149 Plans to kill her

"Ahhhh!!!!" 1

"Boom!"

Jeslyn choked and started to cough violently. She repeatedly waved away a large number of flowers she was lying on.

When she was falling up just now, she saw a big red... balloon... was it? Whatever.

The thing was red and very large. She fell on it and it exploded, sending lots of rose petals flying everywhere.

She looked above her head to see where she fell from and was so shocked that she let out an ear-piercing scream after she regained her senses.

"Maverick!!!!"

The room was dim but thanks to the light coming from the open she fell from, a part of the room was illuminated, which was how she saw the balloon and petals. "Click"

The light was put on and Jeslyn gasped at what she saw. The room was beyond beautiful! She couldn't describe what she was seeing. Never in her life had she seen a room this gorgeous!

The massive room was divided by two colors. One side was peach and white, the other side was light purple and white. It was not known if it was the lights producing the beautiful effect or if it was still another... wait! Illusion??

Because it's inconceivable that one room will appear to have the features of two rooms. How can the peach and white light coming from the right side stop in the middle of the bed and the other side having purple and white light meeting its counterpart on the same bed but didn't join? How is that possible? This was beyond scientific explanation!

She looked around, hoping to see Maverick because she heard a click just now before the light turned on. Although the room was too beautiful to be imagined, she was starting to grow restless without Maverick here.

"Maverick?"

This time, her tone was soft but instead of Maverick responding or showing himself, the illusion faded and the wall turned into a large screen. The screen was showing different pictures and videos of Valen. The child was either walking, sitting, or sleeping.

"Va-Valen?" Jeslyn furrowed her brows slightly as she started to get a weird feeling. Why would he start to show her Valen's images out of the blue when Valen is supposed to be at the hospital? Is anything the matter?

She slowly got out of bed while staring at the images. The screen changed from a boring Valen to a bubbling child who was running around with Jeslyn running after him while in a bikini.

There were cameras in Maverick's mansion, so the videos were easy to obtain.

Jeslyn watched the video without knowing how to react. On a normal day, she would have laughed hard but on this day, she was feeling bad energy from all these and it was eating deeper into her

heart.

She didn't realize she missed Valen this much.

"Valen," she whispered as tears slowly ran down her cheeks. When was the last time she spoke with Valen? One month? Two months?.... It's been close to four months already!

On the screen, a video with sound appeared and her voice was the first to be heard.

"Valen, put that down!"

"Why should I? Is it yours? Did you buy it? Is it your money? Why do you care if I take my dad's car keys, how does it affect you?"

"Rude children like you should be locked up in their room and watch them starve for a few days."

"Only a wicked stepmother like you would do such a thing"

"Of course, that's why it pleases me to see you doing stupid things. You want to ride the car? Go ahead, go on, and drive yourself into the pool. I guarantee you, no guard will come to your rescue, and guess what will happen after that? A new baby will be welcomed into the family... mine and your father's real child!"

"Then come and force me into the car!" Valen threw the key away and ran upstairs.

Jeslyn sighed and sat unceremoniously on the sofa. "Acting is so exhausting."

Jeslyn looked at herself on the screen and a bitter smile crept onto her lips. This is her family. Valen is her son! The one she single-handedly fashioned into a lovely child... Why should she send him back to another woman whom she doesn't know how she is? What if Vera is another Mulan?

"No! Valen is my child. I- I can't let him return to how he was before. Valen is my son. He called me mummy. He recognized me. He is my son!" Jeslyn broke down in tears. (1)

Thinking about it proved to be so painful that she felt her heart being torn apart. How can a stranger come from nowhere to take Valen and Maverick away from her? It's impossible. "I'm Valen's mother and Maverick's Rossa!" (1

The second she made that declaration, the illusion faded away and the room returned to the same

cabin.

Jeslyn blinked. She was still sitting on the same sofa and didn't go anywhere, so what happened? Looking around, she saw Maverick standing by the light switch. He was wearing his usual black clothes and was resting casually on the wall.

"What is going on?" Jeslyn asked in wonderment.

"You are sitting on a visual stimulation sofa," he answered.

"St-stimulation sofa? What's that?"

"This cabin is a Visual stimulation cabin..." he proceeded to walk towards her while explaining. "Visual stimulation makes you feel like you are inside another world... It's a new project that my company is working on. It's still under development and this cabin is the one I made myself."

Jeslyn blinked. Then blinked again, then she exploded. "... Are you serious right now?! You cheated on me and then locked me up in a stimulation house?! Maverick, did you intend to kill me so you can return to start a family with Vera?!"

"Mn"

"??"

Jeslyn stared at his blank face that was right in front of her. Wait a minute... "you have started to look more handsome, it's for Vera, isn't it?"

"Mn,"

"??"

"And you admit it again?!"

He nodded.

"Maverick you-"

He nodded before she could finish her words and then pulled her to his chest. "Kill you... with love." He sealed her lips with his.

At the time Jeslyn entered, Maverick was in one of the rooms that was sealed to the wall. She couldn't see it and the reason was that she didn't care to look properly.

He was watching from the minute she woke up to the time she criticized his apology and called it tacky. Maverick had never lowered his head nor apologized to anyone before in his entire life.

However, knowing he wronged his wife, he squeezed his brain juice for days and nights just for Jeslyn to forgive him and he and Rex finally came up with this idea.
