Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 250

Brian furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze fixed on the top of her head as he made his way inside.

Three seats separated them.

Grace kept her head tilted toward Brian the entire time, propping it up with her hand, so he couldn't even see her profile.

Brian glanced at his hand, and his mind flashed back to what happened just now.

As the movie officially started, he gathered his thoughts and focused on the screen.

The movie had been meticulously crafted under Grace's supervision, with stringent requirements for the actors' performances and the plot, resulting in an overall impressive viewing experience.

The comic was based on many real-life events from Grace's life, and certain scenes brought tears to her eyes.

By the end, tears streamed down her face, and she intermittently sniffed as the tears flowed.

Brian glanced sideways and then surveyed the other moviegoers, who were all engrossed in the film. Yet, the only person visibly moved to tears was the woman in the hat.

As the movie concluded and the credits rolled, the audience dispersed.

Grace and Brian remained, the only two occupants left in the theater.

In the final moments of the credits, Grace's pen name and Brian's name slowly ascended from the bottom of the screen side by side.

Grace's tears instantly ran down her cheeks.

Brian stood up and exited the theater. Grace noticed him approaching, lowered her head, moved her legs aside, and let him pass.

However, Brian paused before leaving, pulled out a tissue, and handed it to her.

"Thank you," Grace whispered as she accepted it.

Brian then left.

She sat alone in the theater for a long time before getting up to leave.

As she descended to the ground floor of the mall, she noticed Brian standing by the entrance.

Grace hesitated and glanced out of the door, realizing it was pouring rain outside.

She hadn't brought an umbrella.

The sudden downpour had caught many unprepared, with a crowd huddled by the doorway, some with umbrellas hesitant to venture out.

They all discreetly looked at Brian, snapping photos with their phones from time to time.

Grace walked up and positioned herself farthest away from him.

The rain was so heavy that even if she took a taxi, she would have to pass through the plaza in front of the mall. By the time she made it to the road, she would likely be soaked to the skin.

Grace pondered her options and decided to wait there until the rain stopped.

Brian stood quietly. Just then, a bold girl approached and shyly asked, "Hey handsome, can I add you on WhatsApp?"

Brian didn't even look at her and replied in a low voice, "I'm engaged."

The girl persisted, "You're engaged, not married! So I still have a chance, right?"

Brian frowned, displeasure evident on his face.

Grace could hear Brian's voice.

Seeing that Brian's face turned cold, the girl and her friends quickly left with embarrassment.

Suddenly, someone inside the mall yelled, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

Grace looked back and saw a masked man rushing out of the mall toward the exit.

The doorway was crowded, and with some pushing and shoving, Grace stumbled a few steps and fell heavily into the rain-soaked ground.

The thief swiftly escaped into the street. Grace frowned and attempted to rise when an umbrella appeared over her head, followed by Brian crouching down beside her.

He took hold of her arm, asking, "Are you okay?"
