Chapter 913 The Exception (1/2)

”Well, you know, Julie has a very great personality. Besides that, she is pretty and well-shaped. Given all her qualities, I'm certain that a lot of men are dreaming to be with her,” Jean casually said. As she was speaking, she took a quick glance at Zed by the corner of her eyes to see how he was going to react with what she just said.

However, she wasn't able to gain any reaction besides a poker face. ”She is okay,” Zed replied cheaply. Lifting her legs up from the basin, Zed continued, ”All right, I am going to pour the water, while you take some rest.”

As soon as Zed left, Jean could not help but drown in worry.

She heaved a deep sigh before putting on her slippers and walked towards the bathroom, making sure to close the door behind her. She stood in front of the mirror and took a good look at herself. She knew that she wasn't on her best self. Then again, as she placed her hands on both of her sides and saw how skinny and pale she was, she realized that it was clear how this was not her best.

”Is this how Zed sees me every day? If so, I look awful…” Jean mumbled to herself. Then, she placed her hands on both sides of her pale face and wondered how long it had been since the last time she dressed herself up nicely. It had been quite a while now since she locked herself in the house and tortured both of them.

Once more, Jean heaved another deep sigh before she walked out of the bathroom. As she closed the door behind her, she saw Zed right next to the window with a phone on his hand. He was so focused on his phone that he didn't even acknowledge Jean as she came out of the bathroom. Her eyebrows furrowed into a frown, which Zed did not notice as well. She sighed and walked towards the bed, then she lay down at her side with her back facing Zed. A lot of thoughts filled her mind, and as she drifted to slumber, all she could think about was how Zed let her sleep with a heavy heart.

As the sun shone from the window the next morning, Jean fluttered her eyes and opened them slowly. Out of habit, she turned and reached out her hand to try to touch the man, who slept right next to her. However, he was gone like yesterday.

Jean slowly sat up, lingering her eyes on the empty space beside her for a moment. She landed her eyes on the bedside table where a note was placed on top of it.

She didn't reach for the note because she already knew what was in it. Instead, she could not help but sigh. She turned towards her side of the bed and reached for her phone before lying down once more. She opened WeChat to pass the time. As she continued to scroll down on her WeChat Moments, Julie's new post appeared. Jean lingered on the post.

”A new day, a new start! Let's go!” The post read, which was followed by a very sexy selfie.

As Jean stared at the picture and started to feel insecure, a new thumb up appeared below it. Her eyes widened in surprise after seeing Zed's name.

Jean's mind turned completely blank.

She knew that Zed was never a fan of WeChat, so she couldn't believe that he actually had time
