Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

45 Making peace with Valen

“I’ll move out today. I’ll take Mulan with me.” Valen said.

“I have no problem with that,” Maverick said.

Valen pursed his lips and thought about it for a while before he nodded. “Deal, but-”

“No, young man, you have no right to lay conditions. Since you have chosen to stay in the mansion for
