She is an ordinary girl who loves life and was looking forward to marrying her lover. The male protagonist, Xavier, is the heir of the wealthy Braxton Industries. Due to his grandfather's serious illness, he urgently needs a wife to fulfill his grandfather's wish and smoothly inherit the family business. *The Contract Bride's Unexpected Life* tells the story of how Jessica, in the desperate moment of being betrayed by her fiancé and having her wedding shattered, hastily marries the stranger Xavier, and the subsequent twists and turns in their lives.
Jessica was originally immersed in the happiness of her upcoming marriage to her high - school sweetheart, Burke. On the wedding day, she waited eagerly in front of the courthouse, full of dreams for the future. However, Burke's phone call was like a bolt from the blue. He not only informed her that he wouldn't come to the wedding but also confessed that he didn't love her enough. What's worse, Jessica discovered that he was having an affair with her best friend, Emma. Jessica's world instantly collapsed, and her heart was broken into pieces.
Just when she was in deep despair, she overheard Xavier anxiously looking for the bride who had broken their contract on the phone. Xavier's grandfather was seriously ill and hoped to see him get married before passing away. Xavier had no choice but to sign a contract marriage with a wedding agency, but the bride failed to show up. Out of despair over love and the determination to start anew, Jessica proposed marriage to Xavier. Xavier looked at this girl with a disheveled makeup yet determined eyes, and a thought crossed his mind. The two got married in a hurry at the courthouse, becoming a couple without any emotional foundation.
After the marriage, Jessica was shocked to find that her husband was an heir to a wealthy family. She had stepped into the world of the rich overnight from being an ordinary chef. However, this change didn't bring her much joy; the pain in her heart still lingered. They went to the hospital to tell Xavier's grandfather, Dawson, the news of their marriage. Dawson's warmth and trust made Jessica feel the long - lost warmth.
In Xavier's mansion, their lives gradually unfolded. Xavier made it clear that this was just a contract marriage. They would divorce amicably after one year, and he would provide compensation. Jessica, on the other hand, hoped they could get along well and become friends. In daily life, conflicts emerged one after another. Because of his status, Xavier didn't want Jessica to work outside. He proposed to help her find a better job or start a business, which left Jessica, who loved working in the kitchen, in a dilemma.
At this time, Burke called to question Jessica after learning that she had married Xavier. This reopened the wound in Jessica's heart. She angrily accused Burke of his betrayal and cut off contact with him. However, she still couldn't let go of her feelings for him and was in great pain.
When visiting Dawson in the hospital, Jessica, out of kindness, bought the hamburger and Coke that the old man wanted. But she was severely reprimanded by Xavier. The aggrieved Jessica couldn't help but retort, and the conflict between the two intensified. Dawson asked Xavier to apologize, which also made Xavier start to reflect on his behavior.
How will their relationship develop? Where will this contract marriage lead? Can Jessica completely get out of the shadow of the past and embrace a new life? Can Xavier find a balance between love and family responsibilities? To watch more exciting plots, please continue to read the full text.
