Chapter 169 She Went To Ethans Room (1/2)
”That's what you said. I didn't force you to answer my question. And why are you asking me such a question? Moreover, you called me silly! How dare you? You have some explaining to do, Zed!” Jean became quite unhappy about what Zed had said. She kept questioning Zed, trying to figure out what he truly meant.
”You don't know that you behaved in an unacceptable way? I am your husband. However, you did not believe me. Instead, you're asking me silly questions. Don't you know that I feel heartbroken about what you did and said? Jean, I love you very much and I care about you. You do know that, right? Now you are questioning me like this. Is it because I did not make you feel comfortable last night? Would you be happier if I treat you better now?”
Zed asked with a wicked grin, and his tone was rather intimate.
When Jean realized what Zed was hinting at, her face flushed. Zed seemed to have guessed what she was thinking by her reaction. The corners of his mouth lifted in a suggestive grin.
”Zed! I don't want to see you or talk to you any more.” Jean was not expecting Zed to flirt at a time like this. Not only had he caught her off-guard with his suggestion, Jean blushed at his proposal. Unable to counter, she stamped her foot, buried her face in her hands, and ran to the bathroom.
A big smile crept onto Zed's lips. He was still grinning when Jean slammed the bathroom door shut. Zed loved how Jean reacted to his advances and his light teasing. Something about her innocence and the way she blushed made Zed want to tease her more. He shook his head at her demureness.
He enjoyed teasing her and he was quite sure that Jean enjoyed this little loving banter between them. Her reaction also reassured Zed that she was all right.
That was important to Zed. He was afraid that the events of the previous night would have affected her on a deeper level. And so, it was nice to see that she was still light humored and capable of behaving like her normal self.
Not wanting to face Zed, Jean decided to take a long bath. The hot water felt comforting and she closed her eyes and enjoyed how relaxed she felt. When done, Jean stepped out of the bathroom with her hair still dripping.
She noticed that her luggage had already been brought into the room. She knew that Zed must have asked his secretary to do so. A smile appeared on her face.
Jean thought, 'I am so lucky to have such a considerate and thoughtful husband. Never had I imagined that I would be so fortunate.'
”Your hair is still wet. Do you plan on falling sick? Why didn't you dry your hair properly? Are you in a hurry?” Zed grabbed a dry towel and walked to Jean. Without hesitating, he began drying Jean's hair.
Jean closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of Zed's hands as he gently rubbed her hair in the towel. She felt so relaxed and comfortable. With a half-smile, she said, ”Zed, I find that it is becoming more and more difficult for me to live without you.”
Zed's hands stopped and he tilted his head to look at Jean as he joked back, ”Do you mean that you will die if I leave you? What choice do I have then? I must stay by your side. But then again, you are always so careless. I have no choice but to look after you.” Zed stopped to sigh deeply bef
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
