Jeslyn blushed but said nothing, especially when Vera was standing behind them.
Maverick frowned when he saw that Jeslyn wasn’t going to say what he needed to hear. He tightened the hold around her waist, making her gasp. "If you don’t open your mouth, we are heading to the room."
Jeslyn imdiately whipped her head up and bead, "I’ll miss you too," head to the room? Certainly not! Her body still hurts from last night’s ’exercises’.
Maverick wrapped both hands around her waist and lowered his head to claim her lips but Jeslyn ’unknowingly’ turned her face to the side.
"Rex, are you done? When should we leave?" She tried to wiggle her way out of his hold but Maverick’s grip on her was way stronger than her strength.
She sighed and looked up, "Maverick, I need to..." Jeslyn’s words got stuck in her throat as his mouth covered hers.
Jeslyn was worried about the standing behind them but since it has gotten to this point, why not enjoy it? After all, she was leaving because of her anyway.
Vera looked at the couple in front of her with her mind blank. She was here to bid Rossa farewell, after all, she was her only friend and through Rossa, she t her family. A thing she was grateful for, however, the man who was supposed to be her baby’s father doesn’t see her as a living being. She woke up two days ago, yet she hasn’t spoken to him. He doesn’t even know if she exists. Rex who keeps her company is leaving, now she will be alone with this man but live a lonely life. If that happens, how is she going to get her mory back? She sighed and stepped forward. "Rossa?"
Her interruption made Jeslyn pull away and looked at her.
Vera could see the swollen lips and flushed face but that didn’t an anything to her. She opened her arms for a hug.
Jeslyn was taken aback but still left Maverick’s arms and hugged her.
"You’ll be going far away from ho. I’ll miss your absence. Please don’t forget to call daily to update on what’s going on with you. Even though we are with the sa man, I hope we can be happy together."
"Not a problem, I’ll call every day to know how you are faring." Sharing her man with soone else was sothing Jeslyn cannot stand, especially with Valen’s mother because Valen’s mother has a stronger place in Maverick’s heart than a punny convenient person like her, or so she thought.
The two disengaged and Jeslyn got into the blue car which was Rex’s.
Staring at Vera, Maverick’s face was black, but Vera could see that his gaze on her looked murderous. Those eyes sent terror into her heart, so she imdiately turned around and hurried to the house, hoping to hurl up in her room and go invisible.
...
Rex and Jeslyn arrived at Country Y two days later. Unlike Country M which gave a death vibe, Country Y looked harmonious and colorful. Just like Country A but the difference was that Country Y was richer and well developed compared to Country A.
Because it was in the middle of the night, Rex and Jeslyn booked a hotel room close to the airport to spend the night.
Going straight to Celestine’s house wouldn’t be ideal because she lived in the most peaceful and well protected area in the Country.
Inside Jeslyn’s VIP room...
She returned from the shower with a white bathrobe to dry herself while blow-drying her hair. Then she heard her phone ring. She knew it was either Maverick or Vera, however, after checking the caller ID, it was from Ray.
She furrowed her brows and was about to drop the call when her finger accidentally slid through the side button.
The side buttons on her phone answer a call but when one slides through it, it auto places the person on speaker.
She was about to hang up when his voice drifted into her ears.
"Jeslyn... please, give a... hic!"
Listening to his drowsy voice and the hiccup, she could tell he was drunk. Jeslyn picked up the phone, removed it from speaker and pressed it against her ear while doing her thing.
"Jeslyn... hic, hic! Are you there?..."
"Hmm,"
"Please, don’t... don’t hang up. I... I want to tell... hic! You sothing."
Jeslyn frowned slightly. Ray had never taken alcohol to this level before. He only drinks on important occasions but has never abused it. Whatever must have happened to force him to drink so much tonight has landed him a big blow.
"I’m listening. Also, I don’t care how you do it, sober up before you speak to . I can’t tolerate you sounding like a broken record. If you can’t do that, then call next ti."
"Wait...wait, it’s imperative I tell you...tonight. Give ... give a mont. Hic!" The phone went silent but the call didn’t end.
Jeslyn felt disgusted. She placed the phone on speaker before putting it down to apply moisturizer on her face.
After about 15– 20 minutes Jeslyn was done applying her night cream and was looking at her phone, feeling bored. Rembering she hadn’t told Maverick she arrived safely, she was about to disconnect the call when Ray’s voice sounded again. Much clearer than before.
"I’m sorry for keeping you... waiting."
"What do you want?" Jeslyn replied rudely.
"I know I did wrong... I have offended you and your family and I deserve everything... you do to ..."
"Say sothing else or I’ll drop the call!" She snapped.
"Ok, I’m sorry for wasting your ti... before I t you, I was dating your older sister, Emilee."
Jeslyn’s eyes shot open and she sat upright to hear more. She found out her father had a daughter with Christine’s mother and the girl’s na was Emilee, however after she ca out of jail and did research on the family, Emilee couldn’t be found. She even had Rex check Chen’s family record but didn’t find Emilee and her pictures.
