Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

439 His appearance

"Ok...since we are on this, you should tell me, why are you looking like a thief?” 1

"H-huh?"

"There are beads of sweat on your forehead, your eyes are darting around, and..." he narrowed his eyes. "You look suspicious. I don't think I've seen you before."

"Little Master!" The chauffeur yelled. At this point, he saw Jeslyn coming over, wearing a blue mask and shades. That was when it dawned on the chauffeur that the little young Master wanted to set him up! "What? You can't defend yourself now?"

"Little Young Master, please have mercy!" The chauffeur started regretting why he tried to engage the devil in a conversation. It was rare for Valen to show so much happiness, so he thought he could keep the boy company till his mother joined them. Who would have known that he'd be courting death.

How could Valen say he'd never seen him before? Ever since Valen started school, this chauffeur had been the one taking him to and fro school.

"What are you two doing?" Jeslyn asked when she joined them in the car.

"I offended Little Young Master. I'm sorry, Ma'am." The chauffeur beat Valen to it.

Jeslyn looked at her son. He wants to cause commotion so she'd forget what he did to her face. Who taught this little guy these schemes?

"Mummy, he finds it interesting if your son is sad!"

The Chauffeur almost yelled when he heard the blatant lie, but held himself back. Jeslyn is not an unreasonable person, she'd understand. So he thought.

"Really?" Jeslyn lifted the shades and narrowed her eyes, causing Valen to laugh out loud.

"Young man, I give you the day off. I'll take my son to school today." Jeslyn said to the Chauffeur.

The young man was surprised at first but later got down from the car. He couldn't hide his excitement. He'd be able to take his woman out on a date, and it's thanks to Little Young Master.

After the chauffeur left, Valen finally asked, "Why didn't you wash it off your face?"

"Because my good son used a tattoo marker pen instead of a marker."

The smile on his face slipped off instantly and a frown settled between his brows. "That's not right." He opened his school bag and brought out the pen. It was indeed a tattoo marker that lasts for 5 days on the skin.

"This is not mine." The crease in between his brows deepened.

"What's wrong?"Jeslyn asked.

"We were asked to get markers for a project. Aunt Yellow got me a marker, but it wasn't this."

"It must have been a mistake from a student. Don't worry too much, it-"

"No, mom, my locker is not a zone for kids to play. I sit alone in class, so what business would one have coming to my space? Let alone change my stuff?"

"Hmm... if that's the case, someone is trying to play you dirty. We'll find out what it is when you get to school but before then, you'll need some new markers as a back up plan."

"Yeah, I'll need new markers but I'll take care of those rotten kids myself. It's been a long time since I spanked them."

"Hahaha..." Jeslyn laughed. Her son is the best. She wished she'd be there to watch him deal with

those kids.

Jeslyn went to the driver's seat and zoomed off. When they left the compound, five cars followed after her, led by Code 5. They wouldn't dare to allow anything to happen to their boss' wife and son, else they'd be done for.

The cars arrived at the school gate and Jeslyn watched her son enter the school premises before she left.

On her way, she received a call from the company and made a beeline to head there. Getting to the company, Jeslyn was shocked to see Maverick standing close to Fearless Entertainment's main gate with his back turned to her.

Jeslyn immediately hit the brakes and jumped out of the car, running towards him, she screamed.

"Ma-" however before she could finish, the person turned. Jeslyn froze in her steps as her mind went blank.

"Rossa!"

Jeslyn shuddered when he called her. Unlike before, there was something weird in his tone of voice. He sounded just like Maverick!

"It's been a while." He started walking towards her. One hand in his black trousers pocket, and the other dangling beside him. He was wearing a black shirt, and a long black coat- exactly the type Maverick would wear when it's cold.

The way he walks, the sly smile on his face, and the way he styled his hair to the side, was exactly how Maverick does his, sometimes. Her mind subconsciously replaced the face and her legs started taking her forward and in no time, she found herself running towards him.

"Maverick!!" She jumped into his arms. "I've missed you so much! Where have you been?"

The man didn't respond but rather broke the hug and wrapped his hand around Jeslyn's waist, giving her the same feel as Maverick. He pulled her up to his chest and lowered his head. Just as he was about to kiss her...

"Rinnnng! Rinnnng!"

The vibration from her phone pulled her out of the imagination. She patted her body for the phone and found it in her coat's pocket.

She pulled it out to see who called, it was Lolita.

"Rossa, I'm back!"

Jeslyn raised her eyes from the phone to see him standing a few feet away from her. Jeslyn was dazed again for a moment before it dawned on her that this man isn't her husband. He is Reuben Yu, disguised as Rubenstein Ye!

"Reuben Y-"

"Rubenstein Ye." He corrected. "I thought we were friends. But I've been gone for More than Six months, yet you didn't look for me."

The eyes that were staring back at Jeslyn through those rimmed glasses, weren't the unfocused eyes of the shy nerd she once knew. His confidence, his smell, and almost everything about him, screamed Maverick!

The only thing he couldn't get away with is Maverick's sex appeal and the deadly air around him.
