Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 264

When Zed turned around and saw Jesse, his frown disappeared. However, he became concerned when he saw that Jesse was out of breath and seemed anxious.

Considering the situation, he felt it was inadvisable and unwise for him to go to the hospital to see Jean, but Jesse could go there in his place.

With this thought in mind, Zed felt warm inside. He walked over to Jesse and consoled her, "Don't worry. Jean is not a child. She will be fine."

"But she didn't look well when she left in the morning. I am really worried about her..." Jesse said with concern.

"Perhaps she needs some time to calm down and think. Jesse, go back and get some rest. I will inform you as soon as I have any news about her." Zed comforted her gently.

"Oh..." Jesse was a little bewildered when she noticed that Zed didn't seem worried about Jean's disappearance. When she thought about what happened the previous night, Jesse guessed that Zed might be really heartbroken. At the thought that Zed and Jean wouldn't reconcile anymore, she felt relieved.

"Rest assured and go back to have a rest. I need to prepare for an upcoming meeting. I'm sorry but I won't be able to accompany you." Zed spoke to Jesse while grabbing the documents on his desk.

"Okay, brother Zed. You go ahead with your meeting." Jesse hurriedly waved her hand at Zed and ran away as quickly as she could.

The smile on Zed's face slowly disappeared. When Jesse had left his office, Zed heaved a heavy sigh.

He had been so tempted to tell Jesse that Jean was in hospital.

When he recalled that several minutes of the video had been deleted, he dropped the idea of making Jean's whereabouts known to Jesse. He had hired someone to fix the video.

Everything would be made clear once the video was fixed. If the video could not be fixed, then he would act accordingly.

But for now, Zed wanted to control who knew about Jean. Although Zed didn't suspect Jesse at all, he feared he would put Jean in danger if anyone else knew too much, including Jesse.

Hence, Zed changed his mind about telling Jesse that Jean was in the hospital.

Although worried, Zed reassured himself that Jean was safe. After all, Toby, Zed's muscleman, had been stationed at the hospital and he would watch out for Jean. Zed would be informed of her situation no matter what happened to Jean.

Therefore, the fewer the people who knew where Jean was, the better, Zed thought.

Zed paced in front of his desk as he thought about all that had happened. His concern for Jean surfaced despite all his efforts to stay calm. He was desperate to be by Jean's side. But in consideration of Jean's safety, he finally changed his mind and decided that staying away from her would be the safer alternative. And so, he had spent the day at his office working.

Jesse left the office building and headed straight for the parking lot. It wasn't long before she had found her key and climbed into her car. Once inside, she didn't drive off. Instead she sat in the driver's seat and glared at the windscreen in bewilderment and confusion.

She had grown up with Zed, and so she understood him well. She knew that Zed would be rather angry after watching the video last night. But he behaved so calmly that it perplexed Jesse. Another thought that worried Jesse was Zed's reaction to the news. When she had informed Zed of Jean's disappearance, she had expected him to search for Jean. However, he did not. Jesse was confused by his reactions.

She couldn't figure out why he behaved like this. Jean was his wife, and the daughter-in-law of the well-respected Qi Family.

No man could be that indifferent and apathetic if he learned that something had happened to his wife, no matter if he loved his wife or not.

Was a part of Zed completely different from the one that she had known?
