Chapter 142
Falling for My Contractual Wife
A girl took the shopping bag from her hand ingratiatingly. âAva, let me help you carry it. You must be tired of carrying so many things, right?â
âThatâs right, thatâs right. Weâll help you carry it. You just have to be responsible for the consumption.â
âAva, show me your card. Iâve never seen a black card before. Let me see what it looks like.â
Ava proudly took out his black card. âHere, Iâll show you.â
The card was customâmade. There were two initials engraved on the back, B.F.
The plastic sisters gasped. âWow. Itâs Brian Francis.â
Ava raised his eyebrows and took back the card. âYes, Brian gave it to me.â
A sister who lacked understanding of the situation spoke up, âBut isnât Brian your brotherâinâlaw?â
As soon as she said that, Avaâs face darkened, and she glanced at her coldly.
The girl standing beside her quietly pinched her back and said, âWhat are you talking about? Since when did you hear about them getting married for him to be her brotherâinâlaw?â
The sister realized that she had said something wrong and covered her mouth. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. It was just a slip of the tongue.â
Ava rolled her eyes unhappily.
âLet me tell you, Louise is an uneducated little girl. She has been wandering outside since she was young, and she has never seen the world. She has already been chased away by Brian and has gone overseas, so do you understand?â
The plastic sisters nodded in unison. âWe understand. Ava, weâre looking forward to your wedding banquet with Mr. Brian.â
Ava was pleased to hear this. The corners of her lips curled up in satisfaction. He pointed at a luxury goods counter and said, âEach of you can go in and choose one. Consider it a gift from me. Tonight, weâll go to the Luxe Cuisine for dinner.â
The plastic sistersâ eyes lit up as they rushed into the specialty store.
At the hospital, Justin was sitting in his office when there was a knock on the door. He said without looking up, âPlease come in.â
âAre you that busy?â A pleasant voice chimed in.
He looked up and saw Angie standing in front of her desk with an elegant and gentle smile on her Dreame 11:25 Fri, 19 Apr 197 face.
Justin pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked with a smile, âWhen did you come back?â
âLast night,â Angie said as she took a seat in the chair next to him, placing her bag on her shoulder.
âI missed Mr. Vanceâs birthday when I went to Quindor to study The smile on Justinâs face froze for a moment, but he did not say anything.
Upon her return, Angie promptly presented Zachary with a belated birthday gift.
The Vance family and the Flores family have known each other for a long time. Zachary has a fondness for Angie. Aware of her close relationship with Justin, he has been eager to use their connection to mend the strained relationship between father and son.
Aside from Justin, the illegitimate son, the Vance familyâs sole legitimate heir was Ethan.
Regrettably, Ethan tended to act without much consideration, resulting in several business setbacks over the years.
As a result. Zachary did not dare to hand the corporation over to Ethan easily. After thinking about it, although he did not like Justin, he was still Zacharyâs son. Therefore, he still hoped that Justin could come back and learn how to do business.
Seeing that he was silent, Angie knew that she had upset him by mentioning his father.
She smiled and looked at him. âMr. Vance said that weâd have dinner together tonight.â
Justin was rejected almost immediately. âNo, I have an appointment tonight.â
Angie was a little surprised. âWho are you meeting?â
Justin said lightly, âA friend.â
Angie was silent for a while, thinking that this was just an excuse he came up with to avoid seeing his father.
