Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 379

'So, he knows clearly what Jesse has done.

Then why didn't he stop Jesse?

Instead, he is listening to her.'

Realizing that Benjamin did not like her, Jean felt uneasy. "What did grandpa say to you?" Jean asked, looking at Zed straight into his eyes.

"Grandpa asked me to explain everything carefully to you. And he told me to maintain a distance in my relationship with Jesse since I am your husband." Being straightforward, Zed saw no need of hiding anything from Jean. "When Benjamin spoke those words, I reflected upon it. I realize it was my mistake and I should take full responsibility for making you misunderstand our relationship. I will be careful in the future."

Knowing what Benjamin has said, Jean felt even more puzzled.

'According to Zed, grandpa is taking my side.

Why?

Doesn't he dislike me?

Why is he helping me by telling Zed the right thing to do?

Is it because Zed told grandpa that he loves me? Did he also tell grandpa that he considers Jesse as his little sister?

I really need to understand what is going on!'

Thinking of this, Jean suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Calmly, she looked at Zed, feeling hard to form the words.

"Zed, I want to ask you a question. I hope you won't be angry," Jean said, in a patient tone.

Seeing Jean's serious face, he could not help nodding. "Okay, go ahead and ask."

"You just said that grandpa has misunderstood the relationship between Jesse and you. And you have realized that it was due to your behavior and words. Since even grandpa has been misled, don't you think Jesse…"

"Jesse won't be misled," Zed said, interrupting Jean from speaking. Feeling guilty, Zed confidently smiled at her making her realize he didn't intend to be rude. "Definitely, Jesse won't misunderstand the relationship between us. She knows clearly that she is my little sister while I am her brother," Zed continued, in the same calm tone.

"Why are you sure about this? After growing up, you both didn't hang out much. So why are you so confident that she still knows you well?" Jean asked, looking puzzled at his confidence.

"I don't know how to explain this kind of thing to you." Zed shook his head with a bitter smile. "But I can assure you that Jesse will not misunderstand our relationship."

Hearing that, Jean had no choice but to stop. 'He won't listen to me, ' Jean thought.

"Well! It seems that the relationship between the two of you is really deep. There has been no change in the past 20 years," Jean said with a sigh.

"Well, since you have already understood the relationship between Jesse and me, you should not be worried about this problem in the future. Otherwise, it will be hard for us to stay happy," Zed warned, and he meant each and every word he just said.

"Okay." Jean nodded at Zed and tried to smile. Deep down, she wasn't satisfied with his replies.

'After loving you so much, it would be really stupid to distrust you, ' Jean said in her mind.

In fact, Jean was clear that Zed was worthy of her trust.

But every time she saw that he stood at Jesse's side in front of her, Jean felt unhappy and could not help quarreling with Zed.

After every quarrel, Jean felt upset. Moreover, she didn't trust Jesse and her intentions.

"It's time to sleep! It's too late now…" Jean murmured, while she hugged Zed and buried her head in his chest.

Feeling her caring touch, Zed also reached out to hug Jean. Seeing that Jean quickly fell asleep, Zed gazed at the ceiling for a long time until sleep found him.

The next day, Zed had already left the room when Jean woke up.

Being drowsy, Jean rubbed her eyes and went into the washroom. After the morning wash, she changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Benjamin was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading newspaper while Jesse and Dan were absent from the place. Jean felt a little strange about it because she almost always saw Dan and Jesse accompany him.

"Good morning, grandpa." Jean smiled and greeted Benjamin.
