Chapter 699 Visiting Shirley In Prison (1/2)

Zed sat, eyeing Jean with a worried face, the dim glow from the streetlight casting a yellow glow about her face. He didn't know whether he should say something to stop her plan to deal with Juan. But he was afraid of making her angry. Night had fallen and he could see how she struggled to sleep but her head was full of endless thoughts.

Left with no choice, he gave up the struggle of deciding what to say after a while and decided to tackle it later.

About 7 in the morning, Jean got up from deep slumber by a phone call. Groggily, she picked up and said Hello but no one answered. She felt disoriented, unsure whether she had been dreaming of something or not in her sleep.

Nevertheless, she decided to go downstairs and start the day.

She abruptly stopped rubbing her eyes with the silk gown she was wearing when she spotted Juan sitting impatiently on the living room sofa, dressed neatly in a white shirt and grey pants. He got up as soon as their eyes met. ”Tina's plane will arrive tonight at 12, Jean,” he said hastily. ”So, for you to have more time and energy to make her leave me, I asked Zed to arrange for your stepmother to meet her daughter this morning. You need to have breakfast quickly, and then we'll pick your stepmother up, okay?”

She just looked at Juan in shock.

She wondered if Juan had really asked Zed to arrange the meeting. She didn't see a chance of Zed skipping to tell her about it, if he had.

And it definitely wasn't arranged earlier, so the only logical explanation was that Juan arranged it secretly last night.

'What makes him lie about Zed arranging it?' she thought. She found such plain lies extremely irritating, especially coming from Zed's friend.

Did he really think he could deceive her like this?

Jean didn't comment on it yet, instead yawned and followed Juan into the dining room.

They ate, mostly quiet as the morning sunlight encompassed them in a peaceful silence. She quickly got ready after that and Juan anyway looked more than ready to leave since she first saw him.

”Well, let's go!” Jean said, leading him out towards the parking. She sat in silence in the car, occasionally smiling faintly which was beyond Juan to unde

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
