Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

132 Mean nothing to him

Two months later…

At the hostel, Jeslyn arrived from lesson, feeling drained. The hostel couldn’t be said to be a hostel. It was a condominium, Every student has their own apartment which includes three rooms with three bathrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen, and a dining room. It also has a balcony where the city could be

viewed.

If Celestine Xuan could call a glass house condominium a hostel, then what would she call a hostel if

she sees one?

Jeslyn entered the bathroom to shower and when she came out, her phone was ringing. She answered the call after seeing the ID.

“Yes,” she rolled her eyes after hearing what he said.

“Mr. Maverick, I already sent you the terms of the contract. You can’t come and I can’t leave. Our visitor’s day just ended yesterday. Instead of you, Rex came, so what can I do?”

Jeslyn smiled when she heard what he said. “There’ll be a week’s break next month. You can come pick me up. I want to visit Valen.”

It’s been two months since lessons started and they were used to the rules by now but Maverick was never used to it. Every day, he calls to pester Jeslyn but Jeslyn was hellbent on following rules.

For two months and two weeks, Jeslyn and Maverick haven’t seen each other and the man was about to expel Celestine Xuan from Country Y for intentionally torturing him. However, knowing that if he did anything and Jeslyn found out, she would get mad like she did with Piper’s case.

Remembering that day, Maverick’s eyes grew dark. He knew Vera was the reason Jeslyn found out and for that, he had locked Vera in her room for two months, seized her phone, and only made the kitchen prepare her one type of meal… Tasteless vegetable.

Maverick put his phone away with his lips thinned. She wants to see Valen. He narrowed his eyes before standing up and heading out of his room.

Walking past the first floor where Vera’s room was located, Maverick glanced at the door but didn’t stop. Walking down the stairs, the butler hurried forward and bowed.
