Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

In the evening, Grace sat on the sofa for a while, watching a variety show. Just as she was about to go back to her room to sleep, Louise suddenly stopped her.

“Grace, make a cup of coffee for Brian and bring it upstairs. Also, grab a cloth and tidy up the table.”

Putting down the remote control, Grace got up and went to the kitchen to brew a cup of black coffee, Brian’s usual favorite.

Both Brian and Louise were in the study. Brian was working, and Louise sat next to him, intimately leaning against him.

As Louise heard footsteps approaching outside the door, she spoke to Brian beside her, “Brian, I’m a bit scared.”

“Scared of what?” Brian stopped typing on the keyboard, looking at her.

Louise lowered her eyes and said, “These days, I’ve been having nightmares every night. My room is too big, and it’s far from your room. I don’t feel safe.” She looked pitiful as she spoke.

Grace hesitated for a moment outside the door as she heard the conversation inside. She knocked on the door, and Brian’s response came from inside. “Come in.”

Carrying the cup, Grace walked in, and then she heard Louise continue, “Can I sleep with you?”

Grace’s fingers trembled slightly, and the hot coffee in the cup touched her fingertips. The subtle movements in the empty study felt jarring. Louise bit her lip slightly while Brian subconsciously looked up at Grace, the words Louise had just said echoing in his mind.

Louise wrapped her arms around his neck, hanging onto him like a necklace. She suddenly regretted calling Grace up. Things seemed to unfold differently from what she expected, but the words
