Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 233

It had been so cold for the past two days. Grace could not stand the cold when she walked out. She could not help but get into Brian's car.

After buying poultry, fish, seafood, cured meat, and sausages, the two of them returned home together.

Looking at the pile of ingredients, Brian did not know where to start. He squatted in the kitchen and did not move for a long time.

Grace walked to the kitchen door and looked at him for a while. "Let me do it."

Grace quickly took out the cured meat. She washed the cured meat and sausages before throwing them into the pan. Then, she began to wash the fish.

The fishy smell made Grace a little uncomfortable. She could not help but retch twice.

Brian snatched the fish from her hands. "I'll do it."

He put her hands under the tap and rinsed them. "If you're worried I'll mess up the Christmas Eve dinner, stay here and watch over me. Just tell me what to do."

With that, Brian went out and brought a chair over for her to sit on. Then, he handed her a garlic.

Grace took the garlic and cleared her throat. She said awkwardly, "Turn the heat down after it boils. Use scallions and ginger to marinate the fish for ten minutes."

Gradually, Brian and Grace became more in sync in the kitchen.

Soon, Brian finished preparing all the dishes.

Grace sat at the dining table. Brian brought the last dish of grilled fish over and placed it in the middle.

"Let's eat."

Grace stared at the table full of dishes and suddenly remembered that in the three years she had been with Brian, this was the first time they had Christmas Eve dinner together.

In the past, he would return to the old residence every Christmas Eve, but he would never take her along.

She remembered that on Christmas Eve that first year, he said he would return to the old residence for dinner that night. She had been so excited because she had thought he would take her home with him.
