Chapter 623 Zed Would Handle It

Avery shook her head nervously and said to Moore with a serious note in her voice, "Moore, if you have to apologize to the assistant director, I would like to go with you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in a fight with him in the first place. So I should be the one to apologize to him and not you."

"Avery! "

Jean startled from what she just learned. Her eyes got bigger as she stared at them with astonishment.

'How did things become like this?' Jean thought.

Jean had no other way but to look at Zed for some answers. Obviously, she had already forgotten that she said she didn't want to talk to him moments ago.

Zed saw Jean's questioning look, so he leaned over and assured her, "I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry!"

"Zed..." Moore stepped in and was about to tell him that he didn't need to do that, but Zed raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"Just stay right there, Moore. I can handle everything. Avery, you need to stay with him. I'll be back soon." Zed was walking toward the exit as he spoke with his strong and confident voice.

Moore and Avery wanted to follow suit but Jean stopped them. "It would be best if you two will stay here. Let Zed take care of this problem. I am confident that he can handle this. We should trust him."

"Jean, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you and Zed," Moore apologized to Jean as he felt remorseful. He knew too well that he had brought trouble for them again.

Jean shook her head and assured him, "Moore, what are friends for? You were never a trouble to us. But I'll be mad if you keep saying that you are."

"Jean, I'm a little worried about Zed. I'll go and have a look. You can stay here with Moore,"

Avery stared at Jean and said with her distressed voice.

"That's fine. You may go!" Jean nodded her head slowly to Avery.

Avery bowed her head with gratitude to Jean and muttered, "Thank you." Then she hurriedly walked to the direction where Zed left.

Jean felt a little strange. She couldn't quite understand why Avery followed Zed, considering he pointed out earlier that she was supposed to stay with Moore. Why did she need to see the assistant director?

Moore seemed to have read her mind. He took a deep breath and made a remark, "I think Avery is just worried that the assistant director will not accept Zed's apology, on behalf of me and Avery. If that happens, then she can step in and apologize to him personally."

Jean never thought of that, but she clearly understood it now. She waited for few seconds and nodded approvingly.

After all, it was partly Avery's fault. Moore fought with the assistant director to protect her.

So it would be best if she could be the one to apologize to the director.

Aside from that, Jean felt that Avery didn't trust Zed that he was capable to handle thi

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

om me!" Jean stared at Moore's face with certainty. "I'm sure you are."

"Oh, come on. I'm not. Why can't you believe me?" Moore acted sheepishly.

"Well, I knew it. Don't be shy to tell me!" Jean said to Moore. "I know you're in love with Avery. You acted strange lately especially if people talked about her. I just wanted you to know that I knew you would like her. She is beautiful and sweet. And she would do everything for you. It's only a matter of time that you fall for her too. I knew you would… but I didn't expect you will fall for her so easily! I'm so happy for both of you!"

Jean glanced at Moore with happiness. She was excited and could't wait to see them together.

Moore felt awkward when he saw how happy she was. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

There was a sudden pinch in his heart. He then lowered his head with apparent sadness.

'Well, how can I deny that?

Arguing with you is the last thing on my mind now and it doesn't matter what you think. So let it go!' Moore thought.

"Are you okay, Moore? You seemed not very happy. Does your wound hurt again?" Jean's excitement had gone and she was now concerned with Moore as he seemed to be upset.

"No, it doesn't. " Moore raised his head abruptly and nodded to Jean. "I just didn't expect that you will be that happy for me and Avery."

However, his tone didn't match his words. He was sad and despaired.

Although Jean could sometimes be naive, this time she couldn't help but notice that distinct sadness in his eyes.

"I will always be happy for you and Avery. You and Avery are my best friends. It's good that there's someone to look after you and to care for you. You will no longer feel alone. So I should be happy for you, shouldn't I?"

Jean looked at Moore straight in the eyes. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation of good things to come.
