Chapter 870 Lets Wait And See (1/2)

At that time, Zed remembered what Elizabeth announced in front of Jean and him that morning. She said that as long as Kirk didn't abandon her, she wouldn't leave him.

Although her words made Zed pleasantly surprised, her true intentions really worried him.

Zed had always believed in a woman's intuition.

Jean was iffy when she first encountered Elizabeth because she had sensed that Elizabeth had feelings for her husband.

It turned out that she was right.

Who would have expected that after so many years, Elizabeth was actually obsessed with Zed?

She was going to be his cousin-in-law soon. In a week's time, to be exact. The last thing Zed wanted was for something to go horribly wrong.

When he was about to turn around and enter his bedroom, the door opposite Kirk's bedroom suddenly opened. Elizabeth emerged, wearing a white, tulle nightdress.

At the sight of her, he deliberately quickened his pace, all the while keeping his head down.

”Zed...” Elizabeth called out after him. Of course she wouldn't miss this chance to get close to him.

Zed sighed helplessly. Looking at her, he asked in a displeased tone, ”Well, it's so late now. Why are you still up?”

”I can't sleep. Can you talk to me for a while?”

Elizabeth looked at Zed and asked sweetly.

Upon hearing Elizabeth's request, Zed's face fell into a frown. ”It's late,” he said coldly. ”And Jean is waiting for me in our bedroom. Besides, you are going to be my cousin-in-law. It is inappropriate for us to be alone together at this hour.”

”Zed, Come on. Don't avoid me,” Elizabeth begged. She gave a little pout, looking at Zed with her big, bright eyes. ”And don't keep addressing me as your cousin-in-law. After all, Kirk and I are not married yet. So you can just call me Elizabeth for now,” she said with a sly smile.

Zed's jaw tightened, his eyes cold and piercing. ”Elizabeth, I don't care why you agreed to marry Kirk. But right now you're not allowed to back away from this wedding. If you keep your slate clean and live a happy life together with him, then I'll be grateful to you.
