Chapter 383 Jesse Loves You (1/2)
”Look Zed! This might work well with other people you've met in your life, but not everyone likes to be kept in the dark and live with lies. Now I don't know how you feel for that girl, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that almost everyone around you can clearly see how and how much she feels for you. For God's sake Zed, she admitted to my face that she loved you!”
”No... Jean, stop pulling my leg...” Zed shook his head heavily. He clearly couldn't or didn't want to believe what Jean was saying as was evident from the doubts that shrouded his face. ”How can she be in love with me? How is that even possible? You must have mistaken her words.”
Hearing that, Jean even felt somewhat sorry for him because of his blunt refusal.
She thought to herself, 'Why is he so afraid to face the truth that Jesse loves him? Why does he keep dodging it?
If he accepts his feelings for that wretched woman, denies me his love, and tells me that he is sorry he kept me in the dark, then also I'll be in much better shape than I am in now!'
Disappointed, she looked at Zed who was clearly panicking, and told him in her sad yet cold voice,”Zed, I am going to give you some time to think clearly about your real feeling for her. You'll also be able to understand how she feels about you. I will give you three days. And after that, I want to hear your answer. Then and only then can we make a final decision about our future life.”
Jean couldn't stand this sorrowful game of lies anymore. She had been tolerant enough about almost everything in the past only because she cared so much about Zed and their marriage.
But she wasn't going to let Jesse hurt her again and again.
Jean made up her mind and thought, 'No, I will never give her another opportunity to hurt me anymore. I have been so silly in the past but now, I have to live a different life and be strong.'
”No...” Zed raised his head with a great flurry. He looked at Jean in a loving sort of way and hurriedly told her,”Jean, please don't leave me. You don't have to dump me like this. You don't even have to wait for any amount of time to understand my feelings. I don't care what Jesse feels about me. I love you and you only. You're the only person I want in my life.”
Jean looked up into his eyes and noticed that he was still quite flurried. From her eyes, it was clear that she felt sorry and pitiful for him.
In the H City, many people considered Zed to be the famous and indifferent Mr. Qi. However, they didn't know that he was as naive and ignorant as a child when dealing with matters of the heart.
”I have already decided that I am going away for three days so that we can deal with our own matters and think about our relationship. And so I shall do!” Jean dec
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
