Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 209

"Zed......" Looking guilty and innocent, Jean walked up to her husband and said, "I forgot about our weekend plan with Jesse......"

"It doesn't matter. Now that you remember, it makes no difference." Zed kissed Jean on the forehead as he walked by, drying his hair.

"But......" Jean bit her lips, embarrassed of what she was about to say. "I have actually made a previous appointment with my colleague. I promised her that I would accompany her this weekend......"

Jean was afraid to tell Zed that she was going to accompany Maranda to a match making date. She was almost sure that it would upset Zed.

"Accompany her?" He looked at Jean and asked. "Why would your colleague need you to accompany her?" Zed didn't understand the need to be there for her colleague.

"She is kind of my friend and we made plans to hang out this weekend......" Jean felt a little embarrassed as she replied.

"I see. Okay! If you have already promised her then it would be inappropriate for you to stand her up!" Zed really felt happy for Jean that she had now started making friends at work.

For the whole time since they have gotten married, he barely saw anyone close to her.

If this person was reliable and trust-worthy, then this weekend could......

"How do you plan to make it work with both appointments?" Zed looked at Jean and asked.

"How about this? We set off on Saturday and this Friday evening, I will be with my colleague." Jean felt that it was a fair arrangement and was positive about it.

"I suppose so! It's just for one night. But, do you think you can make it? Aren't you going to be too stressed out? I mean, hanging out with your colleague Friday night and then going out with us the following day......" Zed was a little worried that this weekend might tire her out.

"Oh, don't worry about me. I have more than enough energy and I'm really excited for both." Jean figured that she could easily manage both days so she answered real quick.

After all, it was the first time that Maranda asked her and she seemed pretty desperate and in need of her help.

She really didn't want to turn her down.

She wasn't sure if she could really be of help to Maranda, but as long as she was there for moral support, it would make Maranda feel better.

"Okay! It's settled then." Zed nodded, he grabbed Jean and locked her in his arms, stared at her affectionately. "My love, don't you think it's time you had a baby for me? You are always insecure about me going around town with other women. If there was a baby in our family, I think you can be totally at ease!"

Jean didn't expect that the minute they finished discussing something important, Zed would immediately become flirty.

She couldn't help blushing and stuttered "I...... I am not ready......"

"Oh please. Not ready for what?" Zed teased her by breathing gently on her neck, "We just let it run its course. As long as we don't use protection, it will naturally happen. Whenever the baby comes, we will be ready for it, what do you say? Don't you look forward to becoming a mother?"

Jean looked at Zed blankly. Then she sighed inwardly and just nodded.

Zed was always pretty insistent on the baby issue. He brought it up pretty often.

If she continued to deny him, it could cause an issue between them, especially on his side.

But, was she really ready for a baby?

They were still young and their marriage had just started to go well.

If a baby came into their lives now, wouldn't it have a major impact on their closeness and intimacy?

"Don't overthink it. As long as we have our baby, our love will only grow stronger and more meaningful. I guarantee that you won't regret it." Zed pulled Jean over and grabbed his much treasured wife, gently squeezing her into his chest.

Jean couldn't help but give in. She just closed her eyes and fell into it, body and soul.

'Never mind. Just let everything go.

Maranda was still immersed in her own happiness and didn't notice that something was off.

When she calmed down, she noticed Jean had stayed quiet for quite a long time and a touch of hidden sadness played on her face.

Time flew, and the days passed by quietly.

As she had promised Maranda, Jean prepared ahead of time and did quite an effort on her outfit.

When she rushed into the club, Maranda and the match maker man were already waiting.

What surprised her was that besides Maranda and a wealthy looking playboy, there was another young man sitting on the couch, smoking. He was dressed casually.

Jean was out of breath and embarrassed, she apologized, "Sorry I'm late."

"No, you weren't late at all" Maranda stood up and welcomed her. A complex look flashed on her face, she made a forced smile and said, "Jean, your look today is...... quite unique......"

Jean looked at her outfit and laughed.

Of course, she dressed up before she came out tonight.

Bright colors, blonde curly hair and heavy makeup with some deliberate rosy smears.

She looked like an unreliable woman. The kind you pay for company.

Tonight was about Maranda, but if she had such an unreliable woman by her side, doing unreliable things then they can save themselves some time. No need to bother for explanations.

Since it was Maranda's idea for Jean to sabotage this match making, Then she was going to sabotage it from top to bottom and all the way through.
