Contractual Wife 358
Chapter 358
As soon as she said that, Justin's expression darkened.
It meant that this whole time, it had all been his own wishful thinking. He thought that Grace was already willing to accept him when there was, in fact, no such thing.
Vivian hurriedly said, "Justin, it's...it's just that I like you too much. The first time I brought you food, you were indifferent, but the moment I said that Grace made the food for you, your eyes lit up! "Do you have any idea how upset 1 feel about the different treatment? All I want is to take care of you without asking for anything in return.
"Justin, do you know how much I like you? Can you try to accept me?"
Vivian's tears had already fallen, and her voice choking up by the second.
Justin looked at her. He did not want to hurt her, but he felt that if he did not make things clear, it would only hurt her more.
He said coldly, "No, Vivian. I won't like you, so I won't even try to accept you."
His words were too cruel to Vivian.
She looked at him in disbelief. She finally understood that even the gentlest person could become cold and heartless if they did not like you.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"How am I inferior to Grace?" Vivian asked numbly. "Why don't you like me?! Grace has a child and she likes someone else! Why won't you take another look at me?! How am I inferior to her!" When she reached the end of her sentence, she was almost screaming.
Justin was unmoved as he said coldly, "You're very outstanding, and you're in no way inferior to her, but there are many outstanding people in this world. It doesn't mean that anyone who's more outstanding should be liked by the entire world. There's no reason to liking someone. I like her, and even if she likes someone else for the rest of her life, it won't stop me from liking her."
Vivian's face was pale-white after hearing that. Justin had not said anything to belittle her, but he had managed to hurt her completely.
Justin pursed his lips tightly, then took a glance at her and left without hesitation.
After he had left, Vivian visited a bar alone and ordered two bottles of hard liquor to drown herself in them.
When she was in a drunk daze, she reluctantly took out her phone and called Grace.
At this point, it was already midnight. Grace was woken up by her ringing phone, and when she saw that it was Vivian, her intuition told her that something must have happened for her to call so late at night. She quickly picked it up. "Vivian?"
Deafening music came from the other side of the line. Grace frowned. "Vivian? Where are you?"
After a while, a drunk voice came from the other end. "Grace, how can you get all of Justin's love without any effort?! I'm the one who's known him for the longest... So why?"
As she spoke, she felt more and more aggrieved and began to cry over the phone.
She said intermittently, "I really like him... How am I inferior to you? Why won't he look at me?"

Grace asked anxiously. "Vivian? Did you quarrel with Justin? Where are you now?"
"Yes... I quarreled with him. He said that it was impossible between us... It was impossible for us to even try..."
"Vivian? Which bar are you at? Can I come and find you?"
Vivian did not seem to hear her and continued, "Let me have Justin, can you?"
