Falling for My Contractual Wife

Vivian was sitting on the edge of the balcony. When Grace saw this, she was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Vivian, what are you doing?"

Thinking that she wanted to commit suicide, she rushed over qickly.

Vivian was pulled down by her. "What are you doing? Did you encounter something troubling? If anything is bothering you, just speak out. Don't keep it bottled up inside."

Vivian frowned. "What are you talking about? Did you think I would jump off the building?"

Grace was speechless. She pursed her lips awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Justin said that you seem to be in a bad mood today. You haven't been back for a long time since you left the ward. He's very worried about you and asked me to come and take a look." Vivian listened to her words, but her gaze was hollow.

"Is that so?" she said in a daze. "Will he really be worried about me?"

"Vivian, what's wrong with you?" Grace was a little worried seeing her expression.

Vivian looked straight at her. After a while, she said, "Grace, did you know that Justin likes you?"

Grace's eyes flickered slightly as she nodded. "Yes, I know.

"But I only treated him as a very good friend. I never thought of developing a romantic relationship with him."

Vivian bit her lower lip. "Grace, since you don't like him and you can't have a relationship with him, why don't you keep a distance from him? If you appear in front of him every day, it will only deepen his feelings for you."

"Vivian, I understand, but Justin has done too much for me. He was the one who paid for my brother's surgery. He was the one who accompanied me when I was hiding during my pregnancy. Without him, Austin wouldn't have been born smoothly. Without him, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you today.

"I know, I can never repay him in his lifetime what I owe him. I tried to distance myself from him before but he always managed to rescue me from the brink of disaster."

"Don't worry, when he's recovered from his injuries, I'll make sure to keep my distance from him. He's very outstanding, and if I were to be with him, I would only ruin him."

Grace's gaze was very determined, making Vivian suddenly feel her words to her just now were a little too harsh.

She bit her lip awkwardly. "Grace, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean for you to cut ties with him."

Vivian didn't know how to explain and sighed. "Sigh! Actually, I know that you can't be blamed. Everyone has the right to like someone and also the right to reject someone, but..." However, she liked Justin, and she deeply felt that Justin's actions were not worthwhile.

Grace smiled. "Vivian, you're right. If you like him, then go after him bravely."

Vivian smiled awkwardly, and her phone rang at that moment.

Vivian took a look. It was Justin. Her eyes lit up almost immediately as she answered the call.

"Vivian, where are you?" He sounded a little anxious.

"I was on the balcony. I just felt a little suffocated and wanted to get some air.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Vivian laughed self-deprecatingly. "Yes, there's a part that not feeling well."

Her heart was not well. Could she tell him that?

When Justin heard her words, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you... in a bad mood?"

Vivian pursed her lips, feeling sad and yet happy. "Yes, can't you tell why I'm in a bad mood? Is there a need to ask?"

She was happy that he finally asked her how she felt. Did it mean that he did care about her?
