Falling for My Contractual Wife

Justin turned to look at her.

Grace was already in tears.

Justin sighed and walked over. He gently wiped away the tears on her cheek.

Grace rubbed her eyes vigorously, as if to stop the tears from flowing, but less than a second later, tears started flowing down her cheeks uncontrollably. Day by day, time passed.

Austin could now look around with his big and curious eyes and was awake for more hours of the day.

Grace was not in the mood to think about anything.

Austin had probably slept for too long and was now making a fuss. When Grace got out of bed and picked her up vertically, she immediately stopped crying. She opened her two big eyes and looked around curiously.

Grace pinched Austin's little face lovingly. "You're barely a month old. Uncle Justin said you cannot be upright in the first month. You need to lie down."

According to Justin, the spine of a one-month-old child was still soft, and they should not be held upright. Thus, Grace could only let Austin have fun for a while before putting her back to lie down.

Austin immediately opened her mouth and started to make a fuss. Her eyes had no tears, but her face was still red from crying.

Grace said helplessly, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll hug you for a while more since Uncle Justin is not around."

As soon as Austin was picked up, she immediately stopped making a fuss. When Grace teased Austin, Austin would giggle at her in return.

Grace's heart almost melted at her interactions with Austin.
