Chapter 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 seconds later, she would start playing again like she wasn’t the one crying a while back.
’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 placed it anywhere.
Maverick’s mind returned and he slowly trailed his eyes to where her hand was resting and flattened his lips. "If only you know what you are doing, Jeslyn."
He took her hand off his bulge and placed it on his chest after putting his back on the bed.
Jeslyn snuggled against him, placing 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 placed on the Lee property.
He saw the ladies in black, the two with multicolored hair and one dressed in all black 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 two ladies 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?
