Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

349 A brother’s rage

Just as Jeslyn was about to get up from her chair, Rex immediately stopped her with panicking eyes, “Hey, Sister–in-law, where are you going? I did what you asked me-” 1

“Oh? What did I ask you? You haven’t done anything yet. Maverick patted Piper’s hair and spoke to Kimberly with a soft tone. When Kimberly was In a coma, Maverick went there to see her a few times… including-”

“What are you saying? I went to see them too. I visited Piper three times and Kimberly twic-” Rex froze when he realized what Jeslyn had made him do. Shit! He wanted them to believe he doesn’t like them so they could continue to believe vulnerably in front of him. But now…

“Brother, you- you…” Piper dashed out of her seat and ran up to Rex. Before he knew it, she dived into his arms and broke down in tears of joy.

At first, Rex froze when he had body contact with Piper. He slowly relaxed and returned the hug with a pat on her back to soothe her.

Seeing this, Jeslyn smiled. “Hai, I feel blessed to finally see this. You, Kimberly, aren’t you going to share a hug with your siblings?”

Kimberly smiled with her lips sealed. She also wanted to but doesn’t know how Rex would react to it.

Rex glanced at her and sighed. What is he to do? Was there a choice? So he beckoned for her to join the ‘hug of unity.’

Sometime later, Rex also joined them on the table, while Jeslyn left to prepare him something to eat.
