Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

54 Fight for the lounge chair

“So, why then did you ignore her plea? Aren’t you a demi devil whom people feared? Even your father gives in to you, so why were you mum about her plight?” Jeslyn asked with a brow raised.

Valen stayed silent for a while with his brows knitted. How could he help her? He might be a little demon, but his father was the real deal. (1

Valen knows when he should get involved with his father’s business and it was certainly not the right thing to get himself into a mess by going out to rescue that woman.

Besides, his feelings for Mulan aren’t that great to consider her an important person to fight for. Also, she should have known better than to offend her boss. 2

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Hearing Jeslyn’s words, Valen raised his head, still, he couldn’t get a proper view of that beautiful and cute face, “it’s none of your business.” He enunciated before walking back to the lounge chair. Jeslyn’s lips twitched. This child…

She narrowed her eyes at his small statue, thinking of what to do to him when she heard the sound of a car zooming into the compound.

She instinctively turned to look at who had arrived. Jeslyn didn’t think it was Maverick because he just left and it shouldn’t be Rex either because he said he was traveling two days ago.

Looking at the black car that drove straight to the parking lot, she waited for the person to come out.

A while later, someone did. A woman in a black suit.

Just when Jeskyn was about to turn around to ‘bully’ the little demon again, the woman turned towards her. The distance was far, but it was enough to see a vague figure of a person and what they were wearing.

The woman had a head of multicolored hair, with pink outline, just like Pink.

Jeslyn froze and her mind traveled back to the prison and reminisced a little of the memories she created with those two in jail.
