Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

157 Plans Changed

The next morning, Jeslyn woke up feeling somewhat. Throughout their preparation to return to the city, she didn’t say much. However, before taking the yacht to leave the island, she said;

“Maverick, I want to return to Country Y. I’ll join you in Country M in three days.”

She was supposed to go with Maverick to see Valen, but now she was changing her mind. It was weird, so Maverick asked.

“Why?”

“I’m not healthy,” she replied.

“What’s wrong?” He placed a palm on her forehead. She wasn’t burning up.

Jeslyn brushed his hand off. “My period will be here probably tomorrow,” she replied, a little irritated. “Oh,” Maverick nodded slowly. That must have been the reason she didn’t want him to come inside her last night.

“Does it hurt?”

Jeslyn shook her head. “It has gotten better over the years. Just some discomfort,” she replied.

It hurts though. The cramps are over the top on the first day. But after taking warm water and paracetamol, it gets better and she falls asleep, so she no longer considers it a thing to worry about.

Just the thought of always getting wet and having to see that red liquid while changing pads or whatever products she decides to use gets her really annoyed.

That’s the side of her she doesn’t want Maverick to see. Her period makes her super sensitive, angry, moody, irritated, just name all the emotions…also, she tends to eat a lot too.

Maverick gave a slight nod to indicate he understood.

But does he?

Getting to the shore in Country Y, a black car was already waiting for them. Maverick helped Jeslyn out of the Yacht and they headed to the car.

On their way, Jeslyn fell asleep with her head on Maverick’s thigh.
