Falling for My Contractual Wife

Jasmine interrupted Casper's words, delivering a rebuke that left him speechless. Clearing his hoarse throat, Casper said, "That's good. How thoughtful you are."

Brian, listening to their conversation while driving, didn't say a word. He didn't have much affection for Casper.

Soon, the car arrived back at the Francis family.

Melvin and a group of servants were already waiting at the door. Seeing Casper get out of the car, they respectfully chorused, "Mr. Casper!"

Casper surveyed the scene and was quite satisfied with the grand reception.

Walking forward with Jasmine beside him, she reminded, "Dad, watch your step."

Walking in front with his hands behind his back, Casper suddenly stopped when he noticed the playground in the yard.

Furrowing his brows, Casper halted his steps.

"What's this?" he asked.

Jasmine explained, "This is for your great-granddaughter. She's already five years old."

Casper furrowed his brows even deeper and turned to look at Brian.

"Grandpa, I'm almost thirty, I should have settled down by now," Brian said.

Casper pursed his lips, looking complicated, as if he felt uncomfortable not being involved in his grandson's marriage.

Without saying a word, he walked inside. As they neared the living room, he caught sight of a slender figure.

Brian stepped forward and stood in front of Grace, taking her hand. He introduced, "Grandpa, this is my wife, Grace."

Then, he lowered his voice to Grace, saying, "Say hello to him."

Grace's smile faltered slightly as she greeted, "Nice to meet you, Casper."

Casper didn't respond to her and instead scrutinized her from head to toe with a stern gaze.

His eyes were not friendly.

Grace's smile froze for a moment, making the atmosphere awkward.

Jasmine stepped forward to break the tension. "Come on in, why are we all standing at the door? Dad, you should go in and rest. You must be tired from the long journey

Grace felt that she had chosen the right thing to buy.

Casper, saying, "Casper, does your back hurt? You can try this. It's very effective for back pain."

Casper lifted his eyes to look at her.

His eye sockets were sunken, making his eyes look sharp.

Jasmine knew he was trying to make things difficult for Grace, so she quickly stepped forward, took the massager from Grace, and said, "I've been paying attention to this massager recently too. Since Grace has already bought one, just try it. If it works, Brian can buy me one too."

Jasmine successfully deflected Casper's attempt to cause trouble.

"Grace, help Casper put it on and try it out," Jasmine said.

"Okay."

Grace bent down and personally helped Casper put on the massager, then pressed the switch.

Casper looked displeased. He had intended to say something sarcastic, but as soon as the massager started, he felt his tense muscles had relaxed.

Feeling too comfortable to say anything to trouble Grace, he awkwardly said, "It's good."

Then, he quickly changed the subject, looking at Grace and asking, "Where did you buy this?"
