Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

303 Why he hated his daughter

“Mom, Mr. Wales refused to tell me everything! What should I do now?

“Grandpa, why is everyone taking advantage of me and treating me like this? Why do I always get betrayed? Why have I been living in lies?! Why me?!!!” She slumped on her bed.

“Christine betrayed me for money, Ray deceived me, Grandpa, you left me, and now, my parents have been lying to me for 26 years. Who knows, I might suddenly fall sick tonight and die tomorrow due to ATOM. Grandpa…” she paused, “I’m emotionally exhausted. I can’t take this anymore,” silent tears trailed down her cheeks.

A drop of tear fell on the rainborite stone engraved in her ring and in no time, a dazzling green light shone brightly from it and enveloped Jeslyn for about ten seconds before the light went back into the stone that was still emitting a glow of other colors.

Jeslyn’s tears immediately ceased coming as she felt warmth coursed through her body, massaged her organs, and sent calm into her mind.

Her body felt relaxed and her heavy heart felt sudden peace. She soon started to feel dizzy. She opened the covers, got in and pulled the covers over herself before she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning…

Jeslyn woke up feeling energized and happy. If not that her memory was intact, one would have thought that what happened yesterday never occurred because Jeslyn seemed really happy this morning.

What happened with the ring last night was so phenomenal that she intended to keep it a secret, unless she got back to Country M and told her husband about it.

But for now, she has other matters to attend to.

After Jeslyn was done with her morning routine, she got dressed in a nude knee–length gown, black heels, a nude handbag, black shades, and a black hat- ready to head out again.
