Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 14

Louise looked at him with grievances, tears welling up in her eyes, crying softly. Brian felt a twinge of guilt and regret for not coming back earlier.

He gently touched her long hair and softly said, “Come on, go to bed. It’s so late. If we stay up any longer, we’ll wake up with panda eyes tomorrow.”

Louise obediently nodded, holding Brian’s hand tightly as she lay down on the bed.

“Go to sleep. I’ll stay until you’re asleep before I leave,” he said.

Hearing this, a sweet smile graced Louise’s face, and she finally closed her eyes.

However, in her mind, she could not help but think about the fragrance she had just smelled. He had rushed out without even changing his pajamas. It turned out he went to meet another woman.

She was determined to find out who that woman was.

Brian watched her fall asleep before getting up and leaving the room.

Returning to the bedroom, he glanced at his watch. It was already past two in the morning.

At this time, Grace should have finished her IV drip.

He frowned, his finger hovering over her phone number. After a moment of hesitation, he ultimately didn’t make the call.

On the other side, Grace was extremely tired. Fortunately, a kind nurse came over to watch over her IV drip, and she quickly fell asleep.

Early the following day.

Brian got up early and instructed the housekeeper before leaving the house, “Be careful not to let her do anything these days.”

“Alright, Mr. Brian,” the housekeeper replied with a slight smile, naturally understanding whom Brian was referring to.

It seemed that Mr. Brian did care about Miss Sherman after all.

Louise got up for breakfast and then went to Brian’s bedroom.

She looked around but could not find the pajamas he wore last night. After searching for a while with no success, she had to go downstairs to ask the housekeeper.

“Miss Adkins, Mr. Brian’s clothes were sent for laundry. Why do you need his clothes?”

“He was wearing them last night. Why were they laundered this morning?” Louise furrowed her brow, sensing something suspicious.

“Miss Adkins, Mr. Brian has a habit. Whenever sleepwear is worn outside, it gets laundered the next day,” the housekeeper explained patiently.

Louise could not help but feel a bit frustrated. She had planned to put away his clothes today and carefully examine the scent of the perfume he used.

Just then, the phone rang. It was the interior designer that her assistant had arranged to discuss the decoration matters with her.
