Jean looked at Moore and Avery in great shock. She hadn't expected that the whole thing would process so smoothly. She thought that her efforts would make Moore begin to have a favorable impression on Avery, but she hadn't expected that they would talked about marriage. It was so sudden that it made Jean difficult to believe what was happening now.
She rubbed her eyes with great strength, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw that Moore was embracing Avery.
"Yeah!"
Seeing the duo finally being together in a hug, Jean suddenly cheered happily. She held Zed in her arms and asked happily, "See? Zed! Moore and Avery are in love! Finally, they are in love! I'm so happy to see that. No, to be more specific, I'm highly excited about it!" Jean ecstatically exclaimed.
Zed said nothing but gave out a reluctant smile as he turned to look toward Moore. Contrary to how Jean was feeling at the moment, he felt really worried about Moore.
He was pretty sure about why Moore had agreed to be Avery's boyfriend.
Moore was in love with Jean. So when he heard that she wanted him to accept Avery's love and be happy with her, he was deeply touched and couldn't deny her request.
So even though Moore didn't have any feelings for Avery at all, he was still willing to accept Jean's suggestion just to keep her happy. He would rather suffer all by himself than upset Jean or hurt her in any way.
Obviously, Moore wanted to stop himself from fantasizing about Jean falling in love with him. Otherwise, he would not have been so resolute in agreeing to be Avery's boyfriend. He had even mentioned about the prospects of marriage someday in the future which was even more alarming and off-putting than anything else.
The more Jean wanted him to be in love with Avery, the crueler he would treat himself.
'Moore, you are so stupid!' Zed thought.
He looked at Moore with a complex expression, feeling really guilty about the compromise they both had made today.
Moore had sacrificed his love and happiness to make both Jean and Avery happy. And he had sacrificed his happiness so as not to tell Jean about his feelings for her.
'Jean has always wanted to set Moore up with Avery and now her wish has finally come true today.
But will Moore fall in love with Avery? Will he be happy?
I guess no. He loves Jean, not Avery, ' Zed thought.
Zed was in a bad mood, because he knew what Moore was thinking about. He wanted to tell Jean frankly that Moore didn't love Avery at all. But when he saw that Jean was so happy for them, his willpower and resolution failed and he didn't say anything.
Back in the bedroom, Jean was still immersed in her excitement. Lying in bed with her legs crossed, she was eating an apple while gossiping with Maranda over the phone about what had happened today, and her voice was full of pride.
"Maranda, from today onwards, I'm a successful matchmaker. I am so great!" She exclaimed.
"What? Matchmaker? For whom?" Maranda asked with her voice full of curiosity and excitement. She had never picked Jean for a match-making type girl.
"You'll never believe it! It's Moore and the international superstar Vikki. You know what? They turned out to be university classmates, and Vikki has been in love with him for several years now..."
Just as she was busy talking to Maranda about the whole affair, her cellphone was suddenly snatched away by someone.
Jean instantly looked up and saw it was Zed. Wearing a towel, he had just come out of the bathroom with his chest bare.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jean's face got red with fury all of a sudden. She was somewhat annoyed by his behavior and couldn't understand what he was trying to do. "Give my cell phone back. Why did you take it away like that?" She shouted.
"You can gossip about everything and everyone. Why do you have to mention Moore and Avery again?" Zed looked terrible with his eyebrows knitted. "Jean, I have told you not to force Moore to do anything he is unwilling to do. Did you forget about that? What the hell were you doing today then? You forced Moore to accept Avery as his girlfriend, didn't you?"
"What? I'm forcing him?" Hearing Zed's words, Jean burst into anger all of a sudden. "Zed, what's wrong with you? You were there with us today. And it was Moore himself who said that he was willing to be Avery's boyfriend. I didn't force him to say yes!"
Seeing that Jean couldn't even realize her own fault, Zed got angrier. 'She's so ridiculous!' he thought. Then he told Jean in a cold voice, "Jean, if you hadn't said all those soft words in front of him, do you really think he would have said yes? Friends? Family members? You are worried about him? You care about him? Blah blah blah! Moore thought that he would be letting you down if he said no. Did he think correctly?
Jean, you are so stupid! Hasn't Moore already told you that he has fallen in love with some other girl? Don't you know that? Then why are you forcing him to be Avery's boyfriend? Now, I know that you like Avery and she is surely a good girl, but it doesn't mean that Moore likes her, too. Don't you understand that? You can never force Moore to fall in love with someone he doesn't like."
