Falling For My Contractual Wife

Louise had already taken the initiative to pick up the peeled potatoes. "It's fine. After all, Miss Nova is a guest. She should rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nova said, "There's a free opportunity to learn cooking. Of course I don't want to let it go. As long as you don't mind that I'm stupid, Jasmine." Jasmine was all smiles. "I can't be happier to have such a smart disciple like you!"

Louise listened to their conversation and could not interrupt at all. She was so angry that she took a knife and cut the potatoes forcefully.

"I'm planning to boil these potatoes. I want them to be cut into chunks!" Jasmine quickly said when she saw Louise cutting the potato slices. Louise bit her lip in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Jasmine..."

"It's alright. Just go hang out with Brian. Leave this to me," Jasmine said.

Louise was afraid that Nova would say anything bad about her in front of Jasmine. She refused to leave and tried to take Nova's work.

Seeing that Nova was about to cut the ginger, she snatched it over. "Miss Nova, you don't have to do this. Let me cut it!"

Nova was stunned and looked at Jasmine with an awkward expression.

As a woman, Jasmine could feel Louise's wariness and hostility towards Nova. Nova saved her life. Compared to Louise, she was more willing to take Nova's side. Moreover, in the past five years, she could tell that her son did not like Louise much. Otherwise, they would have gotten married long ago.

Since Louise insisted on helping, Jasmine could not say anything else and let her go. She went to Nova and asked her how she liked to have the beef cooked.

Nova smiled and said, "Jasmine, as long as it's made by you, I like it!"

Jasmine said, "Then let's make some beef brisket. Brian likes it too."

Louise was holding back her anger, but she had nowhere to vent it. She could only cut the ginger slices forcefully as if Nova was under her knife.

Louise was distracted for a moment and the blade landed on her finger. She screamed and dropped the knife.

Nova and Jasmine turned around at the same time. Nova asked, "What's wrong?"

Louise put her hand under the running water and did not answer her.

Jasmine noticed this and felt a little dissatisfied. Nova was her

esteemed guest. She didn't like, nee

fact that Louise was ignoring her.

She shouted outside, "Brian! Come in and bring Louise to put on a Band-Aid. She cut her hand!" Brian came over after a while. Louise looked at him pitifully. She looked like she was about to cry.

He took another look at her finger. The injury was not that serious. The bleeding was almost stopped. His expression was indifferent. "Come out."

Louise followed behind him with mixed feelings.

She thought, 'I am already injured, but he did not show any concerns. Does he really not care about me anymore?'

Brian went to get a band-aid and put it on her. Then, he lay on the sofa and watched television.

Louise sat beside him, but she could not help but pay attention to the sounds in the kitchen.

Due to the distance, she could not hear clearly. She only heard the occasional laughter of Nova and Jasmine.

After Nova saw that Jasmine had made a dish, she took the initiative to make the next dish herself.

Jasmine guided her from the side.

When she saw that Nova was learning well, she could not help but praise, "Nova, you are really smart."
