Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 176

176 What makes you furious? 

“Our marriage marks a year tomorrow. You’ve been using a borrowed ring, so…” He took her hand and pulled out the ring on it before replacing it with an ultra slim glittering gold ring with a small pink 

colored stone. 1 

The ring was so beautiful on Jeslyn’s finger that it felt like she was born with it. 

She gasped at the stunningness of the ring and her lips broke into a winsome smile. The ring almost blended with her skin, still, it was simply an allure- the most gorgeous ring she had ever seen. 

It might be slim, but it didn’t look less expensive. It was classy, flamboyant, and screams of money! She admired the ring with so much love that Maverick’s lips stretched into a smile. 

“Glad you like it,” he said. 

“It’s so beautiful!” Jeslyn purred. 

“Where is yours?” She asked him. The only time she had ever seen a ring on his finger was on the altar after she put it on him. 

Maverick stretched the box to her and she took out the normal–sized ring for a man and placed it on his finger. 

He got her such a tiny ring so it would go unnoticed on her finger. She’s a celebrity and her marriage is ‘supposed to be hidden at the moment. 

Jeslyn stood on tiptoes and kissed him. “Thank you, Plum.” She whispered. 

“No, thank you.” He said and carried her up, prompting her to wrap her legs around his waist as they kissed like the world was ending. 

Valen’s bone marrow transplant was scheduled for the next day, so Jeslyn was instructed to not tire herself out in preparation for the transplant because she would eventually get tired after her bone marrow was taken, thus, Maverick refrained from going overboard with his kisses and touches. 

He broke the kiss after a while and asked; “when do you want us to go out?” 

“N- ahem!” She coughed to clear her throat. “Not right now. I only asked about it to….” She smiled. She did that to rile Vera up. She wasn’t intending to go out for fun with Valen still in that condition. 

Maverick shook his head. His wife is petty. 

“Your father has been trying to get in contact with you for a while now. Do you want to speak with him? I can=” 

“No!” Jeslyn didn’t let him finish. She shook her head, “I don’t want to see anyone who isn’t Emma or Ava. Those girls are the only true friends I have in Country A and I owe them a debt of gratitude for being sincere towards me.” 

“Mn…” Maverick hummed before telling her the result of his investigation. “Your sister lip sync. The voice and music she sings aren’t hers.” 

“What?!” 

Jeslyn had asked him to help her investigate Christine and her career. Now that she found out Christine had been cheating, she didn’t know how to respond to the news. 

“She lip sync.” 

“That’s insane! How come nobody knows?” She frowned. 

Maverick pulled Jeslyn to the chair so she could eat. 

“She’s smart.” He said. 

“That vixen. I’m sure she’s getting help from that sister of hers… By the way, Plum, do you know about that Emilee girl?” She queried. 

“Mn. She’s Damien’s pet.” 

“Who is Damien- wait.Damien Yu?!” 

Maverick nodded. 

Jeslyn’s lips fell apart. Her brows furrowed deeply. Why would Emilee work for Damien Yu… No, how did she get connected to Damien Yu? “When did she get here?” She asked. 

“Il years ago. She was 18.” He replied. 

“What do you know about her? Please tell me everything.” She asked before opening her mouth to accept the food he was offering her. 

“She has a criminal record in Rose City. Entered the Country through illegal means. Started from an irrelevant gang. She stayed in the gang for a few weeks and became the leader after killing the boss. She went to a club 7 years ago where she met Damien. She seduced him and successfully became his tranquilizer.” 

“Tranquilizer?” 

“Mn. Damien needs a human tranquilizer when he’s angry. It calms him down… Through s3x.” 

“Oh, I understand.” She peered at him from the corner of her eyes and asked; “do you get angry? What do you do to calm yourself down?”
