Chapter 629 Are You Willing To Bring Shame On Me, Honey
"Don''t be upset, Jean. We''re still in the same city. We''ll still be able to see each other," Moore said in an
attempt tofort the unhappy Jean.
"Fine. I have more free time on my hands than you anyway. I guess I''ll use that time to check up on you
then." Jean had finally epted the fact that Moore was going to move out of the Qi Mansion no matter
what they said. She nodded, giving up.
"That''s settled then." Moore took a quick nce at Jean, but quickly averted his gaze. He wanted to
say a lot of things to her but for obvious reasons, could''t.
''I''m sorry, Jean. I have to leave this ce.
If I don''t, I''m scared to death that you''ll see through me, that someday, you''ll start to notice my feelings
for you.
I can''t even begin to imagine how you''ll react once you find out I''ve been in love with you since the
start.
I don''t want to hurt you, nor do I want to put you in that situation.
That''s why I''ve decided that if my leaving will ensure your happiness in the future, I''d dly do it.

I just hope that without me, you and Zed will be happy forever!'' Moore bitterly thought.
Zed was relieved that Jean didn''t show any further resistance to Moore moving out, and that she didn''t
me Zed at all. "So, now that you''re moving out, what are your ns?" he shot Moore with a look of
concern.
"Well, I did major in Business administration." Moore turned to Zed and smiled. "So, I''ll probably find a
job in a rted field."
"Well, how about that? You cane to mypany!" Zed invited him earnestly. "You don''t even have
to worry about anything. If you coulde and help me with things at thepany, I would have more
time with Jean in the days toe. Since her belly is growing day by day, she''ll need me to be there
for her. So it''ll really give me some peace of mind if you would be there to help me."
"That''s right!" Jean nodded in agreement, a bit too excited. Her eyes visibly brightened and she said, "If
you join Zed''spany, it will not only help him, but you''ll help me as well!"
"But..." Moore''s face was red with embarrassment. He felt trapped. He was trying to slowly fade away
from Zed and Jean''s life.
But if he joined Zed''spany, it would undo his efforts in leaving the Qi family.
"Please don''t argue anymore. It''s already settled!" Jean said, cutting off any potential protest from
Moore. "I don''t care why you want to move out, Moore. I promise. But there will be no further
discussion about you joining Zed''spany," she said, as if he had no say in the matter.
She looked at Moore intently and continued with a firm tone, "However, if you don''t see Zed and I as
your friends, then just forget it."
"Alright, fine. I promise I''ll join Zed''spany." Moore saw that he had no choice but to ept. With a
heavy heart, he sighed and just nodded his head in response.
When Moore finally agreed, Jean gifted him with a big fat smile. "In that case, I forgive you for moving
out so suddenly. After all, you made this decision so you and Avery can have more privacy together.
Avery will be staying in H City and will continue to grow. It''s only right that you two have your own
home. But Moore..."
Jean broke off with a heavy expression forming on her tender face.
"What?" Moore looked at her and asked.
"Are you really sure you want to go back to Harkin Garden? After all it''s one of the Bai family''s
properties. I believe that if you don''t want anything to do with them anymore, you shouldn''t go back
there," Jean looked at Moore and asked, brows creased in concern.
"Don''t worry, Jean. I have promised Hanley that I would attend the party of the Bai family this weekend.
Let''s see what happens then. If I leave the Bai family for good, I''ll just find another house,"
Moore answered after a moment of silence.
"Wait, you still need to find a house?" Jean asked and then cast a stern nce at Zed, who was
standing beside her.
"Well, since you promised to join ourpany, I''ll arrange the proper amodations for you as soon
as possible. Think of this as a way of buying you over,"
Zed smirked as he teased Moore. Jean heard this, and immediately beamed. "You definitely cannot
refuse, Moore!"
"Zed, Jean." Moore looked at both of them and sighed. "I can''t ept this. You know I can''t. You''ve
helped me enough. So please respect my choice and let me find a home on my own. Also, yes, I''m still
going back to Harkin Garden for a while. After all, although it was bought by Gary, it was given to me by
the name of my adoptive parents..."
"Well, we won''t impose on you anymore," Jean said after Moore finished.
She only wanted to help out of kindness, but if she pressed further and started to bother Moore, that
kindness could turn to annoyance.
That was thest thing she wanted to see.
"Thank you both for understanding me," Moore smiled and said gratefully.
Jean returned the smile. After that, she stopped insisting and just kept quiet. They then went their
separate ways.
The Qi Mansion became quiet as night fell. Outside, the crickets were in full chorus. That was the only
sound that broke the eerie silence of the night. In the master bedroom, Jean just finished showering
and went out the bathroom. She saw Zed lying on the bed, eyes closed.
Jean climbed onto the bed, put the covers on herself and snuggled onto Zed. She sighed and looked
the white, immacte ceiling and murmured, "Do you think I''ve been interfering too much in Moore''s
problems, Zed?"
"What made you say that?" Zed asked in return as he opened his eyes to his wife''s voice, and turned
to her.
"I always had this nagging feeling that Moore was reluctant to stay at our house was because he
thought I was interfering too much in his life." Jean looked at Zed, sighed, and continued, "That''s why
he wanted to move out. Even when we just wanted to help him find a decent house, he was so
reluctant to ept it."
"You''re over thinking this, Jean," Zed said, attempting tofort his wife. "Listen, Moore said he didn''t
want to go back to the Bai family, but think about it this way, if he really wanted the Bai family out of his
life, why on earth would he still like to live in the house Gary bought?"
Jean heard Zed''s words and her eyes widened in curiosity. She turned to him and asked, "Why?"
"If Moore had no more feelings for Gary and the Bai family, he would have left H City, let alone stay in
Gary''s house," Zed went on to exin.
"So you mean Moore still has feelings for the Bai family, so he promised Hanley that he would attend
the weekend dinner?" Jean asked with bright eyes.
"Well, you''ll find out tomorrow." Zed smiled mysteriously at Jean and continued, "If you want to see
what''s really going on with Moore and the Bai family tomorrow, you''d better dress up nicely and go to
that dinner with me."
"Great!" Jean answered in anticipation. Her face flushed with excitement. "I''ll be waiting for you at
home tomorrow. I''ll dress up nicely and I definitely won''t bring you shame!"
"Are you willing to bring shame on me, honey?" Zed asked with a devilishly handsome smile.
When Jean heard his question, she turned red as a tomato. She covered her face with the silk nkets
and said, her voice quivering and muffled, "I''m going to sleep now. I won''t talk to you anymore."
Seeing his wife''s embarrassed reaction, Zed chuckled and climbed down the bed and went to take a
cold shower in the bathroom.
The sun rose the next day, as it always has. The light poured forth the ss windows and gave Jean''s
sleeping face a radiant glow. Not soon after, she awoke.
She got up quickly as if in race against time, rushed to the shower, got dressed and ran downstairs.
Zed had juste to the porch near their bedroom. He heard his wife''s voice, turned around and saw
Jean''s anxious face. He couldn''t help asking, "What''s wrong, dear? Why are you in such a hurry?
You''re sweating already! Be careful…"
