Falling for My Contractual Wife

Grace held her breath.

They were so close that Grace felt he would stick close to her in the next second.

At this moment, a cough sounded. "Ahem, ahem."

Grace hurriedly pushed him away and turned around in a panic. "Well... you didn't eat just now. I saved some dishes for you."

Jaclyn smiled awkwardly. "Oh, sorry. Please go on, please go on..."

Grace lowered her head to her chest, her face red.

Meanwhile, Brian was still looking at her with interest.

Grace quickly ran to the kitchen and took out all the dishes she saved for him. She placed them on the table and said, "Here, have some and go to sleep."

She was about to leave when Brian grabbed her wrist. "Sit down and accompany me."

He forced her into a chair and sat beside her. Then, he held her hand with one hand and ate with the other.

"If you want to eat, just eat. Why are you pulling me along?" Grace tried to pull her hand away but failed.

Brian tilted his head and looked at her. "If I didn't pull you along, you would have run away long ago. Have you forgotten that you still owe me a reward?"

Grace blushed and felt that he was up to no good.

He ate quickly but elegantly. Soon, he finished his meal very quickly.

He took a tissue and wiped his mouth. Then, he turned around and looked at her. "If you don't take the initiative to reward me, I'll have to ask for it myself. Gracey, my bed is so hard. Can I sleep next to you tonight? I promise I won't do anything."

Grace looked at him and suddenly smiled. "No. A man can survive in any environment. What's wrong with sleeping on a wooden board?"

Brian pinched her nose. "Why are you so heartless?"

Grace took the opportunity to escape from his grip and quickly ran into her room. She stuck her head out from the door's crack and said, "If you don't like it, you can return to the Francis family and live your comfortable life." With that, she stammed the door shut.

Brian stared at her door for a long time with a smile.

He glanced at the cutleries on the table that he had used. Even though he was so tired that he wanted to go to bed immediately, he still got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

As he washed the dishes, the smile on his face widened.

Such a life and a cozy home were what he dreamed of.

Brian returned to his room. When he saw the mattress, he was stunned. He immediately took out his phone and opened the dialog box with Grace.

He took a photo of the bed and sent it to her. Then, he sent her a message: [I've received today's reward. Next time, I'll try to climb into your bed.]

When Grace received the message, her face turned red and she silently scolded him for being shameless.

*****

Her days were developing in a good direction, and Grace had a much easier time going to work these few days.

But in the middle of the month, something else happened at the company that caught her off guard.

The financial staff of her company escaped with other people's salaries and leaked much customer information. A large group of troublemakers gathered at the company's entrance.noveldrama

Grace could only make up for the employee's salary first and call the police to find out where the financial staff was.

After the meeting, Vivian said to her, "Grace, Alicia is waiting for you in the living room. She said that she has something urgent to talk to you about."

The information leaked by the

financial staff also includes the list of some customers when their company cooperated with the Francis Group last time. Grace thought that she must have come for this matter.

Alicia sat on the chair. When she saw Grace, a smile appeared on her face. "Ms. Sherman, how are you?"
