Chapter 819 Is It Necessary

If anyone from the Qi family saw this, they would think Jean was the one bullying Jesse.

Jean looked at Jesse—a mixed look on her face, one of anxiousness and one of sympathy. "You just need to give it time but eventually, you're going to forget all about him. If you really want to, you can do it, Jesse. I believe in you."

"I just can't!" Jesse shook her head with tears rolling down her cheeks. She added, "You have no idea how happy it made me to see Zed today. I felt renewed like I was coming back to life again. How can you forget someone who brings you so much joy? And I'm not saying this to get your sympathy, Jean.

I'm just being honest with you. I've tried so hard to move on but I just can't, so why not just try to win him over? I mean, I know I've tried before and I've failed, but I really think I won't this time."

"Is that really necessary?" Jean spat back in a bitter tone. She didn't want to complicate things between her and Zed anymore. Jean asked with bitterness on her face as she didn't want things to be complicated.

"It is," Jesse said, sounding resolute. Then she added, "Without Zed, my life is useless. It's empty. It wouldn't hurt to try winning him over. But this time, I'm doing it out in the open. That's what I came here to tell you today. Jean, I don't know what's going through your head right now but brace yourself.

And give me a real competition. Let's have a good fight. Let's see who really should be with Zed."

Jesse was determined in winning Zed over.

However, this didn't sit well with Jean. She wasn't going to agree to any of this.

She glanced at Jesse and smirked, "You know, I don't really have to try. I'm pregnant. No one in the Qi family will allow me to exert energy into something as silly as this. Because I don't need to. Zed is my husband and the father of the baby I'm carrying.

I'm not stupid enough to accept your silly challenge and all the while risking my family. It's not my problem that you can't move on with your life. If you don't want to move on, fine but leave me out of it. Besides, if Zed a

"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...

e to ask them all upfront on who they would choose between the two of us?"

A cloud fell over Jesse's face as she wouldn't ever dare do that.

She couldn't do that now. Not anymore. If Jean had asked before, she would have agreed and she would have easily won.

But things had changed now. Jesse could tell that she wasn't as close to the family as she used to be based on how Jade treated her alone.

'Is it because Jean is pregnant?

She's carrying a future descendant of theirs. Is that why they like her so much better now?

Otherwise, how come Grandpa Benjamin didn't stop me when he found out that I had feelings for Zed in H City?

He didn't have a care in the world for Jean too back then.

But since Zed was able to bring Jean here that means that Grandpa Benjamin has already approved of her, ' Jesse contemplated.

Jesse didn't stand a chance against Jean.

She didn't consider that Jean would realize that and use it against her.

She clenched her teeth as she didn't expect that Jean would put up such a good fight.

"What are you doing there? It's time to eat."

Zed's voice came from a distance.

Jean heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Zed's voice.

Her face broke into a smile as she watched Zed walk towards her.

Jean walked past Jesse and whispered in her ear, "Not today, sweetie. Sorry but I need to go. My husband's looking for me."
