Chapter 271 I Do Like Her (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...

hom she had met the first time..

”Don't worry. I know how such things work. That is not your fault. And I am not blaming you.”

She deliberately said in order to normalize Ron. She didn't want Maranda to see Ron in that state.

”Ron! What did you do to Jean?” Maranda asked Ron while staring at him angrily when she heard what Jean had just said. She thought Ron had done something to hurt Jean.

”I didn't do anything, okay?” Ron glanced at Jean slightly shaking his head and making his face innocent looking.

He couldn't say anything to make Maranda know about his feeling for her. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to meet Maranda again.

On understanding Ron's reaction, Jean gently nodded. Then she turned to Maranda and said, ”Maranda, please try to calm yourself. It's unwise of you to be angry on others without knowing the situation.”

”Jean, why are you taking Ron's side?” Maranda said angrily and then she folded her arms and her cheeks bulged in annoyance. She was not expecting her friend to support Ron.

”I am not taking any side.” Jean felt there was nothing she could do for her. So, Jean shook her head in frustration and said, ”I just feel bad when I see you acting with immature behavior.”

Maranda only heard the first part of the sentence, so immediately she was worried and asked Jean in an anxious voice, ”are you feeling uncomfortable? What is troubling you? Should I call a doctor for you?”

”I feel bad because of you!” Jean uttered with a sigh. She held Maranda's hand in her hand calmly and said, ”think twice before you say or do anything. You should take responsibility for your own decision. You should act sincerely. Otherwise it will be problematic for you in your future.”

”Oh! Everyone is here. It seems like a right time to come.”

Suddenly a voice from nowhere came.
