Jean had stood by the door of Zed's villa for about half an hour already before a black car slowly drove in.
Zed parked his car. He got out of his car and saw Jean huddling herself against the cold wind.
He frowned, walked towards her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I..." Jean bit her lower lip. She didn't know how to initiate a conversation with him. While she was eating earlier, she had already planned to talk with Zed. 'Since I can't do Zed's request, the only thing I can do now is to persuade him to change his mind in person, ' she thought.
Zed stood there for a moment while waiting for Jean's answer. However, Jean still didn't say any word. He became impatient and turned around to open the villa's door. Before he entered his house, Zed stopped for a while to wait for Jean to go with him.
After Jean saw him open the door, she immediately entered. It was so much warmer inside the room. She gazed at the living room and suddenly recalled the days she had spent there.
Jean thought, 'If we had just treated each other with affection during those days, it would have been very wonderful moments.'
"Are you beginning to miss the joyful days we spent here? Do you want to come back now?" Zed asked. He opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of water for himself. Then, he sat on the sofa and looked at Jean with great interest.
"I worked hard and tried my best to give you great photos. Can you just accept them? Please don't ask me to take another one. I'll gladly appreciate it."
"Is that the reason why you came here?" Zed put the bottle down and felt slightly displeased.
Jean shook her head and continued to speak gently, "No. Actually, there's one more thing."
"What is it?"
Jean took an envelope out from her pocket and put it on the coffee table. "I borrowed some money from you at Kim Village. So I came here to return it." Jean said.
"Return the money?" Zed grumbled. He turned sulky after he heard Jean's words.
Zed had been working at his office before he got home. For one random moment, he wanted to check where Jean was. He checked his phone and found that Jean was at his house. It made him fluster and quickly drive home.
When Zed saw Jean wearing only thin clothes, he was worried that she might had caught a cold. He thought that the only reason Jean came here was that she wanted to be with him. However
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
er clothes with a blank face. Her long hair fell on her shoulders. The soft light made her fine features even more beautiful. Her fair skin was slowly revealed as her clothes fell which made her even more alluring.
But Zed didn't pay any attention to her that time. He tried his best to calm himself down.
Jean didn't know what to do next after she realized that Zed didn't move. She thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." Then, she entered the bedroom that she had stayed in before.
It was quiet in the room. People could only hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. She just stood in the bathroom and let the warm water fall all over her.
Her eyes were filled with tears. She felt a bit sad and slowly closed her eyes with her fingers tightly grasping her palms.
After taking a bath, Jean lay in bed. She was a bit anxious when she was carefully listening to the footsteps outside the bedroom. She waited in bed for quite a while, but there weren't any movements still.
She waited more until she fell asleep. She seemed to have a dream. In her dream, she was comfortably sleeping within a warm embrace.
When Jean woke up, she didn't find Zed immediately. A ray of sunlight beamed from the window. She stayed in the warmth of the sunshine for a few moments. After a while, she got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then, she went downstairs to look for Zed.
She searched every inch of the villa, but she couldn't still find him.
She felt hungry, so she opened the refrigerator. But sadly, she couldn't find anything to eat.
