Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

175 [Bonus chapter] Caring for a pregnant woman

“That’s good. I’ll ask doctor Matt later what you should be eating. Then when next the kitchen prepares your meal, I’ll pay extra attention.” Jeslyn said like a mother caring for her child. 1

“Thank you, Rossa.”

“It’s no big deal. You are carrying our child, so you need to be properly taken care of. Jeslyn beamed.

For some reason, Vera shivered. What woman gets this happy when there’s another woman who could ruin her home, sitting in front of her? The more Vera thought, the more confused she got. The only thing that stuck to the back of her mind was that Jeslyn has bad intentions towards her and her baby! That’s right, as a ‘stepmother‘, she would want to kill the unborn child just so Valen would also die. When that happens, Vera would no longer have a reason to remain in the house and Jeslyn will no longer worry about her marriage getting ruined.

Although Vera knew that it shouldn’t be her concern if Valen died, still she didn’t want that because it would ruin her mission, so she needs to protect Valen and her pregnancy.

While Vera was overthinking it, Jeslyn was busy, eating the delicious food she personally made for her dear plum.

“Plum, we haven’t gone on a date since we got married. Aren’t you going to take me out?” Jeslyn smiled.

Maverick raised his gaze from his food and looked at her. “Where do you have in mind?”

Jeslyn shook her head, “you should know the good places in the Country.”

Maverick nodded and cut a slice of chicken he brought to her lips.

Jeslyn happily parted her lips while her eyes shifted to Vera’s direction. Her smile brightened when she saw Vera was a step away from exploding.
