Chapter 95


    95 Gifting a rose


    Seeing this, a small smile found itself on Pink’s lips. The minute she realized she was smiling, her face


    turned bitchy again before she got up and walked out of the room without the ‘lovers’ realizing she


    was gone.


    The two stayed in that position for a long time before they separated. Jeslyn pulled the child and they


    sat on the bed. “When did you arrive?” She asked.


    Valen stayed silent while his eyes surveyed the room. It was a typical rich girl’s room with lots of fluffy


    stuff. However, instead of a pink room, hers was creamy. After a long time, he replied with an attitude.


    “I was passing through this City and decided to stop by and hand this thing…” he pulled out the rose


    and handed it to her. “…To your family. But I waste, so you can have it.”


    Jeslyn looked down at the red rose and epted it before she burst into a fit ofughter.


    Hahahahaha!…


    Valen suddenly felt ashamed. He knew she wouldugh at him and his childish gift. He thought he was


    ready for it but didn’t know it would hurt so bad. His face downcasted and the excitement he felt when


    he saw her awake vanished.


    All of a sudden, herughter turned to sobs. Valen panicked. What did he do? What should he do?


    How should he console her? He wasn’t good at consoling anyone, so he got scared. 1


    The only thing he could think of was to do the same thing she always did to him, so he hugged her and


    started patting her back but her cries got worse.


    The child’s anxiety got bigger. Then he heard her say: “It’s been ages since Ist received flowers from


    my loved ones.”


    Valen’s eyes widened. ‘Loved ones? Does that mean the feeling is mutual? She loves him too?” “Thank


    you so much, Valen, honey. You have brightened my day. Even though the flowers were never mine, I


    will cherish them with all of my heart. It is your first gift to me, so it’s a big deal.”


    ‘Da mn! Who said they aren’t for you? I personally handpicked the rose from Uncle Rex’s garden and


    left it in a jar of water to remain fresh. If I had known you would be this appreciative, I would have


    gotten you something better, something you would forever hold close to your heart… but what is that


    thing?!


    While the big one was saying her thoughts aloud, the small one was saying his in his heart.


    Unbeknownst to the two of them, a man in ck and the other in a multicolored shirt were standing


    right outside the opened door watching and listening to all Jeslyn was saying. After a while, the man in


    ck turned around and walked away like a ghost.


    “Brother, you aren’t going in?” Rex asked when Maverick turned.


    “She is fine.” He replied curtly.


    “Ho! Of course, she would be fine after waking up from two days of sleep. I haven’t seen my sister-in-


    law for a long while now. If you aren’t going, then I am.”


    Maverick paused on his step and without looking back, he said in a weird tone filled with threat.

    “She’s my wife.”


    Rex, who was about to go into the room, paused. “huh? Of course, I know she’s your wife. I never…”


    his eyes widened and he swallowed. “Bro- brother?…” He looked from Maverick’s wide back to Jeslyn


    who was still talking and decided to take a step back.


    He stood behind his brother and said in a hurtful voice. “Brother, how could you think of me like that?


    Of course, I know she’s your wife. I can never have eyes for my brother’s wife…”


    Maverick suddenly snorted and restimed walking. Rex followed whilementing. “You don’t believe


    me.” He held his heart dramatically. “Jeslyn is my sister-inw!!” He cried out.


    “Miranda,” Maverick uttered.


    Hearing that name, Rex froze. After a while, he cackled up like a crazy man. “Hahahaha… brother!


    Miranda was Levi’s wife-”


    “He is also your brother.”


    “Half brother. Say it as it is. He is our half-brother.”


    “Still your sister-inw”


    “Promiscuous sister-inw.” Rex corrected. “She wanted you even as your sister-inw. She went after


    Valen’s life. So, I took care of her,”


    By seducing her.”


    “It is called, honey trap.”


    Maverick paused abruptly, prompting Rex to walk into his strong back. Maverick raised a brow and


    turned around. “The next time-”


    “Yaaaah! It was a mistake. I didn’t walk into you on purpose. How could you threaten your little brother


    like that? Don’t you have brotherly sympathy?!”


    “No,” Maverick answered tly. (1)


    Rex rolled his eyes. “Fine. I didn’t sleep with that where. I only made her fall in love with me and broke


    her heart. Then Levi killed her for betraying him. I can’t do that to Jeslyn. She won’t even like me even


    if I try… She doesn’t even like you, so how can she like me?” Rex pouted.


    Every girl theye across likes or loves Maverick before him. Some only fall in love with him after he


    seduces them. However, Jeslyn seems not to care about anyone or anything. Although she liked


    handsome men, that’s it. She doesn’t attach feelings to it.


    “You admitted you like her too.”


    “Of course I like her! She’s likable-” before Rex realized what he just said, it was already toote


    because the monster was staring at him with piercingly sharp eyes. His hands were folded on his chest


    with an eyebrow raised.


    “Hehehe…” Rexughed awkwardly while scratching his head.


    “Rex, Maverick called.


    Rex sighed. Maverick rarely called his name and whenever he did, it meant there was suddenly a


    difficult mission for him to carry out.


    “Brother, Miranda’s case was different. You know I have a feud with Levi. Just like that woman and her


    daughter, we can’t kill Levi, but that doesn’t mean we can’t cause them heartaches, which I did to Levi


    by taking away the woman he loved so dearly. If she didn’t cross the boundary, I wouldn’t have targeted


    her. However, Jeslyn is-”
