The sunlight sneaked in from the thick curtains and awakened Jean who was sleeping calmly on the bed.
Slowly, Jean opened her eyes and found that Zed was no longer there.
Feeling lazy, she decided to rest for a while longer and closed her eyes. After a couple of minutes, she opened them again and realized she was flushed with shyness.
Thinking of the romantic moments that took place last night, Jean felt both happy and shy.
After eliminating the misunderstandings between them, it seemed their love life had gotten better.
Giddiness overtook her and she pressed her face against the pillow to stop herself from smiling too hard.
'Jean, you are an erotic girl now!'
Lying on the bed for a while, Jean suddenly thought of something. Quickly, she got down from the bed and looked at the clock in panic.
Seeing what time it was, Jean started to fluster.
'Oops! It's ten o'clock now. How did I not realize it?' thought Jean.
Both Zed's grandfather and Jesse's grandfather were present here today. 'If they find out I wake up so late, it may create a bad impression, ' worried Jean.
Rushing into the washroom, she quickly finished the morning wash. Coming out, Jean selected the clothes she wanted to wear today, combed her hair, and hurriedly ran out to meet everyone.
When she entered the living room, Jean was surprised to find the house to be quiet.
Seeing the empty living room, Jean stood there stunned. After stopping herself from panicking, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called Zed.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered it. This made Jean even more anxious and she continued to ring him.
After the call was put through for the fourth time, Zed finally answered it.
Jean let out a sigh of relief and quickly asked,"Zed, where are you now?"
"I am in the company. I had a meeting just now…" Zed lowered his voice and asked,"What happened?"
"Grandpa… I woke up and found that there was no one in the house…" Jean spoke in a lowered and panicky sound.
'Oh my God! Zed was not with grandpa now. Where is grandpa?' she thought, internally panicking.
"Don't worry," replied Zed when noticing the worry in her voice. He continued,"In t
"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
to answer it.
Once, twice, thrice…
Finally, Jesse directly powered off her mobile phone. Hearing the prompt tone, Jean was shocked. She felt annoyed and ridiculous.
'Jesse, your actions surprise me.
Aren't you a genteel lady?
Aren't you an aristocratic lady?
Why do you always show me your ugly side?'
Jean was angry but decided it wasn't right to waste her time in fury. Instead, she walked and walked in search of them.
"Jesse, the phone has been ringing for a long time. Why don't you answer it?" Looking at Jesse who was holding her phone with a spiteful smile on her face, Benjamin asked with concern.
"They are all prank calls. Grandpa Benjamin, just ignore them," Jesse smiled and said, without changing her facial expression.
"She is a clever girl! Benjamin, don't worry about her. She knows how to deal with it." Dan smiled and came to Jesse's rescue.
Benjamin also raised a smile on his face, looked at Jesse with tenderness and said,"I'm sorry that you waste your time accompanying us in walking around, Jesse."
"Grandpa Benjamin, if you say such words, you are not considering me as your granddaughter," Jesse suddenly pouted and said, feigning anger.
Hearing Jesse's words, Benjamin was stunned for a while. He immediately laughed and joked,"I did not consider you as my granddaughter. I used to be optimistic about the relationship between you and Zed. But I did not expect that both of your fate had different plans....."
