Falling for My Contractual Wife

Ava’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Do I mishear her? Is Louise asking me to go to Brian’s house?‘ Ava thought.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go?” Louise asked with a smile when she saw the surprised look on Ava’s face.

“No! I do!” Ava said almost immediately.

Realizing that she sounded too eager, Ava cleared her throat. “Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t agree to it because of you. I agreed to go for Brian’s sake.”

Louise had a gentle smile on her face. Meanwhile, Louise was mentally sneering at Ava.

‘Idiot! She really thinks too highly of herself. As long as I don’t agree, Ava won’t be able to step through the doors of the Francis family for the rest of her life. She doesn’t even have a bit of gratitude!‘ Louise thought.

Shannon was also shocked. The other day, Ava acted provocatively towards Louise during their meal, admitting that she liked Brian.

Louise knew that Ava liked Brian yet still asked her to go to the Francis’s home. “Is she really that generous or does she have an ulterior motive?‘ Shannon thought.

Shannon was a worldly person, but she couldn’t see through Louise.

Shannon knew her own daughter only too well. ‘What should I do if Ava went over to the Francis’s home and caused trouble?” Shannon thought.

Thinking of this, Shannon tried to dissuade Ava. “Ava, what are you going there for? You’re so clumsy. You’ll only cause trouble for your older sister.”

Ava looked at her mother in shock.

‘What is she saying? She doesn’t help me fight for the chance to marry Brian, and now she’s preventing me from going to Brian’s home! Is she really my real mom? Ava thought.

“Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by saying I only know to cause trouble?” Ava demanded.

Louise worried that Shannon wouldn’t allow Ava to go with her, so Louise hurriedly said, “Shannon, that won’t happen. I’m all by myself in the Francis family’s home without anybody. I just want someone to talk with.”

Shannon saw that Louise was sincere. Ava was bent on going to the Francis family home. Shannon felt that she might not be able to stop Ava.

“Very well. Just let her test the waters and find out what on earth Louise has up her sleeve; Shannon thought.

Hence, Ava followed Louise to the Francis’s house.

Ava stood at the gate of the Francis estate. Her eyes lit up with excitement. She secretly vowed to take this opportunity to make Brian see how amazing she was, fall in love with her, and then get rid of Louise, this bastard child.

Louise glanced at Ava silently from the side, sneering in her heart as if Louise had already guessed what was going on in

Ava’s mind.

Grace was busy working in the kitchen when they walked into the living room.

Louise took Ava on a tour of the villa to familiarize her with the environment. After the stroll, it was already time for lunch.

Louise pulled Ava to the dining room with her. When Louise saw Grace, she said kindly, “Grace, let’s eat together at noon

today!”

“Miss Adkins, this is not appropriate. I’m not hungry right now. If it’s okay, I’ll be going back to my room now.”

Following Grace’s words, Ava looked at Grace, looking Grace up and down rudely. “Who is she?”

Louise smiled and introduced Ava. “Her name is Grace Sherman. She is our maid. She has been here for more than two years. Her culinary skills are superb. Brian is most fond of her cooking.”

As Louise spoke, she sighed. “Alas, it’s a pity that she’s leaving in two months‘ time. I think Brian will definitely be reluctant to give her up.”

Grace frowned slightly when she heard Louise’s words. At first, Louise’s words Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

sounded like nothing was wrong with them, but if one were to look at them closely, it would be easy for people to misunderstand them.

*Louise, are these the manners of the Francis family? You’re telling a maid to eat with the owners of the house. Was she always eating with wou before?” Ava smiled contemptuously in her eyes.

Louise smiled awkwardly. “No. We just eat together once in a while. Grace, this is my sister, Ava. She’s very blunt with her words, so don’t take it to heart!”

Ava raised her eyebrows. “What’s the matter? Does the boss have to mince their owners when speaking to a maid?”

Grace could see that Ava was spoiled and bossy. Ava wasn’t easy to deal with. “I can’t afford to provoke her, but I can avoid her, Grace thought.

“Miss Adkins, you can eat first. I’ll return to my room.”

“Stop!” Ava’s eyes widened in a glare.

Grace paused and heard Ava say arrogantly, “Since you are a maid, you must wait by the side when your masters eat! Haven’t you got any manners?”

Grace took a deep breath and stood silently to the side.

Finally, Ava felt pleased with herself. She sat in a chair and glanced at the food on the table, which was indeed full of color and flavor.

Ava felt sour inside. ‘Does Brian really like this woman’s cooking? I heard that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This Grace must have improper intentions towards Brian!‘ Ava thought.

Thinking of this, Ava was already boiling with rage before she even started eating.

She slammed her fork on the table with a snap. “Serve me soup!”

Grace was indifferent to Ava and walked over to serve Ava a bowl of soup with a blank face.

“Do you not have any manners at all? What’s that face you’re making? Did someone die? Don’t you know to say, ‘Miss Adkins, please enjoy your soup‘?” Ava once again started criticizing Grace.

Grace opened her mouth and said in a non–wavering tone, “Miss Adkins, please enjoy your soup.”

Ava was a little satisfied and lowered her head to take a sip of the soup.

The delicious fish soup entered her mouth. Her taste buds felt like they were enjoying a grand feast.

Ava couldn’t help but take another big sip. It was delicious.

Grace’s food was so delicious that Ava was so busy burying her head in her food that she didn’t have time to cause Grace trouble.

After eating, other maids came to clean up the plates and silverware. When Grace was going to eat, a call from Ava stopped her in her tracks.

“Where are you going? Ill–mannered

scum.”

Grace was a little irritated and turned to look at Ava. “Miss Adkins, please mind your words. I have a name and surname. My name is Grace Sherman. Being a maid is a proper job. Please give a worker the most basic respect ”

“You!” Ava was mad.

“Also, it’s my mealtime. If Miss Adkins needs me, then please wait until I’m at work.”

After Grace finished saying that, she went to the maid’s dining room without looking back.

Ava’s hands trembled with anger. She never thought that a maid would dare to scold her!

Who does she think she is? She’s so hateful! I’m not going to let that slut off so easily! Ava thought.

Louise sneered and smirked before she dropped the look and stepped forward to comfort Ava. “Ava, don’t take it to heart. After all, she is different from other maids, Brian deeply favors her.”

‘Deeply favored? Louise, are you that useless? Who does she think she is? She dares to act high and mighty in front of her superiors! What time does she go to work?”

“Two o’clock,” Louise said softly.

Ava snorted coldly. “I’m going to take a nap. I’ll handle that little slut later!”
