Chapter 500 See You Again, Calvin (1/2)

”Don't worry, Jean. This is not as big or serious a deal as you are making it out to be. My parents won't get angry with you. It's a trifle, really. You can believe me. If something goes wrong, you can come to me to sort it out.” Seeing Jean get more and more worked up as she delved into the topic, Zed quickly tried to comfort her.

”I didn't say that father and mother are petty, but in my heart I have been uncomfortable about leaving them behind like this. And I can't cross that line of thought.” Jean sighed.

”Well, don't think too much.” Zed too shrugged his shoulders seeing the conversation not going anywhere. ”My parents understand us. They also know that I hardly get time to go out with you. Naturally, they don't want us to waste our weekends just staying at home with them. Besides, they know you're pregnant, and keeping a pregnant woman happy is most important.

Well, let's just go to the resort for one day and come back tomorrow afternoon. This way, we can stay at home with my parents for a day before they return to the Imperial Capital. What do you think of that?” Zed looked at Jean and suggested a middle ground.

Suddenly, Jean beamed with hope. Zed had seen through her misery and given her the perfect way to do both. ”That's a good idea! We'll come back tomorrow so that I won't upset Maranda or displease your parents,” She looked at Zed and said.

”Even if we don't go back tomorrow, you won't offend my parents. I just don't want you to feel sorry and guilty about this,” Zed told her affectionately.

”Well, no matter what the ultimate goal is, it's decided.” Jean cast her grumpiness aside, and was now in a completely upbeat mood.

Zed couldn't help but chuckle at this. He drove in silence and he had his eyes glued to the road until they reached the high-speed intersection where Maranda was supposed to be waiting for them.

Once they were there, they saw five cars parked on the curbside. With many a young man and woman gathered together, they looked like a picture of youth and happiness.

As Jean's car parked next to the group, she too looked visibly excited.

Especially when Maranda came running towards her, Jean's face broke into peals of laughter.

”Maranda...” Jean greeted her in good cheer. But jus

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”
