Chapter 450 The Sound Of Flesh Splitting (2/2)
”I don’t want a divorce!”
”I don’t want a divorce!”
”I did no such thing!”
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
h a smile. ”Well, my grandpa was a soldier. He influenced me and my father to join the military once. Later on, my father wanted me to inherit his company, so that he would take a break and have time to take my mother with him and travel around the world. I was reluctant at first, but I accepted his arrangement in the end.”
”Oh, so that's why!” Moore smiled and nodded his head as he turned to Jean and said,”Jean, I'm tired. I think I will call it a night. I'll give you two some time alone and go upstairs first.”
Before he could finish his words, Moore was already turning around to retreat upstairs.
Jean watched Moore disappear from the stairs before turning to Zed with an eyebrow raised. Still angry, she questioned,”Is what you just said true?”
”Of course. Why would I lie about that?” Looking into Jean's eyes, Zed nodded his head with a smile.
Jean still didn't believe Zed and continued to interrogate him. ”Didn't you tell me that you and your grandpa made a deal that you will go back to Imperial Capital sooner or later?”
”Yes, I did. When things are settled here, I'll take you to Imperial Capital to visit my grandpa, and I will deal with the issues remaining there while we are on the place.” Zed nodded his head again as he calmly answered her questions.
Jean only noticed then that her anger had started to slowly fade away, but after hearing what Zed had said, her eyebrows furrowed into a frown. ”How come it's so complicated?”
”It's fine. It only takes some time to get used to. It won't take too long. I promise. If you want to stay there, then we will just stay there.” Zed stood up and moved towards Jean. He embraced her in his arms tightly but enough to let her breathe. He smiled as he felt Jean hug him back. With a sigh of relief, he said,”Don't be angry with me anymore, alright? I'm sorry, but like you said, I have known Toby for a long while now. If I didn't punish him, he will just succumb to regret for not being able to protect you and still would suffer either way. Only after I punished him will he set himself free from the guilt that was already deep embedded in his heart the very moment Joy laid a hand on you.”
