Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 381

Zed smiled, patted her hand to comfort her and slowly walked outside.

In the dining room, there was only Benjamin and Jean now. In silence, both of them ate together.

"Grandpa, let me help you pick out the fish bones," Jean said, breaking the silence. In truth, the silence made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Benjamin, finding her question stupid, looked at her angrily. "Do you have time to pick out the fish bones here? Just go with him!"

"Grandpa, there's no need," Jean said in a casual tone while picking out the fish bones carefully. "If I don't have faith in him then it means I don't deserve to be his wife. Furthermore, Jesse has been in his life for ages, so this is not something new. Hence even if she cries, it won't change anything."

"But you are very concerned about their relationship," Benjamin said and fell into silence.

"No grandpa, I am not. I was, but not anymore. I am trying my best to overcome it. In fact, I am getting used to it." Jean slightly shook her head.

"You mean Jesse often does that?" Benjamin furrowed upon hearing.

"I mean it is the first time that she has cried. But she often puts a different mask in front of me," Jean replied, not looking scared.

"How can you tolerate it?" Benjamin asked incredulously.

"I have to because I have no other choice. Grandpa, you know how Zed treats her. Every time I try to question her character, Zed gets angry with me. If it weren't for your help yesterday, I wouldn't have managed to make things better." Jean handed the de-boned fish to Benjamin. On close inspection, Benjamin noticed her face darken.

"You have suffered, my dear." Benjamin said while he took the dish and passed her an encouraging smile. "Since it is her first time she is crying, you should take care of her as a hostess. Go ahead! I do not need your service here. What I am saying is that you should be with Zed wherever he goes."

Jean instantly understood Benjamin's words, especially when she saw Dan come back without Zed and Jesse. She nodded at Benjamin and walked outside.

Knowing that Zed and Jesse were alone made her feel queasy. 'Stop panicking, Jean. You trust Zed then what is the problem?'

But knowing that Zed and Jesse were alone made her heart beat faster. She started to get anxious in her mind for no reason.

Everybody knew that Jesse had her mind on Zed, except Zed himself.

Jean didn't know whether Benjamin had told Jesse that she would leave the H City along with him in several days.

Whatever she thought, there was not much time left for her.

Judging from Jesse's character, she wouldn't be willing to leave so easily.

'That means she is going to take an action soon, ' realized Jean.

At the thought of it, Jean's heart sank. She hurriedly increased her speed and went outside.

After she arrived at the back garden, she looked for them everywhere.

'Not in the avenue, not beside the swimming pool, not in the pavilion…' she thought every time she covered an area.

Now she was extremely scared and her legs started to feel weak. 'How can two people disappear so fast?'

Jean felt stupid now for not asking Grandpa Dan where Zed and Jesse were.

The garden was huge, but it wouldn't take such a long time to find two people.

Anxiety got her and she was almost going to give up. And that was when she saw two figures in a remote corner standing close.

Jean was relieved, but her palms were full of perspiration.

Slowly, she walked towards them not having the energy to walk faster.

She fixed her eyes ahead and noticed that Zed was speaking with an intent look in his eyes. On the other hand, Jesse's face couldn't be seen since she was looking down.
