Chapter 127
Falling for My Contractual Wife
Brian nodded slightly. âI understand.â
Marshall pointed at the sofa. âSit down. Letâs sit down and talk.â
Brian walked to the sofa and sat down.
Marshall then continued, âLouise was indeed a little impulsive to go overseas alone this time. But girls are like this. Itâs fine if she throws a tantrum once in a while. However, I hope that this will not affect the relationship between our two families. A man should know when to yield and when to stand his ground.
If Louise chose to run, you could chase after her! Louise has been alone for so many years. I only hope that she can be happy now.â
Brian nodded. âMr. Adkins, I understand what you mean. Donât worry. Everything that happened this time is my fault. Iâve let Louise down. Iâll take good care of the company while sheâs not around and find her as soon as possible.â
A smile appeared on Marshallâs face. âAlright, Brian. Youâre still as sensible as ever.â
âIt is what I should do.â
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door. Grace walked to the door vigilantly and peeked through the peephole.
When she saw that it was Justin, she opened the door with relief.
Aldough she no longer had anything to do with Brian, she was unsure if Louise would still think of ways to harm her.
After all, Grace was living alone and was pregnant. It would not hurt to be exceptionally careful.
The moment the door opened, a large bouquet of beautiful red roses appeared in her field of vision.
Grace was stunned.
Justin smiled warmly. âDo you like it?â
Grace smiled awkwardly. âThank you, butâ¦â
âBut what?â Justin frowned. âDonât you like it?â
Grace shook her head. âNo⦠Itâs just that itâs not good for me to accept your flowers.â
A trace of loneliness appeared on Justinâs face. âGrace, are you not even going to give me a chance to pursue you?â

Helpless, Grace took the flowers from him and turned around. âCome in and sit.â
She poured a glass of water for Justin and said to him solemnly. âJustin, Iâm a woman with a child.
Weâre not suitable for each other. Donât give me flowers again.â
Justin smiled. âItâs my business who I decide to pursue, and it is your business if you reject me. Donât say such things in the future, okay?â
âAlright, can you be good and listen to me?â Justin interrupted her gently.
âCan you accompany me to a cocktail party the day after tomorrow?â Justin then asked.
Grace looked at him in surprise. âHuh? What cocktail party?â
Justin was silent for a while.
He then said in a deep voice, âActually, itâs my fatherâs birthday. I donât have a good relationship with my father. I didnât want to go back for his birthday this time, but my grandfather had always hoped that my father and I could bury the hatchet It was Graceâs first time seeing a cold expression on Justinâs face. It seemed that his relationship with his father was really not good.
âThen, why do you want me to accompany you?â
Justin looked at her. âMy grandfather is old and in poor health. He might not last another two years. He had always hoped I could get a girlfriend as soon as possible.â
Grace understood what he meant. Justin wanted her to be his shield.
Back then, Brian also used her as a shield when his family urged him to get marriedâ¦.
Justin saw the change in her expression and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Are you unwilling?â
Grace shook his head. âNothing. Iâm just worried that itâs not good for us to lie to an old man like this.â
âDonât worry. He doesnât have the energy to care about me.â
