Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 697

"You're not picking up Daddy's calls, and I'm worried," Austin said.

Grace's heart ached as she hugged Austin. "Come on, let's go upstairs and sleep.

"I promise that I'll tell you and Daddy about working late from now on, so you won't be upset anymore, okay?"

Austin nodded eagerly. "Okay."

Grace picked her up and glanced back at Brian before heading upstairs.

The next day, Brian made a significant investment in Grace's project, resolving her company's crisis.

Although Grace didn't want to accept his kindness, seeing the employees working tirelessly day and night, she felt her resistance was futile.

"Thank you for your help. I'll repay this favor in the future," Grace said indifferently.

Brian was visibly frustrated, almost wanting to see through her and read her mind.

Grace sat in her chair, seemingly unfazed.

Brian sighed deeply and approached her, squatting down and gazing at her intently. "Grace, if you want to repay any favors, I'll make sure you can never repay them for the rest of your life."

Grace met his gaze and her eyes flickered.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. After knocking three times and pausing for a moment, the person pushed the door open.

Brian and Grace both looked up and at the door, the man seemed slightly taken aback.

Seeing who it was, Brian's demeanor turned cold. He stood up with his hands in his pockets, and coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Nelson smiled and replied, "I'm here to see Grace. It's got nothing to do with you, right?"

Standing at the side, Nelson looked amused, crossing his arms as he watched the scene unfold.

Grace frowned as she felt a headache coming on. "Mr. Nelson, if you have something to tell me, just say it here."

Before Nelson could speak, Brian sneered. "What does he want to tell you? It's obvious that he's trying to play the hero and help someone in distress."

Nelson's expression changed slightly.

Grace didn't understand what Brian was talking about, so she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Brian smirked mockingly.

Seeing his silence, Grace looked at Nelson, gesturing for him to speak.

Nelson sat down and asked, "I heard many investors have pulled out of your project?"
