Falling for My Contractual Wife

"Well, alright! You should cultivate your relationship first," Casper said.

Brian didn't say anything more, then after a while, he glanced upstairs and said, "I'll go up first."

Lately, Grace would usually take Austin upstairs to learn drawing after finishing dinner.

Austin had a regular routine, going to bed at nine in the evening.

Grace would only return to her room to take a shower after Austin fell asleep.

Just after finishing her shower and returning, she was forcefully pressed against the door by a strong force.

Brian firmly held her in his arms and asked softly, "Grace, deep down, you do care about me, don't you?"

Grace struggled. "Let me go."

"Today, you went to Gastrognome Restaurant because you didn't want me to meet someone else, right?" Brian said.

"You're thinking too much. It was your mom who insisted on taking me there," Grace said.

Brian was not angry. He chuckled softly, "You're quite stubborn, but I have plenty of ways to let you give in."

The last word vanished between their lips as he kissed her fiercely.

Grace's heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated for a moment before being overwhelmed by his passionate kiss.

Seeing her unable to stand straight, Brian released her satisfactorily. "Give in?"

Grace panted and glared at him.

He chuckled softly. "Steady now, I'll let go."

With that, he deliberately let go of her hand, causing Grace to slip.

He quickly caught her, pulling her close. "Looks like you're still reluctant to leave my embrace."

After saying that, he kissed her hard on the mouth as punishment.

Grace stomped on him angrily. "Shameless!"

Brian laughed like a triumphant child. "Listen to me, to prevent

Grace lowered her eyes, feeling a bit sour at the tip of her nose.

Brian kissed her forehead. "Grace, I feel uneasy, you know?"

He held her hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.

Feeling the warmth, Grace instinctively tried to retract her hand, but he held it tightly.

Then he leaned in, whispering something in her ear, causing Grace to punch him hard.

Brian chuckled softly, releasing her. "Good night."

Nelson quickly got familiar with the business. His constant smiling face won him favor with many employees right after joining.

Unlike Brian, who often appeared

stern and aloof, Nelson didn't put on airs. Besides, he was single and attracted many female employees to try to please him.

For this reason, Camren was worried. "Mr. Francis, Nelson has quickly won over many employees since joining. Isn't this disadvantageous to you?"

Brian sarcastically smiled. "It's fine. Those who flatter him are inconsequential."

The veteran members of the Francis Group were extremely loyal to Brian. In the eyes of those shareholders, Nelson was just a joke.

However, the calm days didn't last long.

Just after the Francis Group had produced a batch of electronic products, they were detected with allergenic dyes during customs clearance, exceeding environmental standards and not meeting the requirements of the foreign side. A return notice had already been sent from overseas.
