Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 263

Louise wanted to keep Brian staying for a night. She thought of a way and looked at Marshall. "Dad, do you want to drink some wine?"

Marshall said with a smile, "Sure. Brian, since you're also here, let's drink together."

Brian's hand paused, and he said politely and distantly, "Mr. Adkins, I have to drive later. I can't drink."

"It's fine. Louise can send you back later," Marshall said.

Brian lowered his eyes and turned to Louise. "She's a girl. How can I trouble her to send me back? Since you want to, I'll drink with you."

"Okay. Louise, go get the wine." Marshall smiled.

Louise took a bottle of red wine and filled two glasses for them.

After dinner, Brian played chess with Marshall for a while.

His phone rang. As he played chess, he picked it up and said, "Okay, wait for me outside."

Louise sat beside Brian and knew his driver had called. It seemed that he was unwilling to stay there for a night.

Putting down the last chess, Brian said to Marshall, "Mr. Adkins, my driver has arrived. I'll send Louise upstairs. See you another day."

Marshall smiled. "Okay."

Brian sent Louise back to her room. Louise hugged him and said coquettishly, "Brian, it's already so late. Do you still want to go back tonight?"

Brian grabbed her arms and separated her slightly from him. "It's not appropriate for me to sleep here."

Brian did not say anything but hugged her quietly for a while. "Alright, don't think too much. Go to bed early."

He was so straightforward. What else could Louise say?

Sometimes, she thought Brian did not want to touch her. However, the deep affection in his eyes was so real. She looked down at the ring on her finger. In a month and a half, she would become his real wife. By then, he would have to be intimate with her.

The next morning, Carson had a fever. When he had breakfast, he felt dizzy. Without eating much, he put down his fork. Grace stopped him and touched his forehead.

"You have a fever."

Carson said nonchalantly, "I'll be fine after a nap. Don't worry about me."
