Falling for My Contractual Wife

This residential area was quite big, so they walked around as if taking a stroll, engaging in idle talk from time to time.

When they approached the entrance of the apartment building, Vivian suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. It was Justin!

He seemed to have come down to dispose of the trash, and he also noticed Vivian at the same time.

"Vivian?"

Vivian couldn't help but smile. "Justin, when did you come back?"

Justin said casually, "I've just arrived not long ago."

Then, he looked at Carson, and his gaze lingered on the two of them. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, "Why are you two together?"

Vivian could tell from his tone that he had misunderstood. She immediately explained, "Justin, don't misunderstand. Carson was just sending me back on his way. There's nothing between us." Her explanation made Carson feel a little awkward.

Justin smiled and asked Carson if he wanted to go up and chat for a while.

Carson waved his hand. "No, I'm worried about my sister being alone at home. I'll go back first."

"Okay."

They watched Carson leave before entering the apartment building together.

In the elevator, Vivian explained, "Justin, there's really nothing between Carson and me. You must not misunderstand."

Justin smiled. "Vivian, how many years younger is Carson compared to you?"

"I don't know."

"Carson is a good guy," he said ambiguously.

Vivian was tremendously anxious. "Justin, what are you talking about? I don't like him, and he's not interested in me."

Justin smiled and did not say anything. Vivian bit her lip and did not know how to explain.

After walking out of the elevator, Justin said to her, "Rest early."

"Okay." Vivian was heavy-hearted.

When she got home, she held her phone and wanted to send a message to Carson but did not know how to tell him.

After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly saw at the top of the screen showing the other party was typing.

After a while, he sent a message. [Are you still awake?]

Vivian seemed a little guilty and immediately replied, [No.]

After a while, the other party did not reply. Just as Vivian was wandering if she should tell him about the incident tonight, Carson sent another message.

[I'm sorry about today. Justin might have misunderstood us by me sending you into the residential area. I'll send you to the entrance next time to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.]

His words made Vivian feel a little guilty. The other party had kindly sent her back without any other intentions, but she had hurriedly cut ties with him.

Anyone in the same position would feel uncomfortable, but Carson still apologized to her. It made her feel a little ashamed.

She thought for a moment and replied, [No, I should be the one apologizing. I overreacted.]

The other party did not reply for a long time.

After a long while, he responded, [Rest early.]

*****

In the Francis family residence, because Louise was worried that Brian would ask around about Ava's lockup in the police station, she was extra careful and even found ways to stay at Brian's house. For two consecutive days, she spent the night at Brian's house. However, he did not express any opinions.

He seemed to have tacitly agreed to let her stay at home, and this greatly lifted Louise's spirits over the past few days.

She even went to buy groceries personally every day. When he got home from work at night, she would specially cook for him.'Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

However, what Louise could not figure out was that Brian still avoided physical intimacy with her.

Since the first night she came back here, he had arranged for her to stay in the room she had stayed in previously.
