Chapter 615 No Worries

Jean knew she had to talk to Avery and clear some issues regarding her responsibilities and decisions about her career. Seeing Zed smiling and nodding at her in agreement, Jean was thankful that he was very supportive of her own decisions and even managed the business that she couldn't help. She then turned her gaze to Avery and before speaking, she let out a sigh. "I understand that you don't want us to interfere with your decisions, since you chose to treat us this way and conceal us from everything, deciding without asking for our opinions. However, when Moore finally reciprocated your love, I couldn't help but work out options as well, so I asked Zed to handle this matter for your sake and everyone else's. In line of this, Avery, let me ask you a question. Are you really determined to retire from the show business? For the sake of Moore?"

Jean asked with a serious look on her face.

Upon hearing Jean's question, Adolf's eyebrows furrowed into a frown.

'What should be done? What's the solution?

Does she really ask Avery to quit the showbiz?' he thought.

Adolf's train of thoughts was interrupted when Avery cleared her throat. Without hesitation, Avery nodded and added, "I don't want to be away from Moore. Retiring from showbiz is the only choice for me so that I could conveniently be with him."

"Avery..." Moore choked. Her words stunned Moore.

He had known from Adolf about Avery's great affection for him, but he was still shocked to really witness how much Avery would do just to be with him. He felt his heart race, because it was also the first time that Avery really told him out loud that she was willing to quit her passion and career for the sake of him.

Hearing Moore's call for her, Avery turned to him and gave him a reassuring smile before she explained. "Oh, Moore, you don't have to feel guilty and obliged. I really just want a reason to quit," she said, looking at him with bright eyes in an attempt to comfort him and relieve him from the heavy feeling he was probably feeling.

Moore cocked an eyebrow and questioned with doubt, "Really?"

Deep in his heart, Moore didn't believe Avery's farfetched excuse. He knew that Avery was just saying it for the sake of him, even though she was really doing this for him. Still, he thought that Avery was already going through so much and questioning her more about it would just bring her more problems.

Avery frowned at him and replied back in a soft voice, "Of course, how could I lie to you?"

Moore didn't know how to respond to that and instead, he forced a weak smile on his face. When he was pressured to think of a reply, Jean had saved him and interjected. She felt like they were already diverting away from her purpose of talking to Avery.

"Enough about that. Let's get to the point. Avery, since you are really willing without hesitation to quit showbiz, I believe that would be easy to handle. Then again, you shed blood, sweat, and tears to earn money, so let me ask you another question again. Maybe you're willing to quit, but are you willing to hand over your hard-earned money to the hands and the benefits of others? I am certain that you are reluctant just by seeing your reaction right now. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's why we have come up of a way for you to still continue spending your time and efforts in show business and still have time and the convenience to see Moore often."

Avery's eyes lit up at the sound of that. She felt excitement and curiosity fill her that she couldn't help but ask, "What is it, Jean?"

"I apologize if I keep asking you questions, but let me ask another one. I will offer you a choice wherein you can stil

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.

"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.

"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.

escribe it?"

"Oh, Jean," Zed said. He gave Jean a smirk before he responded again, "Believe me. It's not what you think it is."

Jean blushed at Zed's reply and smirked. She didn't expect that Zed would see through her mind and know what she was thinking. "What do I think?" She asked, turning bright red.

"You think that our relationship is very intimate and mysterious. In all honesty, my relationship with Juan is just... absolutely pure. To put it simply, we are friends willing to die for the sake of the other."

Zed paused, because he couldn't help but sigh at how Jean was looking at him. He continued, "That is, when either one of us is in danger, the other will be willing to save the one in danger even at the expense of his own life. Do you understand now?"

"Yes, I get it now." After replying, Jean eyed Zed and asked, "But, why don't I know that you have such a friend?"

"Well, I..." With a bitter irony to the situation, Zed paused, thinking about how to give her a proper reply.

As a matter of fact, Jean was unclear about a lot of things about his life. This was just one of them.

However, how could he explain it now? Jean noticed that Zed seemed to be in a dilemma as to how to reply. Before he could clear his thoughts, she decided to change the topic.

"Well, since everything has been resolved, we can now free ourselves from the worry that has been bothering us." Jean then turned to Avery and smiled, "Avery, you can rest assured now. If you still have any more request, don't hesitate to tell us, okay?"

"Yes, I understand now that I should never conceal anything from you in the future,"

Avery replied with embarrassment and looked rather shy.

Jean felt assured at Avery's promise. She then turned to Moore and smiled at him.

Moore looked back at Jean with an apologetic face. He felt sorry for making her worry about matters and issues related to him.

Noticing Moore's expression, Jean shook her head to assure him that he had nothing to worry about, and that she hoped that her smile would let him know that she would still be willing to help in the future. Moore saw this and gave her a weak smile. Feeling satisfied, Jean shifted her gaze to Zed and hugged his arm.

"Speaking of Juan, when will he come here, Zed? Hearing about your pure relationship with him, I could hardly wait to meet this Juan,"

Jean said, looking like a spoiled child as she battered her eyelashes at Zed.
