Chapter 338 Painful Memory

"Miss Tang," Calvin called Jesse out of her reverie. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be extremely hard for me to believe that someone as gorgeous and smart as you would sulk around in a party like a small girl who lost her favorite toy. That truly surprises me," Calvin said with glimmering eyes.

"Who are you?" Jesse turned to Calvin and glared at him with her eyes wide open. Fire seemed to spark in her burning eyes and she clenched her fists like she wanted to punch Calvin. It was obvious that Calvin's talks multiplied her anger.

"I am Calvin Li." Calvin looked at Jean with a smug smile feeling happy to have gotten her attention. Jean's words failed to anger him and somewhere deep down he knew she was really sad.

"Calvin Li..." Jesse looked at him with a hint of recognition and confusion. Thinking hard trying to place him, she said,"You look familiar. Do I know you?"

As a matter of fact, Jesse didn't remember seeing his face before. Yet she thought she knew him from somewhere. 'Where did I see him?' Jesse thought and started to think of all the people she met in the past few years.

"It seems that I was born with a face that's hard to remember. Or else how can someone forget their childhood neighbor," Calvin said while he smiled. Even now, Calvin wasn't offended because he was a cool and even-tempered guy.

"What do you mean? Are you..." Jesse cried out when it registered. Now she stared at him completely startled. She hadn't expected to see an old friend here today.

"I am honored that you finally recognized me. Honestly, I am surprised. I thought you only cared for Zed." Calvin slightly smiled at her. He uttered these words in a calm tone.

Nevertheless, upon hearing the mockery implied in his words, Jesse felt embarrassed and her face flushed red.

"You can't blame me for that. I was just eight years old when you moved away. I surely can't remember you so clearly," Jesse said sounding defensive. As soon as she spoke, Jesse frowned and looked at him. She added,"I remember that you were already fifteen when you and Ron moved away. But you have changed completely! You look nothing like you did back then. Did you get plastic surgery done?" Jesse still couldn't match the man in front of her with the fifteen years old boy in her memory.

"Oh please, I haven't changed all that much. It is just that you have eyes only for Zed," Calvin argued. "Anyway, you are getting more and more beautiful, so how come I'm not allowed to become hand

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

right." Calvin nodded his head as he agreed with Jesse. He slightly turned his head and saw the couple who were dancing. The look on Calvin's face darkened immediately.

Jesse sensed Calvin's strange look and couldn't help but look at the direction he was staring at. The moment she saw the sweet couple, a hint of jealousy flashed on her face. Jesse gnashed her teeth and clenched her fists.

Although Jesse was not willing to admit it, the tender look and the smile with which the couple gazed into each other's eyes spoke volumes about their love. 'Zed and Jean are madly in love, ' realized Jesse.

She also realized there was nothing Jesse could do to change the situation at the moment.

Feeling defeated, she let out a sigh before she raised her head and put back her confident face.

'No matter how much you love each other, I will make sure this doesn't last, ' Jesse made up her mind with a devilish smile on the tip of her lips.

With a soft tune, the music and dance ended. Everyone left the dance floor with their dates reluctantly like they wanted to dance more.

Holding Jean's hand, Zed walked out of the dance floor with a genuine smile on his face.

"Jean..." A voice called loudly silencing everyone else in the room. Every eye turned toward that person. After everyone figured out who it was, the recognition was reflected on their faces.

The room was filled with various reactions; some were surprised, some were curious whereas others were fuming with anger like Zed.

Jean was surprised to see the man walking towards her. Not wanting him to come any further, she looked straight into his eyes and asked,"What are you doing here?"
