298 Pink in danger
“Does it have something to do with your dreams about him?” Maverick asked. 1
dream. It
“Yes, also, on my way back from the company, I slept off in the van and saw him dying in my was too real. When I woke up, my heart was aching. I went to the hospital to see him and there I discovered he was sent in for surgery…he also needed blood.” She frowned.
“My blood turned out to be the same as his but you know, I can’t donate blood to anyone or allow any doctor to know what’s wrong with me, so I didn’t give my blood even though my heart was in pain.” her frown deepened.
“You don’t love him, do-”
Like a cat that got her tail stepped on, Jeslyn jolted and screamed, “Noooo!! What nonsense are you saying?!” She hit him and hissed. “How can you think like that?” She glared at him.
Maverick chuckled in amusement. Of course, he could tell his wife doesn’t love Brian but he only wanted to tease her. It’s been a long time since she last showed him this cute side.
“But you like him?” he asked with a smile.
“Yes, I like him… probably because I’m his fan or maybe because he takes care of me in the company?”
Jeslyn frowned in confusion. Nothing makes sense.
Her biggest bias is Celestine, still, she doesn’t like her like she likes Brian. But one thing is certain, she doesn’t love him like she loves her husband and son. But she feels uncomfortable when he’s
hurting.
“Is this feeling recent?” Maverick asked.
“No,” she shook her head.
“I used to watch his movies, listen to his songs, watch him on the runway but always avoided seeing him… like the time he brought his concert to Rose City. I didn’t attend because I was having stomach
cramps.”
“He hosted three concerts in Rose City, right?”
“Yes, he did but I didn’t feel the enthusiasm to go. I know I liked him but I wasn’t crazy about him… as for this feeling, I felt it when he fell from the stage one time. I even cried when he got hurt from shooting but that was it. It wasn’t this deep and I didn’t concern myself with it. I felt it was just a fan’s instinct.” She shifted into Maverick’s embrace to seek comfort in her man.
“Did you lose a brother?”
Jeslyn shook her head. “No, I was the only child,” she said.
“How about you go ask your father? He might know something you don’t. You are already suspecting everything you know anyway.” Maverick knew that his wife was doubting many things but he was not the right person to tell her what she wants to know about her family and her identity. Her mother should.
“Ah, Mr. Wales, he’s still existing? I thought he was dead.” She smiled evilly.
“Wife, that’s a villain’s thought,” Maverick chuckled.
“Thanks to you, Mr. Villain,” she tickled him.
Maverick laughed heartily while patting his wife’s hair.
“You aren’t going back today?” he asked after laughing.
“No, I miss my family.” she stared at her husband’s face and smiled.
While the couple was bounding under the sheets, Inspector Fin was having a hard time with his
woman.
Sitting on the dining table were Inspector Fin and Beverly.
One was eating while the other was staring speechlessly.
Beverly was eating in silence but Inspector Fin was staring at her in surprise. This is the first time she had made something only for herself. Inspector Fin doesn’t like to eat out because he is used to eating the delicious food that Beverly makes.
“You didn’t make something for me?” he asked. Inspector Fin refused to believe it. He had searched the whole kitchen but nothing was kept for him, so he wanted to ask. She might have kept it somewhere else.
“No, I didn’t,” she answered innocently.
“But why? I’m starving,” he frowned.
“Oh, I thought you must have eaten at your woman’s.”
Inspector Fin’s eyes widened in horror. “What are you talking about? When did I tell you I’ve started eating out?”
Beverly stopped eating and raised her head from her meal. “Mr. Fin, I’m not in the mood for whatever games you’re playing. We broke up, didn’t we? Please, let me leave my life in peace now. Thank you,” she took her plate of food and left the table, and went to her room.
“Beverly”
“Beverly?”
“Hold on, Bev-” he watched as she opened the guest room door and went in. Inspector Fin sighed and ruffled his hair in frustration.
He doesn’t know how to cook, which leaves him with the only option of eating snacks for the night.
Meanwhile, Beverly was resting behind the door as she bawled her eyes out. Every day it gets difficult and the distance between them gets lengthened.
