Chapter 176
Falling for My Contractual Wife
She had to suck on her stomach to barely cover it up. She had to buy clothes quickly.
Grace put down her luggage and went shopping for clothes.
Brian put away his luggage. When he was about to call her for dinner, he realized that she was no longer in the hotel.
He held the phone and stared at her name for a while. In the end, he did not make the call.
When it was almost five in the afternoon, Ava also rushed to the hotel with her suitcase.
As Brian descended the stairs, he unexpectedly ran into her. A frown formed on his face as he remarked, âDidnât I tell you that your presence wasnât necessary?â
Ava smiled and said. âIâm worried about you. With me around, I can take care of you.â
If she didnât come, something might happen between Grace and him. Therefore, when she found out that Grace was going too, she bought a ticket and rushed over immediately.
Ava booked a room and pushed her luggage to Brian with the room card. âIâll put my luggage away. Iâm so hungry. Brian, letâs eat together later.â
Brian nodded faintly.
He sat on the sofa on the first floor. Ava came down not long after and changed into a cool backless outfit.
She walked to Brianâs side and held his arm. âBrian, do you think my clothes look good?â
Brian looked down at her hand and frowned slightly.
At this moment, Grace walked in from the entrance of the hotel with a shopping bag. The first thing he saw was the intimate scene between the two of them.
Her expression darkened as she lowered her head and quickly walked through the hall.
Brian, about to push open the door, abruptly halted when he saw Avaâs figure. As watching her walk away, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up within him. He strode out of the hotel.
Ava bit her lips and looked at Graceâs back. She stomped her feet in anger.
It was Graceâs influence once again. Even a mere glance from her could stir such intense emotions in Brian. In such a precarious situation, thatâs precisely why she had to make an appearance.
Grace bought two loose Aâshaped dresses and two oversize Tâshirts.
After changing her clothes, she went to the hotel for a simple meal before returning to her room to draw.
Her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Justin. Only then did she remember that she had left in a hurry today and had forgotten to tell Justin.
âGrace, arenât you at home?â Justinâs gentle voice came from the receiver.
Iâm sorry, I forgot to tell you. Iâm in Silrow City. I need to follow the crew today.â
Justinâs voice sank. âWhy do you have to join the team? Isnât there a screenwriter? It was Brian who asked you to do this, right?â
Grace was silent for a moment before saying. âWell, it doesnât matter. Anyway, the filming will only last for two months, âBut youâre pregnant and alone over there. Iâm worried.â
Grace smiled. Tâm really fine. Iâm not a child. Besides, itâs been more than four months. Itâs been very stable recently. There wonât be a problem.â
Justin was still worried. He thought for a moment and said, âHow about this? Iâll take a month off and come over to accompany you.â
When Grace heard him say that, he quickly rejected him sternly.
Justin could not do anything to her. He could only say that he would visit her during his break in two days.
The next day, filming officially began.
The weather was very hot. Grace sat in a temporary awning and blew a small fan. Other than the crew members who were filming, everyone else was squeezed into the awning.
Ava sat beside Brian. She was hot and impatient and wanted to go back, but Brian and Grace were guarding the filming location, so she didnât want to leave them alone.
