Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 150

150 Pet a lady 

At first, Maverick didn’t intend to stimulate her. His intention was to try to talk things out with her and if she was still not giving him a chance, he would bring her to the island but after seeing her with that guy at the karaoke, he lost his cool.

Maverick couldn’t risk the idea of having Jeslyn stay mad at him anymore, so he went to the extreme length of using the unfinished visual stimulation on her. 

Moreover, he was reluctant to use it, afraid that something might go wrong and she might get stuck. But good thing she was fine. He tightened his hold on her as the kiss deepened. 

Jeslyn knew that she couldn’t be angry at this man. Against this man, her strong will and self–control were nothing. ‘He is handsome, fierce, classy, smart, and good in almost everything- including behind the doors. 

Just why should she leave this man alone? Never… unless there’s another baby from Vera. 7 

They broke the kiss and Maverick’s hungry eyes trailed down to her chest before he raised his gaze to 

look at her flushed face. 

“Rossa, have you forgiven me?” 

Jeslyn wrapped her hands around his waist and placed the side of her head on his chest. Since he was tall anyway, that was where her height stopped without heels. 

“Mistakes happen. The most important thing is that you never intended to hurt me. There’s no denying it that you subconsciously cheated, however, you gave me the respect I deserved and also showed remorse even though your lips haven’t parted to apologize.” 

Jeslyn was indirectly asking him to apologize with his mouth. How refreshing would it be to hear the almighty Maverick apologize? 

“Rossa, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” 2 

His voice was calm, so calm that Jeslyn almost cried. Her Maverick had suffered, ah. 

She hugged him again while saying, “what took you so long to look for me, I almost died missing you.” 

Maverick smiled and carried her bridal style, not before discreetly untying her towel. 

Jeslyn looked at her naked body in his arms and blushed. 

She cleared her throat; “You can’t blame me for wearing little. You removed my clothes last night and they are…” 

“I didn’t… You did,” he denied it. 

“Wh–what? You are lying.” 

“Don’t drink anymore,” he stated. 

“Whose fault was it?” She rolled her eyes. 

“My fault…” 

Maverick placed a hand on the white wall and a slit appeared in the middle. The slit parted the white

wall to reveal a medium–sized room. The room was fairly lit- Not bright and not dim either. 

He gently placed her on the bed and started to unbutton his shirt, however, Jeslyn moved to him while kneeling on the bed and took the job from him. 

“When did you arrive in Country Y?” Jeslyn asked as she unbuckled his black belt, 

“Yesterday” 

“I know… I mean, I wasn’t informed.” 

“No one knew.” 

“But why did you come? I told you not to. Good thing it’s the weekend.” 

“You ignored Valen.” 

“I didn’t ignore the message. It was because you lied.” She pulled out his tucked–in shirt and started to 

unbutton it. 

Maverick had told her that Valen was awake. She was very excited and was about to run over but decided to confirm, so she called Vera who told her that the child won’t be waking up anytime soon. Thinking about it, she gently slapped his bare chest. “Liar,” she said in annoyance. 

“Am I?” Maverick took a step closer to the bed, catching Jeslyn off guard and she fell back. 

Maverick took his shirt off and got in bed with Jeslyn trapped in between his legs. 

Jeslyn nodded… “You are a bad man for using Valen.” She wanted to slap his chest again but he grabbed her hand and slowly guided it to his waist belt. 

“How about you use the strength to set it free?” 

Jeslyn blushed and lowered her eyes to his belt. He wanted her to bring his brotherhood out? Such a bad man! Still, she did it. She started to slowly take out the belt while her gaze stared into his eyes, imagining his expression when he was with Vera. 

Jeslyn didn’t want to entertain those thoughts but she couldn’t help it as they engulf her with every action she takes. She just couldn’t help comparing herself to Vera. 

“Didn’t you smile for her? Why aren’t you smiling for me?” 

Maverick leaned forward making Jeslyn lean back. 

“Don’t compare…” 

“Why?… Because she’s better?” Although she knew she was being childish right now, her heart was still aggrieved, but she still wanted to hear him say Vera was no good. 

“You want to know who is better?” His face drew closer to hers, his nose was brushing against hers. “Too difficult to answer?” She drew out the belt and opened the zipper while still looking into his charming eyes. 

“Mn… because I wasn’t aware when it happened…” he kissed her lips. 

Jeslyn didn’t want to react. Her lips were sealed as she glared at his face. What does he mean by that? How is such a thing possible? The deed was done in Vera’s room, so how can he explain that?

Maverick broke the kiss and searched her eyes. There was pain even though her hand was on his exposed brotherhood.
