Chapter 440 Listen To Me (2/2)
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
”You are inexperienced in bed,” he said coldly.
”You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce,” Jean replied furiously.
”Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about,” he sneered.
once it's settled.”
”Why should I do that?” Anger rose from Jean at once. ”She can wait for me as long as she wants. Why should I avoid her? I'll just ignore her when I see her, so why should I hide from her?”
”Jean, please,” Zed begged with a hint of helplessness in his voice. ”Listen to me this time, all right? Shirley is in the custody of the police now, and nobody can see her by law. That's why Joy wants to talk to you desperately. Listen to me, okay? I don't want to be angry with you, and most importantly, I don't want you to get hurt ever again.”
Hearing Zed's soothing words, Jean slowly calmed down as she replied, sighing in defeat,”Okay, fine. I'll listen to you this time, but no more next time. I will definitely not compromise anymore.”
Zed sighed in relief and smiled at once. He knew that Jean would still agree with him in the future despite what she said. Besides, all he decided to do was for her safety and security. He wasn't willing to make any compromises for that. ”Good. It's nice of you to make a compromise. Have fun with Moore! I'll pick you up later as soon as I finish dealing with Joy.”
Jean instantly spoke before Zed could end the call,”You don't have to pick me up. Toby is with us. He can drive us home. You must be tired from today's work. Zed, honestly, I feel bad knowing that you have to process everything after all the troubles they have caused. That's supposed to be my responsibility.” With a heavy heart, Jean apologized on the phone.
”What are you talking about, Jean? I'm your husband. It's my duty to solve your problem, so don't apologize ever again, or I will get angry.” Zed pretended to be angry on purpose, acting out with a frown on his face. Jean couldn't help but smile at this.
”Thank you, Zed. Well then, take care of yourself. May I also remind you to never pity Joy. Just do what you need to do.” Jean reminded him with concern in her voice before she ended the call, looking out into the horizon.
