Chapter 765 You Were Not Being A True Friend (1/2)

”Yes, you're absolutely right. Don't worry at all. Maranda has confirmed you are the only one in her heart now,” Jean said and giggled, teasing Ron.

”Yeah, yeah, I know that,” said Ron, shaking his head on the other side of the phone. ”Okay, it's about time, I guess. I'll go ask Maranda to get dressed and meet you, cool?”

”Sounds like a plan. I'll wait for her at home,” Jean said in a sing-song voice.

She put the phone to her chest and beamed, thinking of her own brilliance.

But in no time, her delight was replaced by the sorrow of separation that was due.

Luckily, Maranda arrived soon, not giving Jean enough time to get overly anxious.

Jean said a quick goodbye to Zed, planting a small kiss on his lips and walked out to the driveway where Maranda waited for her in the car. It was unusual for her to have driven alone. Together, they headed towards the airport.

”Jean, why didn't you call me directly? I don't think it's good for Ron to know,” Maranda asked as she drove.

”It's no big deal. You've already told him about John. Besides, I believe Ron is a really nice guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you leave the wedding to see John off,” Jean reassured, grinning in Maranda's direction.

Maranda kept quiet, reconsidering something in her mind. ”Actually, I had told Ron about John back when we weren't even together. In fact, I was trying to get rid of him at that time by introducing John.” She sighed and then continued, ”In the end, you somehow run into those you thought you didn't care about at first. One can never foresee how feelings change. Back then, I cared so much about John, but now...”

Maranda sighed in resignation.

”That was before. Just let it go. I am sure Ron is a tolerant man. However he might have gotten to know about John, he let you come on such an important day is what counts.”

Jean admired how considerate he was and how much he respected Maranda.

”Yes, this is why I was so shocked when he told me John was leaving tonight. Can you imagine? Ron telling me this, out of all people? He suggested I go see him one last time. I almost couldn't believe my ears!”
