Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

66 Barbing-hitting his soft spot

So let’s begin!”

Jeslyn started by blow-drying his damp hair before combing. She picked up the long lengthy hair carefully and braided it to give way for the sides.

After achieving that, Jeslyn picked up a small comb and combed down the short hair on the sides of his head while trimming off odd lengths.

Finally getting what she wanted with the sides, she applied hair gel to hold the sides down and blow-dried it a little.

Jeslyn loosened the braided hair and combed it before she started to trim off the tip. Her aim was for the length of the hair to rest on Valen’s brows rather than cover his eyes.

Once she was done, she applied cream on the long hair to give it a soft and shiny look before she combed the hair back to give a smooth comb-over look.

Thirty minutes later, Jeslyn was done.

“Ta-da!” She spread her arms and shifted to the side for Valen to see the outcome.

Valen looked at himself in the mirror and his eyes widened a little. His lips tugged into a faint smile but when he remembered Jeslyn was still there, he raised his gaze to look at her. 1

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Valen rolled his eyes.

“You ruined my hair, but I won’t hold you accountable, hmph!” He got up and was about to leave when the flabbergasted Jeslyn pulled him back. 1

“Young man, it’s either you appreciate me for using my skill on you or you sit back down and watch me barb ‘skin’ for you!”

Jeslyn sounded serious- almost angry. This ungrateful child was the first to taste her barbering skills and he dared to not be appreciative.

How dare he!
