Chapter 412 - Peaceful Morning (1/2)
Marion couldn't believe her own eyes when the five dogs that she had cared for since they were puppies, and had always been loyal to her, now can switch their loyalties that easily. They must be brainwashed!
”Well, if that is what you want, ask your new owner for your food tomorrow! I'm seriously offended!” hissed Marion with a frown. She then walked with long steps to her room on the second floor.
Jean just laughed at her behavior. He continued stroking the five 'traitor' dogs and talked to them as if they understood what he was saying. Jean really liked dogs and they always loved him.
Wherever he went, if he met a four-legged animals, he would find the time to play with them.
He only had a dog once when he was little, but because of his parents' divorce, he was forced to leave his best friend in Singapore when he moved with his mother to Paris.
He could only see his dog a few times a year until one day the dog died in a car accident. Since then, he never wanted to keep another animal. The loss was just too painful for him.
When he was a teenager, he started taking modelling very seriously and it took a large portion of his time, and so he realized that he did not have enough time and attention for girlfriends let alone pets, so he decided not to adopt even one dog.
Eight years ago, after Aleksis went missing, she returned home with a very cute french bulldog which she named Little Prince Siegfried. Jean was very happy because it meant that every time he visited the Schneider family's house, he could meet and play with their cute dog.
Satisfied 'talking' with Marion's five dogs, Jean then went into the guest room and prepared to wash up and go to sleep. He was very happy because the dogs happily followed him around and, as soon as soon as he lay in bed, the small dogs jumped into his bed while the large ones lay on the carpet and decided to sleep with him in his room.
Hmm ... unfortunately, after several hours, he still could not sleep. He was still experiencing jet lag because he was accustomed to living in the United States which was 8 hours behind Europe. Added to the fact that he was feeling stressed after recent events. He kept tossing and turning throughout the night.

The next morning, Marion woke up early, as usual. The autumn sun usually rose late and the cold air made her too lazy to rise. However, because she had a guest at home, Marion felt uneasy if her guest were to wake up earlier than her and became confused at her home.
Last night she had not had time to give a tour around her house so Jean certainly did not know how to take care of himself at Marion's house. What if he was hungry? What if he needed anything?
Marion felt bad for being petty the night before and didn't show Jean around her house just because the man 'took away' her dogs.
As she descended the stairs, Marion's nose smelled the air in the living room in confusion. It was still very early, but why was there the smell of cooking from the kitchen?
