Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 365

The sun shone on Jean's face, waking her up with a frown. She turned to her right side and as usual, she found that Zed had already gotten up early and left for work. She sat up a few moments later and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

Still feeling sleepy and a little lost, she slowly got out of bed, scratching her long and loose hair. She faced the huge glass window and stretched. Satisfied, she walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

The warm water relaxed her body. Since she had decided to go back to Wen Group, she knew she had to strike while the iron was still hot.

Besides, Grandpa Benjamin was still here in H City. She could imagine how he would violently react if she just hung around him, doing nothing but idle about in the room.

He was already tired of seeing her even just for a few minutes, how much more for days? She also felt uncomfortable around him, so going back to work gave her something else to get her busy.

Moreover, Grandpa Dan and Jesse were now around him.

Grandpa Benjamin wouldn't get bored even if Jean was not beside him.

As she finished washing herself, she wiped herself dry and walked out of the bathroom wearing a robe. She changed into a fresh and neat suit that made her look all the more professional. She lightly made her face up, and when she was finally contented of how she looked, she grabbed her bag and walked outside of the room.

When she arrived in the dining room, she saw Jesse shuffling between Grandpa Benjamin and Grandpa Dan. With a huge smile plastered on her face, she placed plates and containers filled with various kinds of food for breakfast in front of them on the table and served them gallantly.

Jesse's caring act made Jean a little disappointed about herself. She wanted to do something like that as well. Instead of showing her true emotions about the matter, she forced a smile at Jesse and to both Grandpa Benjamin and Grandpa Dan.

Although Jean couldn't help feeling that Jesse had ulterior motives, she wasn't the kind of person to have kindness without strings attached.

Then again, only Jean could see through Jesse's intentions. Even Zed couldn't imagine that someone like Jesse could turn out to be that kind of a person, let alone others.

As Jean approached the dining table, the harmonious atmosphere surrounding the room started to fade away. Silence filled the room instead.

Benjamin frowned. He remembered how Jean just suddenly left yesterday afternoon and returned home really late despite him being home already. He complained about her more now that she woke up later than anybody else in the house as if she could just go about her own set of manners.

With these thoughts in mind, he ignored her and sneered, lowering his head to give his full attention to the food in front of him. He didn't even acknowledge her presence.

On the other hand, Grandpa Dan was more polite than Grandpa Benjamin. He gave Jean a generous smile, greeting her,"Good morning, Jean. Come, join us for breakfast."

"Good morning, Grandpa Dan! and yes, it is my pleasure," she replied. "Good morning, Grandpa Benjamin and Jesse," she added as she sat down across Grandpa Benjamin, who still pretended as if she wasn't there.

Jesse just nodded at her and gave her a reluctant smile even though she was annoyed by how Jean acted like nothing had happened. She remembered the broad smile on Zed's face before leaving home this morning.

Even though she could tell how angry Jean was last night, Jesse started to feel like she imagined it because Jean's expression this morning was the complete opposite. She couldn't believe that a night was enough for the two of them to act as if nothing had happened.

'What did this cunning Jean do to Zed that they were already okay?' Jesse wondered.

'Or has Zed already fallen deeply in love with her that he couldn't resist keeping mad at Jean?' Jesse's smile dropped at these thoughts.

Ignoring the look on Jesse's face, Jean didn't want to stress herself early in the morning and grabbed a toast on the platter. She took a bite and pushed it down with some fresh milk, enjoying her breakfast.

She didn't even give Jesse a second glance.

When she was almost finished with her breakfast, Jean finally lifted her head and turned to face Grandpa Benjamin, and in a polite manner, she said,"Grandpa, I would like to inform you that from today onwards, I will be going to work. Besides, Grandpa Dan and Jesse…"

she paused for a moment and gave Jesse a sardonic look before continuing,"are around to look after you. Zed and I will feel assured..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Benjamin interrupted her with a scowl. "Oh, of course you are!" He glared at her, and in a huff, he grumbled,"You don't have any capabilities at all, so why did you decide to work like a man? Isn't Zed working enough for the both of you, or are you so high-maintenance? Or, are you not willing to look after your husband as soon as he gets home? So…"

"Grandpa, what are you blabbering about?" Jean interrupted. She didn't show how she was affected by Grandpa Benjamin's words, and how he kept blaming her, judging her by his own premature reasons. Instead, she gave him a smile and said,"I didn't make up my mind without consulting this to Zed, and he agreed. Besides, I work in the company Zed had invested in."

Knowing Grandpa Benjamin's attitude, Jean mentioned Zed as if he was a shield and the magic word to make Grandpa Benjamin compromise.

As Jean expected, his face softened at the mention of his grandson's name, and the thought of Jean working for a company invested by Zed made him slightly change his mind. Sighing and still with a long face, he muttered,"Well then, you should take your leave now. Make sure you don't go home late again, or you'll trouble Zed again to pick you up, since you don't know how to drive. You should probably learn how."
