Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

44 Mulan’s disbelief- Valen’s request.

Rex sighed and got up from his seat. He walked up to her and reluctantly patted her shoulder before saying, 1

“I know you have something brewing inside you for my brother. I don’t know what it is nor do I care to know. However, it is your fault. My brother brought you here to be Valen’s nanny and not to fall in love with him. He pays you a huge sum of money and makes sure your family is well protected.

He was kind enough to give you more than sufficient benefits as his son’s nanny. Now my brother is married and I’ll advise you to kill that thing growing inside you.

You can see that my sister-in-law is not a pushover like you had thought. She can be crazy when she’s furious. She’s mad at you for what you tried to do to her this morning, plus Valen’s behavior ticked her off.

For now, I’ll tell you to not push her, I know what you are capable of and I know what you have done and what you are planning to do to get my brother to notice you. I’ll only warn you once, desist. 1 My brother is not a good guy like me that would give you a warning or a second chance. If he could treat his loyal subjects like he does, who are you that he cannot get rid of?

For the sake of Valen, I am willing to talk this much. He patted her shoulder again. “Good luck.”

With that said, Rex also left the dining room.

Mulan’s fat tears fell one after another before they started to run like a broken tap.

She staggered to sit on a chair and lowered her head as she cried silently for a while.

The servants had cleared the table and left a while ago when Rex was still talking to her, so she was the only one left in the huge dining room.

Mulan felt an unbearable pain tearing at her heart. It was so terrific that she clutched her chest.

“This is not true,” she shook her head.
