Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 604

Hearing Brian call her Grace was like a constant reminder of her humble and ridiculous past.

Grace lowered her eyes, walked past him, and left without looking back.

Brian felt empty. An endless sense of panic overwhelmed him. He turned around and shouted, "Grace!"

He rushed over and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't go, okay? I can't live without you. Do you know how much I've suffered these past five years?

"You took everything in our home with you but left behind the clothes I bought for you. I could only keep the clothes you disdained to wear and the blanket you used. I lied to myself that you were still with me as long as those things were still there.

"I wash your sheets every month. I use the same detergent you used. When I miss you, I lie in your bed all night, smelling the familiar scent. It's as if you've never left," Brian said.

Grace was already in tears. She bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from making a sound.

"Grace, I was wrong. I was very wrong. I admit that I married you because I treated you as a substitute, but I've been in love with you over time. And my love for you is deep and unshakable. I should have realized that earlier. Sorry about hurting you badly. You can punish me however you want, but don't ignore me, okay?"

Brian probably had never been so talkative before.

Unfortunately, Grace had given up on him.

She wrenched free from his grip. Grace didn't dare make a sound, because if she did, she would start sobbing uncontrollably.

Brian watched her leave. He wouldn't chase after her. Grace needed time.
