Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Maverick didn’t say anything else but only turned his head to his men who were trailing behind him.

Mulan suddenly had a weird feeling crawling towards her heart. Maverick hasn’t said anything other than those two words, but she could already feel the heat on her back.
