Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)

Tina carried the child upstairs. Grace held onto the railing and went up the steps bit by bit.

Her wound was just stitched, and every step she took was excruciatingly painful.

Tina put the child down and quickly came downstairs to help Grace, but she did not know how to do it.

Grace smiled at her. "I'm fine."

Actually, Grace was already very tired. After going upstairs, she was completely exhausted. She lay on the bed and fell asleep before she could even take off her clothes.

When she left, the doctor gave her a lot of medicine. She had to clean her wound every day and take anti-inflammatory medicine. For the past few days, Tina had been taking care of her and cleaning her wound every day.

Newborn babies did nothing but eat and sleep. Tina looked at the baby on the bed. At this moment, the baby opened her big eyes and looked around.

Tina teased her and gently pinched her face.

"Miss Grace, the baby is really amazing. She looks different every day. She was wrinkly when she was just born. The next day, her eyes became bigger and her skin became smooth. Now, her small eyes have become round and cute.

"Miss Grace, have you thought of a name?"

Grace lay on the bed and thought for a moment before saying, "I shall name her Austin."

"Austin, Austin Sherman. It sounds so nice. Little cutie, you have a name now. Austin, do you like your name?" Tina smiled.

Austin opened her mouth as if she was about to say something. Her eyes crinkled slightly as if she was smiling. It seemed like she liked the name.

After Brian left the hospital, he went to Grace's house to find some clues from her house.

She had just rented the house, so there was not much in it. There was only a tablet used for drawing. It did not even have WhatsApp installed on it.

It was only now that Brian realized that he had forgotten to save her phone number during the time he had lived with her.

Because he had been by her side

around the clock, there was no need for him to call her. He thought that it would be safe to stay by her side until she gave birth, but he did not expect her to dare to run away after giving birth.

That woman was indeed ruthless to herself.

Brian received a call. "Mr. Francis, we are really sorry. We've already checked the surveillance footage. We can no longer trace Misso Sherman's whereabouts."

Brian gripped the edge of the phone tightly. He said Grace's name through gritted teeth. "Grace, do you think you can hide from me forever?" That night, Brian drove back to Capern City.

He wanted to use all his connections to bring Grace and the child back.

Not long after Brian arrived home, his phone rang.

It was Jasmine. "Brian, I heard you're back in Capern City?"

Brian said calmly, "Yes."

"Since you're back, hurry home," Jasmine said.

Brian frowned. "If there's anything, just say it over the phone."

His tone made it clear that he didn't want to go home. Jasmine sounded a little annoyed. "It's Christmas today. Are you forcing me to be angry on Christmas?"

Brian felt a little frustrated. "Alright, I understand. I'll be back in the afternoon." With that, he disconnected the call.

Brian took a shower and drove back to the Francis estate in the afternoon.

There seemed to be guests at the old residence. A black Porsche was parked outside.

When Brian walked into the courtyard, a servant came to welcome him. "Mr. Brian, you're back. Mrs. Francis is waiting for you in the living room."

Brian walked closer and saw a familiar figure sitting beside Jasmine.
