Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

83 Back to square one

That was right. Maverick saw the way his parents lived. Thanks to them, lots of bad things happened to the family. He lost the dearest person in his life to domestic violence and a toxic relationship, so from then on, he made a vow to never allow his women to feel injustice. Even if he doesn’t love them, provided he picked them out to be his women, they would enjoy all that a loved wife enjoys, unless his heart and body. 1

“Oh… then my luck is still intact…hehehe,” Jeslyn giggled like a child. How many men still respect their wives and treat them like they are treasures? Marrying a man like Maverick wasn’t a bad deal for her after all.

He has Valen, a great body, fantastic in bed, caring and loving, and has a cute brother, wealthy, powerful, and mysterious. What else would she need in a man if not all that?

Love doesn’t matter anymore, the idiot she loved played her like dirt, so it seems her luck in love wasn’t that great. Hmmm, she can fill out the love and replace it with the kindness her husband was showing her. Hehehe…

Done putting on the shirt, Maverick instantly regretted it. The shirt stopped right below her butt. A little bend over would leave all her treasures exposed for everyone to see, but he can’t tell her to change into something else, after all, he gave it to her.

Jeslyn looked sexy in the black oversized shirt. She left a few buttons at the top open and made the neck an off-shoulder, totally forgetting the hickeys on her, or probably she did it for some reason. Maverick’s eyes lingered on the hickeys he left on her before her happy voice pulled his mind from wandering.

“Perfect!” She smiled and raised her gaze to look at Maverick. “How do I look?”

With his right hand in his trousers pocket, he replied: “Your flight will be in three hours, you don’t have much time to waste.” 1

Jeslyn playfully rolled her eyes. Why did she expect him to say how she looked? Whatever. No matter what she wears, she’ll always be the beauty goddess of Rose City.
