Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"Okay, then let's do as you said," Jean nodded.

"In that case, I’ll ring them up later," said Barton. Meanwhile, Zoe, who'd been busy in the kitchen, finally called them over for dinner. Upon seeing the various dishes on the table, Jean grinned and said, "Miss Lin, you're surprisingly adept in cooking. It seems that I'll have a fine meal today."

"Miss Gu, please don't make fun of me." Zoe felt rather discomfited to be praised by Jean. "I whipped these up casually. Please forgive me if they're not to your taste."

"Rest assured. I’m not a picky eater. I'm satisfied as long as I have something to eat." Jean smiled graciously.

Barton glanced at the two women in front of him and said, "Don't just stand there like fools. Go on, sit."

While Jean sat down, Zoe said, "No, thanks. Please enjoy your meal."

Jean seemed surprised. "Miss Lin, you’re not going to eat with us?"

Zoe shook her head. "No, sorry. I still have something to do, s

possibly be together?"

"Why not? I think she’s really a good person. Are you really not interested in her at all?" Jean’s eyes were focused on Barton. It was as if she was trying to not miss any change in his expression.

Barton said nothing. He looked towards the kitchen, imagining the life he might have with her. Zoe indeed fitted him almost in all aspects, so it wasn’t such a bad idea to be with her. However, when he thought about their age difference, he couldn’t help but give that idea up.

Before Jean mentioned it, such an idea had never crossed his mind. Perhaps because there was a huge age gap between the two of them, he unconsciously never treated Zoe as a partner.

He shook his head to clear his mind. "Don't talk nonsense. It's impossible between us."

Although he was a little hesitant, he eventually chose to squash the possibility.

Jean sighed in secret when she heard what he said. "Don't you have feelings for her?"
