'Jean, I have hidden my affections for you in my heart so humbly. Am I not even allowed that much? Why are you trying to force a relation on me with a woman that I've never loved before?' Moore thought sadly. It broke his heart to hear Jean's thoughts about him and Avery.
"Moore, I can't tell you just how important you are to me in my heart. I have always hoped that you find happiness, and I put your happiness before my own. So, if for nothing then for me... Please forget that woman and start over with Avery, okay? Please give yourself one more chance to attain real happiness, okay?"
Jean stared at Moore and pleaded with him sincerely, unaware of his true feelings towards her own self.
Moore looked at her, and as moments passed in their confrontation, the grief in his heart grew wider and wider.
'In the end, you still want me to be with Avery, Jean.
You've been carelessly ignoring my feelings and losing sight of my affections for you ever since you met me. And now, you are even trying to persuade me to accept Avery.
Why are you doing this to me? Why do I have to accept Avery?'
It wasn't just him. Zed was also confused.
Why was Jean insisting on seeing Moore and Avery together as a couple?
To the best of their knowledge, she knew clearly that Moore didn't like Avery. So, why was she trying so hard to match them together?
"Why? Why do you want me to love Avery? It's so difficult to me. I won't fall in love with her. Don't you know that?" Moore whispered in a sad tone as he gazed at Jean gloomily.
"I know it will be difficult at first," Jean agreed and replied with a smile, "but I also know you will be touched by Avery's love for you one day. I am sure of that. Moore, Avery is that one person who is going to fill your heart with the emotion of love. She's the one who's going to make you forget that married woman. Think about her obsession and devotion to you over the years. Think about the things she did for you. Did they never move you?
If you've ever been touched even for a single time, I am sure that you're going to fall in love with her one day. You said you didn't like Avery and didn't want to stay with her. If that is the case, then you tell me, Moore. Is there anyone else who has been obsessed with you so many years and has never thought of giving up pursuing you except for Avery? Haven't you ever thought of it that starting a new relationship is a real restart?"
Moore was looking at her in shock. Her words were hurtin
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
n you and her can be eliminated and you can start over together..."
Zed was completely puzzled now.
Hadn't Avery begged Jean to make Moore reconcile with her?
Why was Jean saying that Moore had to coax her and it was for his own good?
Zed felt that he really couldn't make Jean angry in the future, or he really had no idea what she would do.
He found that Jean was becoming more and more eloquent by the days. And now, nobody could refuse, oppose, or refute her.
She really had the gift of gab.
Suddenly, Moore understood what Jean meant just now.
He was a man, and the break-up was caused by him this time.
Therefore, it wasn't too much to ask him to comfort a sad woman.
But Jean seemed to mean that the best way to maintain a relationship was for a man to occasionally put down his stature and lower his attitude towards his lover.
Although Moore didn't want to admit it, he knew that Jean was right this time.
Since he had agreed to wrong himself to restart everything with Avery, it was not going to be a big deal to coax Avery and ease their tense relationship.
"Okay, I promise you I'll coax Avery." Moore nodded reluctantly and compromised again with a smile even more bitter than before.
Zed felt more sorrowful on hearing his promise. He looked at him sympathetically, and assured Jean with a smile. "Well, since Moore has promised to do everything you ask, you can rest assured now, Jean. Let's go! You must be hungry. Let's go to dinner."
"You... You didn't have dinner?" Aftering hearing what Zed said, Moore asked in utter disbelief.
He hadn't had dinner too because he had no appetite. But Jean and Zed?
