Chapter 271 I Do Like Her (1/2)

”Don't think like that. We are just here to show our concern for you. And we came to check how are you doing.” Maranda hurriedly clarified herself to Jean and suddenly her cheeks started to turn red. She was blushing.

”Concern for me?” Jean said sarcastically while looking at Ron with a smirk on her face. He came right after Calvin's departure. It was weird.

Jean didn't think Ron would show up without Maranda's invitation. Jean and Ron only meet once. How come he was so forward in visiting her with Maranda? Something was going on there.

And she was not popular like a star about whom everyone was worried so they were coming to visit her.

”Yes, we are worried about you. Since you are suffering...... because of us.....” Maranda hesitated but then she explained angrily, ”I don't even know what the video uploader want by doing that? It was me and Ron who went on the blind date. Why did they came after you and Calvin? Our blind date don't count as news? Then why are they so concern about it?”

”Of course it can't be.” Jean gave a wry smile to Maranda. She was so innocent, not even realizing the ulterior motive behind it. She soberly said, ”Your blind date is normal for them since you both are single. If those men break the news about you two, people will be just jealous and the video uploader will only get their attention. But Calvin and I are different. You know I am married. And married women are measured with different eyes. There are many angles with which you can aim at a married women! And you can create a great deal of gossip with that.”

”What are you talking about, Jean? Are you self-explaining or laughing at us?” Maranda cast a side-glance at Jean with solemn expressions. ”Do you think it was unnecessary for us to visit you today? Also please tell me. Are you angry with me since I ask you to go with me that time on blind date......”

Maranda said with remorse. It was visible on her face that she was feeling guilty.

”I never said that......” Jean stopped Maranda to prevent an awkward situation. ”Don't blame yourself. Someone wanted to hurt me. It was not gonna change even though you were not there. They would have found a different way to hurt me.”

”It seems like you are really in danger.” Maranda frowned at Jean anxiously and asked her seriously, ”What are you going to do?”

”What can I do? There is not much in my hands. I don't even know who they are, ” Jean said while spreading her hands in helplessness as she had no other alternative. Then she asked Maranda after remembering something, ”Didn't you go back to the company with John? Why did you came back again?

”It's because of me.” Ron suddenly replied in his low voice while looking all tense and continued, ”I wanted to check on you af

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
