Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 364

"Jean..." Zed felt speechless. He really couldn't understand why Jean was being so adamant.

Slowly, Jean turned around to look at Zed. A while later, she asked carefully,"Why are you so dumb, Zed? Don't you see that Jesse's feeling for you is not that simple? You treat her like your family, but she doesn't. Jesse is in love with you."

'You trust her and treat her as your intimate friend. It is my duty to make you understand what she feels for you, ' Jean thought secretly.

"That's not possible, Jean. Jesse and I are just friends. She thinks me as one of her big brothers," Zed frowned and explained to Jean. He continued,"We grew up together. We both experienced a lot of moments together. She watched me through my hard days. It's hard for you to understand, Jean. But we are not in love. Jesse is my family, my close friends and that's it.

Anyway, I surely know that I don't love her, and I am positive she doesn't love me either. We will be there to support each other when we are in trouble. That's the sort of relationship we share. It is definitely not the love that you are thinking about. I really hope you will stop misunderstanding us, Jean."

Zed looked at her face with a serious look. This explanation tired him and he didn't wish to explain again and again.

As Jean noticed his sincere look, she knew he really meant it. Although she had doubted the relations between them, she would not do that ever after.

At this very moment, Jean believed him. She believed that Zed didn't love Jesse at all. Somehow, knowing this relieved her from her worries.

'I have to trust Zed. He wouldn't lie to me. Maybe he cares for her like a friend and brother, nothing more.

Yet I am not sure if Jesse would agree with this.'

Deep inside, Jean sighed with a look of resignation. Every time they fought because of Jesse, she later felt sad about it. She kept thinking, 'Surely, Zed doesn't love her. However, Jesse is definitely in love with Zed.

I was suspicious about Zed only because he always trusted her. But that doesn't mean there is a romantic love behind his trust.

I shouldn't have hurt him so much. He keeps on telling me that they are just friends, but I act so impulsively.

What really bothers me is Jesse.

She is so deeply in love with Zed that she dislikes me to an extent that she wants to kill me. Jesse provokes me to behave improperly.

Every time she tries to hint me that there is something between her and Zed. Watching this, I lose my confidence in Zed. Then we have ugly fights.

Jean, stop fighting with your husband! This is exactly what Jesse wants.

She is happy to see Zed and me fight. If we don't trust each other, she will definitely be the happiest. I shouldn't give her such a satisfaction.

Unfortunately, Jesse realized it is not easy for her to get Zed. So she tried to irritate me by nearly choking me to death.

She is so desperate to spoil our love by creating all sorts of trouble for us.'

"What are you thinking about?" Zed asked when he noticed that Jean was lost in thoughts.

Now Jean snapped from her thoughts and glanced at Zed intendedly. Slowly, she replied,"Nothing! I will remember what you have said tonight, Zed. I really don't want to fight with you because of Jesse, but I can't control myself."

"I know." Zed felt relieved and nodded his consent and said,"I don't, either. But sometimes you shock me with your anger. In such a situation, I really don't know how to react."

"What do you mean by 'shock me with your anger'?" Jean retorted. "You trusted what Jesse said instead of my words. That's why I'm angry! You had it coming, Zed. I don't understand how that was a shock for you."

"Are you jealous of Jesse, Jean?" A shining smile took over his face. "Jesse is only my friend. You are overly jealous, Jean!"

"I'm not!" She flushed crimson. A second later, she retorted,"You are the one who is extremely suspicious! Every time, you meet me and some guy walking together, you end up losing your temper."
