Chapter 333 I Think That You Have Changed (1/2)
”Fine, then. I am really very tired. I am going to rest.” After she finished saying so, Jean closed her eyes slowly.
Zed watched the growing fatigue on Jean's beautiful face. Although he had been ignored by her, unprecedented contentment consumed him.
Now seeing the extent of her tiredness, Zed realized life must have been really hard for her in the past few days.
Just when he was deep in his thoughts and concerned for Jean, a heavy knock on the door interrupted him from his contemplation.
Zed frowned but was relieved to notice that Jean was not awakened by the noise. Quickly, he ran near the door not wanting the person to knock anymore.
When Zed opened the door and found it was Jesse, the impatient look was immediately wiped off. In a low voice, he asked,”Have my grandfather and your grandfather already slept?”
”Yes.” Then she waited for a second before she asked,”Where is Jean?”
”She has fallen asleep.” Zed gave a glance at Jean and then turned to look at Jesse. ”What did you want to see me for?”
”Let's talk outside!” Jesse said in a gentle tone waiting for Zed's reaction.
”Ok,” Zed said and nodded in agreement. He walked out and closed the door slightly so as not to wake Jean from her nap.
His care for Jean didn't go unnoticed by Jesse who felt a sharp bitterness.
Finally, the two started to move toward the garden. There were hundreds of thousands of colorful flowers growing there, creating a vivid and attractive scenery. Jesse looked at those beautiful flowers and admired them for a while. Turning back, she finally said,”Zed, I will be back to the Imperial Capital with my grandfather this time. Will Jean accompany you there then?”
”We won't be there that soon. We can only leave once the matter here is solved. If it is alright then I'd love to stay here with Jean.” Zed kept silent for a few seconds and then sighed heavily.
”But your grandfather's intention and attitude is rather clear. I can't believe you don't know that. He helped you solve this problem hoping that you and Jean can quickly go back to the Imperial Capital,” Jesse said reminding him about his grandpa's intention.
”I know.” Again, Zed sighed heavily before speaking,”But I still hope that I can sit down and have a good talk with my grandfather. I hope that I can make him give up this plan.”
”Zed, do you hate Imperial Capital so much? If you don't come to Imperial Capital then it is going to be really hard for us to meet,” Jesse said sounding disappointed. She was very upset by Zed's reaction.
