Chapter 520 You Can Confess Now (1/2)
”I was bored in the tent, so I came out for a walk. And then I met you two here,” replied Calvin with a smile on his face. Realizing Jean's silence at this moment, he added, ”Jean, you really impress me with the big favor you have done for Maranda and Ron. You are quite a brave girl. And now I have come to see that you're so articulate. I will stop hiding things from you in the future because I'm afraid that you will cross-examine me and figure it out. Isn't it true?” As Calvin was speaking, a playful look came over his face.
”Well, I don't think I am as good as you think,” said Jean with a vague smile. She looked up at Calvin and with a quick shift in her thought and continued, ”Anyway, thanks for your appreciation.

Meanwhile, Calvin kept his eyes on Jean for quite a while and he struggled for a proper reply. Then his face lit up with a smile and he replied finally, ”Sure.”
With a confused look on her face, Maranda looked at Jean for a few seconds, and then looked back at Calvin. She had a hard time trying to understand what their conversation meant. Moreover, she felt something must be wrong with both of them.
Yet she did not know what exactly their problem was.
”All right, let's go back to the tents. We've been out for long enough. Hurry back or Zed will be worried,” Maranda said hastily and was about to move. Seeing that their conversation seeme
