Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

Grace rushed to the hospital with the lunch box. 

Last night, she struggled to sleep, her thoughts consumed by the events that unfolded. 

She entered Justin’s office. Justin was not back yet. She sat in her chair and waited for a while. 

After about five minutes, Justin returned to the office. He took off his mask and smiled warmly. 

“Congratulations on signing the contract. 

Grace parted her lips, drawing a subtle smile as she nodded and expressed her gratitude with a simple “Thank you.” 

Justin keenly sensed that something was wrong with her expression. 

“What’s wrong? Did the contract last night not work out?” 

Grace scrutinized him, taking a moment to contemplate before ultimately divulging the previous night’s events. She recognized his sincere dedication to helping her and her brother, treating her as if she were family. 

Justin’s expression tightened when he heard this. Brian must have done all this on purpose to get close to Grace. 

He couldn’t decipher Brian’s intentions in trying to get closer to Grace, especially considering he had a fiancée. 

Justin looked at her and earnestly said, “Grace, don’t worry. Brian’s actions are definitely not simple. Since you’ve entered into a cooperation with the Francis Group, you’re bound to frequently encounter him in the future. Considering your growing belly, being frequently with him might lead to discovery.” 

Grace was frowning and instinctively touched her abdomen. Justin’s caution was valid; being in Brian’s company frequently was risky. 

Despite that, the contract had already been signed, leaving her with no better alternatives at the moment. 

Justin pressed her shoulders with both hands and continued, “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I’ll help you pay for the breach of contract. You just have to stay far away from him.” 

Grace looked at him blankly. Justin’s gaze was very focused. When he thought of everything Brian had done, Justin felt terrified. 

The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Grace shook her head firmly. “No, you’ve already helped me enough. If 1 meet him again in the future, I’ll be careful not to let him find out that I’m pregnant.” 

Justin frowned. He was somewhat concerned about the possibility that Brian might reveal he was the one who covered the cost of her brother’s medical expenses, leading to her disappointment. 

However, there was nothing he could do. He could not be like Brian and forcefully keep her by his side. That would only push her further and further away from him. 

The next day, Ava officially went to work at the Francis Group. 

She did not go straight to the HR department. Instead, she ran outside the CEO’s office as soon as she arrived and 

waited for Brian.

As soon as Brian appeared, she ran up to him and held his arm. “Brian, who’s taking me to report?” 

Brian looked down at her hand and pulled his arm out without a trace. 

When he passed by Nancy, he instructed indifferently. “Ms. Patel, take her to the HR department to report. 

“Alright, Miss Adkins, please follow me.” 

Ava followed Ms. Patel to the elevator. 

Ava sized up Nancy. She was very beautiful. She had S*xy eyes, a high nose bridge, and a standard oval face. However, this face made Ava very uncomfortable.
