Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 354

354 Fight between father and son 

Madam Caroline stared wide–eyed at the TV channel that was announcing the ongoing events regarding Piper Kimberly. Rex, and Maverick 4 

Kill her but she would never believe that Rex and Maverick would ever recognize Piper How dare those children‘ 

Nonetheless, a smile crept into her lips. Now that they’ve recognized Piper it means they’ve accepted her 

However, who is Kimberly and when did she become Lu Ren’s sister? She picked up her phone and made a call 

“Find out who Kimberly Tu is and where she’s from” 

After the call, she picked up her bag and left the house 

In the car, her Chauffeur asked. “Ma am, where are we beading 

“To my son’s mansion” 

Meanwhile, Maverick and his son were holding a statedown contest in Maverick’s office 

After a while, Maverick broke the silence “What was that for 

“I spoke to my mom’s manager and forced her to allow my mom to spend some time with me Why would you get involved? If you wanted her so much what stopped you from doing what I did? 

“Was that why you ruined the picnic Maverick narrowed his eyes 

“I didn’t ruin it, you did 

“Oh?” Maverick folded his arms on his chest and leaned back to rest on his chair “Explain” 

Valen’s countenance changed and he sighed Dad vote bullying me too much Am I not your son or do you have another child outside he narrowed his eyes 

Sering Maverick didn’t respond nor was buying his schemes the child sighed again 

“You’ve made me old in just one year and six months If I’m not careful. I’ll grow gray hair before you” 

“Stop beating around. Explain” 

Fine, I’ve become a child who cannot voice his wants anymore I told Mom to go on a picnic with 

me and you ruined it” 

Maverick raised a brow, still not understanding where his son was going 

“Although I said I don’t want a female sibling. I never said I wanted to be an only child He pouted. obviously Iving 

The comer of Maverick’s lips curled up and his eyes beamed with smiles but didn’t say anything 

“Dad” Valen walked around the table and grabbed his thigh “Stop bullying me It’s not healthy for a child like me I grew up without love and care for 6 years Now that I only want some time with my 

mum, you keep getting in the way. It’s not fair. 

The smile disappeared from Maverick’s lips and his eyes changed. “You mean you don’t want me around my wife?” His voice deepened. 

“Ahm, I didn’t mean it that way but since you’re so generous, your son will be forever grateful,” He smiled with his eyes. 

He was the reason his mother is living with them and not going to work for a few days now. Ever since his mother returned, his father had been suppressing him and stealing her attention away, but not anymore. 

He’s also a man, just like his father. Just that he’s shorter than his father but as a man, size shouldn’t be a barrier. He thought. 

“How do you see Country Z’s boarding school? Do you want more time to do research?” Maverick asked with his brow raised. 

Valen swallowed. This was what he was scared of but he was ready for this bully. 

“Actually, I spoke to your wife before coming here, and here’s what she had to say.” Valen brought out his phone and played a voice record. 

“Mom, I’m not feeling well.” 

“What’s wrong my son!” 

“I feel so sad and uninterested in everything. I don’t sleep at night nor do I participate in school activities. Most of all, I’m not repulsed by the thought of death.” 

“Ah! What happened to you, my child?!” Jeslyn’s voice raised a tad higher, evident she panicked. 

“I don’t know but I spoke to Uncle Matt and he said it’s a symptom of loneliness.” 

“You mean you’re depressed? How is that possible?!” 

“Yes! That was the word Uncle Matt said. ‘Depressed. We talked about it and he said I should put you on the line.” 

Valen smiled faintly as he saw his father’s furrowed brows. The record stopped there, so he kept his phone away. “Long story short, Uncle Matt said that I need my mum’s love and attention. So Mom said I won’t be going away from her until I’m well… which includes sleeping on the same bed. So, Dad, I came to tell you that Mom will be sleeping in my room from now on.” 

Maverick ignored those words and dialed Doc Matt’s number. After a while of ringing, he said; “Did you run a test on Valen?” 

“No, why?” 

“Then, how did you come up with such a diagnosis?” 

“Oh, that, I asked him a few questions which he answered truthfully, so-” 

“You made a diagnosis with a seven years old’s words? Matt, you’re starting to display incompetency and-” 

“Hold it there! What nonsense are you spouting? You can kill me but don’t you
