Chapter 288 We Should Divorce (1/2)

Zed had clearly informed his bodyguards, Gregory and Terry, to stop Jean if she ever tried to enter the room or see him. But Jesse herself led her to him.

This made him very angry. He had never expected Jesse to take Jean's side.

He knew Jesse very well. She was stubborn and could be irrational at times. So he didn't even try to argue with her on this.

But Zed did not want to talk to Jean either. He feared the confrontation.

He was scared because he knew what she was going to say to him. She was standing right in front of him and was ready to tell him the decision she had made.

Zed just could not explain to Jean why he was refusing to see her all this time.

But he knew Jean. And he knew what she had come to tell him, even before she had entered the room.

The truth was, that Zed loved her. With all his might, he loved Jean and so he was scared of what she was going to say next.

In this whole situation, it was just Jesse who didn't know anything. And she was sitting in front of Zed, pleading with him to talk to Jean just once. He knew he could not refuse for too long. So finally, Zed said,” Jesse, could you please leave us alone for sometime? I'll speak to Jean.”

”Oh, but why?” Jesse was taken aback. She hadn't expected this. In fact she led Jean to Zed only because she wanted to be a part of this conversation.

She was so overwhelmed at Zed's reaction that even if she tried to say something, she could not muster the words.

She could not believe that Zed wanted a word with Jean privately.

”Just please give us a moment Jesse,” said Zed. He did not offer any explanations to her. He knew that she could not argue with him on this at all.

Unwillingly, Jesse got up and went out of the room.

She glared at Jean angrily and hoped that she could say something to change Zed's mind and let her sit. But she knew it wasn't going to happen.

After Jesse left, both Jean and Zed became very awkward. The atmosphere was tense as they were together alone.

Zed turned to his laptop and started working, ignoring her completely. Jean sat there awkwardly, while Zed behaved like she didn't exist.
