Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

58 More trouble than she’d expect

Jeslyn suddenly felt excitement coursing through her the moment the person appeared and without further thought, she took the first step to run into his arms, but before she could take the third step, she was yanked out of the tank by the stretchy hand. 1

“You should get things ready for her treatment. You’re talking too much.”
