Chapter 365 I Came To See You (1/2)

The sun shone on Jean's face, waking her up with a frown. She turned to her right side and as usual, she found that Zed had already gotten up early and left for work. She sat up a few moments later and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

Still feeling sleepy and a little lost, she slowly got out of bed, scratching her long and loose hair. She faced the huge glass window and stretched. Satisfied, she walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

The warm water relaxed her body. Since she had decided to go back to Wen Group, she knew she had to strike while the iron was still hot.

Besides, Grandpa Benjamin was still here in H City. She could imagine how he would violently react if she just hung around him, doing nothing but idle about in the room.

He was already tired of seeing her even just for a few minutes, how much more for days? She also felt uncomfortable around him, so going back to work gave her something else to get her busy.

Moreover, Grandpa Dan and Jesse were now around him.

Grandpa Benjamin wouldn't get bored even if Jean was not beside him.

As she finished washing herself, she wiped herself dry and walked out of the bathroom wearing a robe. She changed into a fresh and neat suit that made her look all the more professional. She lightly made her face up, and when she was finally contented of how she looked, she grabbed her bag and walked outside of the room.

When she arrived in the dining room, she saw Jesse shuffling between Grandpa Benjamin and Grandpa Dan. With a huge smile plastered on her face, she placed plates and containers filled with various kinds of food for breakfast in front of them on the table and served them gallantly.

Jesse's caring act made Jean a little disappointed about herself. She wanted to do something like that as well. Instead of showing her true emotions about the matter, she forced a smile at Jesse and to both Grandpa Benjamin and Grandpa Dan.

Although Jean couldn't help feeling that Jesse had ulterior motives, she wasn't the kind of person to have kindness without strings attached.

Then again, only Jean could see through Jesse's intentions. Even Zed couldn't imagine that someone like Jesse could turn out to be that kind of a person, let alone others.

As Jean approached the dining table, the harmonious atmosphere surrounding the room started to fade away. Silence filled the room instead.

Benjamin frowned. He remembered how Jean just suddenly left yesterday afternoon and returned home really late despite him being home already. He complained about her more now that she woke up later than anybody else in the house as if she could just go about her own set of manners.

With these thoughts in mind, he ignored her and sneered, lowering his head to give his full attention to the food in front of him. He didn't even acknowledge her presence.

On the other hand, Grandpa Dan was more polite than Grandpa Benjamin. He gave Jean a generous smile, greeting her,”Good morning, Jean. Come, join us for breakfast.”
