Falling for My Contractual Wife

"Huh?" Grace's eyes widened.

Brian covered his wound and frowned. He looked pitiful. "I think it won't hurt if I hug you."

Grace pursed her lips and looked at him coldly.

He explained, "I'm not lying to you. When I hug you, my mood will improve. When I'm in a good mood, I won't think about anything else and won't feel the pain."

Grace stared at him for a moment. Brian blinked. He was as pitiful as an unwanted deer.

He sighed and turned sideways. "Never mind," he said plaintively. "Go back to the hotel."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

Just as he was about to turn to look at her, she was already sitting on the bed. "Move over there."

Brian was overjoyed. His lips curled into a smile and he immediately moved to the side. That action made

it seem like his wound no longer hurt.

Grace lay down beside him and warned him coldly, "Don't touch me."

Brian smiled faintly. "How can I move? I'm already in this state and I still want to touch you? Am I a beast?"

"Wha... What nonsense are you talking about?"

He wrapped one arm around her waist and held the back of her head with the other. He pressed her into his arms and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

It felt nice.

He was willing to lie in bed for the rest of his life if she could be by his side.

Grace had just woken up and was not sleepy at the moment. Her senses felt as if it was infinitely magnified at this moment, especially his shallow breathing, which kept landing by her ears.

She didn't know if he did it on purpose or not, but soon, her ears turned red and hot.

It was ticklish and soft. Grace moved in his arms.

His breathing was still unrelenting. One moment, it landed beside her ear, and the next, it landed on her neck.

She moved around in his arms, and the corners of Brian's lips curled up unconsciously. He was extremely satisfied.

Grace barely slept at all that night. The next morning, she habitually got up again.

The doctor came over for a routine checkup. Grace stood silently in the corner.

After the doctor finished his examination and went out, she took out her phone and said, "I'll call your mother."

"Why are you calling my mom?" Brian asked hurriedly.

"You're injured. Of course, I have to tell her. Also, I have to get Melvin to arrange for a few helpers to come and take care of you."

Brian frowned. He knew what she was thinking. She was preparing to pass him to the helpers and run away!

"She would come over if you tell her. She's only been back for less than a day. She's already old and can't withstand such trouble."

Grace was speechless. What Brian

said was the truth. If she told

Jasmine that her son was injured, she would definitely rush over immediately.

Since he had already said so, she definitely could not call Jasmine. anymore. It would seem like she did not care about her health at all.

She pursed her lips. "Okay, then."

Brian had already gotten what he

wanted, but he pretended otherwise. "Grace, do you not want to be here to take care of me? If you don't want to see me, you can go back to

Capern City. Your flight is for today. I'm the one who delayed your return."

Grace kept quiet.

She felt like she was heartless even though she didn't do anything.

Looking at his aggrieved expression, Grace cleared her throat. "Don't randomly accuse me. I didn't do anything."
