"That’s good. I’ll ask doctor Matt later what you should be eating. Then when next the kitchen prepares your al, I’ll pay extra attention." Jeslyn said like a mother caring for her child.
"Thank you, Rossa."
"It’s no big deal. You are carrying our child, so you need to be properly taken care of." Jeslyn bead.
For so reason, Vera shivered. What woman gets this happy when there’s another woman who could ruin her ho, sitting in front of her? The more Vera thought, the more confused she got. The only thing that stuck to the back of her mind was that Jeslyn has bad intentions towards her and her baby!
That’s right, as a ’stepmother’, she would want to kill the unborn child just so Valen would also die. When that happens, Vera would no longer have a reason to remain in the house and Jeslyn will no longer worry about her marriage getting ruined.
Although Vera knew that it shouldn’t be her concern if Valen died, still she didn’t want that because it would ruin her mission, so she needs to protect Valen and her pregnancy.
While Vera was overthinking it, Jeslyn was busy eating the delicious food she personally made for her dear plum.
"Plum, we haven’t gone on a date since we got married. Aren’t you going to take out?" Jeslyn smiled.
Maverick raised his gaze from his food and looked at her. "Where do you have in mind?"
Jeslyn shook her head, "you should know the good places in the Country."
Maverick nodded and cut a slice of chicken he brought to her lips.
Jeslyn happily parted her lips while her eyes shifted to Vera’s direction. Her smile brightened when she saw Vera was a step away from exploding.
"Hmm, so delicious. Plum, why does it taste different from your hand? Is it because you fed yourself?" She got up from her seat and walked to Maverick. She patted his lap and gestured to the chair.
Understanding what she ant, Maverick moved his chair back and the space between him and the dining table beca wide. Jeslyn got in between and sat on his lap.
"You should feed instead. Ahh," she opened her mouth for Maverick to put in food.
Maverick smiled with his eyes and did as told.
Vera tried to not watch as they fed her dog food but she couldn’t help her eyes that kept darting around at every interval.
She tried very hard to maintain a nonchalant face but her hand betrayed her. She was holding the cutlery so tightly to the cutlery that one would think they’ll break in two.
As she was about to put food in her mouth, she caught sight of them kissing passionately.
Now she has had enough!
"Screeeeeeeeeech!!!"
Vera’s chair made a loud screeching sound as she attempted to stand up, yet the ’promiscuous’ couple didn’t break their kiss.
"I’m full, thanks for the al, Jeslyn." She faked a smile.
Hearing that, Jeslyn broke the kiss and turned her head to look at Vera. "You’re welco, Vera." She smiled too before turning back to continue her business with her husband.
Vera gritted her teeth and balled her fists before walking away. Getting to a spot where Jeslyn couldn’t see her, she stopped and glared at the dining area before storming off.
Jeslyn broke the kiss for real this ti and looked at Vera’s empty seat before a smile broke out on her lips. ’Vera, this is just the beginning. I’ll make you leave this house on your own.’ she thought.
As she tried to get up from Maverick’s lap, she discovered she couldn’t move. Looking down at her waist, his hands were holding her in place.
Yeah, why would she make trouble with the sleeping lion? It’s been a week that they haven’t had s3x and how she has awoken his little brother who was growing under her.
Can she beg now? That little brother, when awoken, only goes back to sleep after eating sothing.
"Plum, I’m still hungry–"
"I’m hungry too."
"Then that’s good, let return to my chair so we can eat in peace, shall we?" She smiled nervously.
Maverick leaned in the crook of her neck and breathed in her nice fragrance.
"You sll good." He whispered.
"I know... You do too." Jeslyn blushed. It was rare for him to complint her. She liked that he doesn’t do it regularly so she could treasure the tis he suddenly says it.
"Mn," Maverick raised his gaze and saw there were still maids around them, though they had their eyes down.
"Get Xuan," Maverick’s deep voice rang slowly.
Maya bowed and hurried off. A few monts later, she returned hurriedly with Butler Xuan.
"Deliver the food to my room... In two hours."
"Yes, Master."
Jeslyn, who was trying to scoop a spoon of soup, froze when she felt movent from Maverick. Before she could look to see while he was shifting, she felt her waist lift and she was in mid-air.
The spoon was still in her hand. She looked at Maverick. What was he trying to do?
Jeslyn didn’t wait long to understand what was happening as Maverick started to walk out of the dining area with Jeslyn in his arms.
She let the spoon fall. She wasn’t worried that it won’t be found because a mont after they left, Maya picked up the spoon and cleared the table with the other maids.
...
Two hours later, Maverick ca out of the shower while carrying Jeslyn in his arms. He gently placed her on a chair to blow dry her hair when the doorbell rang.
He didn’t respond to the door but after a few seconds, butler Xuan walked in with a tray. He placed it on the table and walked out without exchanging words. He ca alone, so he didn’t need to wait for anyone before shutting the door behind him.
After drying Jeslyn’s hair, Maverick walked to the drawer beside his bed and brought out a small black box.
He walked back to Jeslyn before opening the box.
