Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 397

After hearing Jean's words, Zed suddenly became anxious. Sweat started to trickle down his temples despite the icy cold sting that run down his spine. "No, it's not like what you think it is," he said.

Jean narrowed her eyes at him. "Then, tell me, what is it like?" She asked mockingly. "Did you really think that you can persuade me with that excuse? That you both have just been friends ever since childhood? Zed, you have to know that I don't buy it now." She shook her head in complete disbelief.

"Jean." Zed muttered in despair, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. You brought this to us, and I told you, we both needed this break to think and to cool down. I hope you won't show your face in front of me in the next two days, Zed."

Satisfied, Jean looked at him with a straight face and turned to leave.

Panic started to course through Zed, tightening his grip around Jean's hand, making Jean look at her hand and into Zed with a frown.

"You're still mad at me, and I can't let you leave feeling that way," Zed said with a grave expression.

'I'm sorry, Jean, but if I let you leave now, then I won't have any opportunity to make it up for you, ' he thought as he stared at Jean's grim face.

They were together for enough time for Zed to get to know her very well. He knew that she was the type of person who didn't get angry easily, but now that she was angry at him, it would be difficult for him to sway her and change her mind right away. It would take time, but he was willing to risk.

Jean frowned in frustration as she felt Zed's unwillingness to let go of her hand. She looked at her hand and back at him. "Zed, are you a man or not? Let go of my hand!"

"No. You are my wife, and we still have misunderstanding to talk about, so I can't let you leave," Zed said with determination in his eyes. As Jean struggled, he held on to her more.

Instead of getting more furious, Jean started to chuckle and stop forcing her hand out of Zed's grasp. "Oh, Zed, cut it off. It's not working anymore. Nothing will make me ever listen to you. Regardless of whether or not you want to let me go, I will still go."

Zed's eyes widened in shock at how decided Jean sounded. He saw determination in her eyes that couldn't seem to outmatch. Panic rose through him again. "Jean, why are you so heartless? Jesse is already gone out of our lives, so why won't you still forgive me?"

Jean sighed at him helplessly. "I don't think you understand what I said. Jesse may be gone and won't be back anymore, but the problem here is us."

"Then, tell me. Tell me what problem do we still have, and let's talk about it and resolve it," Zed said in haste, feeling a tiny bit of hope coursing through him.

However, the hope that sparked in him flamed out as he saw Jean's expression. "Zed, we both know that we have different personalities that most of the time, we oppose each other just because of our contrasting views. You see, we have so many problems that we can't solve them all. So, please, even just for me. Give us both a break to cool down and think about our relationship, whether it is still right for us to continue living toge..."

"Don't you ever dream about it!" Jean eyes widened in shock as Zed warned her without even letting Jean finish her sentence. His eyes turned cold. "I don't care what you think, but let me tell you this. If you want to break up with me and be with Moore, then you'd better stop wishing for that to happen, because it won't. The sooner, the better, Jean!"

Jean's face changed immediately as she stared at Zed with mouth agape.

This was the worst problem that they ever had to encounter, since it finally led to the possibility of a divorce.

This time, it was a problem between the both of them alone, but Zed always ended up pointing fingers at others as if neither of them ever contributed to their own conflict.

Now that she thought about it, every time she mentioned divorce, Zed acted this way.

'How could he be so sure that the reason she wanted to leave was because of another man?' She thought, feeling the sense of distrust coming from Zed.

Shaking her head slowly, she turned to look at Zed with sorrow filling her eyes. "Zed, I have completely given up hope on you. Whatever you think the reason behind this is, I will still not go back to you anymore."

After Jean had said those words, Zed started to feel furious. "What did you say?" He glared at her in frustration,"Say it again."

Jean noticed the anger building up inside Zed, but she ignored this and repeated what she had just said. "I will still not go back to you anymore. I don't think we were ever destined to be with each other, so I am divorcing you." Even though she felt a tinge of fear, she kept her gaze on Zed's eyes as she said those words one by one.

"You!" Zed's eyes widened in a mix of shock and anger that a flame almost shot out from them. With a ferocious growl, he said,"Don't be so ungrateful, Jean!"

"I have always been ungrateful for you, haven't I?" This time, Jean showed not even a tinge of fear. She stared directly with bloodshot eyes.
