Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 497

497 Kidnapped

Rex stared at Valen for a while before asking, “don’t you feel she’s a thorn in your flesh-” 1

“She’s not.”

“OK, I agree, she’s not. But look at you. You’re almost like a ghost who doesn’t exist. Everything you do now is for your sister and parents. It feels like you’re no longer living. Valen, this is not a good sign. “Valen,” Rex held his hands. “I know you’ve missed your parents. You are but a shell of yourself right now. You don’t even talk anymore these days. Look at you, you’ve grown thinner. Do you think Jeslyn will forgive herself if she comes back and sees you like this? Here is my suggestion. I’m sure it will help rekindle your hopes. Put Kaylus in school and pay your parents a visit.”

Valen’s eyes shone. “Will I be able to see them?”

Rex shook his head, “I’m not certain but being around them should do the magic. What do you think?”

“OK.” He agreed.

Meanwhile, Doyenne was seen talking on the phone with Lady Sabrina. [3]

“What is going on, Doyenne? It’s been three years and you still haven’t gotten that child!”

“If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you go get her yourself?” Doyenne fired back.

“It looks to me that you’ve been lusting after men and aren’t doing your job! If I had the luxury to show myself in public, do you think we’d rely on you? We aren’t immortals, damn it!”

“What can I do?! That baby is being protected like they were told we are aiming for her.”

“For the past two years, three of the witches have died of old age. No one to pass their gifts to. I don’t know if it will be my turn tomorrow. The earlier you get that child, the better for us all!”

Doyenne hissed in rage and threw her phone on the couch. This is so annoying. She never thought it would be this hard to get their hands on a child.

While she was thinking of what to do, the solution came right to her when she saw the news.
