Chapter 387 Lets Get Out Of Here (1/2)

”Jean, are you standing up for me now?” asked Moore in a quiet tone. Looking at Jean's beautiful profile, he felt her anger oozing out of her body.

Hearing his words, Jean stopped all of a sudden and turned to Moore. Seeing the calm look on his face, she didn't know how to react. ”Moore, let's talk about this later. We have to get out of here right now,” she said hastily.

”Where are you off to?” asked Moore.

With her eyes widened in shock, Jean looked at Moore. ”Moore, just don't tell me that you are going to take his dole because of me.”

”This is not a dole,” replied Moore with a serious look on his face. ”Do you think that I would be able to cut all the connections with him by refusing to take his house? No, I don't think so. Judging from all the work he's put into the decoration of this apartment, I don't think he would give up on me that easy,” said Moore.

”So? What are you gonna do now? Take this apartment and then forgive him?” asked Jean. She was kind of confused by what Moore had said just now and really wished to know about his true feelings.

”Jean……” said Moore with a sigh. Words failed him and he looked at Jean for a few seconds. Slowly, he continued,”I have to accept it. I mean do you think I have any other choice? At the very least, I am safe here. It's heavily guarded here and therefore, no one could walk in here easily and bother me. Instead of trying so hard to avoid the Bai family, maybe it'd better for me to rest here before my injury gets healed. Meanwhile, I won't be disturbed by others. And, most importantly, we do need a place to stay right now.”

Deep down, Jean knew that Moore had a point.

Yet she found it hard to believe that Moore would take Gary's dole this easily.

Back in the hospital, she remembered Moore's proud look when he refuted Hanley. But only a few days later, Moore seemed to change his attitude towards the Bai family. 'What is happening?' she wondered.

'Maybe he is keeping this house for me, ' thought Jean. This realization struck her hard.

He had tried hard to persuade her to stay here because he was too afraid she would be without a house. Her safety was his number one priority.

'Moore……'

Jean cried internally feeling a sudden ache in her heart.

”Are you really sure this is what you want? Moore, I really don't want you to violate your principles because of me. Please don't abandon your scruples or forget your original intention. Listen to me, Moore, you can do whatever you want and don't change for anyone. As for me, I can stay in the hotel……”

Before Jean could finish her words, Moore interrupted with a smile on his face. ”Jean, you don't have to think so much about this. There is no way of escaping their offers. I don't think they will give up anytime soon

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
