Chapter 382 Let Go Of Me! (2/2)
”Am I so treacherous in your heart, Jean?” Zed scowled at her for mentioning what had happened deep in the past. He felt so helpless at that moment that he didn't know what to do to make her listen. Shaking his head, he continued to say,”You don't want to listen to my explanation, so what should I do to make you believe in me again?”
Jean shook her head, as she felt her tears flow endlessly down her cheeks. ”Your efforts would be futile now. Regardless of whatever you do or say, nothing would bring back my trust for you anymore.” Closing her eyes, she kept shaking her head as she said those words, hoping that she could erase the awful scene that she had just witnessed a few minutes ago. However, her efforts could not prevail for it kept
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
pect that Jesse would be so miserable, after she told me that she would be leaving in two days and didn't know when we will meet again. She also told me that she was aware that it was her fault why we were always at stake, and for that she apologized before bidding me farewell,” he paused, looking down at Jean who was listening at him.
”To make up for all the troubles that she had caused us, she said that instead of leaving in two days, she would leave immediately. I saw in her eyes how tormented and wretched she felt that when she reached out her arms to hug me as goodbye I didn't think much about it and hugged her back. However, I really didn't expect that she… that she…”
Zed stopped, unable to finish his trail of words. Helplessly, he heaved a deep sigh and felt the awkward predicament he placed himself in. Seeing that Jean was still weeping, he continued to explain and left his previous sentence for her to finish. ”Jean, I know you don't want to believe in what I am saying right now, but you know that Jesse is outgoing and sociable, and since we grew up together to the point that we treated each other as siblings, perhaps, her action just meant that she was going to miss a brother in the form of myself. So, probably…”
Lifting her eyes to face Zed, Jean couldn't believe what he was telling her now. She scoffed, interrupting him, her eyebrows furrowing into a frown. She stared at him in great disbelief and asked,”Probably what?”
Zed took a moment to breathe before speaking whatever thoughts lingered in his mind at that very moment. ”Jesse probably didn't mean it that way. She treats me differently than you do.”
”Zed, can you hear yourself? Who are you trying to convince here, me or you?” Disappointment flashed on Jean's face as she kept her stare at his helpless eyes that had brimmed with tears a moment ago, but not enough to escape. With a now desperate look on her face, she sobbed,”I don't know why after all this time, you chose to close your eyes, heart and mind. Do I really have to tell it straight to your face that Jesse loves you romantically, and doesn't see you as her brother? Between the two of you, you are the only one who see her as a sister. Are you that na?ve? Can't you feel the way her heart raced when she kissed you in front of me?”
