Chapter 381 A Kiss (1/2)
Zed smiled, patted her hand to comfort her and slowly walked outside.
In the dining room, there was only Benjamin and Jean now. In silence, both of them ate together.
”Grandpa, let me help you pick out the fish bones,” Jean said, breaking the silence. In truth, the silence made her feel quite uncomfortable.
Benjamin, finding her question stupid, looked at her angrily. ”Do you have time to pick out the fish bones here? Just go with him!”
”Grandpa, there's no need,” Jean said in a casual tone while picking out the fish bones carefully. ”If I don't have faith in him then it means I don't deserve to be his wife. Furthermore, Jesse has been in his life for ages, so this is not something new. Hence even if she cries, it won't change anything.”
”But you are very concerned about their relationship,” Benjamin said and fell into silence.
”No grandpa, I am not. I was, but not anymore. I am trying my best to overcome it. In fact, I am getting used to it.” Jean slightly shook her head.
”You mean Jesse often does that?” Benjamin furrowed upon hearing.
”I mean it is the first time that she has cried. But she often puts a different mask in front of me,” Jean replied, not looking scared.
”How can you tolerate it?” Benjamin asked incredulously.
”I have to because I have no other choice. Grandpa, you know how Zed treats her. Every time I try to question her character, Zed gets angry with me. If it weren't for your help yesterday, I wouldn't have managed to make things better.” Jean handed the de-boned fish to Benjamin. On close inspection, Benjamin noticed her face darken.
”You have suffered, my dear.” Benjamin said while he took the dish and passed her an encouraging smile. ”Since it is her first time she is crying, you should take care of her as a hostess. Go ahead! I do not need your service here. What I am saying is that you should be with Zed wherever he goes.”
