Falling for My Contractual Wife

At the Francis family.

Nova stayed until Brian got off work in the afternoon.

Brian was not too surprised to see Nova.

Jasmine still did not know Brian and Nova had broken up. She scolded Brian in front of Nova.

The servants had prepared the food at seven o'clock in the evening, but Shannon did not return.

Nova was worried. She had a feeling that something had happened.

"Jasmine, you should call Mrs. Adkins. It's so late, and she's not back yet."

"Maybe she went back to the Adkins family. Seriously, she didn't even tell me when she went back. I'll call and ask her."

The call went through, but no one picked up.

"Forget it. Let's eat."

Nova was a little worried and finished her meal absent-mindedly.

Jasmine wanted Nova's stay for the night. Nova happened to have something to tell Brian, so she agreed.

Brian went upstairs first at night. Nova chatted with Jasmine for a while before going upstairs.

She went to Brian's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Nova pushed open the door and walked into his bedroom. "Mrs. Adkins has left. I think there's something fishy. What do you think?"

Brian put out his half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray and turned to look at her. "You suspect it's Louise."

"Whether it's her or not, we'll know after checking."

"I just received a message from Marshall. Louise was stabbed by Shannon and was hospitalized."

"Really?" Nova asked in shock.

Brian nodded.

"Something must have happened

this afternoon. Why don't you check the surveillance of this afternoon and see if anything unusual happened before Shannon left."

en

"Alright. I'll look into it when my mother is asleep." Nova agreed. "Then call me."

Brian went to Nova's bedroom two hours later.

Nova had just finished showering. As she did not bring a change of clothes today, she wrapped a towel around herself and came out of the bathroom.

Brian was stunned. "Do you... want me to wait for you to get dressed?"

Nova calmly wrapped her hair and said, "No. I've washed my clothes. Let's go."

She was open-minded. After all, they used to sleep together for three years. He had seen all parts of her body.

Brian felt a little awkward. He touched his nose and lowered his eyes. "Let's go then," he said coldly.

Brian and Noya went downstairs

and checked the surveillance

footage. They found Shannon was

drinking coffee at 2 p.m. Her

expression changed when she

glanced at her phone. Then she tooknoveldrama

a taxi out.

However, the time she left the house was more than two hours apart from the time Louise was stabbed. What else happened in between?

"I'll go and meet Louise tomorrow and see if I can get any information from her," said Brian.

Nova glanced at Brian and smiled insincerely. She raised her hand and patted Brian's shoulder. "Perform

well. You're her favorite man. Perhaps you can find something with a few sweet words."

The moment she raised her hand, the towel around her chest was torn. With a swoosh, the towel fell to the ground.

Nova's body went cold, and she gasped.

Her skin was so smooth and beautiful that Brian stared at her intently and forgot to blink.

Nova quickly squatted and covered her body. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and turn around."

"Oh," Brian replied belatedly.

Then, he said annoyingly, "They are not very big."

Nova had just wrapped a towel around herself when she heard that. She was so angry that she kicked him hard. "It's none of your business!"
