Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 295

Jean and Moore made their way into the canteen. They took in their surroundings and found just a couple of people around. The reason being that it was still very early for supper. Looking at it as an advantage, they quietly sat down to talk peacefully. They found a place in the corner and ordered food right away.

Their order took less time than they had expected. The waiter brought a huge pot with everything they had ordered. Moore was not hungry at all but as soon as the food arrived, Jean started to devour everything at once. They both had decided to sit facing each other. But seeing Jean eat her food deliciously, Moore raised an eyebrow.

Moore was curious about Jean's past. He always had this urge to ask her about it but he never did.

Everything flashed through his mind. He had heard that Henry was a ruthless human being who didn't care for his own daughter. Her stepmother even tried persuading him to treat Jean right but he just couldn't. The real question that remained unanswered was if all that was true.

"Jean, can I ask you something? I don't know if it is appropriate at this moment though." He could see the expression of her face change and something went through her mind. Moore had always hesitated in asking her about anything and this time, he had made up his mind to ask Jean about her past.

"What is it that you want to ask me?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she nodded in assurance to make sure that Moore could proceed with his question.

"With everything that has been going on, I don't know if you know this or not but everybody at the hospital knows about the Wen Family. Joy and Shirley have denied the facts and instead cried their hearts out in order to prove themselves innocent. Now, everybody thinks that you are the ungrateful one...."

Before Moore could finish, the tone of Jean's voice changed. Moore realized this as soon as Jean started speaking. She said,"They are very good at playing tricks and making sure they are shown as the innocent ones. I have known this since the beginning. We all know that the two of them babble a lot and we cannot stop them from gossiping. If that is what they wish to do, then so be it... Moore, you don't have to worry about me. There has been a lot of rumours about me throughout my life and I have stopped caring about them at all."

"This is not what I am worried about. We both hate Joy and Shirley a lot but Henry is your father. You cannot feel the same about him. He is still in the coma. Do you want to go to see him? We are currently in the same hospital as your father. You should probably go and see him in person. I assure you that your feelings towards him will change drastically!" Moore persuaded her patiently.

Upon hearing that, Jean's brow furrowed and she immediately dropped her chopsticks. She stared at Moore for a few seconds before asking,"Moore, do you have anything else to say to me? Just say it."

"I heard a nurse talking about Henry. She said that Henry might never come back to his senses again. Seeing this as the golden opportunity, Joy and Shirley have decided to give up his treatment if he doesn't wake up from the coma. I met them today because they came to see you. They wanted to tell you that Henry's treatment would not be done any further and they wanted to ask you for money. I am worried that if you don't give them the money they required, they might put Henry's life in danger..."

"They wouldn't!" As soon as Jean heard that, she could feel anxiety take over. She answered this by getting up from her chair in a hurry.

"There is nothing to be eager about. Please sit down and hear me out first before you do or say something." Moore took this chance to move closer to her and make sure that she remained calm.

Everybody had turned their heads towards them and they were staring with great confusion. As she realized this, Jean took a deep breath and sat down again.

"I know that you hate the Wen Family so much that you don't even like to mention them but you are still worried about him. Jean, if you want to visit him, I can go with you." Moore smiled and comforted her.

"No, you don't have to." Jean shook her head in refusal. She could see his sincerity. Instead, she replied,"You just saw how Joy treated you. You will face more troubles if you go there with me. You don't have to worry. I can go there by myself and handle everything. I will make sure that they won't give up Henry's treatment."

Although Moore knew that she was right and she could take care of herself but he was a little worried. He had always wanted her safety more than anything else. He said,"Well, then you have to be careful and make sure you won't tangle up in their tricks. You have to ignore every word they say, even if the words are hard to digest. I am telling you all of this because I am in your place."

"I have dealt with all of them but as you can see, I am living a better life now. Nothing has affected me. Right?"Seeing the concern in his eyes, for her, a smile crept up on Jean's face. She added,"Let's finish our meal first! Then, I will definitely go and visit him."

Jean and Moore picked up their chopsticks and the rest of their time is spent eating the delicious meal that lay in front of them.

Jean was not affected by anything that just happened. Instead, she stayed calm and ate her meal.

Moore was completely taken aback.

He had known Jean for some time and he was certain that he understood her completely but after everything that happened today, he realized that the girl he knew once was not the girl he saw today.

She had changed a lot since then. Jean had become stronger and he was absolutely sure that she could take care of herself.

Moore didn't eat much. Instead, Jean had almost eaten all of everything on the table.
