Chapter 938 Zeds Warning (1/2)

Completely lost in thought, Jean was startled by a knock on the car window.

She lifted her head and looked out of the window to see James standing outside the car with a smile.

She slipped her phone back in her pocket instantly and turned towards the door. James moved aside and opened the door. The moment it opened, the smell of meat wafted through Jean's nose.

She got out of the car and looked towards the direction of where the smell came from. To her surprise, she saw a grill. Her eyes immediately lit up with delight as she saw the grill with smoke coming out of it. She turned to James with a huge smile on her face and asked, ”Are you barbecuing?”

”Yeah, well, you were sleeping soundly, so I did not bother to wake you up. While you were asleep, I prepared some meat. Care to join me?” James invited, patting Jean's shoulder lightly. With that invitation, Jean nodded in delight. James smiled back at her and said, ”Well then, come with me. Delicious food makes people happy.”

A small smile rose from the corner of Jean's lips. She followed James towards the grill and sat on the bench, while James moved towards the grill turning the various meat cuts the other side.

After a short while, the meat was finally ready to eat. James placed it on a plate, bringing it on the table and taking the seat opposite to Jean. They started to dig in and drank beer to push the food down. They talked from time to time as they enjoyed their gourmet. With this simple dinner out, Jean's attention was completely diverted from her cell phone.

Meanwhile, after parting with Julie, Zed directly headed home.

Parking the car in the garage, he noticed that all of the lights inside the house were off. All of a sudden, his mood fell even deeper. Feeling ultimately dispirited, he got out of this car and opened the door, turning the lights on as he moved.

He stopped and stood still in the middle of the living room. He glanced around the empty house and sank deep in thought. 'When I didn't go to work, I kept her company at home, and although there were times when she was in low spirits, we both got on well without quarrels or mistrust.

I thought that she had moved on and let go of our unborn baby slowly. When she gets better, I plan to have another baby. That way, our house would not be as empty as this, and we would be as happy as before.

However, it seems like things did not go as I expected. What happened? What went wrong?'

With these thoughts lingering in his mind, Zed could not help but heave a very deep sigh.

Zed turned towards the clock. It was really getting late. Worried about Jean's whereabouts, he grabbed his phone and gave her a call.

After three rings, the person on the other end of the line picked up the phone.

However, Zed was surprised that it was a man who answered the phone. He turned to look at his phone to check if he really dialed Jean's number.
