Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 227

The sight of the approving crowd and the sound of their cheers were too much for Jean. Her eyes started welling up until her vision blurred. She was about to burst into tears. She turned to run away before anyone could see her.

Just at that time, someone grabbed her hand and stopped her.

Through blurry eyes Jean saw Eva's angry face, which scared her a little.

Jean struggled to get out of her grasp. She didn't want to deal with anyone right now, with her heart being shattered into thousands of pieces.

"Why the hell do you want to run away? Jean Wen, are you a fool? Zed is your husband. You are Mrs. Qi! You are the only one who is in the position to stand beside him, feeding him that stupid kebab, not that snake, Jesse!" Eva was now holding both of Jean's wrists and looking at her with her angry eyes. Seeing Jean just cry and run away, without fighting back made her more than a little upset.

Just moments ago, Eva had warned Jean to be around Zed all the time.

But this little weakling turned a deaf ear to her warning. As expected, Jesse caught the opportunity to shove herself close to Zed. Now the actual legal wife, without any fighting spirit could do nothing but watch and cry to herself.

Eva scoffed, "Pathetic! Jean, you are such a soft girl that even weird girls like Jesse can take advantage of you. Obviously, it's no use crying over it now."

"Eva, please stop saying that." With tears streaming down her face, Jean shook her head and said, "I don't have the strength to walk over there, pretending that I don't care about their intimate behavior. I don't think I can do that."

Jean was devastated, like a beaten dog.

Right now, the only thing she wanted to do was find a private place to lick her wounds.

"Jean Wen, I knew that I could turn you into a failure, but didn't expect that you could be such a HUGE failure, " Eva stressed on the word 'huge'. "And you seem to have forgotten, that you're the rightful Mrs. Qi. As for other women, no matter how beautiful or noble they are, if they covet your husband, people know that it's totally inappropriate. What's more, for the 100th time..." Eva rolled her eyes. "... it is an indisputable fact that you are Zed's lawfully wedded wife. You have to stand up to defend your right, or other women will walk all over you. Is that what you want?"

Eva continued through gritted teeth, "Do you still not know what kind of person Jesse really is? It is time to take action to protect your marriage now, or they will kick you out of the house soon. Don't wait until it is too late. Jean, show me your courage and spirit. I will fight with you.

If you keep tolerating Jesse's insanity, you're just encouraging her. And I know that you're not really stupid. You know exactly that if you leave Zed now, Jesse will be more than delighted to have the chance to win Zed's love. And you will be the one who will end up with nothing but a lifetime full of pain and regret. Do you really want to give up Zed? Are you really ready to break up with him? You're practically in love with Zed already, aren't you? I can see it in your eyes."

Eva fixed her eyes on Jean and finally calmed down.

"No..." Jean replied and kept shaking her head.

"Stop crying! Don't deny your true feelings. I can tell from your pained face how much you love Zed. Just admit that you love him. There is no shame in that, not to mention that he is your husband." Eva cried out angrily, getting impatient having to tell Jean over and over again, that she is Zed's wife.

"Why? Eva..." Jean sobbed. "Why is it so painful and so difficult to love him? What can I do to stop loving him? I'm getting really tired."

"Jean, love does not just disappear once you get sucked into it." Eva calmed down and continued, "Jean, to be honest, you're luckier than me. You can't believe how much I envy you. At least, you are Zed's wife and his eyes are still bent on you. While me... look at me, ..."

Eva paused, showing her sad face. Then she continued, "Zed and I used to be in love. Sadly for me, I still love him. As you know, I have tried all means to get his love again. And as you can see, he doesn't even remember that I exist anymore. Jean, if you don't want to get to the point where you will have to beg for his love in the near future, you'd better take action right now, or you will lose him very soon. What you should do now is to face it and bravely fight for Zed's love."

"I dare not..." Jean closed her eyes and said, "Just as you could see, Zed and Jesse are perfect for each other. I am totally out of their league."
