Falling for My Contractual Wife

“Why did you do this to yourself?”

Grace lowered her head. She caught a glimpse of the gift box by the bed and picked it up to look at it.

Brian pressed her hand down. “I’m asking you a question.”

Grace looked at him with dead eyes. Brian suddenly felt a little scared.

“You’re sick,” Brian said with certainty.

Grace smirked sarcastically. “I’m not sick. I can still wash, cook, and clean. Don’t worry. I’ll last for the next two months.”

Brian could feel an indescribable heaviness in his heart. He closed his eyes and said, “Grace, don’t do this.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Grace ignored him and lowered her head to open the gift box. She glanced at the necklace but did not take it out. She only took a look and smiled. “Is this for me? Thank you, I’ll take it”

Brian held her hand. “Go and stay somewhere else for a few days.”

Grace was surprised and stared at him in disbelief, thinking if he was really that kind–hearted.

In

“You don’t have to look at me like that. I mean it.”

Grace seemed worried that he would go back on his word, so she immediately got up to pack her clothes.

Her actions hurt Brian. She used to see him as her whole world and wished she could stay by his side for the rest of her life. Now that she heard she could leave this house and stay somewhere else for a few days, she could not even wait till

tomorrow to pack her things.

Brian wondered if this was a cage of pain for her so that she hurt herself at all costs.

“It’s too late today. Rest now and pack your things tomorrow. I’ll tell them you took leave.”

After saying that, Brian turned to leave. After taking two steps, he turned to look at her and asked, “Why did you lock the

door?”

Grace looked at him for two seconds before answering. “I feared that someone would put something in my room and say

that I stole it.”

Brian was speechless for a moment. His heart ached, but he did not say anything else. He nodded and closed the door for

her.

The next day, Grace woke up very early. She could not wait to move out.

Brian instructed the driver to drive Grace anywhere she wanted. After breakfast, he told Louise about Grace’s request for leave.

Louise subconsciously glanced at Grace. It was strange that she did not feel pleased when she heard Grace was leaving for some time

After eating, Brian went to work. Grace also got into the car and left.

The car drove into a neighborhood, and the one Brian took followed in.

He escorted Grace to the house.

Grace did not bring many things with her. After all, Brian only allowed her to stay out for a few days.

“The transportation nearby is convenient. There’s a supermarket downstairs. It should be suitable for you to stay here.”

With that, he warned, “Don’t even think about meeting Justin.”

Grace eyed him and instinctively wanted to mock him again. However, when she thought about how he had allowed her to take leave, it was better not to disobey him.

“Rest assured. I won’t.”

Brian nodded. “I’m going to work.”

After Grace watched him leave, she looked around the house. It was a small apartment with three rooms with warm

decorations.

Grace entered the bedroom. After unpacking her clothes, she fell asleep on the bed.

She was exhausted. From the moment she left the villa, her entire body had relaxed. Now that she was lying on the bed, she had never felt so comfy.

In the afternoon, she woke up from hunger. She was so hungry that she had no strength in her body and felt as if she would faint if she walked. She could only order takeout to fill her stomach.

For two consecutive days, Grace ate takeout. After eating, she slept and ate when she woke up again.

Grace looked in the mirror and realized her skin had become much smoother.

After having sufficient sleep, she could not fall asleep no matter what.
