Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 88

88 The apology

“She’s dea-” Valen’s eyes widened in shock before a smile found its way to the corner of her lips. “Dad!” The excited Valen pulled on his father’s black suit. 1

Maverick lowered his eyes at his excited son. Although Valen wasn’t beaming, his eyes were enough to tell Maverick that his son was happy.

Just how deep has Jeslyn’s root dug into Valen’s heart? He just told him that Mulan was dead and Valen didn’t show much concern but with Jeslyn he…

Maverick let out a soft sigh. It seems that what he married Jeslyn for would soon be accomplished.

Maverick brushed his son’s black hair with his fingers. His hair looked beautiful. He wondered if it was done by a servant with Jeslyn’s conviction.

Alas, the man wasn’t aware that Jeslyn was the talented barber.

“Ah,” Valen exclaimed softly and hurried out of bed. He approached the telephone and made a call to

the kitchen.

“Get me my cake,” he ordered and didn’t wait for the recipient to respond before he ended the call.

Maverick stared at his son without saying anything. Valen doesn’t eat cakes, so what was that about?

The father and son stayed silently in the room until a knock sounded on the door.

Valen rushed over to open the door. He allowed the maid in. After she dropped the cake on the table, she bowed and left, making sure to avoid eye contact with Maverick.

Valen got the cake out of the box and stared at the ‘apology’ written on it.

‘Valen child, I’m not sorry. I’ll repeat it in the future’

Maverick couldn’t help but curl his lips in a faint smile. ‘An epic apology’, he thought.

“You annoying woman,” Valen murmured before picking up the knife to cut the cake.

“I thought she’s disgusting?” Maverick asked with his hands folded on his chest.
