Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 352

After squinting against the sunlight, he saw that it was his sweet grandson Zed. Although delighted, Benjamin didn't let it show on his face and scolded Zed,"How come you are here? Why aren't you working in office?"

Just as he finished his sentence, Benjamin looked at Jean from the corner of his eyes to see her reaction.

'Is she afraid that she will be bullied by us? Is that why she has asked Zed to come and help?

But why did she meet us first? Was it to let me change my impression of her?'

Benjamin thought in his heart. 'If she is a scheming person, there is no way I would ever accept her as my granddaughter-in-law.'

Turning towards her, Benjamin tried to read her face with a piercing gaze.

Benjamin's dissatisfaction at Zed's appearance was obvious to Jean. She felt his dislike for her grow and shuddered in her heart. Nevertheless, she put on a brave smile and looked in Zed's direction who closed his car door.

"Grandpa, look at the time!" Feigning hurt by Benjamin's words, Zed walked up to his grandpa and complained. "It's lunch break right now. Do you want your beloved grandson to starve? And don't you miss your precious Zed having not seen him for almost half a day? I thought of you, so I came to pick you up for lunch!"

Zed's affection soon melted Benjamin's heart. He realized he had unnecessarily thought wrongly of Jean.

If Jean was conniving, she wouldn't embarrass herself like this.

His face relaxed and the stern look in his eyes softened after Benjamin was cajoled by his grandson.

Calm and collected, he glanced in Jean's direction and then with a hint of annoyance in his voice, said to Zed,"Who knows for whom you have come, me or or your wife?"

"Of course I am here to pick you up!" Zed replied without any hesitation. "In my heart, you are the most important ..."

"Don't be honey-tongued in front of me! You brat!" Before Zed could finish his words, Benjamin interrupted him with a taunt. Though he still looked cross, there was a smile playing on his lips.

Noticing Benjamin's pleasure, Jean felt relieved. As both the grandson and grandfather engaged in the playful banter, she too couldn't help but smile. Looking at Zed's brown eyes look at her with love, she thanked him from the bottom of her heart silently.

What Zed had said was right!

The elders were quite like children. They needed to be amused and pleased, no matter how imposing they were back in their heyday.

As age approaches a person, what they long for the most is nothing but affection from their family.

Dan and Jesse were surprised to see Zed walk in.

More so Jesse, who wore a weird expression on her face as she gawked at Jean. Both of them couldn't understand why Zed was here.

Jean took no notice of Jesse's confusion. Instead she brushed her hair and refused to see in Jesse's direction. It was almost as if she were not in the room. She lithely joined Zed in supporting grandpa to get in the car.

Jesse was nothing in Jean's thoughts anymore. A serene-looking Jean didn't care about what Jesse thought or wanted.

After she supported Dan to get in the car, a confident Jean strode ahead to directly sit on the passenger seat.

Jesse's jaws tightened at what Jean just did. She gritted her teeth as everyone else sat inside and she was left alone on the curb. She had no choice but to follow Zed's car on her own.

"Grandpa, what do you want to eat?" Zed asked as he drove.

"I've reserved a table at the Safwan Restaurant. Let's go straight there." Pat came Jean's reply to Zed. Smiling at him, she said,"I know the vegetable dishes both the grandpas like and Safwan Restaurant is famous for that in H City. We'll have a delicious lunch there for sure."

Zed too, looked in her direction catching her poise in front of both the grandpas. He was pleasantly surprised. He mumbled in a low whisper,"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful!"

If he had known that Jean could cope with all of this, he wouldn't have rushed over in a hurry.

Knowing the meaning behind Zed's words, Jean held his hand and in a soft voice, said,"I told you not to come."

"But I really want to have lunch with grandpa!" Zed pretended to be earnest saying this. His eyes were big and puppy-like to convince Jean of his innocence.

"If you two have pillow talks, I suggest you find another place, not in front of us elders! You two are shameless!" Dan quipped when he saw Zed and Jean intimately whispering to each other and smiling playfully.
