Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 68

“It seems you can’t eat everything at the moment. I should take the cake away while you eat the pastry,” She said. ↑

Seeing that his swollen eyes were focused on the mooncakes, Jeslyn smiled and picked out a purple and white one and cut it into four parts, revealing the cooked egg and date paste inside.

She could have baked the pastry if she hadn’t cooked the egg, but she doesn’t like the taste of baked mooncakes. She likes it with a little bit of a chewy and melting feeling.

Remembering something, Valen paused and looked at Jeslyn.

“You don’t like it?” Jeslyn asked, a little worried.

“I don’t eat sweet things.”

“Oh… that, your father permitted it. He said you are allowed to eat mild sweet things once a week.”

The boy said nothing and just picked a piece of mooncake. He examined the cake for a while before he took a bite. The shell was mildly sweet until he tested the date paste and egg.

Chewing them together with the softshell of the cake was simply delicious. One of the best things he had ever tasted. After all, he’s not allowed to eat sweet things.

“How does it taste?” Jeslyn asked with puppy eyes, waiting to get compliments from Valen.

Valen looked at her but said nothing and continued to eat quietly.

Jeslyn sighed and sat dejectedly. “Boy, it’s not easy to make food, you should show appreciation when a favor is done for you.” She lamented while pouting.

“You said it’s an apology,” Valen reminded her with puffy eyes staring at Jeslyn without emotion.

“Hmm, but there’s no harm in saying something to me for my hard work,”
