Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 331

"You're right, Grandpa Benjamin. I shouldn't say that," Jesse said but deep inside she felt disappointed.

'Grandpa said Benjamin would support me to be his granddaughter-in-law. But it seems that he is wrong.

Benjamin loves Zed so much. There is no doubt that he will support his grandson to get what he likes. I am in big trouble, ' Jesse thought secretly.

"Don't be upset, Jesse. It is such a pity that I can't have you as my granddaughter-in-law. I like you so much. If you had known about your feelings a little sooner, you wouldn't have gotten yourself in such a bad position." Benjamin sighed and continued,"At the beginning, I really hoped you and Zed could be together. But now..."

Benjamin stopped himself from continuing. He took a deep breath and composed himself while he gazed at Zed's back with an endearing look.

"Grandpa Benjamin, don't be upset. I know you treat me as your granddaughter, and I will always consider you to be my family. I'm happy to have you accompany me, Grandpa Benjamin. Please don't be hurt by my words." Looking at Benjamin, it was evident that he was sad. "I have to face my destiny. My only hope is that brother Zed will live happily ever after. As for me, I will be content as long as he is happy."

"Silly girl! Don't be that stupid!" Benjamin was now touched by Jesse's words and looked at her with pride. "You know I still think you are a good fit for Zed. But due to the circumstance, nothing can happen now. So you need to move on Jesse. Why bother? Hopefully you will meet your Mr. Right soon."

"Grandpa Benjamin, It's not that easy! It's hard to say goodbye so easily when you love someone so deeply. And please don't worry about me, Grandpa Benjamin. I know what I'm doing." Jesse looked at Benjamin and spoke out the words in a tone of resolution.

Hearing all of this, Benjamin was both moved and saddened. He clearly noticed the love Jesse had for Zed in her eyes. Regret washed over him.

Being so smart, Jesse detected a sudden change of expression on Grandpa Benjamin's face. She tactfully put on an expression of sadness.

'That's what I want. My efforts won't go in vain anymore!' a victorious voice screamed in Jesse's mind.

Now she was under the impression that Grandpa Benjamin would persuade Zed to marry her, sooner or later.

On the other side, Jean was busy with preparation. With Zelda's help, she made two hot dishes and a green salad.

After hours of work, dinner was ready. Finally, Jean untied the cooking apron and walked out of the kitchen.

The first sight she noticed was Jesse and Benjamin walking together. They seemed to be chattering happily not noticing anyone near them. Something felt wrong and she had a strong feeling this had something to do with Jesse's plan.

'Where is Zed and Grandpa Dan?

Why does Jesse want to chat with Grandpa Benjamin alone?

It seems like they are having a happy conversation.

Will Jesse use this opportunity to badmouth me?'

The last thing she wanted was to make a bad impression. Later, she thought it was no good guessing and realized maybe she was overthinking.

'Jesse is a daughter of the Tang family. She has to keep up with her good girl image. Badmouthing is definitely not what she will want to do before Benjamin, '

thought Jean. And now she felt a bit relieved. Sighing lightly, she composed herself and walked toward them. Before speaking, she put on a big smile and said,"Grandpa, the dinner is ready!"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows as he heard Jean call him. On seeing her, he frowned because he really disliked Jean.

Jean felt embarrassed under his scrutiny. Quickly, she smoothened her dress feeling self-conscious.

A second later, Jean realized it was not a good manner to do it before people so she dropped her hands and let it free.

'I think I am making a bad impression here, ' worried Jean.

"Grandpa, let me hold you," Jean said while she approached Benjamin. Her face wore a shining smile that made her look overexcited.

"Let Jesse help me. You can go to the yard to ask Zed and Dan to come inside," Benjamin ordered while he flashed her a look of distaste.
