Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 247

247 Teasing his wife 

Yellow stayed silent for a while before saying: “Jeslyn is beautiful. Half–heart organization have an obsession for beauty, I guess that’s why?” 1 

Pink shook her head. “It’s deeper than that.” She looked at Yellow, “Those people are doing something big and unholy. My daughter cannot be a part of that conspiracy.” 

“Is that why you are killing off the members you can?” 

“They need to find me and take me back. That way I can protect my daughter.” Pink said with a heavy 

tone. 

“No, Pink, that’s too dangerous. Why not get the master involved? Your daughter is his most beloved wife.” 

“He’s battling with the Dark Age at the moment. He’s been trying to find their location for years, which was one of the reasons he keeps provoking them so they’d call for him. I’m sure he found something again this time.” 

“Right, it was he who sent me your address. He said there’s a mission for the girls.” 

“I’ll see him tomorrow. By the way, don’t tell Jeslyn you saw me. I told her I traveled… how is she?” “She seems to be fine, except she’s causing trouble for her enemies.” 

“How so?” 

Yellow smiled, “Little bunny has been provoking a wave recently. The entertainment industry has been a little too quiet lately and Rex is not liking it.” 

“How is Rex involved?” 

“As you know, he’s the owner of Fearless Entertainment. He has been creating trouble for Jeslyn rather than making her life easier. Some days ago, he fired one of the higher–ups and she died in a planned accident. Now, those who loved the woman are giving Jeslyn a hard time. With the way things are heading, there’ll be too much drama soon.” 

Pink sighed and shook her head. “Rex is a headache, I hope he doesn’t get my daughter killed.” 

“Haha… Pink, that bastard Chen guy cannot be her father, right?” Yellow stared hard at her. 

Pink clenched the glass cup in her hand and hardened her jaw before swallowing hard. A long and deafening silence filled the room and the atmosphere started to get awkward. Still, Yellow was patient as she waited for an answer. 

“No,” she finally answered and downed her glass of alcohol all at once. She didn’t want to remember 

that man. 

“I thought as much.” Yellow relaxed. She saw that Pink was not comfortable talking about Jeslyn’s father, so she didn’t bother going further with her questions. 

To lighten the mood, Yellow dived into a completely different matter that solicited laughter from both girls. 

Meanwhile, Jeslyn had woken up after the hardcore exercise with her husband that almost knocked her out. Looking at the time on her phone, she realized it was noon. Her lips twitched as she stared long and hard at the man sleeping beside her. 

She promised to take Valen out but what is this? That child must have been raving mad by now. Hope he hadn’t turned the house upside down? 

As Jeslyn was having an inner thought, Maverick snaked his hand around and waist and pulled her closer to himself. “You should sleep,more, you are too tired for anything.” He said. 

“Whose fault is it?” 

“Mine,” he admitted. 

She sighed and placed her head in his bare chest while drawing circles on his toned chest. 

“Plum, Valen might be upset again. I promised to go on a date with him but this happened.” She sighed. 

“Date?” Maverick frowned. Why did it sound like she was going on a date with another man? On second thought, he asked: “have we gone on a date?” 

Jeslyn shook her head with a small smile. 

“Why Valen?” 

“Ah?… He’s my son, there’s nothing wrong with that, right? Besides, you haven’t gone on a date with him before… you are a bad dad.” 

“Mm… I also haven’t gone on a date with you before… you’re a bad wife.” 

Jeslyn gasped in amazement. “Mr. Lu, did you just say I’m a bad wife? Me?!” 

Maverick hid his smile and tried to maintain a straight face. “Mn… and also…” 

“My unromantic husband is telling me I’m a bad wife. Hah, some people in the world is blind now, ha!” Maverick blinked. “Unromantic?” 

“Are you?” She arched her brow in a challenging manner as her lips curled up in a victorious smile. 

Maverick turned on his side and pressed her down to the bed. 

“H–hey, Mr. Lu, d- don’t do that. You are cheating.” She panicked. 

“Am I?” His lips curved into a smirk. “I haven’t done anything, have 1?” He said while trailing a finger along her naked body.
