Chapter 96

96 Brazen Jeslyn

“Find out where Damien was sent to.” 1

“Ahhhh!! Impossible! Brother, I refuse! I’m not going! Either you change my mission or you kill me-”

“Deal.”

“D-deal? What deal?” Rex stuttered,

Maverick curled his lips and said nothing. He was about to walk away when Rex stood in front of him and spread his hands. “If you don’t answer me, you are going no-”

Maverick stretched his hand and slapped Rex’s hand away before he walked past him.

Rex laughed mockingly at himself. Why did he mess with his wicked brother? If he truly didn’t carry out the mission, Maverick wouldn’t kill him, that’s for sure.

However, Maverick would instead give him a tougher mission. What if his brother asks him to go find out where those people’ hold their meeting?!

Thinking of that, Rex’s eyes sharpened and he immediately ran after Maverick’s silhouette while screaming. “I accept the mission!”

That evening, Jeslyn graced the kitchen to make something for everyone. She was told that Maverick and Rex came along with Valen but she hadn’t seen them because they left for some work.

A few days in…

When the going was sweet,

You get me in the mood.

Even though I was down…

Your love was addicting

Till I lost myself in your charming eyes…

Yeah… baby yeah…

The night is long and I need you

Yeah… baby yeah…

The night is cold and I want you.

A few years later

It’s the cold season

When I touch you

You point at the blanket

And tell me it’s enough

I got things to say

You tell me you’re busy

You’re hard to approach

But easy outside

Yeah… baby yeah…

The night is long and I need you

Yeah… baby yeah….

The night is cold and I want you.

Your phone kept ringing

The sound kills me at night

Just tell the bi tch it’s nighttime

And I’m beside you!

But then, you hit me….

You hit me…

Again and agaaaaain ch yeah eh eh eh eh….

Now, f*ck love, f*ck you

I don’t want you anymore… anymore… anymoo00000re….

F*ck love, f*ck you

I don’t want you anymore… anymore… anymo0o000ore…

Yeah… baby yeah…

The night is long but I don’t need you

Yeah… honey yeah….

The night is cold

but my blanket is enough..

Jeslyn felt something crawling on her stomach. She froze and before she could scream, her back hit a hard surface. Her nose picked the soft smell of musk, nature, and wood, a scent she was familiar with.

“F*ck!

She let out the words subconsciously. He scared the sh it out of her.

Turning around with a cooking spoon in hand, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and without him asking or making any attempt to do anything, she leaned in and kissed him. He didn’t respond to her kiss however, she didn’t feel awkward.

Even though his lips were sealed, Jeskyn continued to push her luck. She could feel his eyes boring ho les in her face, but she couldn’t care less.

With the tip of her tongue, she outlines the edges of his lips. She felt his lips move but didn’t open up. so she smiled. Getting a reaction meant she was doing good.

She pressed herself against his body and loosened her hands to place them on his waist, then forcefully pulled him closer, making him hit her with his front. There was no bulge, but it was fine. She wasn’t ready for bed activities anyway.

Maverick was speechless at his wife’s brazenness. He just came back and heard her singing. It was a song, ‘want me back’ by Celestine Xuan, a retired female singer in Country Y.

The song took the world by storm because it was the last song the world heard from one of their favorite singers before she abruptly, left the music industry and went into seclusion.

The reason Maverick stopped by was because of Jeslyn’s voice. However, standing by the door, he saw the oil accidentally slip from her hold. Although she caught it, a few drops touched the floor and she didn’t notice. While singing and moving to the rhyme of the song, she was stepping towards the oil on the floor which was why he went in to rescue her but instead she responded with a kiss. 1 Now, he was about to open his mo uth to speak, she slid her tongue into his mo uth. Did she miss him this much? It can’t be.

“What are you doing!”

Jeslyn pulled away from Maverick when she heard that cute voice that sounded annoyed. However, Maverick held her firmly to his chest and wouldn’t let her leave.

“Maverick, Valen is here,” Jeslyn whispered to him but the man only had a mocking smile on his lips. Jeslyn gave up and smiled before she turned to look at the door.

“Valen, I’m cooking.” She beamed.

Valen stared at her with disgust before he yelled: “Why are you singing like that?! Did nobody ever tell you, you sing like a cat?… No, not a cat, your singing is ho rrible!”

Jeslyn’s smile slid off and her lips fell open.

“Valen, you don’t say that to a lady,” Rex spoke from outside the door.

“If nobody tells her that, she’ll keep singing like that. It’s irritating. Go do something about your voice, tune, or whatever it is called, hmph!” He stomped his feet, turned around, and stormed off, fuming.

Rex walked to the door, hoping to apologize to Jeslyn but saw her in a suggestive position with Maverick who had his back to the door.

“Ahem…sorry for intruding. I’ll leave now.” Rex was about to leave when Jeslyn stopped him.

“What Valen said… was it true?”

Rex stayed silent for a while before he slowly nodded and hurried out. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

She stayed silent for a long time until she felt Maverick pinch her waist. She shifted her gaze from the door to the fridge and everything else except Maverick.

“Wh- what do you think about my-” she couldn’t finish the question and hoped he understood what she meant.
