Falling for My Contractual Wife

Brian was downhearted, but he masked it perfectly on his face,

He looked at the woman and smiled lovingly. "Louise, let's go." Louise nodded shyly and walked out of the house with him.

After getting into the car, Louise turned her head to look at Brian, noticing that he seemed somewhat weary, with dark circles under his eyes.

She touched his face. "Have you been having a difficult time lately? Your dark circles are so deep."

Brian turned to look at her with gloomy eyes.

Louise furrowed her brows as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "I know my departure made things difficult for you, but it was hard for me too. It may seem like I'm punishing you, but only I know that I'm tormenting myself..."

As Louise spoke, she clutched her chest in pain.

Brian frowned slightly and turned around to pull her into his embrace.

Louise wrapped her arms around his waist and expressed her longing for him. "Do you know? I missed you every day when I was overseas. There were so many times I wanted to call you, but I refrained from doing so. Brian, can you understand my suffering?"

Listening to her choked-up voice full of grievances, Brian's heart ached. He felt that he had let her down.
