Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

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

Number 2 immediately stepped out from the line of guards behind Maverick and started to walk towards Mulan.

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.

With that said, Maverick glanced at Jeslyn who had a beam on her face, and walked away, towards his

car.
