Chapter 200 Suspicions (1/2)

Jean frowned and stopped cleaning vegetables. She turned to face Zed.

”She told you she has someone in her heart?” Jean asked cautiously.

”No. I sensed that myself. Jesse was shocked as well. It almost felt as though she didn't know whether or not she fancied someone.” Zed sighed as he exclaimed, ”Any person trapped in love is blind. Jean, I am so lucky to have you. We love each other and we are sincere. We are so blessed!”

Zed encircled Jean's waist and pulled her close for a hug. He planted a gentle kiss on her head and closed his eyes as contentment filled him.

Jean was touched by Zed's sentimental confession. She put away her suspicions regarding Jessie temporarily. She smiled as she spoke, ”Zed, I am lucky to have you as well.”

Zed opened his eyes and stared at her beautiful face. Jean's genuine smile had lit up her face. Her eyes sparkled as well. Desire flamed inside Zed.

”Nothing. You need to stay in the living room so that I can finish quickly. I won't be long.” Jean pushed him out of the kitchen with a playful smile. She walked Zed to the couch and gently pushed him down. She even handed him a financial periodical! ”Read this. I will call you when dinner is ready.”

Still giggling, Jean hurried back to the kitchen.

Zed opened the magazine and began flipping through it to pass time. He loved how considerate Jean could be. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't spend more time with her, he was happy at the idea that Jean was making this effort for Jesse.

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...
