Chapter 493 A Person With A Story (2/2)
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…
”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...
Moore was startled, but he soon got what he meant. He followed him silently and sighed. He sat down on one of the chairs across Zack and said,”So you are a person with a story.”
”Who doesn't have his own story nowadays? I don't think anyone be as innocent as a child.” Zack looked at Moore and sighed deeply before turning his attention away and into nothing in particular. Silence enveloped them as they were lost in thought. Not long after, Zack turned to Moore once more and said,”I heard from Zed that you are from the Bai family.”
Moore shrugged. ”I just got the name.”
Zack was surprised at his answer and smiled instantly. ”I'm starting to like you, Moore. I can't say how many people get out of their way to have connection with the Bai family. There are many more that I don't know of. And yet here you are. Instead, you try your best to keep as far from them as possible. You don't even conceal your contempt for them. It's difficult to find a person like you nowadays.” Zack shrugged.
”Do you think I'm stupid?” Moore asked rhetorically, his eyebrows creased.
”No, no, no! Don't take it the wrong way. I really like you,” Zack said in haste,”I don't have overflowing sympathy for anyone. I just meant what I said literally. You don't have to probe for a deeper meaning.”
As Moore pondered over his explanation, a smile formed on his face. ”Well, the feeling's mutual.”
Meanwhile, after Jean walked a couple of steps away from Moore and Zack, she looked at Zed and cleared her throat before speaking. ”Just so you know, I heard the Christina killed herself for you. I didn't want to ask you at the presence of Moore and Zack, and I certainly hate how you're keeping secrets from me. So, now you have to come clean, what the hell was that about?”
