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.

Just when Valen turned and was about to leave, Maverick continued..

“You have two options. Either you get your freedom at 18 or you get your freedom at 7”

Rex widened his mouth in shock. However, Valen curled his lips.

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

“I don’t like that thing you brought home!” Valen protested.

“Her name is Jeslyn,” Maverick corrected.

Valen rolled his eyes.
