Chapter 411 - Jeans Five Fans (2/2)

”My Mona Lisa! What else?” Marion grumbled. She pointed to the wall behind her, ”That's the painting. You can take it anytime. I made a promise.”

”Eh?” Jean suddenly became uncomfortable, ”I was just joking about the painting. After all, we haven't succeeded yet - Lauriel hasn't openly stated that he likes you.”

Marion frowned, ”So you were not serious???”

”The agreement was that you will give me the Mona Lisa painting if I help you make Lauriel fall in love with you,” Jean said again.

”Hmm ... I changed my mind,” Marion said firmly. ”Tonight I feel enlightened. I think that I don't actually love Lauriel. My feelings for him for the past 100 years was just admiration. So now I no longer need to make Lauriel fall in love with me.”

”Oh ...” Jean didn't know what to say. ”Well, if you say so.”

”When do you want to take the painting?” Marion asked again.

Jean shook his head, ”I will not take your painting. I helped you sincerely. I was only joking about being paid for with the Mona Lisa painting. You can keep it. I think it should be owned by someone who can appreciate it well.”

Marion was stunned to hear that. Seriously? Jean refused one of the most expensive paintings in the world in return for his help?

Unbelievable!

”Alright then.” Marion spontaneously got up and kissed Jean's cheek, ”You're so kind.”

”Thank you,” said Jean, closing his eyes when Marion's lips kissed his right cheek.

For a moment Marion stared at the handsome face of the man who had  sincerely treated her as a girlfriend without expecting anything in return. Marion subconsciously moved her lips slightly to the right and touched Jean's lips with hers. Then, she kissed him on the lips.

Jean opened his eyes in surprise, and now their eyes were fixed.

”Thank you,” Marion whispered after kissing Jean's lips and quickly moved back before the situation became awkward. She pointed to a door on her right and acted as if nothing had happened, ”The guest room is over there, so you can rest there. It has is ensuite bathroom. I will sleep upstairs. Good night.”

She walked up the stairs in a hurry to hide her blushing face. After a few steps she looked back and was dumbfounded because ... usually her dogs would follow her to bed, but now none had moved an inch from Jean's side!

Six pairs of eyes were staring at her from below. Jean was still surprised because Marion had kissed him so suddenly, while her five dogs seemed content to be around Jean and were looking at her with eyes saying: 'Good night, Marion, tonight we will sleep with Jean.'

Gosh ... she didn't expect her dogs' loyalty to her to be very fickle. They all had taken Jean's side. Marion now felt like a guest in her own home.
