarily. Sheâd already come back to Capern City, but sheâd been avoiding him.
Just then, the man whoâd been chatting with Brian approached, wearing a hard hat like he was overseeing the project.
âMr. Francis, whoâs this?â
Brian composed himself, but his gaze stayed fixed on Grace. âMy exâwife.â
Grace pursed her lips, reluctant to acknowledge the label.
âMr. Francis, you know weâre done. Thereâs nothing between us. Show some respect.â
Brianâs dark eyes gleamed, a faint smirk playing on his lips. âWho said weâre done? Thereâs unfinished business.â
Grace pursed her lips, knowing he meant the child.
âGet back to work. Send me the project details,â Brian said.
âSure thing, Mr. Francis. Iâll head out.â
The man in the hard hat entered through the steel door.
Grace looked at Brianâs hand, annoyed. âCan you let go now?â
Brian wasnât worried sheâd bolt. She was right here. It was impossible to escape, âWhat brings you here?â
Grace shot him an irritated look. âWhy are you here?â
âIâm behind this tourist project. Just checking in.â
Though Grace anticipated his response, she was still irked. Myrtle Peak held too many memories. âThereâs so many other places. Why here?â Grace thought.
1/2 III J 58 Sat, Chapter 332 Thinking it over, she spat, âWhy develop a tourist spot in the middle of nowhere?â
Brian narrowed his eyes, noting she dodged his question. âI like it. Now, why are you here?â
I grew up here,â Grace muttered, descending the mountain.
Brian trailed after her. âYou grew up here?â
Grace stayed silent, picking up her pace, clearly trying to shake him off.
But Brianâs strides easily matched hers. He kept pace.
Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Contractual Wife 331 Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love ï¤Chapter 153 âWhereâs the kid?â
Grace was silent.
âBoy or girl?â
Still silence.
There was a familiar path. Grace remembered it led to the old house, so she headed that way.
Brian followed, voice stern. âGrace! Answer me!â
âI told you, the childâs got nothing to do with you! Arenât you engaged to Louise? Why bother me?â
Brian had planned not to seek her out, but seeing Grace made him want to draw closer.
