Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 430

430 Mother and Son’s acting

The next day, Brian went to see Pink at the house his father put her in. Standing by her bedroom door, he called, “Mom?” 1

Pink, who was looking out the window, turned and smiled. “You’re here.”

He stepped into the room and squatted by her wheelchair. “How have you been?”

“I’ve been well. I saw the racing commercial. Your Sister is in the City but I haven’t seen her. Is she well?”

“Mn. Jeslyn is busy with work and asked me to take you back to the Capital.”

“Why?” Pink frowned slightly.

“It’s a long story…”

“Tell me the important things.”

Brian sighed, “She believed what my foster mother told her. MS. Nancy told her Dad is a bad person. And he’s only using us for-”

“Do as she says. Take me to the Capital.”

“Mom, do you believe her? She’s quite silly and-”

“Your sister is the brightest child I’ve ever seen.”

“I’m not sure you are referring to Jeslyn. Do I have another sister somewhere?” he gave her a skeptical look. 1

“Hahaha… Don’t be so hard on her. She’s indeed a smart child.”

“I still doubt that, though. Else she wouldn’t have been so stupid with those cursed sisters of hers.” He sneered.

Pink couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile. “She was caught off guard by those she loved the most, so she couldn’t believe for a moment that they could betray her like they did. However, I watched her grow and unleashed her potential. She was never weak, but rather too soft–hearted.” “But mom, we shouldn’t take her words too seriously. What if she turns out to be mistaken? I’m very sure she is though. I’m just afraid that she will regret listening to my foster mother.” He sighed. “Brian,” Pink held his hands. “I also don’t know why Jeslyn feels that way towards your father, but believe me, Maverick taught her well. She wouldn’t make up things, nor let someone like Nancy tell her what to believe. Let’s trust her this once, huh?”

Brian didn’t know what to feel after hearing this. The young man still couldn’t accept it. But he doesn’t want to fight with his mother and sister, so he nodded.

“Ok. We should get going.”

Pink didn’t take anything that Hwang Min bought for her, except the wheelchair she was sitting on. Even the clothes she was wearing was the same biker wear she had on when she first approached her

son.

Seeing the clothes brought back sweet memories that Brian couldn’t help but chuckle and cry at the same time. His mother came to the City with a complete body, but leaving as a cripple. Maybe this is why Jeslyn is angry at their father, he thought.

When he pushed his mother to the front door, two guards blocked their way.

“I’m sorry, Young Master. Your father said no one is allowed to take her away,” one of the guards said.

“I beg your pardon?” Brian frowned. “I want to take my mom for a stroll and you dare to stop me?!”

“I’m deeply sorry,” the guard bowed. “But I’ll have to offend you this time.”

“Is Hwang Min putting me under house arrest?” Pink asked.

“I can’t answer that question –

“Paah!”

Brian landed a hot slap on the guard’s cheek. “How dare you use that tone of voice on my mother?!” Brian boiled with rage.

The guard gritted his teeth but didn’t respond. At that moment, another guard walked over with about fifteen men.

“Young Master,” the leading guard bowed before others followed suit. “It’s not very nice to put your hands on people. These days, you don’t know who is not having a good day.”

“Brother Slice, are you threatening me?”

Slice is Hwang Min’s right hand man. He is extremely powerful and has no fear or respect for anyone but Hwang Min. It was him who taught Brian how to fight, yet Brian can’t hold a candle to him.
