Chapter 698

"Anyway, I just don't think that Juan is a merciless man," Jean blurted out to Zed frankly. Without further thought, she continued to put forward her opinion, "I can't seem to figure out why Juan is so rude to Tina. I have been giving it so much thought. The only plausible reason that I can think of is that Juan isn't happy with his family arrangement. Maybe he doesn't want Tina to be his fiancee merely because he is a rebellious son to his parents. If Tina truly loves Juan, then I will try to eliminate the misunderstandings between them when she comes here..."

"Okay, your plan may work but what will you do after their misunderstandings are dispelled? What do you plan to do if they only wish to enjoy their lives with freedom?"

reminded?Zed, who seemed a little disturbed with this problem.

"They have stayed with each other for years. If they still don't have feelings for each other, then I don't see the point in getting them married to each other. Maybe they are not meant for each other. Anyway, I will respect their choice since I don't want them to end up doing something which they will regret later. I just hope everything between them will be smoothly handled. Zed, Juan is your good friend. Don't you wish him to be happy? Don't you think he deserves to make his life choices?"

explained?Jean seriously.

"Of course, that's what I wish," responded?Zed with a wry smile. With his eyebrows knitted tightly, he continued, "But we still don't know what is going on in his mind. Unlike me, Juan can't resist against his family. It would have been impossible for me to embark on businesses in H City if I haven't been here to look for you. If it wasn't for you, I would have failed to free myself from my family's arrangements for me just like Juan.

Juan's family seems very free and let him do anything outside as he wishes. But in the end, he has to follow all his family's arrangements. Marrying someone of his choice is not something he will be given permission to do. If you end up clearing the misunderstandings between the two, I don't think you will gain much. In fact, I am afraid it might create more trouble. They are going to get more freedom than what is required.

Jean, you need to consider the impact before you do anything. From the very beginning, Juan has strongly disagreed with this marriage. And now 20 years have passed but his opinion remains the same. There is no change and it proves the fact that his resistance against the idea of marriage still exists. As for now, Tina is with him and follows him around wherever he goes. His life is in control. If he escapes from her, then his life is going to be miserable. We don't want to make things worse."

Zed heaved a heavy sigh at Juan's misfortune in marriage. But at the same time, he felt so lucky to have married Jean. He truly was a fortunate man to have the woman he loved so much.

"But up till now, we have done nothin

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

st into laughter as she looked at the serious expression on Zed's face. He seemed very curious which made him look extremely cute to Jean. Soon afterwards, she got her face closer to Zed's and mumbled her plan slowly.

The more words Zed heard from Jean, the tighter his eyebrows became.

At last, some beads of sweat involuntarily popped out on his forehead. Her words left him scared and shocked.

'Juan, I am sorry. It's all my fault.

If I haven't told Jean about your ulterior motive for asking Tina to come here, Jean couldn't have been so furious. Now she has come up with a dangerous plan to deal with you.

As your close friend, all that I can do is pray for you.

I wish you good luck, buddy, ' thought Zed.

"What do you think?" Jean looked rather complacent after she revealed her plan to Zed.

On the other side, Zed had been stunned ever since Jean uttered those words. He replied with a lot of guilt for Juan, "Just as I've promised you, I will surely stand by your side if I have to make a choice between my close friend and my wife. Jean, I will be on your side and won't back off."

"You've agreed and now there is no room for quitting. And before our plan succeeds, remember not to mention anything about it in front of Juan, or?else..."

Before Jean could finish, she extended both her hands out, touched Zed's face gently and continued to speak with a bright smile, "Or else, you already know what the consequences will be."

"Jean, take it easy. I will surely not disclose any of your plan to Juan," replied?Zed with a firm nod. After hesitating for some moments, he added, "But Jean, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Believe me. I know what I am doing. I am also certain that the result will be positive," responded?Jean with a complacent look.

Zed had been as cold-hearted as ice when she first met him. Yet he had changed because of her. Hence, Jean was quite confident that she could fix Juan up.
