Falling for My Contractual Wife

Alicia took out a blue princess dress and unfolded it before Austin.

Austin blinked but still didn't speak.

Grace squatted down and said to Austin, "Austin, Mommy will help you keep it, okay? You can wear it whenever you want, okay?"

Austin shook her small head gently to express her rejection. It was unknown if she didn't like the princess dress or Alicia.

Grace said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Alicia. She might be a little afraid of strangers."

Alicia smiled generously. "Oh, it's fine. I understand. My nephew's condition was even worse than hers previously."

Grace accepted all the gifts she bought for Austin and placed them in the bedroom.

"Austin, how are you? You can call me Alicia." Alicia sat opposite Austin.

Austin lowered her head and ignored her. She was focused on drawing.

When Grace came out, she saw Alicia trying to tease Austin, but Austin ignored her.

Seeing Grace come out, Alicia looked up at her and said solemnly, "Do you usually bring Austin out?"

"No." Grace shook her head. "Austin likes being alone. She will be afraid if there are too many people."

Alicia said, "She still needs to go out more often. This is not a solution. It will not help her condition."
