Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

That was the second time he asked her for the reason Mulan raised her hand to slap his wife and he still hasn’t gotten an answer.

Mulan swallowed. She knew him too well to grasp the meaning behind his question.

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.

“The ties between the Lu family and the Wang family are severed, hence, you are not allowed to get close to my son. Disobeying the order will cost you more than you can imagine.” 2

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

car.

Jeslyn’s lips twitched. She wasn’t expecting to hear that, but all in all, her heart felt warm.
