Falling For My Contractual Wife
Chapter 265

After eating the noodles, Justin took the plate to the kitchen.

Grace walked over and snatched it from his hand. "I'll wash it."

Justin dodged and said, "I'll stay here tonight and leave after confirming that Carson is fine tomorrow."

"But there's only the sofa in the living room."

"It's okay."

Grace stood in the kitchen and watched Justin washing the plate and pot.

She suddenly felt sorry for him.

Justin smiled. "With that guilty look in your eyes, do you think you owe me too much?"

He raised his eyebrows and continued, "I have to make it clear first. I will only accept you as appreciation." Grace smiled. "Sleep early. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow."

"Okay."

The next day, Carson's fever finally subsided. He woke up early in the morning and was full of vigor.

Seeing Justin sleeping in the living room, Carson knew Justin had come to treat him last night. He consciously went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Grace stewed the soup for Frederick and said to Carson, "The soup is in the pot. Send it to Dad later."

Carson saw that she was about to go out. "Where are you going?"

"Have lunch with Dr. Vance."

Carson stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he stood up and took Austin away from her arms. "I'll take care of Austin."

Grace was about to say something when she heard Carson mutter softly, "Why are you bringing a child on a date?"

She was lost for words.

Fortunately, Justin was already at the elevator. Grace glared at Carson and instructed, "Then take good care of her. I'll be back soon."

"Don't come back." Carson raised his eyebrows.

Grace sighed helplessly and closed the door.

The elevator door opened, and Justin walked in. He pressed the button for basement one and said softly, "It seems that your brother can take care of Austin with ease now." Grace smiled. "That's right. When I came back on the first day, he didn't even dare to move while carrying Austin.

"What do you want to eat?"

Justin answered with a gentle gaze, "I won't be picky since you treat me."

Grace chose a restaurant that they had been to before. She still wore a hat and mask and disguised herself.

They chose a relatively private booth.

The dishes were served, and Grace was about to eat when she saw two familiar people walk in.

Her expression changed slightly.

When did Capern City become so small? Why did they meet everywhere?

Fortunately, the position she was sitting in was not easily discovered.

The two people chose a table by the window. Grace looked at their intimate movements from afar and was little absent-minded.

Justin noticed her change and followed her gaze. His eyes darkened, and he closed the curtains with a whoosh.

"Looking at them will affect your appetite."

Grace came back to her senses and nodded. "It does affect my appetite."

Even if she couldn't see them now, she had no appetite.

Grace ate absent-mindedly. She hid her emotions well and did not show them in front of Justin.

After a short while, she couldn't eat more. She put down the fork and said, "I'm going to the washroom."

She put on her hat and mask and lowered her head on the way.

Grace went out of the washroom and stood by the sink in a daze, the cold water running through her hands.

A pungent smell of perfume wafted over. Grace sobered up and glanced at the mirror, only to see a familiar woman standing behind her.
