Chapter 116
Falling for My Contractual Wife
Brianâs eyes trembled slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw her petite body kneeling on the ground, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
âDonât think that Iâll be softâhearted just because youâre playing this game with me, Sherman. Louise is my bottom line. Youâve touched my bottom line. Do you understand?â
Grace looked at him and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was really unfamiliar.
She never thought that Brian would be so cold and heartless to her.
She heard her own broken voice and made a final struggle. âIâm sorry. I know this is my fault. Can you save my brotherâs life on account of the three years weâve been together?â
Brian looked down at her. His jawline was set so coldly that it seemed to be able to freeze the air.
âI have no obligation to save him. Iâll say it one last time. I donât have the patience to waste time with you. Do you want to sign it or not?â
Grace closed her eyes and tears kept flowing out of the corners of her eyes. âOkay, Iâll sign it.â
She staggered to her feet and walked to the desk. She gripped the pen and stared at the page.
covered in words. Tears blurred her vision.
Her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. It was as if holding a pen was an extremely difficult thing.
She found the place to sign her name on the last page. Her fingers trembled as she wrote her name crookedly, stroke by stroke.
There were three copies, and on each piece of paper, there were traces of tears.
Grace wrote down the last bit of the word âSherman. Her heart ached so much that she felt like she was suffocating.
She took a deep breath and put down the pen. She did not even have the courage to look at Brian. She lowered her head and said, âIâm done.â
Brian put his hands in his pockets and stood there coldly. He said coldly, Tâll send you the divorce certificate in two days.â
Grace lowered her head. Her long hair covered her face. She nodded and walked out of the study. Ava happened to be eavesdropping outside the door. When she saw Grace coming out, she crossed her arms and looked at her gloatingly. âYouâre leaving tonight? My, youâve been with Brian for three years, but you didnât get away with anything in the end. I really feel sorry for you.â
Grace could not hear anything from the outside world. Her mind was blank and buzzing.
Dreame 11:20 Fri, 19 Apr MG.
Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, and everything she saw was blurry.
She reached the top of the stairs, gripped the railing, and slowly descended the steps.
She was really tired and wanted to collapse, but the child in her stomach was still reminding her that she could not collapse!
When she reached the last step, she suddenly felt as if her feet were filled with lead. She couldnât lift them up and fell heavily to the ground.
Melvin immediately went forward to help her up. âMiss Sherman, whatâs wrong?â
Upstairs, a cold and heartless voice sounded. âMelvin, from now on, she has nothing to do with the Francis family! Do not bother with her!â
Melvin looked at Grace with a pained gaze.
Grace walked back to her room in a daze. She mechanically packed her clothes. She did not have many clothes to begin with, so she only packed some clothes for this season and two autumn and winter coats.
Thinking of the child in her stomach, she packed all the gifts and bags that Brian had given her into her suitcase.
She looked at the black suitcase and suddenly thought of the day she came. It was the same suitcase.
She dragged her luggage behind her and slowly walked into the night.
The night wind blew, messing up her long hair. Her eyes, which had just finished crying, were hurting from the wind.
At this moment, as a muffled thunder sounded, beanâsized raindrops fell from the sky.
