Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 137

137 Unbelievable! 

Jeslyn was pacing back and forth in her sitting room while biting her nails with her phone in hand. The screen showed that Maverick’s number was on dial. 

[Sorry, the number you called is not available at the moment, please try again later… ] 

Jeslyn hissed and canceled the call. “What is wrong with you? Your network is bad. How can Maverick’s phone be unreachable for three days? That’s absurd!” 

“Little bunny, calm down. You are making me dizzy.” Yellow said while rubbing her temple. 

“How can I calm down when I can’t speak with anyone? I can’t even speak with Pink.” She pouted. 

“I called Pink and she said your husband is fine. Don’t worry about him. Nothing can happen to him.” 

“How sure are you? What if they take the fight to the hospital where Valen is?” 

Yellow chuckled, “why do you think your husband started this chaos in the first place?” 

“He started it?” Jeslyn frowned in displeasure. 

Yellow sighed and shook her head. “The earlier you stop seeing your husband as a good person, the better for you. He started it because he just found out that Damien Yu was the cause of Valen being in 

that situation.” 

Jeslyn froze. A moment later she knitted her brows. “What do you mean?” 

“Damien Yu and Mulan had been working together in the sense that Mulan wanted to be the Boss‘ wife. She had had her eyes on the boss right from when they were children and Damien was the first to know. The knowledge became handy to Damien when he smelt Boss would be his rival, so he approached Mulan with friendship. 

Mulan didn’t understand what he wanted but they became friends and he started to ignite the fire in Mulan. 

When Valen was brought to Boss, Mulan wanted to give up but Damien refused. Then she planned to kill Valen, however, Damien still refused. Then he told Mulan to be Valen’s caretaker. By making Valen love her, she will automatically become your husband’s wife. 

So, Mulan went to learn all she could about caring for kids, However, she couldn’t hide her malicious intentions from Boss which was why he brought you over.” 

“How did Damien or whatever incur Maverick’s wrath?” Jeslyn asked. 

“Yeah, Damien came up with the idea to ingest Valen with ATOM. He instigated Mulan to take the child out to be kidnapped. He also provoked Davis Xu to carry out the experiment. Also, Damien was the reason Vera abandoned Valen in the hospital … so your husband is right to be angry.” 

Jeslyn slowly blinked. Her brain was messy. Most of what Yellow narrated surprised her, but the one that weakened her the most was that Vera wasn’t a bad woman. She didn’t run away like they all thought. Meaning, she deserved to return to her family… and her? 

Jeslyn bit her lip and turned around to head to her room. She needed to calm down so she could think straight.

Yellow watched her leave and sighed. “Little bunny, the situation is getting sticky. Hope you won’t 

break.” 

“Eldest Miss, I brought the… where did Miss go?” Nanny Martha came out from the kitchen with a bowl of piping hot chicken soup. 

“She’s feeling sleepy… What did you make? Bring it, let me take a bite.” 

“It’s for Miss.” She refused. 

“Little bunny won’t be leaving her room anytime soon. It will go to waste if you don’t let me have it.” 

The Nanny sighed and handed the dish to her. She was right. Nanny Martha doesn’t like to give Jeslyn food that was left to rest for hours.) 

Inside her room… 

Jeslyn was playing with her phone, dialing Maverick’s number and ending it at intervals. She didn’t even know what she was doing because her mind was filled with many thoughts. 

It was she who said she wanted to divorce Maverick so he could reunite with Vera, but now, she couldn’t even conceive that idea anymore. Why? 

It was her who said she wanted Valen to grow to love his mother but it’s the same her who can’t accept for Valen to recognize another woman as his mother. Why? 

If this isn’t selfishness, what is it? 

Jeslyn sighed and returned her mind to her phone only to see that she had dialed Vera’s number. She immediately tried to end the call but Vera had already answered. 

For some reason, she had started to see Vera as an eyesore and stopped talking to her, which was why the moment she heard that innocent voice, her face turned disgusted. 

“Rossa, I’m so pleased to finally hear from you. You stopped calling and wouldn’t pick my calls or reply to my texts. Have I offended you? If I have, please forgive me, I’m sorry.” 

It took Jeslyn a few moments to adjust her mind before she responded with same tone of voice. 

“How can you say that? My days have been so hectic that I haven’t even heard from Maverick. I 

wanted to call him but decided to hear your sweet voice first. It adds sweetness to my day.” She rolled 

her eyes.
