Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 494

494 Graduation Ceremony (1) Three years later...

"Papa!"

A three years old baby girl with her hair neatly combed into two ponytails, could be seen trotting down the corridor of a high school. She wore a pink knee-length gown and held a pink teddy bear. Everything about her, from the pins on her hair, to her earrings, bracelet, and even her teddy smelt of wasted luxury.

As she trodden down the corridor, she had an anxious look on her adorable round face that looked identical to Jeslyn's. Behind her was Yellow and a few other guards who gave the little one a breathing space- not walking directly behind her. "Papa!"

She continued to call with a smile as she made her way forward with a destination in mind... The hall!

People going up and down the hall couldn't help marvelling at the baby's cuteness. Oh, how can the Lu family alone be blessed with such children? As if Valen, is not already killing parents and peers with envy and jealousy; this cute baby was thrown into the mix... Jeslyn and her husband are so lucky!

Those were the people's anthem all over Country M.

Yes, the whole Country knows about Kaylus right from when she was in the cradle. She wasn't known because of her parent's status in the society, but because of her bizarre actions.

Standing by the entrance to the hall, the child's face fell as she looked at the crowd of students and parents sitting inside the hall, or preparing to take their seats.

The child zoomed in on everyone, not seeing who she was looking for, her cute lips slowly turned downward, ready to wail.

The child didn't even care if she was the center of attention. She was ready to become a laughing stock if the person she wanted to see was not brought to her. "Kaylus? What are you doing here?"

Rex left his seat and immediately hurried to the child who refused to move a step from the entrance.

"Uncle!" The child smiled and started walking towards him. But the next second, she missed her steps and was about to fall when Yellow immediately grabbed her pink gown from behind and pulled her back up.

"Careful!" a lot of people screamed in panic.

The child beamed, "Thank you," and continued on her way until Rex got to her and carried her in his

arms.

He looked at Yellow and asked, "What are you doing here?" as if he had no idea what the matter was.

"Little Missy wanted to come," Yellow responded.

Rex sighed and shook his head. If he had known, he would have brought her along from the beginning. After all, it was Valen's graduation ceremony from high school.

Shocking right?

After what happened three years ago when Valen accepted the system, the child became a walking encyclopedia that his school felt that promoting him ahead of others was the best idea. However, even though he was teleported to high school, the child still proved to be a threat to his teachers and fellow students with the great amount of knowledge he has in his mind.

Valen is just ten years old but has already taken the national college entrance examination and he's awaiting the result.

His feat was so great that it shook the world at large.

Although today was a graduation ceremony for the high school students, the school was filled to the brim with públic figures, examination council board members, and university Principals from different states. It was already a shock to most people that such figures could leave their important matters to attend the ceremony. What no one expected was the appearance of the vice president and the Administrator Superintendent!

No one expected that the man who oversees every aspect of education in the Country would show up at an 'insignificant' graduation ceremony for minors. Although everyone knew why he was here, they were still shocked at his attendance.

With such great figures sitting on the stage, the audience tried as much as possible to be in their best. behaviour.

Kaylus was sitting on Celestine's thigh and was getting the attention of the other members and friends of the Lu family who were sitting at the front seats, but the little child was not happy.

Piper, who was sitting beside Celestine, smiled and said, "Little Princess, don't be sad. He'd be out in no time."

After everyone settled down, the graduates started to enter the hall. There was a row left for them, so they didn't have to be inconvenienced by the audience.

Valen immediately caught everyone's attention because he was the smallest child there.

"Papa!"

Kaylus cried out and immediately got down from Celestine's thigh. Celestine took hold of her and whispered,

"Princess, this is not the right time."

Kaylus turned to look at Celestine with her clear hazel round eyes. The next moment, her eyes started to water and her lips started to form a pout.

Everyone watching immediately knew she would start crying and it would be disastrous. Celestine didn't know what to do. Allow her to go, or leave the hall with her?

While she was contemplating, Valen left the line and marched to his family.

"Kaylus?"

The child whipped her head in his direction. With eyes brimming with tears, she called.

"Papa!"

Valen spread his arms, "come to papa."

Kaylus beamed and ran into Valen's arms. Valen carried her off the floor, making him receive a kiss on

his cheek.

"Papa, you're very handsome," she confessed.

"Let's go." Everyone in the hall watched as Valen carried the child to his seat and let her sit on his thigh.

Looking at the two, what came to mind was 'unfair'. It was unfair that the two were the most adorable kids they'd ever seen. Even though one didn't want to get jealous, they couldn't help it.

The ceremony started with an opening speech from the school principal, followed by other students' performances. After all the activities were over, it was finally time to award the graduates their high school diplomas.
