Chapter 397 I Will Not Go Back To You Anymore (1/2)

After hearing Jean's words, Zed suddenly became anxious. Sweat started to trickle down his temples despite the icy cold sting that run down his spine. ”No, it's not like what you think it is,” he said.

Jean narrowed her eyes at him. ”Then, tell me, what is it like?” She asked mockingly. ”Did you really think that you can persuade me with that excuse? That you both have just been friends ever since childhood? Zed, you have to know that I don't buy it now.” She shook her head in complete disbelief.

”Jean.” Zed muttered in despair, looking at her with pleading eyes.

”Don't look at me like that. You brought this to us, and I told you, we both needed this break to think and to cool down. I hope you won't show your face in front of me in the next two days, Zed.”

Satisfied, Jean looked at him with a straight face and turned to leave.

Panic started to course through Zed, tightening his grip around Jean's hand, making Jean look at her hand and into Zed with a frown.

”You're still mad at me, and I can't let you leave feeling that way,” Zed said with a grave expression.

'I'm sorry, Jean, but if I let you leave now, then I won't have any opportunity to make it up for you, ' he thought as he stared at Jean's grim face.

They were together for enough time for Zed to get to know her very well. He knew that she was the type of person who didn't get angry easily, but now that she was angry at him, it would be difficult for him to sway her and change her mind right away. It would take time, but he was willing to risk.

Jean frowned in frustration as she felt Zed's unwillingness to let go of her hand. She looked at her hand and back at him. ”Zed, are you a man or not? Let go of my hand!”

”No. You are my wife, and we still have misunderstanding to talk about, so I can't let you leave,” Zed said with determination in his eyes. As Jean struggled, he held on to her more.

Instead of getting more furious, Jean started to chuckle and stop forcing her hand out of Zed's grasp. ”Oh, Zed, cut it off. It's not working anymore. Nothing will make me ever listen to you. Regardless of whether or not you want to let me go, I will still go.”

Zed's eyes widened in shock at how decided Jean sounded. He saw determination in her eyes that couldn't seem to outmatch. Panic rose through him again. ”Jean, why are you so heartless? Jesse is already gone out of our lives, so why won't you still forgive me?”
