Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 94

94 Finding the truth.

Jeslyn immediately let go of Pink's hand like she was holding a hot potato. "Wh- who are you?!" She turned fierce like she had seen an enemy. 1

Pink put down her sleeve and sighed. She rested her head on the car seat and slowly closed her "Alice, you did it till the end. She mumbled.

eyes.

"Y-you know my mother?" It was a rhetorical question. She had doubts about Pink's behavior for the longest time but couldn't prove it.

The way Pink treats her like her child right from prison, what Yellow was saying to her the other day in her room that Pink didn't finish, how Pink protects her like a mother hen, the CCTV footage that captured Pink looking at her mother's picture frame at the glass house. Amidst other little signs she had been "ignoring, told her Pink was related to her and she was bound to find out today, whether she liked it or not. "Jeslyn, child..." Pink turned her eyes to the driver's seat. "Find us a club." She commanded Blue.

"Yes, boss!"

"A club?? Why!?" Jeslyn grew alarmed. For some reason, she detested clubs and party houses. That feeling started after she woke up from a coma.

"You want to know the truth, right? I'll tell you everything, but only at a club."

"But why a club?"

"I need some drinks."

Jeslyn sighed in relief and relaxed. Although her mother told her to stay away from the people with half-heart tattoos, she was sure Pink wasn't that person. Even though Pink was dangerous, she won't stay away from her because she was sure Pink cannot harm her.

The car stopped at a lavishly decorated restaurant. They got down from the car and headed inside. Jeslyn was a little perplexed. Didn't Pink say club? When did a restaurant become a club? Blue walked to a waiter and said some words to him. The waiter nodded and walked away. A while later, another waiter arrived and led them into a room.

The room was like every other classy private room, but this one was a little dark. Just when Jeslyn thought that Pink must have changed her mind and decided to use a restaurant instead, the table split in two and the ground below it slowly cracked open.

Jeslyn was flabbergasted as she stared at the wonders in front of her. She forgot to look at Pink who was looking at her.

"Go in, you'll find the answers you seek."

Jeslyn heard those words which pulled her mind back. Her state of mind as she stared at Pink was chaotic. Go in?... where? That dark ho le with blue lights coming from it?

"P-pink?" Jeslyn's lips shook as fear gripped her heart. Pink, Blue, and the waiter were smiling at her. To Jeslyn, it was a creepy smile. The atmosphere didn't require such a sweet smile.

"Pink wh- ahhhh!" Jeslyn felt her body falling down the dark ho le after Pink pushed her in.

"Ahh....!" She jerked up and her eyes snapped open. She realized she was on her bed, in her room. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she wiped them off with the back of her hand. It was a nightmare, but when did she get here?

Just then, the door was pushed open and Pink walked in carrying a tray with covered dishes.

"You are finally awake. You got me worried si ck."

Jeslyn didn't respond. Her eyes followed Pink everywhere she went.

Little bunny, are you listening?"

"H-huh? Saying something?" Jeslyn asked, a little flattered.

Pink sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. "What are you thinking again?"

"Again?"

"Yes. You fainted after ordering Blue to drive the car home."

"Fa- fainted?" Jeslyn couldn't believe it. How could she faint out of the blue? She wasn't si ck and her body was in perfect shape and also, her nightmare was super real!

"Hmm."

"H-how? I was fine in the car just now."

"You were fine but your emotions overwhelmed your body after seeing the state your grandfather's company was in."

Jeslyn blink. "Y-you mean, you mean we didn't go to a restaurant?"

"What restaurant?" Pink furrowed her brows. She raised her hands and touched Jeslyn's forehead. It was warm. She sighed in relief and placed the food she brought on Jeslyn's lap. "You haven't eaten in two days. Boss said you should drink some soup."

Jeslyn's eyes widened in astonishment. "T- two days?!!!!!" She screamed.

"Don't make me go deaf. I'll spank you." Pink flicked her forehead. The piercing scream was unexpected.

Jeslyn rubbed her forehead while waiting for a reply. She couldn't believe she was sleeping... no, fainted for two days.

Like Pink read her mind, she replied: "You fainted for two days. I had to call Boss to send doctor Matt over because you were burning all over. However..."

"Why do you want to scream the house down?"

Jeslyn immediately whipped her head towards the direction of the cute voice. Right on time, Valen walked in with one hand in his trousers pocket and the other hand hiding behind his back. His face was cutely cold as usual, and his long hair was combed to the side, covering one eye.

"Valen?" Jeslyn mumbled in doubt.

"Are you still practicing how to call my name?" The child asked in disdain.

A smile crept onto Jeslyn's lips and she hurriedly took the tray off her lap and quickly got down from the bed.

Pink instinctively stretched her hand out, thinking Jeslyn would fall due to how hasty she was. “Care...

"Careful!" Valen rushed to the bed and held on to Jeslyn whose left leg was tangled in the sheet. With his 'support', Jeslyn stabled herself and got down from the bed.

"It's really you, child," she pinched his fluffy checks gently before she pulled him into a tight hug. "I missed you so very much!" She said aloud.

Valen's hands were hanging in thin air. He wasn't sure what to do. He didn't know if he should protect the rose he was holding or return the hug "Well, I can do both, he thought and returned the hug while protecting the flower behind her back
