Chapter 96
Falling for My Contractual Wife
Grace was stunned and looked at Brian in a daze. âHmm⦠It should be much better. Iâm just preparing to go for a checkup In the afternoon.â
Brianâs expression froze for a moment, and his eyes turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Grace knew what he was thinking and explained slowly, âDonât misunderstand. Iâm going to Dr. Ford for a checkup.â
Brianâs expression improved slightly.
He got another slice of beef for her.
Grace looked at her bowl. Her bowl was filled with meat but his bowl was filled with vegetables.
She was stunned and did not move. When Brian saw that, he asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
you Grace bit the fork and suddenly smiled. âBrian, Iâm not used to you doing this.â
âYes?â
Graceâs nose felt a little sour. The harmonious and gentle scene made her feel like she was back to half a year ago.
At that time, Brian would also be like this. He would leave her what she liked. Every time he went out to eat, he would gentlemanly pull out a chair for her. When he came back from a business trip, he would never forget to buy gifts.
Grace blinked and said selfâdeprecatingly, âIâm used to your cold words. Iâm not used to this.â
The corners of Brianâs mouth twitched slightly. âYou wonât live in the Francis family for long. Thereâs only half a month left. After all, weâve been together for three years. I donât want you to only hate me when you leave.â
Grace looked up at him and smiled. Her eyes were very bright and made Brianâs heart ache.
Wetter âHow can that be? I wonât hate you. You had better treat me badly.â
She would not hate him. She would only feel pain. If he treated her worse, she might not feel as much pain when she left.
Brian stared at her face for a long time. Suddenly, he felt a little suffocated and lost his appetite.
Last night, he fell asleep very late. All he could think of was Grace.
When he carried her out last night, he saw that her injuries had all healed. Her skin was smooth and her face was rosy. This seemed to be the only time that she was not injured or sick after Louise came.
Some time ago, she either fainted, had low blood sugar, had gastric problems, or was covered in injuries.
When he saw her unharmed last night, he had mixed feelings. It was as if a voice was telling him not to hurt her anymore.
a Since it was the last half a month, they should leave a good impression on each other.
Brian put down his spoon. âIâm done eating. Iâll get the driver to take you to the hospital.â
JMM M 97% 13:25 âThereâs no need. Iâll go alone.â Her voice was a little cold, and it was obvious that she was deliberately appearing to be cold.
Brian was even more frustrated. However, it was not because of Graceâs attitude, but because he understood why Grace was talking to him in such a tone.
Grace thought that he was going to say that she was too ungrateful, but he didnât expect her to just stand up and walk to his desk.
Grace clenched her fists and stood up as well. âIâm full. Iâll get going first.â
Brian Brian opened the drawer. âWait.â
âIâve already called a cab. You donât have to see me out.â After saying that in a hurry, she walked out of his office.
Brian lowered his head and glanced at the brand new phone in the drawer. He held it in his palm and clenched it tightly.
His gaze lingered on the office door for a long time before he threw it back into the drawer in frustration.
He had called her over today because he wanted to give her a phone.
When Grace walked out of the office, tears fell uncontrollably.
