Falling for My Contractual Wife

Before Brian could utter a word, Ava rolled her eyes at Melvin and quipped, “Why do you keep throwing out these dumb questions? Obviously, Brian requires Grace to serve us dinner.”

Hearing that, Brian glared at Ava with his cold eyes. Thus, Ava immediately shut up.

Melvin did not dare to say one more word and asked Grace to be in the dining room.

Brian did not say he wanted Grace to serve them dinner. However, the only reason Grace could think of was that Brian needed her service. Therefore, Grace stood aside like a robot as long as she arrived.

Brian glanced at the wound on Grace’s forehead, thinking, ‘It seems to be healing.”

However, Brian felt annoyed when he observed the frosty expression on Grace’s face.

Ava

arrogantly ordered Grace to fill her plate. Later, she asked Grace to warm some milk.

Grace did not complain. Instead, she completed all the tasks Ava ordered without saying a word.

Ava felt a sense of superiority when she saw Grace act humbly. When Ava was about to order Grace again, Brian said coldly to Grace, “Are you trying to annoy us with that face? Get lost!”

Ava gloated over Brian’s scolding Grace. Then, she followed and added some mean words.

Louise witnessed everything, mocking Ava inside, ‘Ava is such an idiot. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

‘Brian did not ask Grace here to do some chores. He made an excuse to check Grace’s injury because he hadn’t seen her since he got home.”

Louise chewed her food but could not taste it.

After dinner, Brian turned to Louise and said, “Louise, I’ll be heading out on a business trip for the next few days, starting tomorrow. I’m worried you’ll feel lonely if you stay here. How about going home with Ava and spending some time there?”

Louise was shocked and thought, “Why didn’t Brian invite me to be with him? Instead, he asked me to return to the Adkins family’s house.

‘Is Brian worrying that I will do something to hurt Grace?‘ Louise felt a surge of anger when she grasped that possibility.

However, Louise managed to conceal her emotions. She said gently, “Brian, honestly, I’ve stayed in your place more than in the Adkins family’s house since I returned. I’ve already got used to the life here.”

Louise implied she did not want to return to the Adkins family’s house.

Brian’s expression darkened when he heard that. He looked like he was deep in thought.

“What happened? Is anything bothering you? You look like you are in a bad mood recently,” said Louise.

Brian answered plainly, “No. Nothing.”

Louise asked further, “Where are you heading for the business trip? How long will you stay there?”

Brian answered, “Yuthouburg. I’ll probably stay there for a week.”

Louise nodded thoughtfully and sald, “Alright. Then rest early tonight. Don’t work too late.”

“Got it.”

Then, Louise went upstairs to Ava’s room and told Ave that Brian would be on a business trip next week.

The Adkins sisters talked for a while. Louise implied that Ava could do whatever she wanted to Grace from tomorrow. However, Ava seemed to be a bit distracted. Soon, Ava urged Louise to return to her room to get some rest.

Brian stood on his bedroom balcony, casually holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. White smoke lingered in the air.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Brian thought it was Louise, so he cald without looking back,

“Come in.”

Ava pushed the door open and slipped inside, gently shutting it behind her. When Ava approached the balcony entrance, Brian remained standing, savoring his cigarette. He gazed into the darkness, not bothering to turn around.

Thinking of what Grace said to her today, Ava imitated Louise’s voice and greeted, “Hi, Brian.”

Brian was shocked when he heard that voice and slowly turned around. When he saw Ava before him, he frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ava lowered her head and asked shyly, “I heard you will set off for a business trip tomorrow. Can I go with you?”
