Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 384

384 Paying his debt.

After the charity event, Jeslyn left to replace her husband's car waiting for her at the parking lot. Full of happiness, she ditched her friends and hurried to him. Before she could get closer, Code 5 got out and opened the car door for her. (

"Code 5?" She was stunned when she saw him.

The guy bowed, "At your service, Madam."

"It's really you!" Excited, Jeslyn almost hugged him but Code 5 was quick enough to stop her.

Inside the tinted car, Maverick, who was reading a book, closed it while looking at his wife who almost hugged another man in his presence.

A few moments later, Jeslyn entered the car only to come face to face with her husband's dark looks. It Startled her for a moment.

"Plum?" she called, uncertain about why he looked gloomy.

"Hm.. you are done," he said passively,

Jeslyn looked at him skeptically for a moment before she smiled. "You don't look happy."

Maverick ignored her and turned his gaze to code 5, "Take a few days break to heal."

Code 5 glanced at his boss from the rear mirror before nodding, "Yes master..."

Jeslyn was dazed. She couldn't Place fingers on why he'd suddenly give Code 5 who just returned to work after so long, off days. Whatever, that's not her problem. As the car drove quietly across the city, Jeslyn broke the silence.

"Plum, I received a message from Rex telling me what was going on at your end. hope you weren't given too much trouble at the Lu residence?"

Maverick shifted his gaze from his book and looked at his wife. "You wanted to hug another man?"

"Huh?" Jeslyn took a few seconds to register what her husband was talking about. She looked at him speechlessly for some time before she burst out into a pile of laughter. Code 5 was horrified as he drove the car in silence. His mind started blaming him for the decision he made. If he had known he wouldn't have taken the Job from code 2, however, he did that because he wanted Jeslyn to see that he is fine now and also, to make things easier for Code 2. Who was meant to stay with Rex at the hospital.

When he was in coma, he could hear words whenever she came to visit him. The days that only his master would drop by, he man would threaten to start his funeral If he didn't wake up soon. Although those words might have sounded mean to people, Code 5 knew that his master cared about his health and was worried that his wife would keep coming to the hospital if he didn't wake up. Còde 5 sighed softly. He was carried away by his thoughts for a while. After not hearing their voices anymore, he glanced at the rear mirror only to see the two engaging in an intimate position.

Code 5 Immediately brought down the divider and tried to focus on the road but the image of the two kept coming to his vision.

The poor single man was at a loss for what to do. The dog food he was dished was way beyond him.

The two disengaged after a while but Maverick was crazy for more.

"Plum, let's save some shame until we get home..." She whispered. Holding his handsome face, she asked him, "Tell me, how did your meeting go? Rex sent me a message and told me what was up." Maverick's hand moved over her body and in no time, he unzipped her gown from behind, catching Jeslyn unaware.

"You smell good," he kissed her neck and bit it softly.

Jeslyn gasped. This was going overboard!

"Plum-"

Before she could speak further, he sealed her lips.

The two/got into another hot section of foreplay with quiet moans coming from Jeslyn while Maverick was breathing heavily from what she was doing to him.

After Maverick had had enough to sustain him until they got home, he finally decided it was time to answer her question.

"The Living ancestors of my Lu family are courting death... Your mother-in-law is mentally exhausted and has been sent to a hospital," he replied.

Jeslyn looked at his emotionless eyes and shook her head, "You don't look happy with your achievement. You are hiding things from me, what happened?"

He shifted his gaze to her and brushed her messy hair back, "Your brother-in-law was wounded."

"What? How come? By who?!"

"His birth mother."

"Has that woman gone crazy?" she raged.

"By tomorrow," he replied while soothing her hair.

"Huh?" she blinked a few times. "What did you do to her?"

"You said she's crazy. I felt so too, so I sent her to a hospital-"

"Mental asylum?" she looked at him suspiciously.

"Hm," he nodded.

"Ha! You sent a sane woman to the mental asylum? Does that not mean that you want her to go mad?"

"Hm. She doesn't behave like a sane person anyway."

Jeslyn giggled. "She deserved it... Ah, I forgot to tell you. Piper is missing."

"She followed her mother home and got shot."

"Oh my God! Your mom is-"

"Hm," he grabbed her breast before leaning in to kiss her again. All these to prevent her from saying

more.

Even though his mother is the worst mother anyone would ever have, he refused for her to be talked bad about, not even by his wife. Which is why, nothing bad about Madan Caroline was published even though it was captured on camera and watched by thousands of people on and offline. 1

People got to know the hidden truth about the wicked woman but no one dared to speak about it. The few who were bold enough to do so, had their own secrets exposed to the media the next minute. Damien arrived at Maverick's home after he was called. On reaching there, he met Doc Matt whom, without words exchanged, ushered him to the laboratory.

"I called you here in respect of the virus in you. We found a cure but we are not 100% sure about it,

SO-"

"You want to use me as a lab rat to see if it would work for Jeslyn?"

"Right on the spot. You owe her a lot and it's only right that you do this for her."

T

Damien looked at Doc Matt quietly, "Does Chaos know this?" 1
