Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

111 Who to blame?

Maverick knew his son even though it doesn’t look like it because at this moment, Valen was so mad that he was planning to have Jeslyn all to himself for three days straight. He understood that she was his stepmother, but even so, a child of six needs more attention than a grown man, but why does his father not know that? 1

To Valen, Jeslyn was not to blame but his father. He believed that whenever Jeslyn and his father were together, it was likely Maverick who called her over to ‘hurt’ her again.

How could the poor child be relieved when he knew that his father was leaving marks on Jeslyn?

He picked up Rex’s phone and called his father a few times but he wouldn’t pick up. “Is he hurting her again?” Valen frowned.

“Who is hurting who?” Rex immediately asked.

“Mind your business, uncle.” Valen rolled his eyes.

“You called me uncle, yet you are rude and disrespectful. Jeslyn must hear this.” Rex threatened.

Valen stayed silent without saying anything else.

At the hotel, Maverick took Jeslyn to the shower and returned to the room.
