Falling for My Contractual Wife

Nova looked up and said in surprise, "Carson?"

Seeing Nova, Carson was also stunned. "Nova? Why are you with Joy?"

"I ran into her on the road. Wait, are you Joy's dad?"

"No, Joy is my girlfriend's sister."noveldrama

Nova's eyes widened in surprise. She wanted to ask him who his girlfriend was, but she felt it was inappropriate to ask about such a thing. So, she only nodded slowly.

Carson squatted down and looked at Joy. He couldn't help but scold her, "Do you know how worried I was about you? Vivian and I were anxious! You almost scared us to death."

Hearing Carson's words, Nova learned that his girlfriend was Vivian. But she had never heard of Vivian having a younger sister. However, on second thought, Joy was five years old. When Nova first met Vivian, Joy was probably still in her mother's womb. Nova lowered her gaze and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Joy was Vivian's sister, which meant she had parents. She couldn't be Austin.

"If you dare to run out alone next time, I'll spank your butt!"

When Nova heard Carson's fierce tone, she couldn't help but scold him. "Carson, stop being fierce to her. She's just a kid. Besides, Joy is very obedient. She understands what's right and wrong."

Joy looked at Nova eagerly. Her eyes suddenly became moist, and she had an urge to rush into her arms. She wished the woman who stood before her was her mom. With that thought in mind, Joy suddenly shouted, "Mom!"

Nova, who was about to leave, suddenly felt her heart tremble. She looked back at Joy. "What...what did you call me?"

Carson was extremely embarrassed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Nova. The child is emotionally sensitive. Please, don't take it to heart."

Nova's heart calmed down bit by bit. The sky was getting dark, and she couldn't see Joy's expression. She waved at Joy and Carson reluctantly. "Alright, I'll go home now. Goodbye!" "Okay, be careful on the road, Nova."

Carson watched Nova leave. Afterward, he called Vivian and waited for her to arrive. He then squatted down and looked at Joy. "Joy, why did you call Miss Nova 'Mom' just now?" Joy pouted and tears rolled down her face. "I want her to be my mother!"

Carson's heart suddenly ached. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her. He hugged her and said, "Jo, please don't cry. If youdike her so much, I'll bring you to my workplace. You can spend more time with Miss Nova there. Sounds good?"

hearing Carson's offer, Joy nodded, sniffed, and tried to hold back her tears.

Vivian arrived not long after. She panted as she looked at Joy. "Joy you almost scared me to death! Do you know how worried I was today? I've been looking all over for you, and I...

As Vivian spoke, she choked up and tears rolled down her face. Her legs were still weak from running around. This feeling was the same feeling she had when losing Austin. Joy whispered, "Vivian, I'm so sorry."

Hearing Joy's apology, Vivian cried even harder. Carson sighed and comforted them both.

Meanwhile, when Nova returned home, she was in a daze. On her way back, her mind was filled with Austin. 'She would be about the

Nova believed that Austin would

to be a beautiful girl. After all, her father was a good-looking man.
