Chapter 276 You Are So Silly (2/2)

”I don’t want a divorce!”

”I did no such thing!”

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

affected by the grief in Jon's words, she then raised her head and looked up at him perplexedly. She was surprised to hear so much sentiments in John's voice.

”I want to say it neither for making you feel bothered, nor for asking anything from you in return. I am just saying it solely because I want you to know about my feelings. And I can't take it any longer. These words have been hiding inside my heart for too long, it's just too long.”

John kept his eyes fastened on Jean's and said softly as his heart was aching to say the words to Jean.

”John, since you have hidden it for so long, why don't you keep it buried in your heart for more time? I think this is not the right time for these talks.” Jean didn't wait for John to continue and reproached him. ”Maybe you will get hurt after you speak it out loud. And it will be more painful for you then.”

”I am telling you, I don't wish you to give me anything in return, and I will not embarrass you either.” John replied firmly.

”Then why are you doing this? Are you trying to comfort me, an abandoned little poor woman?” Jean smiled bitterly all of a sudden as she asked him. She was feeling pity on herself and was expecting that John was also saying this out of pity on her.

”If Zed truly loved you and took care of you wholeheartedly, and as long as you felt happy, I would not have planned to say it.” A light smile appeared on John's face as he looked at Jean and continued, ”But now, you are so weak and you need a man to take care of you. I don't wish for anything from you. I just hope that you can allow me to take care of you. Even though I'm not that tough, I still wish to be the man staying by your side when you need someone to accompany you. And I know, I won't disappoint you.”

John stared at Jean eagerly with hope in his eyes as he spoke softly in a swearing-like tone.

Jean was really moved by John's plain yet touching words. She had never imagined that behind the cold and solemn appearance, John actually had an unexpectedly strong feeling of emotions in his heart.

”John, you are so silly.” Rims of Jean's eye turned red suddenly. She looked at John with her watering eyes and murmured in a kind tone.

”I know, but there is no way back. I have already been deeply in love with you, without any regrets!” Jean finally spoke out the words he had been hiding in heart for so long in a strongly committed tone.
