Falling for My Contractual Wife (Grace and Brian) novel Chapter 550

Brian knocked on Nova's door.

After knocking for a while, Nova opened the door. She looked tired and yawned. "What's the matter?"

Brian leaned lazily against the door and asked, "How long do you want to do the silent thing?"

Nova smiled and said, "That's how I am in a relationship. I'm frigid."

Brian's face darkened. "Was it a dog who kissed me and seduced me back then?"

Bang! The door was slammed shut.

Brian touched his nose and let out a breath. He returned to his room with a gloomy expression.

No matter how he thought about it, he still felt annoyed.

Nova wanted to use him to deal with Louise and then dumped him. 'No way!' he thought. 'Even if it's an act, she has to continue.'

Brian went from the cloakroom to Nova's room. The room was empty. She must have gone to take a shower.

He looked around and then lay down on her bed. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose. It felt familiar and mesmerizing.

Brian closed his eyes and suddenly felt relaxed. He had the urge to sleep there.

At that moment, he felt something hard pressing against his spine. He propped himself up and touched it. It was a pendant. He remembered that Nova wore the pendant around her neck almost every day.

Brian played with it in his hand. It was not beautiful but added a cold aura to her.

He rubbed the edge of the pendant with his fingers and suddenly discovered that the pendant seemed to be able to open.

"My ex gave it to me," she said after a moment's silence.

Brian's eyes narrowed. "You're still keeping what your ex-boyfriend gave you after so long. It seems like you love him deeply."

Nova took a deep breath and said in a tone that sounded like she was telling someone else's story, "When I was with him, I did love him, but later on, I found out that he only treated me as a substitute for his first love. After his first love came back to him, he dumped me ruthlessly.

"I hate him. In that relationship, I gave him my most passionate love, but in return, all I had was pain and sorrow. I kept the pendant to remind me of the humiliation he brought me!"

Nova held the pendant tightly. Her eyes could not help but fill with tears when she finished her telling.

Brian looked into her eyes. It was the first time he had seen her cry.

Pearly tears trickled down her face. Brian felt an inexplicable heartache and pulled Nova into his arms.
