Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 257

"At that time, you should have been born not long ago, very small, with your umbilical cord still attached. By the way, the clothes you were wearing, which seemed quite expensive, were all kept in the old house," Frederick said.

Grace's gaze brightened slightly.

"If you want to go look for them, go ahead," Frederick added.

Grace didn't know what to feel. Was she abandoned? Why would they abandon her if they were from a rich family and raising a child wasn't difficult for them?

Was it because she was a girl?

What were their feelings when they abandoned her? Did they feel sorry when they heard her cries?

As Grace pondered these questions, tears fell uncontrollably.

"I know you've suffered a lot in the Sherman family over the years, and your mom always feels that you're a burden and hasn't provided you with a good life since you were a child. But I also hope you can understand, our family really doesn't have much money..." Frederick then said.

"Don't say it. You guys raised me, and I am naturally grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. In the past, I felt that my mom didn't deserve to be a mother, but now I realize I was wrong. If it weren't for you guys, maybe I wouldn't have survived more than a week at all," Grace replied.

Grace returned home, dejected.

Carson was teasing Austin in the living room. When he saw Grace return, he put down the rattle in his hand. "You're finally back. I'm exhausted. I've tried my best to make this little one laugh, but she's like her father, cold and out of the ordinary, looking at me as if I were a big fool."

Grace couldn't help but smile at his words.

"It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound." She walked over and picked up Austin, who waved her little hands in excitement at the familiar scent of her mother.

"See, that's the difference between a real mom and an uncle. She doesn't give the slightest reaction even when I, her dear uncle, barked like a dog or snorted like a pig, but you, her own mother, she's instantly happy as soon as you hug her."
