Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

Brian stared at the screen for a while before making a call. 

“Melvin, why did you call at noon?” 

The person on the other end paused for a few seconds before saying, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’ve arrived.” 

Brian frowned. “Didn’t I tell you that I’m going overseas?” 

“Mr. Brian, I’ve become forgetful. I forgot that you’d be flying for seven to eight hours.” 

Brian didn’t say anything and hung up. 

After hanging up the phone, Melvin looked at Louise, who was staring at him not far away. He lowered his head respectfully and said, “Miss Adkins, aren’t you having your meal?” 

Louise smiled. “I saw you rushing out to answer the phone. I thought something urgent had happened at home. It turned out that Brian called you.” 

Melvin’s expression was calm as he lowered his head slightly. “Yes, Mr. Brian called to ask about the situation at home.” 

Louise nodded, but her gaze was as cold as ice. If she had not rushed out in time, this wretched old man would have told Brian about Grace’s heatstroke! 

Back at the dining table, Louise also received a call from Brian. 

Louise said coquettishly into the phone, “Don’t worry. I’m eating well… Yes, it’s just that I miss you… Okay, I’ll be careful not to get a heatstroke… Yes, rest early. Goodbye.” 

Grace stood in the corner and listened to everything Louise said over the phone. 

Presumably, after Brian left, he was still worried about whether Louise had been eatinell and was fine in the hot 

weather. 

Grace thought, “How considerate!‘ She looked at her injuries and thought again, “Brian has never cared! 

When she thought of that, her entire b*dy turned cold. Now, she only wanted to be free from this misery as soon as possible. 

At night, Grace tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind involuntarily replayed the scene of Brian and Louise together. 

She burst into tears again, and she bit the blanket desperately to stop herself from making any 

sound. 

She knew it wasn’t good for the baby. She tried to think of things that would make her happy, but she didn’t seem to have any of them. 

Grace lay on the bed and cried until she was tired before falling asleep. 

When she woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen, and the bags under her eyes were dark. She looked terrible.

When Louise saw the state Grace was in, she sneered inwardly. She thought, ‘It seemed that she had cried last night. Is she unable to take it anymore when only a day has passed? The exciting part has yet to come!‘ 

“Miss Adkins, I’m going to change my dressing today. I’ll come back after I’m done.”
