Falling for My Contractual Wife

Nelson's gaze deepened. He reached out and patted Nova's shoulder. "I'm gladly working with you, Nova."

Nova turned to smile at him. She pushed open the car door, got out, and walked into her apartment. Meanwhile, Nelson looked at her back. The smile on his face froze, and his eyes filled with fury. 'Return to The Francis family? What I want is far more than that!' Nelson knew he wouldn't be welcomed back into his family as long as Brian was around. Therefore, he wanted Brian to disappear from the face of the earth. Brian had been the golden child of The Francis family for almost 30 years. It was time to give up this position.

Vivian realized how talented Joy was at painting and signed her up for a painting class. She wanted Joy to develop her motor skills and felt a good-looking girl like her should learn some artistic skills. Unfortunately, Vivian struggled to find a drawing class. Even if there was, it didn't meet her expectations. But eventually, Vivian discovered one.

Joy was a fast learner. In just two days of attending the art class, she had displayed better drawing skills than her peers who had been learning for half a year. Vivian was glad to hear the news.

One day, Vivian was on her way to pick up Joy. But suddenly, she received a call from the school. A student got into the hospital after drowning in a summer swim accident. Hearing such news, Vivian called Carson and asked if he could pick up Joy instead. Joy's art class was close to Top Group, just across the street. Since Joy's class finished at the same time as his working hour, he didn't mind and agreed immediately.

Meanwhile, Nova returned to Top Group to retrieve some documents. Just as she was about to reach the Top Group Headquarters, a little girl suddenly barged out on the sidewalk. Nova hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

The girl seemed to be frightened. She stood by the roadside and looked at Nova's car with eyes wide open. Nova hurriedly got out and ran towards the little girl. "Hi, Honey, where are your parents?"noveldrama

The girl looked gorgeous. Her eyes were round and big. She had a small nose and an exquisite lip. One look was enough to tell she was a beauty.

Looking into her eyes, Nova's heart suddenly trembled. Several cars had honked non-stop behind her, but Nova ignored it. She squatted down and asked, "Honey, are you alone? Could you tell me where your parents are?"

The girl shook her head. Nova looked around to ensure she could safely bring the girl into her car. Meanwhite, the girl looked up at her and obediently let Nova hold her hand She never left with strangers, but the person in front of her seemed so friendly that she couldn't help but befriend her.

Nova brought her to the car, started the engine, and asked her, "What's your name, Dear?"

"Joy Greene."

Nova repeated her name in her heart and said, "Joy, my company is over there. I need to take some documents first. Then, I'll help you find your family, okay?"

Joy said nothing. She glanced up at the building Nova pointed. The word Top Group was written on it. She knew it was where Carson worked. So, when she discovered Nova was working there, she lowered her gaze.

"Joy, what's wrong?" Nova asked concernedly, but Joy shook her head. Seeing this, Nova felt pity.

Nova's car turned into the entrance to the underground parking lot. At the same time, Carson drove out of the gate and headed toward Joy's art school.

After parking, Nova opened the car door for Joy and reached out to her. "Come, it's not safe leaving you here alone."

Joy looked at Nova's face, and a warm feeling slid through her. She took Nova's hand as she left the car.
