Chapter 604 Everything Has Multiple Sides

Avery nudged Zed and said, "Let's go to the garden." She gave Jean and Moore a glance as she waited for Zed's response.

Zed followed her gaze and landed on Jean and Moore, who were chatting happily and seemed to enjoy their conversation. He turned to Avery and nodded approvingly.

Surprised, Avery blinked twice before feeling somehow relieved at this and then turned her back, slowly walking outside.

Zed followed behind her, surprised that she wanted to talk to him in private.

'Did Avery find something out?

Because if not, she couldn't have that look on her face.

What will she say?'

Zed wondered with his eyebrows furrowed into a frown. He then shrugged these thoughts away and sighed.

When they reached the garden, both of them looked troubled. Their minds were off elsewhere for they didn't seem to notice the blossoming flowers around them, waiting to be appreciated.

Zed sensed that Avery was lost in thought, and that he should speak up first. Breaking the silence, he looked at her and asked, "What is it that you want to say, Avery?"

Avery looked back at Zed and without beating around the bush, she asked straightforwardly, "You know who dwells in Moore's heart, don't you?"

Avery was certain that Zed knew. In the span of a few days, she observed how Zed could easily gain information just by his observation skills, and the probability of it being correct were usually high.

Then again, it was up to Zed whether he would tell her or not.

As for Zed, he was quite taken aback by this sudden question. Although he already knew why Avery had asked him out to the garden to talk privately, he didn't expect that she would get to the subject as soon as this.

Even then, since he had already prepared himself for it, he wasn't too much surprised and instantly was able to regain his composure. He looked at Avery and asked her with a soft smile, "What happened? I mean, why the sudden question? Do you really want to know his past even though you just started dating him?"

"Don't get me wrong, Zed. I didn't mean to pry into his privacy and personal life. I just want to know how much that girl weighs in his heart. That way, I can judge if I really do have a chance to avert his feelings." Waving her hand in front of her, Avery hurriedly explained, afraid that Zed might misunderstand her intentions.

Zed looked at Avery, who stared back at him with an anxious look. He thought about it for a moment and then let out a deep breath before speaking again, "Avery, I know that you are a smart girl. You should know, however, that whoever Moore likes right now, you are still his girlfriend. Wasn't this what you longed for? What you worked hard for? So please, you shouldn't be wasting your time and energy on something totally deemed unnecessary for your situation."

Avery spared a moment to thi

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

Her eyebrows furrowed into a frown.

'Of course, you wouldn't notice. You were busy chatting happily with Moore, ' Zed thought bitterly and gave a cold chuckle inside.

He felt a little jealous, but he made sure not to show that on his face.

On the other hand, as Avery stepped inside, she stopped and stood there. Her eyes focused on Moore as if he was the only person in the room.

She noticed that he was no longer smiling anymore, and for some reason, she felt somewhat relieved.

When neither Zed nor Avery spoke to acknowledge her question, Jean spoke and asked, "What? Are you two hiding something?"

"Of course not. We just had a little chat, and there's nothing to hide from you. Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat." Zed invited, changing the subject so Jean wouldn't push anymore.

Jean stood up, her eyes lit up by the mention of eating. "Yes, I am indeed hungry!" She then walked over to Zed and wrapped her arms on his before she jokingly complained, "If you hadn't come in sooner, I would have eaten without you."

Zed laughed at this remark. He knew that Jean was the typical food lover and would do anything to get ahold of food once her stomach was empty. Her eyes would sparkle at the sight of food as well, making him sometimes envious of food for she didn't usually look at him the way she looked at food. It was bit of a petty thought, but he was happy as long as Jean was happy and satisfied.

Because of that, he couldn't do anything but caress her hair as he led her to the dining room, giving her a huge smile as well.

Avery's gaze was interrupted by the couple. She couldn't help but stare at how sweet they were, making her feel a little envious and hoping that she and Moore too could cuddle like Jean and Zed did. After a moment, she shook these thoughts away and walked over to Moore, giving him a smile before inviting him to the dining room as well.
