Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

187 How’s the baby?

Just before her eyes lost their shine, she screamed.

Her scream startled Jeslyn and co. Seeing they were all looking at her with a frown on Jeslyn’s face, Vera soon realized she was only imagining things. She had just walked into the kitchen and hadn’t even said anything. 2

“Why are you sweating so much after screaming? Is there a killer hiding somewhere in the kitchen?” Jeslyn darted her eyes around the kitchen in jest.

“N-no, I came to get some water and almost slipped.” She stuttered and whipped her face.

“You should have sent the maids. Do be careful, I spilled some oil around that area and-”

“Ahhh!” Vera jolted and fell on her butt. 1

“Ouch!…” Jeslyn made a pained expression. “That’s a bad fall. Does it hurt? Can you stand?… Riya, help her up, hurry… her baby!”

Maya hurried over and helped Vera to her feet.

“How is the baby? Hope it’s fine?” Jeslyn asked with feigned concern.

“Thank you,” Vera answered through gritted teeth.

“Good to know… but how did you fall?” Jeslyn asked, holding back laughter. 2

Vera almost exploded but suppressed it with a deep breath. She opened the fridge, took a bottle of water, and left.
