Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

I command you now, take me back!!”

Maverick paused at her scream with his eyes still on her.

Rex, who had been watching the show with his pointed finger following Jeslyn around, knitted his brows and let out a sound to show his confusion. “Huh?”

“Wait,” he put down his finger. “You think you are dreaming? Is that what I think it is?” He hurried over to stand beside Maverick.

“Of- of course. Does this look real to you?” Jeslyn replied while blinking.

“Pfft… hahahaha….” Rex couldn’t keep his snicker and laughed so hard that he held his stomach. He pointed a finger at her and said amidst laughter. “Jeslyn Lee, you are… hahaha…” 3

“Wh… what is it? What’s so funny?” Nobody answered her and she watched the man walk towards a single couch and sat down with one leg over the other.

After Rex had laughed his intestines out, he also sat beside Jeslyn and said while trying to look

serious. “This is no dream, Lee.”

Jeslyn looked around the house one more time and shook her head, “You can’t be serious.” She

refused to believe it.

The first reason was that she was clearly sleeping in the car and when she woke up, she met herself here.

Secondly, this house is too luxurious to be owned by someone in Rose City. Her Lee family was the richest. If they cannot afford a house like this, then no one in the whole City would dare. Unless they want to relocate to the slum.

Thirdly, Jeslyn was brought up in wealth and spoiled rotten with the latest brand of everything; from accessories, and clothes to furniture. She knows most of the brands and from all she had seen, starting from the room she woke up from, to the sitting room and even the style of the interior decor,” no designer in the whole of country A does it.

“You are not in country A.” Maverick finally spoke. From the way she was looking at the decorations in the sitting room, he figured out what she was thinking.

If Jeslyn had been shocked, now she was more flabbergasted at what she just heard.

“Wh- where am I?”

“Country M,” he answered.

“Ahhhh!” Jeslyn screamed and jumped up to her feet.

Rex sighed. He was still wondering what his brother was thinking. How could he bring someone from another country into their country? Not even a strong-hearted person but a little puppy like Jeslyn

Lee.
