Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 15 Suddenly, Brian's expression darkened. “I've paid for three years of your time. These three years belong to me.

Why do you think you can move out?” “Am | wrong? Aren't you worried that your beloved Miss Adkins will discover our relationship? Isn't it best forto move out?” Brian glared at her darkly.

She made a valid point, but he felt uneasy about it, and he could not quite understand why.

“I told less!” you, | paid for your three years, and for those three years, you'll do whatever | tell you to do, not a day His resolute attitude infuriated Grace. She was afraid that continuing like this would harm her baby, and she had been to the hospital more than once already.

“Aren’t you afraid that I'll go and tell Miss Adkins about our relationship?” Brian sneered at her. “You can try.” With that statement, he turned around and went upstairs.

Grace took a deep breath, suppressing the anger rising within her. However, she could not seem to calm down.

She grabbed a packet of salt and sprinkled it vigorously over a piece of beef.

Brian and Louise cdown together to have their breakfast.

Grace stood aside, watching Brian sit down and take a bite of his sandwich. In her mind, she silently counted, “3, 22; 1.7 As expected, the man paused momentarily, then looked towards Grace standing on the side.

Louise, beside him, noticed his reaction and turned to him, asking, “Brian, what's wrong?” Brian's face displayed a mix of emotions, but he remained silent.

Grace turned her head away, presenting him with a cold profile. However, the corner of her eye continued to observe Brian's facial expressions.

He was seen gritting his teeth as he took another large bite, then swallowed it down as if nothing happened.

Grace thought he might spit everything out and then cover to scold her harshly. However, she didn’t expect him to finish eating everything.

After finishing the sandwich, he rushed to the bar, grabbed a glass of water, and gulped it down fiercely.

Watching his reaction, Grace finally felt a sense of relief.

Louise took in every move of the two, and her fingers on the mug’s handle tightened forcefully.

Grace was really bold. She dared to exchange glances and gestures with her man right under her nose as if they were asking for trouble.

Brian downed the last of his water, casting a piercing stare at Grace before snatching up his car keys and making a swift exit.

Grace didn’t back down and returned his glare without hesitation.

After Louise finished breakfast, Grace collected the dishes and utensils and headed to the kitchen to wash them.

As she was washing, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. “I heard you're the maid sent by Mrs. Francis?” “What, what are you saying?” Grace's hands trembled with fear, causing the plate in her hands to fall into the sink. She turned around nervously, looking at Louise.

“What did you put in Brian's food this morning?” Louise had a cold curve on her face as she took a step forward, getting closer to Grace.

She looked at her, still wearing a smile on her face, but her eyes were as cold as ink.

Grace suddenly felt a chill down her spine and quickly moved to the side.

However, she didn’t realize there was a puddle on the floor. Her foot slipped, and she lost her balance, falling forward.

Perhaps fearing for the baby’s safety in her belly, Grace instinctively grabbed Louise’s clothes and pulled them downward. As a result, Louise fell to the ground first, with Grace landing squarely on her waist.

“Ah!” Louise screamed, “What are you doing? My waist! My waist! Help, someone...” Grace hurriedly got up from the ground, wanting to help Louise, but she was pushed away with a forceful shove.

“Miss Adkins, I'm sorry, | didn’t mean it,” Grace said, frightened. If Brian found out that she had hurt Louise, he might just tear her apart.

The housekeeper, Melvin, heard the commotion and hurriedly ran in, helping Louise sit on the sofa.

“My waist hurts so much. Quick, quick, call Brian! Hurry up! What are you standing there for?” Louise covered her waist, tears streaming down her face.

Melvin looked at Grace with concern, and Grace silently lowered her head.

Seeing Louise in such pain, Melvin had no choice but to call Brian using the phone in the living room.

The call connected, and Louise shouted into the phone, “Brian, my waist is about to break. Hurry back!” Brian, who was halfway to his destination, immediately turned the car around and headed back in haste.

He rushed into the living room and saw Louise crying her eyes out.

“Brian, is my back broken?” she asked, tears in her eyes.

Brian's expression darkened. “Who did this?” “Grace pressed on my waist,” Louise said, glancing at Grace with a look of grievance.

Grace didn’t know how to explain and just said, “I'm sorry.” “Is it because | didn’t meet your satisfaction this morning that you went on to seek revenge against her?” Brian was furious. He walked up to Grace, staring at her with a dark expression.

Grace shuddered under his fierce rebuke, instinctively offering a defense, “I didn’t do it on purpose.” 3/5 1 FD “You are lying!” Louise accused with a sense of grievance, “You slipped on the water you spilled. It should have been you who fell, but just before falling, you grabbed onto my clothes, pullingdown to cushion your fall!” After listening to Louise, Brian believed her without a doubt. He gripped Grace's chin, speaking with a menacing tone, “Do you really think | would believe your words? Malicious woman! Last time, when you caused her an allergic reaction, she still spoke up for you. But today, she didn’t. Why? Because the truth is that you pulled her, causing her to fall like this!” Grace looked at him in disbelief. Malicious? Was that how he perceived her? She wanted to argue back, but Brian didn strode out of the villa, leaving Grace standing there.

give her the chance. In a swift move, he lifted Louise in his arms and Grace gritted her teeth, turned around, and made her way back to her room.

After approximately an hour had passed, Melvin cto get her.

“Miss Sherman, Mr. Brian just called. He wants you to go to the hospital.” “How is Louise?” Grace asked.

Melvin said somberly, “I heard there is a fracture. Mr. Brian wants you to go. It seems he wants you to take care of Miss Adkins.” “Alright, Ill go.” Grace took a deep breath.

Brian arranged for a driver to take her to a private hospital.

Louise lay on the bed with a cast wrapped around her waist.

“Are you satisfied now?” Brian looked at her coldly.

“Mr. Brian, if you insist on believing that I intentionally harmed her, then | have nothing more to explain. | will take care of Miss Adkins until she is discharged. You can rest assured.” Grace walked in, looking at him with dignity.

Brian stood up and said, “There's still business at the company. I'll go there first. You stay here and take care of Louise. Don’t even think about stirring.up trouble! There are people of mine in this hospital. If you're keen on hastening your demise, go ahead and make a move.” Brian left, leaving only her and Louise in the hospital room.

Louise played with her phone and instructed her, “I want to eat strawberries.” On such a hot day, where could she get strawberries?
