164 Remorse
“What do you think? You went for Vera again and again because she was better and sweeter than me. You couldn’t let how she tasted off your mind… unfortunately, I have also forgotten how you taste, so I would go for a one–night stand with a great guy I won’t ever be able to stop thinking about.” 1
“It was once,” he said through gritted teeth.
“Oh, oh? Just once and you got her pregnant. Mr. Maverick Lu, why haven’t I gotten pregnant? Answer Why? We’ve done it a couple of times with you coming inside of me each time. Yet, I’m not pregnant! However, your delight got pregnant with an ‘unintentional‘ one–time s3x but I couldn’t with countless intentional–times. Mr. Lu, are you telling me I’m baren? You’ve shown me how much I mean to you and I’m tired of being the ‘other woman. Your intention was made clear when you visited her again and got her pregnant. Please, just go to her and leave me alone!”
“??” Why is she so unreasonable?
“See, you can’t answer it because you knew what you did!!” she screamed in anger. Why would he keep her quiet?
“??…you didn’t ask me a question.”
“Oh, ho! Lie to me, keep lying! I asked you why I’m not pregnant but she is!”
“Rossa, you didn’t want it. You aren’t ready for pregnancy.”
“Oh, so, was she ready? Was that why you impregnated her? Is it because you need children, so you felt the need to start getting other women pregnant?!”
“No… It wasn’t intentional.”
“And you want me to believe that?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Yes,” he said.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Maverick Lu, we are done!”
“You don’t want me anymore?” He raised a brow.
Jeslyn swallowed but answered without a doubt. “Yes. I don’t love you anymore.”
“You still do.”
“You are not-”
“I can prove it.” He shut her up. He didn’t want to hear her say that again.
“Prove wh-”
Maverick didn’t let her finish before he pulled her by the waist and lowered his head to her face. His mouth was just an inch away from her face.
The close proximity was making Jeslyn hot all over. Her lips were twitching in wait for a kiss that didn’t seem forthcoming. He was teasing her!
“Did you say you don’t love me anymore or you are angry because you are jealous?” His seductive voice sounded, coupled with his intoxicating fragrance. Jeslyn almost lost her senses to this devilish
man in front of her.
Her lashes trembled and her throat went dry. He was too handsome! Too good to be abandoned. But… she regained her senses and pushed him away. “Don’t talk to me. Just sign the divorce papers.” She just realized this man was seducing her just now.
“After you answer me truthfully.”
Hearing that he would sign the divorce papers after she answered him truthfully, she grew more vexed and yelled. “Yes! I’m jealous. I’m madly jealous, ok?! Happy? Are you happy that you are very manly and that you could ‘accidentally‘ get women pregnant so fast?! It’s not an achievement, so stop glowing! It’s annoying!” She slapped his chest in a fit of rage.
Maverick chuckled. She’s so cute when she’s angry. “It’s just a…”
“Paah,” a resounding slap echoed in the quiet passage.
Maverick was surprised and he involuntarily knitted his brows. He looked at the weak–looking girl in front of him but did nothing to her.
Jeslyn slapped him because she was really angry but he seem to be making mockery of her. However, she started to feel guilty after doing that and she lowered her head to look at her palm, blaming herself for not controlling her anger.
Seeing her like this, Maverick raised her jaw with his fingers and said; “You look sexy when angry. I’m not happy that I got someone else pregnant… However, I’m happy that you care enough to be jealous.” He tried to kiss her but she turned away.
“Is that what you want? Just for me to be jealous? Was that why you hid it from me and blocked all the means I could have found out? Why would you prevent me from knowing about it if you weren’t being dishonest?”
Maverick shut his eyes to calm himself down. He wasn’t mad at Jeslyn but himself. After opening his eyes, he asked; “do you not trust me?”
Jeslyn stayed silent and didn’t respond. Trust him? She trusted and forgave him the first time. But then he did it again and she got pregnant. Vera said he slept with her twice and Maverick is saying
once.
“How many times did you sleep with her?” She asked again for confirmation.
Maverick placed a hand on the side of her face and replied; “If I truly did, then it’s once.”
Jeslyn glared at him and slapped his hand away. “Don’t deny it now. Answer me honestly!” She snapped.
“Fine, once.”
“Then why did she say it was twice?” She gave Maverick an intense look, still he didn’t cower nor show any sign of discomfort.
“Reason you shouldn’t trust her words over mine.”
Jeslyn flattened her lips while thinking. That was right. Why did she even think that Vera would tell her the truth in the first place? Why did she believe that vixen over her husband? Why did she also her husband because of that witch whom she knew was still in love with her Sugar plum?
Jeslyn looked up at her husband who had his lips flattened into a thin line. Although his face was void of expression, the vein on his forehead was popping out. She looked down at his hands and saw that one was balled in tight fist and the other was hidden behind his back.
“Plum?” Jeslyn looked up at him again with watery eyes. “I’m sorry,” she hugged his waist. “I’m very sorry for doubting you.”
Maverick sighed in relief and wrapped his left hand around her while the right hand that was still dripping blood was left to drop to the side.
“I’m not mad at you. You are right to be angry. I made a mistake and I deserved the slap.”
If others heard that Maverick was slapped by a living being and was still alive, then, they would probably battle for who would take Jeslyn in.
