Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 321

Jean kept her eyes closed. Her body was shivering and her eyebrows were raised. When Zed discerned her fear, a ridiculous smile appeared on his face which bore a sad expression.

He hadn't expected that Jean would be so scared of his touch.

"There is a goose feather stuck in your hair," Zed told her flatly as he took the goose feather off.

As soon as she felt his touch in her hair, Jean opened her eyes. She had thought that Zed was teasing him, but when she saw that he was actually holding a goose feather, her entire face flushed over at once.

Staring at her reddened cheeks, Zed wondered how lovely and charming the woman in front of him was! He was tempted with great sexual desires.

Instead of hugging or touching her again, he hesitated.

He thought that he couldn't scare her again, and more importantly, he thought he couldn't scare her away.

And to that end, he had made every effort to suppress his sexual desires and tried hard to withstand the temptation.

Embarrassed, Jean stared at Zed with an uneasy expression. He returned her gaze but none of them said a word or did anything. They didn't know what to say or speak. Despite her shyness and embarrassment, Jean finally broke the silence and said,"It is very hot today..."

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, she felt even more embarrassed. All of a sudden, her cheeks turned even more reddish.

"Yes! It is really hot. I am going to take a bath." Zed strode towards the bathroom immediately as he finished these words.

Jean looked at his back in bewilderment. 'What's wrong with him?

Hasn't he just finished his bath?'

Jean was lost in thought but a long while later, she suddenly understood why he had gone and a shyness took her all over again. She intuitively pulled the quilt up a little by the corner and covered herself timidly. She dared not move at all, but just lie still.

About half an hour later, Jean felt the bed sink down deep beside her. Zed had come and lain down after his second bath. Her heart was beating faster and faster. To prevent him from hearing her quick and short breaths, she shut her mouth, and lay there on pins and needles.

The two of them had slept together on the same bed for over half a year, but it was the first time that Jean had been so nervous lying beside this man.

She felt every inch of her skin had been tightened, and the muscle on her face had become rigid.

Zed seemed to have felt her unease. He let out a deep sigh of relief and turned over to face her. Then, he said,"We need to talk."

Hearing his words, Jean opened her eyes and stared at him nervously before asking,"What... about what?"

At that moment, the handsome and charming face that lay before her eyes almost shredded her mind apart.

"Grandpa is coming here soon. It is inadvisable for you to act like this." Jean unknowingly reminded him.

With his gaze fixed on Jean, Zed sighed and asked,"Are you scared of me?"

As soon as Jean heard his question, she suddenly felt composed and replied back anxiously,"I am not scared of you."

"That's great," Zed said affectionately. "You don't have to force anything. You just need to be who you are. Don't be scared of me, let alone my grandpa."

"I told you. I am not scared of you..." Jean repeated.

Zed neither approved nor disapproved of her confidence. His eyes still fixed on Jean and he didn't interrupt her. He didn't reply until Jean paused by herself. "It doesn't matter whether you're scared of me or not. But we shouldn't keep on arguing like this. It's already very late. Let's go to sleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zed turned his back towards Jean so that he wouldn't be tempted by that lovely face again, or else he would have had to take another cold shower to suppress his sexual desire.

But Jean couldn't understand why Zed had turned his back. At the sight of that, a bitter sadness overtook her. She recalled that he would always wrap her in his arms peremptorily no matter how reluctant she was. As this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt even more upset.
