Chapter 277 Why Do You Bother Yourself Like This (1/2)

Jean was completely stunned listening to John's confession. It came unexpectedly.

Jean always treated him as one of her colleagues and nothing more.

To be very honest, she barely interacted with him in the past. It was only after Maranda fell in love with John that Jean had dealt with him properly.

Today, John's confession was made in a very serious manner and it put Jean off guard. Jean seemed to have understood something for a brief second. But after further thought, she still felt confused thinking why John had any affection for her.

Before John's confession, Jean forced herself not to indulge in wild thoughts of John's feelings for her. She feared and blamed overthinking.

But when she heard John say that he had already been deeply in love with her, without any regrets, she was stunned.

I really felt shy, uneasy and embarrassed hearing your confession. I really don't know how to react to such confessions, so please don't take me wrong.”

”That's okay.” After Jean's further explanation, the melancholy on John's face was dispelled in a matter of seconds. It was replaced by a smile. Relaxed, John said, ”As I have just mentioned, I don't want my affection for you to bother you, but I really hope that you can trust me.”

”Okay, ” Jean nodded and said apologetically, ”John, thanks a lot for your love. But I can't accept it. I am really sorry...”
