Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

448 Trouble at the party (2)

While he was talking on the phone, he caught sight of the window and a thought crossed his mind. Maverick pulled the curtains in the room together, yet they were not enough to get them down from the last floor of the ten–story building. He looked around the room and his eyes zoomed in on the bed sheet. 1

He walked up to them on the bed and was about to drag the sheets from them when the man raised his voice.

Meanwhile, the staff member was in a corner, feeling shame on behalf of the cheating duo.

“Cousin–in–law, I’m very sorry, please don’t tell my husband! I know I’m doing wrong by cheating on him with his nephew. Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to! I didn’t know what came over me! Please!”
