Falling for My Contractual Wife

Only Maia and Grace were left in the room. Maia lowered her head and said to her, "Don't worry, Justin will do his best to save your brother."

Upon hearing Carson, Grace's eyes finally moved. She slowly turned to look at her.

She thought, 'So this person is arranged by Justin. But it is too late now. My child is gone, and my heart has died with her.'

For a moment, she really wanted to ask about Carson's condition or her daughter's corpse.

However, when she thought of the scene of Austin being submerged in the sea, she felt so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't even open her mouth.

She closed her eyes and could no longer hear what Maia was saying.

Maia looked at her disheartened face and said a lot of comforting and encouraging words, but Grace did not react at all.

After applying the medicine and injecting her, the prison guard let Maia leave. She looked at Grace and sighed deeply.

In the following days, Grace was like a soulless puppet. Every day, she lay in bed and looked at the ceiling. When her eyes were tired, she would sleep. When she woke up, she would continue to daydream. Soon, it was time for the second trial.

Grace was chained up and brought out by the prison guards to wait outside the jail.

A prison van drove over. Grace lowered her head and was pushed by the prison guard. She staggered and got into the car without looking up.

She stared blankly at the ground.

She wanted to expose Louise during the second trial. Even if she could not find any evidence for the time being, she had to have Louise be investigated by the police. If Louise was at the trial, she would definitely kill her at all costs. Suddenly, there was an urgent, sharp honk from the front of the car.

Grace looked ahead and saw a dark red truck crash into her car.

Her eyes widened and her body suddenly left the seat.

"Bang!" A violent collision sounded. Grace's entire body was in pain as if it had been torn apart.

At this moment, she seemed very sober.

The scene of her meeting Brian for the first time flashed through her mind.

His expression was cold. When he saw her, his cold and handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be surprised.

That day, she had believed in love at first sight. When he said that he wanted to marry her, she had completely fallen for him.

Even though she found out later that he only treated her as a substitute, she would gladly accept it.

Like a movie replay, every detail of the past three years flashed through her mind.

Brian, then

There was the gentle Brian, the cold angry Brian, and the

affectionate Brian. However, his love

Grace smiled slowly. She thought, 'Brian... This is all because of you. Without you, I wouldn't have crossed paths with Louise. Without you, I wouldn't have any weaknesses, Now, everything is over. My eyelids are so heavy. I feel so tired. This is good. This is finally coming to an end. I can finally be free.

Grace slowly closed her eyes, as if she no longer missed anything in this world.

Brian was driving to the courthouse. While waiting for the traffic lights, he lit a cigarette.

It was June, and the air seemed to be a little stuffy. He loosened his tie and rolled down the car window. The slightly hot wind outside blew against his face, but he felt even more vexed.

He felt restless as if something was about to happen.
