"It's because…" Jean rested her head on Zed's chest and whispered, "I know when it comes to the matters of love, anyone can be selfish in a relationship. But I always thought you're different from the rest. You're simply the best, you bring out the best in everything. I always tell myself with pride that I'm so lucky to be your wife.
You have no idea how grateful I am to have you, Zed. I thank God that I met you and thank him for bringing us closer together. Loving you and sharing things with you are the best things in the world for me. And now we have our little one. Life keeps getting better with you.
Sometimes, I am overwhelmed with joy to a point that I never realized I was neglecting you already. I always thought you knew how much I love you and there were no doubts in your mind. But I have seen a different Zed today…"
Talking about this, a weak smile formed on Jean's flushed face.
Zed lowered down his eyes to meet Jean's, not knowing how to react.
"Zed, why do you feel insecure? He was just a classmate from primary school. And you know how much I love you, so how could you lose control and be upset? Do you know how sad I am to see you that way?"
"Jean…" Unable to say the words he meant to say, Zed sighed and hugged her. "I know how much you love me but it's just that I'm afraid to lose you. You're an enchanting woman. I felt threatened sometimes. You can't blame me to feel that way. Part of me doesn't want to share you with other people…"
"Hmm, you still have doubts about me." A lazy smile crossed Jean's face. "In my heart, I only have one man and that's you. But you know that I also need to interact with other people. So stop thinking this nonsense, okay? I'm your wife and I'm yours. My love for you is endless. But all I want is just little freedom and I would never break my promise to you."
"Okay. I knew it was my fault and I am just a jealous guy here. I just felt uncomfortable why you didn't tell him you're married in the first place,"
Zed blurted out.
"I told you, I was supposed to tell him but I was interrupted by Maranda. Is it such a big deal for you? Whenever I met other men, do I need to tell them to back off because I'm married?"
Jean asked at Zed with a baffled look.
"There's no need to do that." His face turned red with embarrassment upon hearing her.
"Zed, you got to trust me." Jean lifted her head up to look at Zed's eyes and whispered as their conversation changed from humorous note to a serious one.
"Yes, I do trust you. I always will." Zed nodded as he stroked her hair lovingly.
"After talking for so long, you got me starving!" Jean quipped after seeing Zed had mellowed down.
"Let's get something to eat." Zed reached out to hug Jean and gave a wet smooch on the lips. He then whispered, "Honey, I love you. I love you more than you'll ever know."
Jean giggled and couldn't stop herself from blushing. "Are you talking to me? I can't quite hear you."
"Baby, I love you." Seeing Jean's coyness, Zed quickly shouted towards her ear.
Jean immediately released herself from his hug, stared at him angrily. "Very funny, I am almost deaf."
"I'm so sorry," Zed apologized with a smirk. He then scooped Jean up and went downstairs.
"Hey, put me down! I can walk. Moore will be here any minute. If he sees us, we will all be embarrassed!"
Jean stopped upon seeing Zed's numb look.
"It's no use. He has already seen us," said Zed. While still lifting Jean, Zed walked towards the living room and greeted Moore, "Hey, you're back. I thought you're having dinner with Avery."
