'Do you think I still have the chance to embrace happiness?'
Zed repeated Moore's question in his mind. He sounded so hopeless when he said it just now.
"I'm sorry, Moore," said Zed. He looked at Moore with a sense of guilt. "I believe that everyone has the right to pursue his own happiness. You deserve happiness. So if you really don't feel anything for Avery, then break up and don't force yourself to be in a relationship that you don't want to be in. You needn't worry about Jean. I can explain it to her."
"No, no..." Before Zed finished his sentence, Moore got anxious and broke in. "Zed, please don't tell Jean. I don't want to bother her and make her worried. She has done a lot for me."
"Moore, listen to me," Zed looked him straight in the eyes and said in a serious tone. "Jean is a close friend of Avery. Since Avery is gorgeous and has a deep crush on you, Jean believes that she is a perfect match for you. Even though you have no feelings for her, she thought you might be deeply touched by her and accept her love someday. That's why Jean has worked hard to bring you two together. If Jean knew that you still haven't developed any feelings for Avery, she wouldn't make you be with her. She wishes for you to have your own happiness. If you force yourself to be with Avery just to please Jean, then she will feel very bad.
After all, she wants to see you happy as well. I know that she will totally understand it if you tell her the truth. She will definitely agree with you. Previously, when you told her that..." he paused for a moment because it wasn't easy for Zed to speak to the man that was so in love with his own wife. "The woman you really love is married," he continued. "She was really worried about you. It's also the reason why she made such an effort to bring you together. You know her. She doesn't want you to be alone and single,"
said Zed sincerely trying to comfort him from the bottom of his heart.
"I know." Moore nodded. He gave a bitter smile and said, "I know she wants me to be happy. That's why I accepted Avery because I don't want to refuse her good intentions."
"You've been together with Avery for some time. You know she might not be the perfect mach for you and you know whether you are happy with her or not. Moore, I hope you can be a little selfish and think more about yourself. Don't force yourself to be with Avery jus
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
put myself into a new relationship if I am to move on. You said, that I should start a relationship. Do you remember?
I am familiar with Avery and you know that I'm lazy. It's really difficult for me to put in the effort to get to know another girl. I really don't want to do that. So I think Avery is the perfect match. I can give it a try," said Moore.
Zed couldn't help but open his eyes wider in shock. He was surprised by Moore's decision.
'What did he say? He doesn't love her at all. Why has he decided to stay with Avery?
Wow, it's too complicated. I can't believe this, ' thought Zed.
At the thought of all that Moore had just said, he couldn't help but heave a deep sigh.
'I hope you mean it, Moore. I hope you aren't lying to me.
I hope that you can give yourself a chance to start a new life with Avery, ' he thought.
"I wish you all the best," Zed expressed his wish sincerely.
"Thank you very much," Moore replied as he looked at Zed with a big smile.
"Treat Avery well and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really don't love her, then you can give it up," Zed said, still worried about him.
Moore was surprised by his support. After a short moment, he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
After their talk, they left the hall and each went to their rooms.
In the bedroom, Jean was lying in the bed entertaining herself with a game on her phone, while she waited for Zed to finish having a shower.
'Zed and Moore must have had a long talk. They were downstairs for such a long time. It wasn't just drinking, ' thought Jean.
