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 88 He is the Love I Want

Su Wan smiled, "No, just a minor tweak."

Luo Manya looked around skeptically.

Although she had only been here once, she remembered it being as cold as a laboratory.

But now, the roses in the garden were fiery red and delicate.

The beige furniture looked so soft, and the artificial breeze brushed past the tasseled curtains, gently swaying them.

Ah, this finally feels like a home!

What was it before?

Luo Manya's fondness for Su Wan had skyrocketed, even surpassing her affection for her husband!

She was already a meticulous and gentle person, and the conversation that followed was very pleasant.

Just last night, Su Wan had made some pastries for Mr. Leng and Mr. G and had some leftover, which she now brought out.

She also had the household robot make some fruit tea and invited Luo Manya and her attendants to afternoon tea.

Everyone ate and chatted together.

Lin Ranyue was also there, occasionally offering some suggestions.
