    99 Nagging Feelings- Shy away


    Maverick raised his face from her neck and scrutinized her face. She looked peaceful while sleeping.


    She looked like she didn’t have issues disturbing her. However, he knew how much her heart was


    hurting, just like that little girl, Rossa, who used to tell him about her mother while crying, yet a few


    secondster, she would start ying again like she wasn’t the one crying a while back. T


    ‘Jeslyn… What’s your real identity? Why can’t I find anything meaningful about you? Who is that


    person blocking my path each time I get a new lead? Your medical reports said you are missing two


    years of memory. What happened in those two years? What traumatized you so much? How did you


    also forget your childhood?”


    While thinking all that, Maverick’s fingers were subconsciously outlining her face. Jeslyn stirred but her


    eyes were still closed. She changed the position her hand was in and ced it anywhere.


    Maverick’s mind returned and he slowly trailed his eyes to where her hand was resting and ttened


    his lips. “If only you know what you are doing, Jeslyn.”


    He took her hand off his bulge and ced it on his chest after putting his back on the bed.


    Jeslyn snuggled against him, cing her head on his chest, and smiled. It wasn’t known if she did it


    intentionally or subconsciously.


    That night, while everyone was sleeping, Ray was busy watching the CCTV footage he ced on the


    Lee property.

    He saw thedies in ck, the two with multicolored hair and one dressed in all ck with a cocktail


    hat. He zoomed into the video. The girl doesn’t have Jeslyn’s face, she also didn’t have Jeslyn’s happy


    vibe. The girl’s personality was cold and unfriendly, just like the twodies standing beside her as she


    stared at the Lee mansion.


    Ray sighed and rubbed his temple. He knew she couldn’t have been Jeslyn but why did he still have


    the nagging feeling that it was her?


    Ray was a step away from going crazy. He didn’t know what to do anymore, so he left the image


    ying on the screen while he went to anotherptop to continue working on it.


    The next morning.


    Jeslyn got up refreshed. Maverick was nowhere to be found. There was no new chapter to read yet, so


    she decided to go see Valen and probably take him out to show him around Rose City and the ces


    she used to go to.


    “Valen, child,” she opened his door, a room Pink was supposed to have been in. However, he was not


    in, rather, she met Rex putting on his shirt.


    “S-sorry… Bang!” She immediately sh ut the door and ran off.


    -Rex was confused at her reaction. He stood frozen for a while before he chuckled and shook his head.


    If she could react this way after seeing his body, then what would she do when she sees Maverick’s?


    Would she have a nosebleed?


    “Wait! She must have already seen his body, right? Huh? Brother hasn’t given me any hint, or wait… I


    haven’t asked him about it. Don’t tell me… Has my brother not touched her yet?” Rex’s eyes widened.


    for a brief moment before he hurriedly shook his head.


    “It’s not possible. I know my brother. If Jeslyn couldn’t get his body reacting, he wouldn’t have left


    hickeys on her… But there’s a difference between… Forget it. I’ll find out. Hehehe…”


    Rex knows every single thing that goes on in the house, provided the thing didn’t happen inside the


    rooms of the high profiled people in the house, like Maverick’s room, Jeslyn’s room, and Valen’s room.


    The servants and workers cannot escape Rex’s detection unless he chooses to ignore them.


    As for the reason he knew Jeslyn had hickeys, a few servants saw her when she left Maverick’s room,


    wearing his shirt and they saw the deep red marks on her pale smooth skin. They were mature adults,


    so they didn’t need a detective to tell them what happened.


    Rex sighed and shook his head again before he continued with what he was doing.


    Jeslyn got to the sitting room and found Valen sitting quietly. She tiptoed to stand beside him but the


    child didn’t notice because he was lost in thought. Jeslyn found it strange. She walked to stand in front


    of him, yet Valen seemed to not have noticed.


    Jeslyn sighed and squatted in front of him. “How many children have you gotten?”


    Valen’s gaze focused before he saw Jeslyn in front of him. His lips parted and wanted to call her name


    but decided against it because he thought she was still upset.


    “I- “he wanted to apologize but shook his head. He was right to have said that. After the incident, he


    downloaded Jeslyn’s musicst night and listened to them. The child almost threw his phone in a fit of


    rage afterparing her old voice to the new one.


    No wonder she was still a D-list singer after 5 years. Her agency gave her nonsense to sing in a


    ru bbish voice.


    “Jeslyn, are you du mb?”


    Jeslyn looked at the cute child staring at him and knocked him on the head. “You don’t say that to your


    elders,” She lectured.


    “But I didn’t say that. People online were saying that about you,” he red at her.


    “Huh? Why? I haven’t caused any sensation for the past four months,” she frowned.


    Valen rolled his eyes. “It was on thements you got on your music. People wereining and


    insulting you but your agency did nothing to defend you. They ruined your voice and watched you


    remain in the beginning, yet you did nothing to help yourself… So I agreed with your haters that you.


    are du mb. If I were them, I would have been a worse ha ter.”He red at her again.


    After understanding where he wasing from, Jeslynughed so hard that her stomach hurt. “I was


    really du mb.” She didn’t want to start giving excuses and ming people for her mistakes, so she


    admitted to it.
