Chapter 504 Listen To Me This Time (1/2)
Zed grimaced in pain as Jean was unable to see from his perspective.
”Please listen to me this time. Try and stay away from him. Jean, I rarely ask you to do anything for me. Please understand my feelings about this. Please, Jean, take care and listen to me this time!”
Zed's continuous pleas surprised Jean.
'Maybe he really means what he says. He is saying this because he cares for me instead of treating this lightly.'
Jean became serious and thought over why Zed had been entreating her.
On the other hand, Zed looked at Jean in trepidation, waiting for an answer.
After what seemed like a long time, Jean looked down at her shoes and said,”Zed, you don't have to worry about this. I am not on intimate terms with Calvin. So, we won't meet each other often. Besides, I know you will always stay by my side no matter what happens.”
”But sometimes I can't keep you company. If Calvin invites you to go somewhere, you must not go out with him alone,” Zed warned Jean with a solemn look.
”It seems like Calvin is a beast, if I go by how you speak of him. Are you really afraid that he will eat me?” Jean joked playfully. ”Don't worry. I can tell whether a person is good or bad.”
”Jean…” Seeing that Jean had not promised him directly, Zed instantly shouted exasperated.
”Okay, I promise you. Whether Calvin wants to chat with me or invites me to go somewhere, I will refuse him without hesitation. Is that okay?” Seeing Zed so edgy, Jean gave in to his fears and compromised.
Zed was rather reassured after hearing Jean's promise.
”I am saying this not because I am too cautious. But…” Suddenly, Zed stopped mid-sentence.
Without saying anything more, Zed moaned in his heart.
'Jean, you will understand it sooner or later.'
”But what?” Seeing that Zed had stopped in the middle of his sentence, Jean's curiosity was stoked.
”But now you are pregnant. How can I not be cautious?” Zed quickly tried to cover it up.
Zed's being protective of their baby always brought a smile to Jean's face. She uttered,”I see. Since I am pregnant, you are more cautious for me. Don't worry! I will care about our baby as much as you do. I will protect our baby well.”
”Well, now that you echo my feelings this way, I feel relieved.” Zed finally had calmness overcome him. He looked at Jean serenely and asked,”Aren't you angry now?”
