Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 28

Melvin Duncan recounted the incident to Grace Sherman.

After Grace listened, a sudden pang gripped her heart, indicating that Louise Adkins suspected her identity.

After expressing gratitude to Melvin, Grace returned to her room.

Not long after, there was a sudden knock on the door. Thinking it might be Melvin, Grace opened the door.

Upon seeing the figure standing at the door, Grace was taken aback. “How did you come back?”

“What’s wrong? This is my home. Why wouldn’t I come back?” Brian Francis expressed displeasure at her reaction.

Grace parted her lips as if to speak, contemplating her words, but in the end, she merely replied with an “Oh.” Seeing him still standing at the doorway, she inquired, “Is there something you need?”

The man stared at her face for a few seconds. Not having seen her for five days, she seemed to have a better complexion than before, with a bit more flesh on her face, suggesting she hadn’t been doing much physical work at her brother’s place.

“Nothing much, just asking about your brother’s health, he replied.

Grace paused momentarily, then chuckled, “Mr. Brian, this is the first time you’ve shown concern for my brother’s health.”

“What? Are you implying that I don’t care enough about your family?” Brian’s expression darkened.

“No, how could I dare? Thanks to you, my brother is doing fine. Right now, I hope that our contract, as promised, ends on time. That way, my brother’s health could start getting better.”

Upon hearing her mention the contract, Brian felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance weighing on his mind.

However, Grace didn’t provide him with further opportunities for trouble. She issued a dismissal, “It’s alright, I’ll rest for now. Goodbye.”

She promptly shut the door.

Suddenly, Brian felt a surge of suppressed anger,

“What’s with this woman’s attitude?‘ he pondered.

Thinking about how he dropped his work and rushed back upon receiving Melvin’s call, only to face her cold gaze, he felt foolish about his actions.
