Falling for My Contractual Wife

7:42 Tue, Dec 10 G BB

Grace's stomach had been growling for an hour. She waited patiently for a while longer, thinking that there might be a traffic jam. Another hour passed, but there was no sign of anyone coming.

Grace gradually became disappointed.

She pursed her lips sarcastically and thought, 'Why did I choose to believe him? Hasn't he gone back on his word often enough?'

The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt.

At this moment, Justin came to her ward after he was done with his work. Seeing that her face was a little pale, he asked, "Carson hasn't brought you food yet?"

Grace lowered her head and suddenly felt that her eyes were a little dry. She forced a smile and looked at him. "He can't come. He has something on."

Justin frowned. "Haven't you eaten? I'll get the canteen staff to send you a nutritious meal immediately."

By the time the food was delivered, Grace had lost her appetite.

Justin sat in front of her bed. In order not to worry him, she forced herself to take a few bites.

She glanced at WhatsApp's notifications. It was empty. She thought, 'Look, he has stood me up for no reason, but he does not even give an explanation. Perhaps, in his eyes, I am not worthy!' Justin was busy with work. After a while, a nurse came to call him and asked him to do surgery. Only Grace was left in the ward. She could not eat anymore and dropped her fork.

Grace did not think of sending a message to ask Brian about this. She had to constantly remind herself not to have any hope for that man. She would not be disappointed if there was no hope. She tried her best not to think about it, but the dullness in her heart reminded her that even though she had been away from him for so long, he still had the ability to make her sad. Grace clenched her fists tightly and thought, 'Grace, why are you so hopeless?'

Of course, she did not have any hope for her dinner to be delivered. She ordered food from the hospital.

Brian came back from work and asked Melvin, "Is she looking better? How's her wound healing?"

Melvin frowned and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Brian frowned. "What's wrong?"

Melvin said, "It's nothing. He's always looked good. He ate all the food sent today. His wound has already recovered and he looks lively. Even the food sent every day doesn't seem to be enough." Brian's lips curled up. "Then send more food over tomorrow."

Melvin fell speechless.

Brian asked, "Melvin, what's wrong with you today? Do you have something to tell me?"

Melvin hesitated for a moment. In the end, he shook his head. He really did not know how to start.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Brian lay on the bed after taking a shower. Out of habit, he opened Grace's dialog box. [What do you want to eat tomorrow?]

Grace's phone rang. When she saw the message on the screen, she was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought, 'Is he playing with me? Why is he so mean?'

She picked up her phone angrily and clicked on it. Her fingers pressed hard on the screen. [Mr. Francis. You're really good at joking. You should joke with your fiancée about this instead!] She even added a sarcastic smiley emoji at the end. When Brian received the news, he was dumbfounded.

He thought, 'What does she mean by that?'

He sent three question marks.

Grace was very upset. [Mr. Francis, why are you still acting this way?]

Brian was getting more and more confused by her words. He asked: [What's wrong? Is there a problem with today's dishes?]
