Falling for My Contractual Wife

Nova thought, 'This question is out of line. Is he trying to see which one of us is better at acting?'

She wrinkled her nose in mock grievance. "You didn't even call today. Who's the one that doesn't care about this relationship?"

At this moment, Jasmine suddenly pushed open the door and happened to hear Nova's words.

As soon as she came in, she started to criticize Brian. "I was wondering why you came back alone today. It turns out that you didn't even call Nova! How can you be so irresponsible? If you had picked Nova up and brought her back with you, Nova wouldn't have been injured!" Jasmine walked to Nova's side and checked her injuries with concern.

Brian's expression did not look good. The reason why he did not contact Nova today was because what happened this morning made him feel a little awkward.

Suddenly, Jasmine saw the dark red mark on Nova's neck. At first, she thought it was a wound and nervously pulled open her clothes. "Why is there a wound on her neck too!"

Nova didn't know what she meant for a moment. When she lowered her head and looked, she was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.

On the other side, Brian heard Jasmine's voice and thought that Nova had other injuries. He followed her to look.

When Jasmine saw that it was a hickey, she immediately covered Nova's clothes and cleared her throat awkwardly. However, she smiled ambiguously. "I'm so old that my visions are blurry!" Nova felt very embarrassed.

Jasmine saw that Nova was embarrassed and whispered into Brian's ear, "Did the two of you spend the night at Nova's place last night?"

Brian's eyebrows twitched. "Mom, you can go back first!"

He forced Jasmine out of the ward.

Before leaving, Jasmine even turned around and gave Nova an ambiguous smile.

The ward was quiet. Brian was sleeping on the bed beside Nova. Nova was still dealing with the work that she had not finished during the day.

In the middle of the night, Nova

wanted to go to the toilet. The

anesthetic had already worn of net

if

she moved her body now, her wound

would hurt.

She slowly moved her legs. The slight movement still woke Brian up.

Brian looked at her and knew that she wanted to go to the washroom. He got up and carried her to the washroom without saying anything.

His eyes dimmed. This scene was so familiar because he had taken care of Grace like this before.

*****

When Louise received a call from Hale and learned that he had failed, she felt terrible.

She shouted angrily into the phone, "What's wrong with you? She's an unarmed woman. How could you have missed?"noveldrama

Hale said, "The point is that she recognized me. She even knows my name! She's already investigated me!"

Louise was stunned. Thinking of the last time she met Nova, she began to panic. "Where are you now?" Hale replied, "The suburbs."

Louise said, "Hide immediately! Nova will definitely not let this matter rest!"

He also knew that he was in danger now, but he was penniless and could not last ver long on his own. Hale said, "Send me some money."

Louise was silent for a moment. No

one knew what she was thinking. Hale did not hear her and threatened, "Are you not willing to pay? Don't forget that we're all in the same boat! If anything happens to me don't even think about escaping!"

Louise suddenly smiled. "Hale, look at what you're saying. You've helped me so much. How can I not care about you? Send me a location. I'I

find time to look for you tomorrow."
