Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 177

177 Pay me

“Not funny,” he said. 1

Jeslyn nodded before she smiled. “Yes, your highness. Hahahaha… the look on your face makes me want to cheat.” She beamed.

Maverick ignored her and picked a slice of fish. Jeslyn opened her mouth but instead of feeding her like he had been doing, he ate it instead. She thought it would only happen once, however, she watched as he slowly ate the fish a few more times without giving her any

“Ah, don’t be like that, I was just kidding.” She bemoaned. “Sorry, I want fish.”

Maverick smiled before feeding her.

“I hope the operation is successful… Ah, Vera still doesn’t know that Valen is awake. Don’t you want to tell her?”

“Your choice.”

“Nah, I don’t want to. She’s galavanting around, thinking only her unborn child can save Valen. I want to watch the drama she’s about to create in this house. Please, play along”

She hurriedly held his hand and blinked her puppy eyes. She knew that if Vera irritates Maverick too much, he might send her away.

Maverick looked down at the hands that were holding him and a light flickered through his eyes. “Pay

me.”

“I have no money, ah.” Jeslyn has a bottomless hole in the form of a black card in her possession, yet she said she was poor.

Why would she spend from that account? It’s her bride price! It’s not right to give her bride price to her husband, is it?

“I’m rich.” He replied.

“I know… What else should I pay you with?”

His

eyes trailed her almost naked body. Jeslyn’s hands flew to her chest and covered it. She also closed her legs simultaneously. “No, Mr. Maverick.” They just had s3x just now. Her legs were still shaking.

Maverick shook his head. This woman. “Blowjob…”

Jeslyn slowly let go of her chest and released her legs. She chuckled embarrassingly while nodding. “Ok”

Foreplay…

23

Jeslyn’s mind left her instantly. Blowjob and foreplay… Every day, does that not mean everyday #3x!!}

It’s definitely going to end up with both of them tangled up in the sheets, wouldn’t it?

“Plum…”

“That’s my only payment. I didn’t ask for too much.” His eyes smiled as he looked at her.

Didn’t ask for too much?! Who likes staying in bed for extra thirsty minutes after s3x because they feel dead tired? Her legs vibrate and her honey pot tingles after his monster is done with her. Who likes that? Sometimes she falls right back to sleep, thanks to this man. Also, did he not hear that she cannot engage in that stressful activity? 2

“Ahem… Plum, doctor Matt said-”

“Not today.”

“I’ll be tired after the operation tomor-”

“Not this week.”

Jeslyn sighed. “Fine, but I also have a condition.” Seeing Maverick raise a brow, she smiled mischievously. She leaned toward his ear and whispered, “can I be the male… like, raising your legs?“/5

Maverick’s eyes sharpened and he looked at her incredulously. “naughty”

“Hehehe… for the sake of fairness and adventure.” She beamed.

Maverick shook his head feeling speechless. “Eat up, it’s getting cold.”

Jeslyn pouted knowing that was a rejection. Yeah, what man would allow his legs to be raised? Trying to picture Maverick doing it, Jeslyn shook the image off her mind. His image will surely crumble if that happens. 1

The next day…

Jeslyn and Maverick went to the lab for the operation. Entering the lab, Jeslyn was shocked to see Celestine sitting beside Rex who wouldn’t stop rolling her hair on his index finger even though she was trying to stop him.

“Hi Jeslyn, Celestine smiled.

“Teacher? What are you doing here?” Jeslyn asked with a little frown.

Celestine looked helplessly towards Rex. The idiot forced her here.

“Hey, sister–in–law, didn’t I tell you I’m her biggest fan?”

Jeslyn slowly nodded while looking at the tiny space in between them and also the long hair Rex was holding onto.

Indeed, fans and celebrities are supposed to be this close.

It was obvious Jeslyn didn’t buy that, so Rex let go of Celestine’s hair and smiled. “Thanks to you, my dream came true. We are-”

“Rex!” Celestine butted in, stopping Rex in the nick of time. Didn’t he promise to not reveal their

relationship status?

“We are friends.” Maverick intervened.

Jeslyn’s frown deepened. Did it mean that everything, from the signing to her training was Maverick’s doing? She turned to look at Maverick, although she already suspected, she still wanted to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

“I didn’t sign up for your classes, you did. He immediately defended himself with a straight face.

“But

you told her to start a music lesson for my sake.”

“I didn’t force her. She needed the money.

“??”

The three of them were speechless at Maverick’s weak excuse. Why would Celestine, an icon in the music industry, need such a penny?

That’s not the issue. All these while, she thought she got in with her own credibility but in actual facts, it was because of Maverick. Didn’t he say he doesn’t give backdoors? What was this?

Jeslyn got upset but before she could walk out on them and head to Matt’s office, Celestine intervened.

“You didn’t get selected because of Maverick. I already had the idea of training three people just like my teacher did and I even told May about it, so when he asked me if I was still going to do it, I agreed. He didn’t tell me about you either. The choosing process was done randomly by my Assistant. It was purely a coincidence that you got selected. Although, May messaged me but it was already after the selection.”

“Is she here? Come in, the operation will be starting now.” Matt spoke through a side door.

Just as she was about to walk past Maverick, he pulled her back and kissed her. “I’ll wait here for you.”

Jeslyn smiled. “Ok,” she hugged him one last time before leaving.

“Is she not angry?” Celestine asked in bewilderment.

“No, she’s reasonable and not senselessly prideful, Rex replied while sniffing Celestine’s hair.
