Chapter 171 We Were Both Suffering From Unrequited Love (2/2)

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

ving John or Maranda an opportunity to respond.

John felt several complex emotions run through him. According to how Zed looked, something awful might have happened to Jean last night.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated John became. He blamed himself for not protecting Jean well enough.

John remembered feeling as though something bad was going to happen when he saw Jean follow Ethan.

When he called Jean on her cell phone, Maranda had answered the call.

At that time, he was too anxious to think clearly. So John did what he thought was right. He had called Zed and told him about the situation.

He didn't expect that Zed genuinely cared about Jean. Before Zed ended the call, John heard him yelling at someone.

Zed must have driven like a mad person to get here!

John had feared the worst. But he didn't know what happened right after Zed arrived. And since Zed was thanking him, John felt as though perhaps, his actions had stopped something bad from happening to Jean.

John took some comfort in that thought. He sighed as he walked toward the hotel's gate.

”John, did Mr. Qi thank you? What happened between you two?” Maranda ran to catch up with John. Even she had no idea what had happened the previous night. 'Why would Mr. Qi thank John?'

”What do you think happens between two men who love the same woman?” John said indifferently.

Maranda thought about it and found that she didn't really need to ask John. She couldn't help sticking her tongue out at John.

As the two approached the exit, a man in a black suit politely said to John and Maranda, ”Mr. Qiao and Miss Qin, Mr. Qi has instructed me to drive you back.”

Maranda couldn't help asking in amazement, ”Mr. Qi? He asked you to drive us?”
