Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

479 Baby Shower party (2)

“Right. She even chatted with me some days ago and didn’t tell me about her baby shower. Still so dull. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.” Emma rolled her eyes, albeit playfully. They’ve witnessed Jeslyn’s feat and understood she was nothing near a dull person. But what other way to bully her? (1)

Their bullying took Jeslyn’s mind back to her days at Rose City. When these two ladies were warning her about Ray, they’d act like this.

Although the way they spoke to her didn’t hurt her, even though they were strangers to her, Christine would make a big deal out of it until she reacted angrily.

But after getting to know the two ladies well, she got to see them for who they really were. They are those friends who would speak to you in a sarcastic manner but are extremely loyal and honest. Once they made you a friend, they’d walk with you through thick and thin.

Jeslyn sighed and sat down. “Do you believe I wouldn’t invite you two if I had any idea that the party would be this big? I thought it was a small thing for my family. I mean, look at every one. They look like people going to the beach, but with a little touch of extravagance.”

“Hahaha… This girl is crazy. What a perfect way to describe your baby shower!” Emma couldn’t help herself from laughing out loud.

“Hello, everyone! May I get your attention, please?” Piper’s voice boomed.

The people slowly turned to focus on her.

“Everyone, gather around. Time to reveal the baby’s gender, then cut the cake!”

Jeslyn looked dazedly at Piper. She felt the urge to pounce on her. Gender reveal? In front of the antagonist, Valen?

Searching for him with her eyes, she saw the child holding Pink’s wheelchair. He was also looking at her. Then a smile stretched across his face.

“Should I come?” he asked.

Jeslyn started weeping in her heart, but her face had a crooked beam. “Yes, son.” 1

She froze. That wasn’t what she wanted to say. But she can’t take back her words, right?
