Falling for My Contractual Wife

Chapter 233

It had been so cold for the past two days. Grace could not stand the cold when she walked out. She could not help but get into Brian's car.

After buying poultry, fish, seafood, cured meat, and sausages, the two of them returned home together.

Looking at the pile of ingredients, Brian did not know where to start. He squatted in the kitchen and did not move for a long time.

Grace walked to the kitchen door and looked at him for a while. "Let me do it."

Grace quickly took out the cured meat. She washed the cured meat and sausages before throwing them into the pan. Then, she began to wash the fish.

The fishy smell made Grace a little uncomfortable. She could not help but retch twice.

Brian snatched the fish from her hands. "I'll do it."

He put her hands under the tap and rinsed them. "If you're worried I'll mess up the Christmas Eve dinner, stay here and watch over me. Just tell me what to do."

With that, Brian went out and brought a chair over for her to sit on. Then, he handed her a garlic.

Grace took the garlic and cleared her throat. She said awkwardly, "Turn the heat down after it boils. Use scallions and ginger to marinate the fish for ten minutes." Gradually, Brian and Grace became more in sync in the kitchen.

Soon, Brian finished preparing all the dishes.

Grace sat at the dining table. Brian brought the last dish of grilled fish over and placed it in the middle.

"Let's eat."

Grace stared at the table full of dishes and suddenly remembered that in the three years she had been with Brian, this was the first time they had Christmas Eve dinner together.

In the past, he would return to the old residence every Christmas Eve, but he would never take her along.

She remembered that on Christmas Eve that first year, he said he would return to the old residence for dinner that night. She had been so excited because she had thought he would take her home with him.

However, the next second, she heard him say, "I've arranged a driver for you. If you want to stay for a couple of days after you go home for the reunion, you can do so. Give me a call before you come back. I get the driver to pick you up." S Her heart instantly sank to the bottom.

It was only called a reunion when a family gathered together. He did not take her home. It turned out that he did not treat her as family at all.

She lowered her head to hide the panic in her heart. She wondered what she should do. Carson called to ask if she was going back for Christmas, but she said she was not going back.

Hence, that year, she had nowhere to go and wandered the streets for the entire night.

In the second year, she learned her lesson from the first year and stayed in her room all day on Christmas Eve.

Brian returned to the old residence as usual.

She came out and made the Christmas Eve dinner alone. She spent Christmas Eve with Melvin and the servants in the villa. Looking at the dishes on the table, Grace's vision was a little blurry.

Brian handed the fork to her. When she did not take it after a long while, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Grace suddenly smiled. "Brian, thank you for staying to have Christmas Eve dinner with me to prevent me from escaping. From what I novel.net remember, this is the first time we've spent Christmas Eve right?"

Brian's heart suddenly ached.

He thought about it carefully, 'Is this really the first time they have m

Christmas Eve dinner together? It seems... to be the case.'

In the three years he had been married to Grace, he had only taken e Grace back to the old residence once.

It was on the day they got their marriage license. He took her home and announced to Jasmine that he was married and asked her not to force him to get married again.

It seemed she had not returned to the old residence with him since then.

At the thought of that, Brian's heart felt constricted.
