Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 28

28 Jeslyn’s dream goddess 

Jeslyn stirred awake and stretched while turning on her side. She furrowed her brows as she tapped the soft and fluffy thing she was sleeping on with her eyes still closed. 

“When did manufacturing companies make the car seats this fluffy and wide”? She thought. 

She slowly opened one eye and saw a white duvet covering her lower body. Her other eye flew open and she immediately sat up to glance around the place she was in. 

It was a big room painted nude with gold intricates. The two single chairs placed beside the gold curtains were also gold, and a floor-to-ceiling window separated the balcony from the room with a white long curtain. 

Jeslyn couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. She blinked and blinked again, still, the images didn’t disappear. 

She lowered her eyes to the bed. The large king-size bed with a gold headboard and gold frame was the most prettiest she had seen… and the beautiful chandelier that was lit above her head made her throat go dry. 

What about the floor? The fluffy cream foot rug placed under the bed that spread to cover a small space around the bed made Jeslyn forget to close her mouth. 

She had seen wealth and tasted it, after all she is the young Miss of the Lee and Chen family, but this luxury right in front of her was something she had only seen on TV. 

After admiring the room, Jeslyn went back to sleep. “That’s enough, we have seen too much luxury. Dream goddess, I want to wake up, take me back to the car.” 1 

Jeslyn closed her eyes while patting the bed with a small smile on her face. Even though she’ll be living in the slum from now on, she won’t be upset because she had dreamed of living in a room that her enemies cannot afford. That’s a great achievement and a good sign that she would be crushing them all. 

At the thought of that, she chuckled and opened her eyes, hoping to see herself in the car, but no, she still found herself in her ‘dream’. 

“Dream goddess, are you joking with me? Do you want to trap me in my dreams too? Is my life not hard enough already? Please take me back and I promise to not sleep in the car ever again. Besides, this might be my last time riding a beautiful car.” She joined her hands in a pleading gesture and stayed like that for a while, but still, nothing happened. 

“Ok, fine. It seems you want me to look around the house before you send me back. That’s so kind of you. How did you even know that I was longing to bid farewell to my room? Were you reading my mind?..” 

Jeslyn talked to the ‘dream goddess’ for a while before she got up and started to admire the things in the room. She wandered around until she found herself in the walk-in closet and almost fainted from shock. 

The white massive room was no different from a store in a luxurious mall. Everything a lady could ever want. From clothes to shoes, bags to hats, wigs to cosmetics, and even watches and rings which includes earrings, nose rings, finger rings, and so on. Goodness, the closet was a sight to behold! 

Jeslyn closed her parted lips and started walking from section to section in admiration. She could only look and didn’t touch anything. What if she touched and broke something out of shock and the ‘dream goddess’ wants her to pay, where would she get the 

money? 2 

What if the ‘dream goddess’ wants her to pay by staying here and doing the cleaning and maintenance, doesn’t that mean she would be seen as a dead person on earth and buried? 

“No, no, I haven’t made those people pay and that innocent man I married, I haven’t divorced him to set him free.” Thinking of that man, Jeslyn sighed.

She walked out of the closet and checked the bathroom. The bathroom was a little simpler with gold curtains above the bathtub, a white ceiling, a chandelier, a large mirror, and flower vases. 2 

She sighed and closed the door before heading out of the room. 

As she walked down the corridor, the feeling she got from the house was a weirdly quiet and super clean house. She couldn’t get the right feeling, but it somehow reminded her of that man she married… Weird! 1 

She walked down the fleet of twirling stairs and finally found herself standing in the sitting room. 

Jeslyn sighed again. Although there was nothing much in the sitting room. However, from the soft tone of the nude paint on the wall to the brown couches and brown rug with a center table on top of the rug, wow-ed Jeslyn so much that her mouth fell open. 

“Dream goddess, I have seen enough, please take me back.” She said and was about to head back to the room she came from when she heard… 

“Ahh!!… Who are… Jeslyn Lee?!” 

Jeslyn turned to look back and almost got the shock of her life. 

The specie in front of her was so handsome that she didn’t know that she was almost drooling. 

Call her whatever, but she got a soft spot for handsome men and that was why she could fall into the scheme they plotted for her, using Ray. 

If Ray was handsome, then this guy in front of her has no name to qualify him. 

“Y-you are fine,” she blurted without thinking. 

“Huh?” 

“I said you are beautiful.” She said again with dreamy eyes before she smiled. “The dream goddess knows what I love. She’s making me see them one after the other. If only I can touch him.” 

It’s a ‘dream, so of course, she can do anything which includes acting shamelessly. 

Rex blinked. He didn’t understand what she was saying, but one thing he desperately wanted to know was why the infamous D-list singer was in his home… no, his brother’s home. Unless… 

Rex gasped with widened eyes and mouth… Wholly lost, so much so that he didn’t see when she came to stand in front of him and hugged him. 

“Beautiful people should be hugged,” She said. 

Rex froze when their bodies came in contact… Those two peaches in front of her chest were soft 

and… 5 

“What is going on here?” 2
