98 Making a life changing decision
Valen snorted in response and Jeslyn looked away. Only Maverick was an exception. He continued to
eat his food slowly in silence without making a noise with his cutlery or chewing.
A few moments later, Jeslyn patted her dry lips with a wh ite napkin and got up from her chair. “I’m
done eating, please excuse me.”
Valen and Rex simultaneously shifted their gazes to Jeslyn’s plate. She only ate a few bites and now
she’s full?
Maverick nodded without raising his head. Valen bit down on his lips while looking at Jeslyn’s back. Did
he do something wrong by speaking the truth?
Inside the room, Jeslyn lay on her bed, thinking of what to do. It would be hard to start afresh, however,
she was already 26 and the music industry is being dominated by youngsters. Or should she change
careers? She knows about acting but doesn’t know if she would do well.
But then again, she had spent 4 months doing nothing, and she really needed to start doing something
because whatever she decides to do now needs a lot of money…but what?
She was a good writer when she was in school. She used to top her class and her English teacher
used to sing her praises. How about she writes novels online for the remaining 8 months while also
thinking about what to do?
Jeslyn nodded at the decision she arrived at and pulled out her phone to make some research about
light novels. She heard that light novels were slowly gaining ground now as people no longer read hard
copies but preferred to read online.
Surfing through the internet, she got the three best writing and reading platforms and downloaded them
before logging in to see what kind of novels they accept.
In her library, she added a few best-selling books and thought to just skim through the pages to get an
idea of what works best for the platform but unknowingly got hooked reading ‘the Assassin Empress;
wbyp’.
Jeslyn didn’t know when she read three hundred chapters of the book. She only stopped when she felt
her eyes growing dim. She decided to check the author’s name.
“Poor author, I was too carried away to remember checking your name and giving you credit. Hahaha..”
she laughed while searching for the author’s name.
“Oh, Hassy_101… Nice name… So, what can I do to support this fine book of yours?” Jeslyn continued
talking to herself while navigating the app to see how it worked.
“Hmm… So, this is how it works. How do I… Ah, it needs a payment method. But I have no bank
account.” She sighed. Another reason she really needs to start making money. Here, she needed to
support her favorite author but got no money, 3
Jeslyn rubbed her temple and yawned. “Why am I feeling sleepy? Isn’t it afternoon?” She hardly feels
sleepy at noon, so what was going on with her body? Is she growing weak now?
Jeslyn looked at the time and blinked. She rubbed her eyes and blinked again and again.

“12? That’s weird-” her lips fell open when she realized it was midnight.
“So, I spent… How many hours of reading?” Jeslyn calculated in her mind. From 11 AM to 12 AM.
“13 hours???!! Who sits and reads for 13 hours?!” Jeslyn thought. 11
Well, if she had seen avid readers on platforms, she wouldn’t be asking that.
“Click,”
Jeslyn raised her head to look at her door when she heard the clicking sound. She knew who would be
entering her room by this time, so she didn’t bother to get alarmed. True to her thoughts, Maverick
walked into her room in his black outfit… No, it seemed he changed from the earlier one because this
one was plain, unlike the one he wore earlier that had gold buttons, this one has black buttons.
Maverick’s clothes are almost identical unless one pays attention to little details.
“Why- You came,” Jeslyn blurted out. That wasn’t what she wanted to say but the words got changed
on the tip of her tongue. She wanted to ask him why he wasn’t sleeping.
“Hmm…” He answered and sat in the bed to remove his shoes. “I heard you didn’t eat anything.” He
turned his head in her direction.
“Oh, I forgot.” She touched her stomach and shook her head. “I don’t seem to be hungry,” she smiled.
Maverick nodded. He got up to take off his clothes.
Looking at him as he took off his clothes reminded him of how Su Yue, the female lead in the book she
just read, took off the Emperor’s clothes. The activity they did flashed through her mind and butterfly
feelings swept through her stomach.
To be honest, while reading the spicy scenes in the story, she couldn’t help imagining herself and
Maverick doing it. Although the author wasn’t very detailed, she was able to picture the scene. After all,
she was no child.
Lost in her own world, she didn’t know she was ogling her husband. Meanwhile, Maverick was also
staring at her, taking in all her little reactions.
Sometimes she swallowed, sometimes her eyes lit up and other times, she subconsciously touched
her stomach.
Maverick shook his head. Whatever was running through her head was dangerous for them both, so he
turned and walked towards the bathroom with his trousers on.
Even when he left, Jeslyn wasn’t aware. She snapped awake after a while and felt embarrassed. How
could she not know when he left? A few moments later, Jeslyn yawned and stretched before entering
the blanket.
Soon Maverick returned with a wh ite towel wrapped around his tiny firm waist. He walked to the
dressing table and blew his hair dry and went to her walk-in closet to get the pajamas he brought along
from home.
Sleeping beside her on the bed, he could perceive her flowery scent. He placed his face on the cr ook
of her neck and sniffed in her scent. His action, coupled with the smell got his body excited but … he
wasn’t intending to do anything to her right now. She was in a bad mood earlier and he also could see
she needed a good sleep from whatever she had been doing in the room behind his back.
