Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 404

"So what? She left because in her heart, she never wanted to be with Zack. She is ill-tempered and stubborn." Zed shook his head as he made his point.

Hearing Zed's disapproving words for Magnolia, Jean fell silent.

Now, she had more or less understood why Zed had been acting abnormally and weirdly today.

'Yes, once you miss the chance to convince the person you love to stay with you, life will never give you a second chance.

No matter what Zack and Magnolia went through, or how long Zack waited for her, the chance to stay together only comes once. If you miss it, it will be missed forever. Then, there will be no chance to make up for your mistake.

This is why Zed has changed his state of mind. No matter how angry he is with me, he is trying hard to seek forgiveness.

Clearly, he doesn't want to lose me just because of the misunderstanding between us.'

Mulling over these thoughts, Jean was overcome with affection for Zed.

Underneath Zed's tough exterior was a soft and tender heart. Jean realized that he greatly cared about her. As he found out that Jean was looking at him lovingly, Zed sported a pleasing smile in a flash and asked,"What do you want to eat? I will cook for you."

"You cook?" Jean was surprised. She just couldn't believe it was possible for Zed to cook.

"I feel it would be a great honor to cook for my wife. Of course, I can only cook something simple, may be spaghetti and toasted bread,"

Zed replied embarrassed.

There were times when Zed had cooked, though being born with a silver spoon had never let such a situation come up except when he was on foreign land.

"Then, just cook spaghetti!" While she was saying these words, Jean's eyes suddenly gleaned and she stared at Zed full of expectations.

"Okay. Sit there and relax. It'll just take a couple of minutes." Zed kissed Jean's forehead and looked deep into her eyes. Then, without further delay, he walked towards the kitchen.

Instead of just sitting there, Jean closely followed him and asked,"Why don't you ask Zelda to cook?"

"I have asked her to take a holiday before I came back. So now it is only the two of us at home." Zed put on the apron. He opened the fridge and searched for the ingredients as he chatted with Jean.

"Why?" asked Jean flummoxed by such a decision.

"I was not sure about you forgiving me. I knew you were very cross with me." Zed took cheese and bread out of the fridge and put them on the counter. Then, he briefly looked at her.

Jean, on the other hand, was beaming with pride and self-importance. Finally, she said,"How rare this is! I never thought that you could also do something without absolute certainty."

"Now, I am going to do another thing without any self-confidence. Therefore, can you please go out first? My cooking skills are poor and I am afraid of being nervous in front of you. I won't be able to apply any skills if you stand beside me..."

Zed pleaded earnestly.

"Apply your skills?" Staring at Zed, Jean burst into laughter. Seeing how serious he was when he said this, she realized that Zed was not joking. To no longer wait and fulfill her desire of eating something cooked by Zed, Jean shrugged her shoulders and said,"Okay, okay. I am going to wait outside."

Zed gently shoved Jean out to the dining room, handing her a carton of milk from the fridge. "You drink it until the food gets ready. Anyway, I'll be out in a jiffy."

Zed smiled broadly and walked back to the kitchen.

Jean shook her head sideways, amazed by what Zed would surprise her next. She started to drink milk and walked towards the garden.

The fact that she and Zed were still together after all the rough patches their relationship was hit was commendable. It was not only because of the compromises they made, but also because after all, true love was the foundation of their marriage.

Frictions were unavoidable between lovers. Misunderstanding and rash acts were more common.

Jean didn't know what kind of situation other couple got in. She wondered if other couples also dealt with each other like her and Zed.
