Chapter 379 I Trust You (1/2)

'So, he knows clearly what Jesse has done.

Then why didn't he stop Jesse?

Instead, he is listening to her.'

Realizing that Benjamin did not like her, Jean felt uneasy. ”What did grandpa say to you?” Jean asked, looking at Zed straight into his eyes.

”Grandpa asked me to explain everything carefully to you. And he told me to maintain a distance in my relationship with Jesse since I am your husband.” Being straightforward, Zed saw no need of hiding anything from Jean. ”When Benjamin spoke those words, I reflected upon it. I realize it was my mistake and I should take full responsibility for making you misunderstand our relationship. I will be careful in the future.”

Knowing what Benjamin has said, Jean felt even more puzzled.

'According to Zed, grandpa is taking my side.

Why?

Doesn't he dislike me?

Why is he helping me by telling Zed the right thing to do?

Is it because Zed told grandpa that he loves me? Did he also tell grandpa that he considers Jesse as his little sister?

I really need to understand what is going on!'

Thinking of this, Jean suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Calmly, she looked at Zed, feeling hard to form the words.

”Zed, I want to ask you a question. I hope you won't be angry,” Jean said, in a patient tone.

Seeing Jean's serious face, he could not help nodding. ”Okay, go ahead and ask.”

”You just said that grandpa has misunderstood the relationship between Jesse and you. And you have realized that it was due to your behavior and words. Since even grandpa has been misled, don't you think Jesse…”

”Jesse won't be misled,” Zed said, interrupting Jean from speaking. Feeling guilty, Zed confidently smiled at her making her realize he didn't intend to be rude. ”Definitely, Jesse won't misunderstand the relationship between us. She knows clearly that she is my little sister while I am her brother,” Zed continued, in the same calm tone.

”Why are you sure about this? After growing up, you both didn't hang out much. So why are you so confident that she still knows you well?” Jean asked, looking puzzled at his confidence.

”I don't know how to explain this kind of thing to you.” Zed shook his head with a bitter smile. ”But I can assure you that Jesse will not misunderstand our relationship.”

Hearing that, Jean had no choice but to stop. 'He won't listen to me, ' Jean thought.
