Chapter 979 I Let You Down (1/2)

After a long passionate kiss, Jean was left breathless and flushed all over. A few minutes later, she finally caught her breath and lay in Zed's arms.

”You're so rude. My lips hurt.”

”It's because you've been giving me the silent treatment for so long. This is just the beginning. There are more severe punishments for you later.” With that, he pressed his forehead to hers.

There was a fire burning inside of him, and he couldn't stand it any longer. The wound on his neck gave him some grief from time to time, but he wasn't thinking about the pain at this moment. They haven't made love since Jean had miscarried and Zed was on the verge of the breaking point.

Jean could sense his longing for her and didn't have the heart to reject him. So she lay meekly on the bed at his disposal.

She closed her eyes, thinking it might be a good opportunity for them to restore the intimacy in their relationship again.

Up until now, she had been resisting any intimacy with Zed in fear of falling
