Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 241: He's Jealous!

Even White Tiger couldn't stand by anymore; it promptly spoke up to explain to its master.

"Madam, you've misunderstood the master. It was because the Star Thieves put up such fierce resistance that the allied forces from the other planets got scared and retreated, creating an opening that almost allowed the Star Thieves to escape. Given the critical situation, the encirclement was nearly broken, so the master alone blocked that gap!"

Alone, controlling Mecha Azure Dragon, he faced off against the tenacious Star Thieves with overwhelming firepower.

Su Wan's pupils contracted with shock!

The Commander Gu she knew wouldn't act so recklessly.

By himself against an entire massive starship?!

Gu Jue looked at his adorable wife's worried gaze, and his heart softened. He didn't want her to worry.

"It's all right now, everything is still under my control. Wanwan, were you trying to contact me for something?"
