Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

302 Jeslyn’s visit to the prison (2)

“Father, have you gone mute?” she feigned panic. “Code 2, it seems my father has suddenly gone mute, can you help me pry his mouth open and force him to talk to me?” 1

“Jeslyn!! You cursed child, I’m your father!!!” The man roared.

“Are you?” Jeslyn raised a brow. Seeing he didn’t respond, she chuckled. “I thought as much.”

“What did you come here for?” Mr. Wales fumed.

“Code 2, help him to his scat. I don’t want people to think I’m bullying my father,” she placed her elbow on the table and supported her chin with her palm.

She looked bored and tired.

“Mr. Wales, how does it feel being behind bars? How are your inmates treating you? Do you receive enough beating?…” Jeslyn scrutinized her father for a while and drew in air through her teeth, then shook her head before she continued.

“I don’t see much injuries on you… to be honest Father, I never thought you could stay this long in jail. I thought you would have long died from harassment and bullying. Good thing you didn’t-” Jeslyn was interrupted by her father.

“I should have made sure you died before leaving the hospital on the day you were born. I regret not burying you alive when I found out you didn’t die,” he said through gritted teeth as his eyes spat raging flames.

“Wh- what are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned.

“What? You thought I was indeed your father?” Seeing Jeslyn’s confused expression, Mr. Wales burst into a pile of annoying and victorious laughter.

“Why do you think I hated your slutty mother?! Hahahaha…” Mr. Wales laughed for a long time before he burst into tears and covered his face with his palms.
