Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 371

371 New Discovery 

A few minutes later, Doc Matt was seen rushing towards Maverick’s mansion. Getting into the house, he hurried to Maverick’s room. 

He rang the doorbell a couple of times before banging on it with all his strength. He had called Maverick countless times but he wouldn’t pick up. 

“What the f*ck is he doing?!” He banged on the door repeatedly until it was opened. 

“What the fuc-” he held back his tongue when he saw Jeslyn under the black and white sheets. “Sorry for intruding,” he apologized to Jeslyn before going out. 

Maverick kissed Jeslyn on her sweaty forehead before getting out of bed while naked. “I won’t take long,” he promised before taking out a black cloak and grafting it over his shoulders. 

“Don’t go yet, let me wash you up.” Her voice came out like a whisper. 

Maverick didn’t argue and waited for her to get down from the bed. Walking behind her, he couldn’t help staring at her sexy and clean body. 

“Stop staring, you’ve eaten more than enough for today,” she said without looking back and pushed open the bathroom door. 

“There’s no crime in appreciating my wife, is there?” 

“That was what you said, then we ended under the sheets,” she grumbled. 

“Your fault,” he hugged her from behind as she was about to turn on the tap. 

“Stop blaming me, own up to your responsibility, Mr. Lu!” 

“I can’t when you keep showing me how pretty you are.” He kissed her neck and started to work his way around her body with his hands. 

Jeslyn smiled and shook her head, “Your friend needs you, you should go to him,” she turned around and took off his cloak. 

Maverick refused to do anything to help himself wash up, Seeing this, Jeslyn had no choice but to bathe her husband like she was bathing a child. 

Maverick, on the other hand, was all smiles as he complied to everything his wife was doing. Once she was done, she pointed at the door, “I want to bathe, go meet your friend.” 

“You don’t need it… but I’ll go,” he lowered his head and kissed her for a long time before he left unwillingly. 

Maverick entered his study room, feeling annoyed. 

“Do you have a death wish?” He glared coldly at Doc Matt. 

“It seems I came at the wrong time, but I’m not sorry,” Matt snorted. 

“What urgency brought you here without informing me first?” 

“Says who? I thought you were kidnapped when you stopped answering your calls.” Matt rolled his 

eyes. 

That was when it occurred to him that Jeslyn had put his phone on silent before they engared in love–making. 

“Ahem… Why are you here?” he cleared his throat, not feeling remorse for wrongfully accusing his friend. 

“Your wife…” 

Maverick fixed his unwavering stare at him. “What about her?” 

“Why did you give her a Rainborite ring?” 

“You finally had an idea after so long?” Maverick shook his head and took a seat. 

“How could you not tell me that for so long? Making me waste so much time in research and cure?” 

Maverick raised a brow with his legs crossed and hands folded on his chest. He refused to say a word. 

Matt sighed in resignation before asking, “Ever since you gave her the rainborite stone ring, has she had any meaningful incident?” 

Maverick shook his head. 

“What about bedroom matters, has she shown any sign of convulsion after that last time?” 

“No, she didn’t.” 

“How hard do you go on her?” 

“Harder than I’ve ever had.” 

“You mean, just now?” 

Maverick nodded. 

Doc Matt glared at him, “beast!” He said under his breath before continuing. “I seem to have made a discovery.” 

“What did you find?” Matt’s words piqued Maverick’s interest and he gave him his full attention. “You made the rainborite stone into a ring for your wife because you suspected it could help her 

illness?” 

“Mn,” he replied. 

“And you didn’t think it was necessary to tell me, her doctor?” Matt frowned, 

“It wasn’t certain.” 

“It wasn’t but it could have helped me a lot in my research!” Matt repeated. He couldn’t resign to the fact that Maverick was ahead of him in his own profession. 

“Are you blaming me for your incompetency? Didn’t you read the book like I did?” Maverick raised a brow in a mocking matter. 

Matt pointed a finger, “Y–you, you-” he sighed and shook his head, “Forget it, forget it, there’s no point arguing with you. So, tell me what you found after watching her. Let me know if it goes well with my discovery” 

“Nothing” 

“Ha! You’re so irresponsible!” Matt didn’t know how to let out his annoyance, this idiot! 

“Before I talk to you any further, get your wife ready for testing. I can’t make claims without proof!” He left and went to the lab.
