Hearing Zed's words, Jean felt relaxed at once. On the other hand, a sweet smile appeared on Jean's face. "You are so bad! How can you tease me like that?" she asked, feigning anger.
"Believe me, I didn't mean to do that. You didn't hear me and was busy getting anxious. You can't blame me for that, honey," Zed said with a naughty smile on his face.
"You did it on purpose. You stopped speaking so as to see me getting anxious." Jean snorted, pretending to be displeased.
As a matter of fact, Zed indeed did it deliberately as he wanted to watch Jean get worried about his feelings for her.
At the moment, Zed put on a big smile as he reached out his hand and gently rubbed Jean's long hair.
It was already midnight when they arrived home.
Moore was not in the living room at the time so they figured he might have fallen asleep upstairs.
Therefore, Zed and Jean slowed down their pace and walked quietly to their bedroom.
All of a sudden, a sharp ringtone rang loudly from the living room. They had almost reached their room but stopped on hearing it.
Feeling stunned, Zed and Jean exchanged a look and went back downstairs helplessly.
"It's your fault. We all have cell phones nowadays. Why is there a need to place a phone in the living room? I've never heard it ring before. I thought it was for the decoration,"
Jean said in a low voice looking annoyed.
"Why would anyone keep a phone for decoration!" Zed responded feeling appalled by her thoughts.
Zed and Jean were lost in their bickering, but the phone was still ringing. Unable to take it anymore, Zed went near and took a look at the number that was displayed. His earlier expression was gone and now he looked serious.
Noticing the difference in Zed's expression, Jean looked worried. "What's wrong? Who's that?" she asked anxiously.
"It is Joy," Zed replied with a hint of helpless in his eyes.
"What? Joy?" Jean was surprised and had her eyes wide open. She couldn't help but ask,"She has my number, doesn't she? If she is calling for help then why isn't she calling me directly? What's the point of calling in this phone placed in our living room?"
As Jean went on putting forward her doubts, the ringtone stopped suddenly. The room fell into its earlier silence.
"Who knows? But I still think
"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...
eel pity for her. "You don't have to carry so many responsibilities. Zed told me this morning about your conversation with Henry yesterday evening. I think you can just leave the Wen Group. Henry was so heartless and you are not obliged to do anything for him."
"Moore, I have my plan so don't worry about me." Jean didn't want to talk much to Moore about it and he got the signal.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Leo called yesterday," Moore suddenly said, looking at Jean.
"Leo? It has been a long time since I heard his name. I almost forget about the issue until you mentioned it." Hearing Moore's words, a new curiosity entered Jean's mind. She continued to ask with a smile on her face,"What did he say?"
"Leo said that the person he was following has disappeared. He can't seem to find that person and it has been a few days now. So Leo guessed that he might have gone abroad or something like that." With frowned eyebrows, Moore explained the mysterious story to Jean.
"Okay." Jean nodded. After thinking for a while, she continued,"I think that he might be plotting a new plan. What's your opinion? Do you think he'll leave H City?"
Moore shook his head immediately and replied with a firm look,"No, he won't."
"Then tell Leo to keep stalking. There must be something wrong since he disappeared suddenly," Jean said with a serious look on her face.
"You are right. I agree with you." Moore nodded in agreement. "I have told Leo to keep following that person and inform us once he finds out something."
