Chapter 177 How Many Women Are You With (2/2)

Jean had never heard Zed speak to anyone so tenderly and patiently.

Judging fro

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. ”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

nto my study? Why did you run away?”

”I......” Jean didn't resist Zed taking her hands into his. She just lowered her gaze and looked churlish.

It seemed that Zed didn't know that she had overheard his conversation. He was also oblivious to her knowing that a Jesse existed.

'Good!'

Jean raised her head to see Zed in the eye and said, ”I had a nightmare so I wanted to find you in your study. But I came back when I saw that you were busy.”

”Is that all?” Full of doubt, Zed again asked, ”Then, why did you lock yourself inside? You even didn't react at all when I asked you to open the door for quite a long time?”

Jean snorted with contempt, ”Didn't I say that I had a nightmare? I locked the door inside because I was scared.”

Jean looked down for a second and wondered, 'Why didn't I ask Zed who Jesse was?

What is their relationship?

Jean, what on earth are you afraid of?

Is anything worse than our present situation?'

”Honey, you are so stupid.” Zed felt sorry for saying this and immediately hugged her: ”When you next have a nightmare, just call me, and I will be there with you.”

Wrapped in his arms, Jean felt more upset and depressed listening to Zed comforting her.

”Just call me, and I will be with you.”

Comparing his tone to how Zed spoke to Jesse (”That's a good girl. You will spoil your face if you don't stop crying...”), To how he spoke to her, Jean's guess was more or less confirmed.
