Chapter 1010 Donst Leave Me (2/2)

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

gently, as if she was made of glass and would shatter with the slightest force. Tears fell down her cheeks, like two broken lines of crystals.

Zed felt even more conflicted at the sight of her crying. He was at a loss for a moment, and even regretted what he had said to Jean last night.

”Jean, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I... I...”

His voice trailed off. He did not know what else to say even when he so desperately wanted to comfort her.

She kept sobbing.

Jean rushed into his arms and buried her head in his chest. She was crying uncontrollably, her sobs wracking her shoulders as she struggled for air. Zed was silent, running a hand down her hair and shoulders as he let her cry.

It was some time before she calmed down. ”I'm fine,” she said, not meeting his eyes. ”Let's just forget what happened today. I…” she paused, as if unsure of how to continue. ”Thank you,” she said even more softly. ”If it weren't for you, I don't know what would've happened to me.”

Zed's face turned serious at the mention of the man from last night. He lifted Jean's face until she was looking at him straight in the eyes. ”Jean, please promise me that no matter what happens, you won't ever leave me again. You can hit me, scream at me, or even curse me. I'll take all of it.” He reached out and took her hand, kissing her fingers. ”Just please don't leave. I'll go mad with worry if you're not beside me.”
