Falling for My Contractual Wife

"Sorry. I'm late" Justin's heart ached when he saw Grace's expression.

Hearing his self-reproachful tone. Vivian's heart sank to the bottom Grace had already been looking after her sick child. Meanwhile. Justin came half an hour late, yet he blamed himself and felt guilty. Just how important is Grace to him? Vivian subconsciously tightened

her fingers.

At that moment, Carson asked in confusion, "Pardon, but, may know who you are?"

Vivian returned to her senses and tried to cover up her disappointment. She answered gently, "I'm Justin's friend. I've seen

Grace before. You are

"I see, my name is Carson, and Grace is my sister." Carson smiled shyly and reached out to shake her hand. Vivian nodded slowly. She looked at Carson, but her disappointment kept her from shaking hands with Carson for a while. Carson scratched his head awkwardly while withdrawing his hand. "Please, don't get the wrong idea, I'm just trying to be polite.

"No, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ignore you." Vivian realized she was ignoring him and lowered her head in embarrassment

Would you like to sit for a while?" Carson's smile remained.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Vivian ignored Carson's offer and slowly walked into the ward. Coincidentally, Justin was comforting Grace as if he was coaxing a child. His gentle tone and words were like a sharp knife slicing Vivian's heart.

Grace looked up and saw Vivian standing near Carson. "Vivian, why are you here?" as she spoke, she looked at Justin and thought she was there because of him. So, she smiled and said, "You must be here for Justin, right?"

Justin explained while ignoring the fact about Vivian's incident. "No, I was just sending her home, but Carson called and told me about Austin's condition. So, I brought her here."

Vivian's heart ached when she heard Justin's words. Is he afraid that Grace will misunderstand our relationship?' after all, he explained it in a rush.

They chatted in the ward for a while. Meanwhile, Justin went to ask the attending doctor about Austin's condition.

After returning to the ward, Justin comforted Grace. "Don't worry. Austin's immune system is still developing. Once she leaves the hospital, you must pay attention to her milk bottle and prevent her from eating with her hands. That way, Austin won't have another intestinal infection."

Grace listened attentively to his instructions. Seeing her taking his advice, Justin smiled. "I'll send Vivian home first. I'll come back later."

Grace looked at the lonely Vivian and hurriedly said to Justin, "You don't have to, Carson and I are enough to look after Austin. Besides, it's already late. Just bring Vivian home and rest early."

"I can send her home!" Grace looked at Carson in surprise. He wasn't someone who would say such polite words. She looked at him suspiciously but couldn't find something odd about him.

When Carson returned from taking Vivian home, Grace asked, "Did you call Justin over?"

Carson nodded immediately. Seeing this, Grace scolded him half-whispering, "Carson, you know it's impossible between me and Justin. Can you stop trying to set us up? Your call this afternoon has disturbed their date, damn it!"
