Chapter 47 An Addiction to Intimacy (2/2)

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

silence stretched on for what seemed like an eternity. Time seemed to have stopped for Jean. The surrounding air seemed suffocating and only their breathing could be heard.

”You seem to be enjoying your freedom since you left. Aren't you?” Zed turned and closed in on her. Jean took a step back only to find that he had cornered her.

Jean's face turned crimson. She didn't answer him.

”Are you pretty happy with Ethan Lei?” He asked in an indifferent tone. With the way the corners of his mouth turned up, Jean could sense a little sarcasm.

Jean shifted her gaze to the ground and whispered, ”I'm not with him.”

It was such a simple answer. Zed believed her. Ever since he had wronged her, Zed didn't dare to pass judgement without knowing the facts.

Zed hadn't seen Jean in several days and he had truly missed her.

Jean's words seemed to have softened Zed's attitude toward her. He gently placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face till she was looking at him. ”How long are you planning to stay away?”

Her breath hitched as she realized that Zed was asking when she was going to move back to the villa.

His handsome face and delicate facial features were right in front of her. The tenderness and desire she saw reflecting in Zed's eyes stole her soul. Jean's lips parted and a soft gasp escaped when she understood that she was falling for Zed.

Ever since their separation, Jean had slept poorly. She knew it was because she had already gotten used to having him sleep by her side. Their break-up had also left Jean on edge and anxious. It was only when she felt relieved after seeing Zed did Jean understand why she felt the way that she did. As the realization dawned on Jean, she became nervous.
