Falling for My Contractual Wife

"I'm only doing this to fulfill his wish. I know you're afraid that things will get complicated. Don't worry. I don't have a good relationship with my father. I won't introduce you to him."

Grace thought for a moment. "Alright then. I don't have much to do anyway."

Justin revealed a satisfied smile and patted her head. "Alright, I'll go back to work first."

"Be careful on the road."

At the Francis estate.

Ava was busy cooking in the kitchen while the maid stood at the side. The entire kitchen was in a mess.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Miss Adkins, let me take over! You should go and rest"

Ava glared at the maid. "I asked you to teach me how to cook, not replace me! It's rare for Brian to come back for dinner. I must cook for him! Do you know how to teach? If you don't, get out!"

The maid was scolded.

Ava spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen, working away until she finally came up with a table full of decent home-cooked dishes..

Around seven o'clock, Brian arrived home.

Ava hurriedly ran over to welcome him and, much like a wife, helped him undo his tie.

"Brian, you must be tired from working all day. You can go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I specially made it for you tonight!"

Brian took half a step back and slightly distanced himself from her. He nodded lightly. "Okay."

Brian went upstairs to change his clothes before he came back down and sat at the dining table. Ava personally served him by piling his plate with food. She even brought him a bowl of soup.

Ava watched as Brian picked up a drumstick and ate it. She looked at him expectantly. "How is it?"

It was very salty. Other than the oil, the only thing Ava added was probably salt. This was the worst meal Brian had ever eaten. However, he still ate everything out of politeness. "Considering that you probably haven't cooked in the Adkins family before, it is good enough that you managed to cook anything at all," Brian commented politely.

Hearing Brian's praise, Ava got even more excited and piled more food on his plate.

"Then eat more."

Brian took a few bites and could no longer stomach any more food. He put down his fork and looked at Ava.

Ava blinked shyly. "Brian, why are you looking at me? Do you have something to tell me?"

Brian paused momentarily and said. "Your sister went overseas."

Ava nodded. "I know."

Shannon had told Ava the news immediately!

It seemed that Louise did not intend to reconcile with Brian. When Ava heard the news, she was overjoyed for the entire afternoon! She could finally confidently express her love to Brian! Ava believed that as long as she stayed by Brian's side, he would definitely be touched by her actions!

"Your sister has left. You should go back to the Adkins family as well."

Ava was immersed in her beautiful fantasy when Brian's cold words dragged her mercilessly back to reality.

She looked at him stiffly. "Brian...you want me to leave?"

"Yes, you're a lady. It's not appropriate for you to stay here alone."

Ava's eyes instantly filled with tears. "Brian, I just thought you would be sad since Louise left and you were alone at home. I wanted to stay and accompany you. Please don't chase me away,, okay?"

Ava begged Brian pitifully.

Brian frowned and looked at her for a long time. The thought of Louise frustrated him. After a few moments. Brian stood up and said, "I guess you can stay for a while." Ava nodded eagerly. "Thank you, Brian!"

At night.

Brian could not fall asleep.
