Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 

Brian’s face lit up. “Louise, you’re up!” 

Louise stared at him for a moment, then her expression shifted, and she blurted out, “Why are you here? Go find your precious Grace. You don’t need to worry about me.” 

Her voice choked with tears, her face drained of color, making Brian feel even more guilty. 

“Louise, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that.” 

Louise forced a weak smile. “Oh, really? So you think saying sorry makes everything okay? I can’t forget how cold you were accusing me last night. It felt like I didn’t even know you.” 

“No, I messed up. I know that now. I should’ve listened to how you felt. You only did what you did because I failed to make you feel secure. But Louise, I really care about you.” 

“Stop.” Louise interrupted, covering her ears. “I don’t want to hear it. I’m the one who messed up. Just give me some space, okay? I don’t want to see you right now.” 

She knew Brian must be feeling guilty, so she laid it on thick to make him feel worse. 

Brian pursed his lips, relenting. “Okay, take a rest then. I’ll ask Melvin to whip up some of your favorite food.” 

Without waiting for a response, he left the room. 

Even though she faked passing out earlier, Louise did catch a cold. 

That night, she started coughing. 

When Melvin brought dinner, Brian heard her coughing when he entered the ward. His heart sank. “Come on, eat. Take your meds after” 

Louise turned away, sulking. “I’m not hungry. I might as well just die.” 

Brian frowned. “Louise, can you please not say things like that?” 

He sat by her bed, unpacking the food, and began feeding her. “Here, open up.” 

Louise hesitated at first, but secretly enjoyed the attention. She opened her mouth obediently. 

Finally, Brian smiled. 

He arranged for her to have a few days off. Despite the doctor saying she was fine and just needed rest and good food, Brian insisted she stay in the hospital a bit longer.
