Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 322

As soon as Jean mentioned divorce, the veins on Zed's forehead seemed to pop out. Instead of answering, he merely glared at her with burning eyes. Jean was taken aback by the sight of his furious face. To this day, she still didn't know why he immediately went into a rage every time she mentioned divorce. It was totally puzzling.

'Does he care so much? Is it about our marriage or me?

If so, why does he treat me that way?' She thought.

Jean shook her head at these thoughts, as it was evident what she was thinking wasn't possible. Sighing due to his intense gaze, she said,"I came back because of your grandfather. I may still be your wife in name and for everyone else. So I want to at least perform my own duties well. But Zed, do you really want to ignore all problems between us just for your self-respect? That is so ridiculous. Won't you divorce me especially after how unhappy you are with me? Do your reputation and self-respect really mean that much to you?"

Jean asked him intensely.

Her words seemed to stir up some feelings inside Zed. The anger in his eyes slowly subsided. As he noticed Jean's bitterness and the pain on her face, he was overwrought with grief and guilt.

'Jean, why can't you understand me? I am unwilling to let go of you, because I love you.

But now, you won't trust me even after I've shown you my heart.

And all those things that happened between us might have been destined, ' Zed thought.

"But in any case, I will not settle for divorce no matter how you think of me," Zed declared in a firm voice. Immediately, he turned his back on Jean again, as if he wanted to change the topic completely.

Wearing a gloomy face, Jean glared at his back. She was so angry that she wanted to slap him hard on the back of his head, just to get him level-headed, if nothing.

'How can there be such a person in the world? Apparently, it has become unnecessary to keep our marriage anymore, but why is he still insisting that he will not divorce?

Does he want to reconcile himself to this failed marriage? Or is there some other reason for his insistence?' Jean thought.

"Why are you unwilling to divorce?" Jean finally dropped this question on Zed after careful thinking. The puzzlement and curiosity were too much for her. Waiting for his reply, she fixed her gaze on the side of his face.

'Why?'

Zed smirked. Gradually, he turned over and replied to her face to face,"What if I say that I am unwilling to divorce you because I love you? Will you trust me?"

'I trust you, ' Jean mumbled to herself.

Staring at him, she nearly uttered these words loudly. In the beginning, she had been very excited and glad to hear what he had said. But when she noticed the sardonic smile on his face, the joy in her heart suddenly disappeared.

'It seems like I have been amorous, ' Jean murmured upon seeing him sneer.

"You and Jesse..." Jean stammered as she found so hard to continue. She looked down before she added in a very low voice,"If the two of you really love each other, divorce will be our only choice, or else you won't be able to give her a birthright..."

"You are so kind to remind me of that. Thank you," Zed replied in a furious tone as if a heavy storm were coming. He glared at her with his gloomy eyes and continued,"Oh, I almost forgot! I've heard that you went beyond your bounds these days even in the hospital. There were always some men going to the hospital to visit you, giving you warm greetings and care. Jean, now you are so anxious to divorce me. Are you so eager to hook up with other men?

Let me remind and warn you. You will be my wife as long as I don't agree for the divorce. You better keep your nose clean. So far, what you have suffered is only a piece of cake. If you dare cross a line in our marriage, you will suffer far worse than what you could possibly imagine!"

As soon as she heard his threats, Jean's eyes were suddenly wide open. She furiously glared at him and said,"Thank you for your concern. I will not sleep on the same bed with any other man no matter how undutiful I am. You have no right to judge or blame me. Since you admit that I am still your wife, then you have to save your own ass. So for your own sake, don't be caught by me again in bed with some other women!"

"You......" Zed was infuriated by her words. He abruptly grabbed her arm, flying into a rage and retorting,"Don't you understand? I told you again and again that things didn't happen as you saw that day. Both Jesse and I got drunk..."

Zed consciously fell silent and closed his mouth right away when he realized that he was trying to explain.
