A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1684

"You treat me like a close friend. We can talk about anything. But that's exactly why this doesn't feel right."

Andrew used to look like a careless man. He seemed to care about nothing, but in fact, he was sensitive and attentive.

"So, I guess I better let you go. I've never hidden my feelings for you. I will still care for you in the future, but it will be as a friend, although I desperately wish you could love me back."

"You don't belong to me. I'm not surrendering to you, or Charlie. I'm surrendering to fate. If I had met you earlier, things would have been different now.

Grace frowned, "Why are you being so serious? I feel so weird...”

"Really? Well, you're a strange woman. I'm being serious, but you felt it weird. It's a disease! You need to go see a doctor!" Andrew shook his head, "It’s also a disease that you don't love me! You also need to see a doctor for that!"

"You sound like you're the only sane person in the world." Grace laughed out.

She felt so relaxed and at ease with Andrew. She could say anything she wanted, but there were some feelings missing.

"How I wish it were a disease. Doctor and medicine can cure it, but it's just a wish!" Andrew swallowed and let out a long sigh.

Then he leaned in and took her in his arms.

He had so many feelings for her, but she didn't...

He held Grace tightly in his arms.

His embrace was powerful as if he wanted to squeeze Grace into his body.

Grace didn't struggle or say a word. She just stood still and let him hold her and put her hands on the back of his shoulders.

Andrew narrowed his eyes with a smirk, let go of her, and then quickly leaned in to kiss her on the lips before she realized it.

His move was quick. Then he walked away, winked his charming eyes, and walked out of the room.

Grace was a little angry, but she felt more helpless. She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number.

Within a few seconds, the call was answered. It was Kingsley.

"Thank you for warning me and advising me."

Kingsley was in his office. His fair-textured white shirt was rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong, well-shaped arms. He was signing papers. He asked gently, "Are you going to give it a try?"

Grace was leaning against the window, "I'm going to watch him for a period of time. But my heart was softened."

Grace has always been straightforward. She never lied.

"I'm glad to hear your answer. I guess what I said to you worked..."

Kingsley put his pen aside and leaned his back against the leather chair. "Your divorce has hit Charlie hard. He always thinks about the day you guys got divorced, and it's like a thorn in his heart." "Those scars hurt him so much. He won't give you any more hurt in the future. Have you ever read a comic about cactuses?"

Grace casually tied her curly hair up and shook her head honestly, "I've never liked reading comics or books. Reading books makes me sleepy."
