Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 500

500 Valen took his revenge

Standing at the entrance of the door, Valen cried out, “M–mom?” 1

Jeslyn just stood there, dumbfounded as she stared at her son. He has changed. His temperament, his height, his weight… and even his hair was made into men’s puny tail into a bun and it isn’t so long

anymore.

“Mom, is that really you?”

“Valen? Son?!”

Like she just woke up from slumber, Jeslyn enunciated the words before hurrying towards him. Valen also dashed towards her. The mother and son met and fell into each other’s arms.

“Mom, you’re finally back!”

“I’m back, son, I’m back!” tears leaked down from her eyes. “Why are you so thin?”

Valen chuckled, “I’ve grown.”

While the two were hugging, the other members and friends of the family hurried over. They all froze when they saw the husband and wife.

“Oh my freaking belt! How–how on earth are you so gorgeous!!!” Rex cried in alarm. He rushed to Maverick and touched his pale smooth skin. It was soft and glowy, almost like a Lady’s!

The scar no one but a few of them knew he had on his arm was gone! His body was even lighter like he took a three–year break to hit the gym and get an excellent body like this. The strong veins in his

arms were just…

Rex immediately whipped his head back to look at the women. Their eyes were glued on Jeslyn, so he sighed in relief but his heart was aching.

“Brother, what is going on? Did you go there to work out? Look at your bicep! How do your packs

look? Let me see?”

Maverick was just staring at him like he was a lunatic. “You should grow up.”

“Huh? No way! How would I be the kids‘ favourite uncle if I grow up?” he chuckled before getting serious. “Welcome home, brother.” He initiated a hug. In Maverick’s shoulder, he quickly wiped off the tear that had settled under his eyes.

“Mav, welcome back!” Others joined Maverick and gave him a group hug, except Brian who waited for the excitement to die down before he approached his brother–in–law.

Meanwhile, the ladies couldn’t believe their eyes. Can someone reach this level of beauty? It felt surreal. Words cannot describe how enhanced and flawless she looked.

“Jeslyn! You’re almost sparkling!” Lolita screamed when she finally found her voice.

Jeslyn broke the hug with her son and smiled, Oh boy!

“Please, don’t smile, don’t smile! I’m a straight married woman, damn it!” Beverly yelled.

“Jeslyn, you’ll turn people gay. This is bad,” Celestine added.

“Papa… I heard Jeslyn. Is that mummy… wha! You’re beautiful!”

Jeslyn froze when she saw a replica of her standing by the entrance with a white doll.

“K–Kaylus?”

“Momma? Momma, you’re back?!”

Jeslyn walked to her daughter with mixed feelings. Oh, what kind of life is this? She didn’t watch Valen grow nor fed him her milk and now, Kaylús. This is unfair!‘ She lamented.

Jeslyn knelt in front of her. “You are beautiful,” She said as she touched her daughter’s braid. Her eyes focused on the child’s cute round face. Her milky skin felt smooth and soft like a tofu. Her daughter was well cared for.

“Mummy!” The child hugged her around the neck. “Papa said you’d come soon. You really did.”

“Ahem…There’s a lot of time for this. Right now, we need to hear the result. Let’s go in,” Rex suggested.

Jeslyn carried her daughter and they entered the house, leaving Maverick and Valen outside.

“Thank you, Dad.” The boy hugged his father. Maverick returned the tight hug. Words weren’t needed between the two. They both understood each other.

Válen was thanking him for staying alive and bringing his mother back; safe and sound.

Inside the house, Jeslyn didn’t have time to bond with Pink before the results were announced.

Despite the great difficulty of the exam, Valen aced it all with the total score of 750; the exact maximum score for the college entrance examination.

Jeslyn felt horrible when she learned what had happened in her children’s lives. The most important time of Valen’s life, she was never present. She knew she owes him a whole lot and promised herself to slowly make it right.

For the next few months, the family of four slept together on the same bed. Kaylus was so attached to Valen that she only cared about her parents because of their exceptionally beautiful faces.

This was something Jeslyn couldn’t live with, so she made sure to slowly carve a space in her daughter’s heart for herself and her husband.

Parents‘ affection, they say, is the strongest medicine out there. That statement was proven to be true with Kaylus. Before three months, they completely won Kaylus over but even so, she still won’t stop calling Valen ‘Papa.’

Maverick wasn’t pleased that he is called Dad, while Valen is called Papa and tried many ways to make sure the girl stopped calling Valen so. However, Valen took full advantage of his sisters love and made her stop calling Maverick ‘dad‘ all together.

“Mr. Lu? Hmmm… That sounds better.” Kaylus had said.

Two years later…

“You’re still awake. Are you overwhelmed by today’s event?” Maverick asked. Both had retired for the night but Jeslyn was tossing and turning.

“I’m not happy.” She turned on her side, staring at her husband’s profile.

“You won the Album of the year again. Matt professed his love to your friend. You should be happy!”

“Yes, there’s that. Lola deserved it. After five years, Matt finally reciprocated her love. I’m happy for her, but that’s not my problem.”

“I’m listening.”

“Plum, you have experience with seeing a child grow from an infant… Valen drew under your watch. So, tell me, how does it feel?”

“Is this why?”

“Yes. I was wondering how is feels to breastfeed a baby. I saw a mother on TV today and it looked cute seeing your baby feeding from you.”

Maverick finally opened his eyes, turned on his side and held her gaze. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s perhaps different from how you feel when I suck your nip.”

She frowned slightly, “Perhaps…”

“You want to give it a try?” he asked.

“What?”

“Whichever one you want; let me suck or let me get you pregnant and experience it this time.”

She swallowed. “I- I have a runway show in four month. I’m not sure it would look good if I get on stage with pregnancy.”

“Then, you’d like for me to suck?” he licked his lips and winked.

“Damn! Don’t make such faces. I don’t want to go back on my words. We have a deal, remember?”

“Which was?” he raised a brow while playing with the hem of her night wear.
