"Jean…" Zed sighed when he saw her get angry again. "I promise you. I will keep some distance from Jesse. And with other women, I will not speak to them at all. If I act this way, will you forgive me?"
"Will you really keep some distance from Jesse?"
Jean raised her head to check the extent of his sincerity and asked suspiciously.
Seeing Jean finally react, Zed felt delighted inside. He nodded immediately wanting to make use of this golden opportunity. "Sure. I won't do anything that will make my lovely wife upset."
Jean wrinkled her nose and watched Zed with puzzlement. "Why did you change your mind? Don't you always defend Jesse? Come clean with me. I am not an unreasonable woman…."
Jean stammered. Of course, she was referring to the incident where Jesse saved Zed.
Zed didn't know that she had already heard about that. He thought Jean didn't want to make it difficult for him, so he was thrilled and grateful. "No, Jean. You are the only woman I want to be with. I will not bother to give any other woman a look."
"Stop it. You are overdoing it," Jean replied wanting him to stop. Jean pulled an annoyed face again and looked displeased. "Won't it be possible that some of your future business partners happen to be a woman? What will you do then? And how about social events? Aren't nightclubs the favorite type of place you guys opt for socializing? Zed, don't treat me like an idiot. I am not that easy to be fooled."
"Jean, it looks like you still don't trust me." Zed sighed after hearing her words. "You are right. It is not possible to avoid women in social events or any other occasions. But since I promised you, I will absolutely do that. Qi Group now has opened the market and is on track now. I don't have to manage in the hands-on approach, otherwise why should I hire so many high-paid staff? From now on, my top priority is to keep my precious wife company."
Jean heard Zed call her "my precious wife" and this melted her heart.
Detecting Jean's shyness, Zed knew she had already forgiven him. She hadn't said it with words but it was evident to Zed from her face.
Thinking of this, excitement was bubbling in his heart. He hugged Jean with full strength and took the chance to show his love. "Honey, I am hungry. We will go downstairs to get something to eat, okay?"
Seeing Zed's pleading expression, Jean's heart softened and she nodded in agreement.
She had basically eaten nothing because she didn't have time this morning. And later she had a fight with Zed, so when Zelda came upstairs to ask her to go to eat, she wasn't in the mood for food. Hence she was starving right now.
Hearing Zed mention food, she felt a gust of pain in her stomach.
"Okay." Jean tried to sound angry because she didn't want Zed to know she had forgiven him. Slowly, she sat up and was about to get out of the bed.
"Don't move," Zed cried out hastily. Jean was startled and stopped her motion. With her heart beating faster, she looked at Zed with puzzlement.
Zed put on an assuring smile as he hadn't intended to scare her. "I will carry you downstairs," he said looking pleased with himself.
Jean's heart relaxed. She had thought something was wrong again, so she worried another problem was about to come.
"Thanks, but I can walk myself." After saying this, Jean flushed and turned around.
"It is my pleasure. Jean, you won't deprive me of the pleasure, will you?" Zed watched her with pleading eyes.
"You…" Jean was embarrassed suddenly and said,"There are other people in this house. It is not decent to be carried downstairs."
"Don't worry. If they gossip about it, I will fire them immediately," Zed said with pride and bragged about his power.
"You…" Jean watched Zed speechlessly. In Jean's eyes, Zed's actions looked weird.
