Jensen suddenly felt that there was something strange about Zayne that day. Could it be that he was troubled by something?
Was that why he wasn't able to hold back his annoyance and was so bothered by everything that enraged him?
It was true that Heinz didn't handle the whole issue very well.
However, it wouldn't make sense for Zayne to get so harsh at him even if he felt that Heinz hadn't handled the matter properly, or if his attitude was bad, or even if he was reckless and having sided with Simon.
Moreover, Heinz's decision was a mature one too. He just wanted to eliminate more problems from developing once and for all.
Jensen had always thought of Zayne as a mature minded bachelor, and he had been a mature person since he was young.
Yet, Zayne was acting so strongly against Heinz that day.
It did seem a little over the line for him to be treating Heinz this way, especially since Heinz was older than him by years.
Although Jensen didn't want to offend Zayne, he couldn't bear to let Heinz, who was his good friend to be accused like that either. So, in the end, he decided to side with Heinz.
Jensen smiled and said, "Zayne, should you be seeking the doctor's advice? I'm afraid your hormones might be imbalanced since you've been single for so long. The overabundance of your adrenal hormones might affect your health somehow.
You should treat it earlier if you have an endocrinological problem. Or to make things easier, you should start looking for a girlfriend. Then, there would be no need to treat it."
Zayne cast a sidelong glance at Jensen and smiled a little scornfully. "Mr. Charm, is it appropriate for you to be making such remarks as a senior police officer?"
Jensen did not fly into a rage from embarrassment. Instead, he smiled faintly as he answered Zayne.
" How is this inappropriate? I'm just giving you some honest advice," Jensen explained immediately, "Zayne, you might find it harsh but those are all sincere advice, and they are for your
own good."
Zayne smiled faintly. "You should advise Heinz instead. Everything that I said earlier were also just my piece of advice to him as well."
Jensen was startled for a moment and immediately laughed. "Heinz is a married man. There's nothing wrong with his hormones. Also, it proves that their marriage is a happy one if they're having so many children together. Shouldn't you be happy for them too?"
Zayne laughed.
Jensen was really good at changing the topic.
Zayne laughed again. "Mr. Charm, you are indeed good. Also, you and Heinz really do share a touching friendship!"
Jensen immediately said with a smile, "Your compliment makes me feel a little embarrassed. I am indeed close with Heinz. We are beyond friends, we are even relatives. So, I always want the best for him, and I would always share his burden with him. This is what good friends do for each other."
Zayne snorted as if he was dismissive of what Jensen said.
He was a smart man, so it was easy for him to see that Jensen was helping Heinz excuse himself.
Hearing Zayne snorting, Jensen didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he laughed.
He looked even happier.
Jensen continued, "Look, Heinz is worried about you, and at the same time he was worried about Timothy being anxious about your relationship status too. As for me, I am worried about Heinz, as well as you. Alice and Grace are also both worried about you. We are all anxious to help you settle down."
Zayne frowned and was about to say something, only to be interrupted by Jensen again. It seemed like Jensen came prepared.
"It's rare to have you and Timothy over today. This is the first time in so many years that we are all together, spending such happy time together. Besides, I got to see you here too. So please, just let me give you some advice."
Zayne raised his brows and said in surprise, "I really never expect you to be this kind."
"I guess that's what comes with my job." Jensen chuckled. "You know, as a police officer, especially when I'm promoted to be leading the team, I tend to worry a lot about many things, and about the society.
In one of my recent surveys, I happened to notice that there is an increase in the crime rate among young unmarried individuals every year.
Experts claim that there must be some underlying factors among those unmarried people, and they might cause harm to the society.
If these individuals were to get married in the future with these underlying factors, it would only result in more and more dysfunctional families. That's why I wanted to advise you as I see that you're still single.
Don't interrupt me. I'm getting older and I might forget what I wanted to say if I get interrupted.
In short, let me tell you everything I want to say today. Who knows when we will get to talk to each other like this again in the future, am I right?"
Zayne frowned upon hearing his lengthy statement. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to stop him that day.
Was he really such a kind-hearted police officer?
Was he really concerned about the stability of the society?
What was the point in making himself sound so noble?
