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 56 Why Aren't You Replying to My Messages?

The awkward atmosphere spread throughout the kitchen, and everyone did not dare to breathe.

After all, no one could understand why the First Commander had suddenly appeared here!

Miss Luo, who usually feared nothing, was also hiding behind Su Wan at this time.

She tugged at the corner of Su Wan's clothes, gesturing for her to step forward.

Your man, you go break this awkward silence!

The other people also looked towards Su Wan, who, in fact, felt somewhat unnerved.

After all, she felt that Commander Gu seemed even more indifferent than usual?

As if someone had annoyed him?

But standing here in silence without speaking wasn't solving anything!

The food was getting cold!

Su Wan stepped forward, subconsciously saluted Gu Jue, and then saw that Gu Jue's brows seemed to furrow even more deeply.

People around: ...

"Commander, why have you come here?" Su Wan felt she was the bravest of the group.
