Chapter 432 - Ready To Fall In Love Again (1/2)

”Gosh ... I'm just kidding!! I'm just kiddiiiiingg…!!! Why have you no sense of humor, huh? Hey .. Heyyyy!!!” Marion pounder her fists on Jean's back, trying to force him to let go of her.

However, the man was indeed not weak. He managed to keep Marion slung across his shoulder until they went down to the 99th floor and arrived in front of the elevator going to the 100th floor.

The waiters and guests at Sky Bar and Moonshine Restaurant could only stare at the sight. Jean did not seem concerned about people's views at all. He was posing as an ordinary person with his hat and glasses. No paparazzi would recognize him.

”Put me down, I can walk by myself,” Marion pleaded after they got inside the elevator. She was very worried that her reputation as a tough girl would be tarnished if one of her friends from Wolf Pack found out she was being carried like this by Jean. ”I won't call you weak anymore ... I promise … So, please...”

Only then did Jean lower the girl down the floor.

”I may not be a member of the Wolf Pack, but for the past 20 years as a movie star, I have practiced a lot for action roles and am diligent in exercising to maintain my fitness. To be able to find success as an actor  I didn't only rely on my handsome face and amazing acting. Just for your information...” Jean said while shrugging.

He deliberately did it to emphasize to Marion that even though he was not Lauriel, the famous leader of Wolf Pack who often brushed shoulders with dangers and violence, Jean was not a weak man.

He was also an alchemist who had physical strength above the average human beings. Also, for decades, throughout his career, as an actor he had gotten himself accustomed to taking challenging roles.

Marion understood this now.

”Be thankful that you are not a member of the Wolf Pack,” Marion replied with a smile, ”I wouldn't want to kiss you if you were. They were like my own brothers.”

She grabbed Jean's hand and pulled him outside when the elevator door opened. In the penthouse, the two headed into the study where Marion took out two glasses of wine. ”Do you want red wine or white wine?”

”Red wine,” Jean answered while taking a seat on the sofa. Marion took out a bottle of red wine from the cupboard and poured some into the two glasses. She then handed one to Jean.

”You're right, it's better to drink at home,” the girl said, clinking her glass against Jean's, ”Cheers for a very pleasant evening.”

”Cheers!”
