Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 335

335 Spotting the similarities 

The elegantly dressed man with well–combed hair from a while ago was seen a while later pounding Piper like his life depended on it. His hair looked like a bird’s nest from how Piper had been pulling them. 

The elegance could no longer be found in him. All that was visible was a hungry wolf moving his waist like there was no bone in it. 

Beads of sweat could be seen running on both of them but they didn’t give a damn about it. All that mattered was to satisfy the lust that ran between their legs. 

Meanwhile, Jeslyn was lying on her husband’s thigh by the pool, sunbathing when a car drove into the compound. It was a new car, they’d never seen such a car in their garage before. 

Maverick, who was reading a book, shifted his gaze to the car that was running towards them, then stopped a distance away. 

He returned his gaze to his book. If the person was suspicious, he wouldn’t have been dealt with by the gate. 

The doors of the car opened. The first to get down was a mesmerizing–looking Brian. The next person was Piper. 

Both of them held each other’s hands as they walked towards the couple sitting by the pool… no, one lying and the other sitting. 

“Big brother,” Piper called as she walked towards Maverick. 

Jeslyn sat up. She was wearing a bikini while Maverick had on black shorts that stopped at his knee. His chest was toned and smooth but his legs and hands were a bit hairy. Fine, clean, and sexy! 

Before Jeslyn could be fully sitting, Maverick pulled a blanket he folded beside him and covered Jeslyn’s body with it. 

Jeslyn chuckled before securing the blanket on her body. Her husband is so jealous and protective that he sent all the guards back and servant men away to their quarters before he allowed her to come out wearing a bikini. 

Even though they were alone, he still didn’t feel secure, so he brought along a cover in case. 

Maverick heard Piper’s call but didn’t respond. 

“Sister–in–law,” she smiled at Jeslyn with her lips sealed and head slightly bowed. 

“Hey. Piper, come have a seat.” She gestured to one of the lounges that were sitting beside Valen’s. 

“Ah, not that, Valen will blow a fuse if he sees a human on it.” 

Piper chuckled. “Right, he hates me too.” She said while taking another lounge chair. 

“Don’t say that, he’s your nephew. Jeslyn smiled. 

“I understand” Piper glanced at Maverick. 

The fanatic, or longing look that was always in her eyes when she looked at his pictures before was nowhere to be found. The look in her eyes, as she looked at her brother right now, was that of a sister begging to be accepted. 

Jeslyn sighed and glanced at her husband who was still reading. “Is it that interesting?” 

“Mn,” he responded without lifting his head. 

“Then it’s not,” Jeslyn pulled the book away from his hands, prompting him to look at her. “If it’s interesting like you claim, you wouldn’t have known whether I was talking to you or not… besides, I didn’t specify if I was referring to you. It could be Piper, or… hey, Brian!” 

Jeslyn bolted up with a sweet smile on her lips as she made her way to Brian who was standing beside Piper. 

Brian also smiled in response. “It’s been long since we last met. How have you been?” 

“You can see for yourself. You look good in that,” she complimented his purple suit and black undershirt. 

“It’s all thanks to Piper.” 

While the two were talking like long–time friends, Maverick’s eyes were on Brian. Nothing could be seen on his face but his silence meant something. 

“Brother,” Piper called him. “Can I talk to you?” This was not the question she wanted to ask but speaking with this brother of hers gives her serious anxiety. 

After a long while, he still wouldn’t talk to her or even look at her. His eyes were on his wife who was having a good time conversing with Brian. 

“She’s not interested in him. They have a good and innocent friendship.” Piper changed the topic. She felt the need to defend Brian and Jeslyn’s friendship because from the way Maverick had been staring at them, although he had no malicious look on his face, but with his notorious record, he might do something to Brian. 

Maverick finally shifted his gaze to look at his sister before parting his lips, “she is not tasteless.” 

Piper gasped. Tasteless?! How dare he call her man unworthy of Jeslyn? 

Without thinking, Piper retorted, “Then you’re tasteless.” 2 

Maverick’s right brow slowly lifted on its own in wait for her to say more. 

“Brian and Jeslyn have a lot of things in common. Their fashion sense is the same, just that Brian is a man. When we were young, he used to urge me to dress the way Jeslyn is dressing… That was before they even knew each other. 

“When he goes on an interview and is asked to talk about female dresses, he describes what he considers to be the most gorgeous dresses and that’s exactly how Jeslyn dresses. 

“His favorite food is what Jeslyn loves eating. 

“He doesn’t have a favorite color but likes nudes and soft–toned colors. Also, don’t you see that they look similar in their mannerism? The difference is that Brian is quite strict and isn’t as playful as Jeslyn. 

“Jeslyn is cute and innocent, but Brian is wild and unruly. Jeslyn is witty and cunning, but Brian is outspoken and violent. 

“You see, they are the same people with opposite personalities. But guarantee you, if Brian was a lady. he would be exactly like Jeslyn, and vice versa.” 

Maverick didn’t blink as he listened to his sister speak in front of him. For the first time, she didn’t act pretentiously or pitifully. She was even bold to raise her voice at him, something she had never done before. Interesting. 

Meanwhile, she didn’t lie. The reason he was staring at them both for so long was that he spotted their similar behavior as they talked. Their eyes were the same and the happiness in them as they laughed was genuine. To him, it felt like they were… siblings? No, that’s too far–fetched.
