Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

160 Revealed

After closing, Maverick came to pick up Jeslyn. Seeing who was in the driver’s seat, Jeslyn felt powerless.

“Plum, why is it you? Where is Yellow? And also, the rules stated that you can’t be here, right?”

He turned to look at Jeslyn who was trying to buckle her seat belt. He leaned closer to her, just a few inches away from their lips joining.

Jeslyn gasped at the closeness and Maverick curled his lips. “What do YOU say? Do you not want me here?”

Jeslyn blinked. Can she still say ‘No‘ when he’s obviously seducing her? He was supposed to be buckling her belt but why was he staring into her eyes and his hands…. What are they doing?! Jeslyn instantly looked down, his fingers were unbuttoning her shirt. She hurriedly slapped away his hand. She looked out the window in a panic, Trying to see if no one saw them.

Her behavior reminded Maverick of a thief looking out to see if he was caught.

Maverick chuckled richly, surprising Jeslyn who had never heard him laugh before.

“Do you laugh?” Jeslyn was genuinely surprised.

“I’m still human.” He replied and buckled her belt before driving off.

“I do forget you are, most times.”

“Hm??”

“You don’t behave like a human… By the way, that reminds me. Why did you allow me to stay for so long in jail? I thought you ran away.” She looked at him.

“The lawyer was busy courting death.” Maverick said unbothered.
