Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 41

"Take marriage seriously? Aren't you the one who doesn't take marriage seriously? You married me for commercial benefit. Despite our agreement, you keep refusing to divorce me. How is any of this my fault?"

Jean's stomach turned with the rage she was feeling. She had never wanted this marriage. It had all been arranged by her father. Now, when she asked when they were going to get divorced, Zed was accusing her of being flippant.

"No matter what the conditions of our marriage, the fact still remains that we are married. We've even consummated our marriage! That makes us a real couple. Could you please stop bringing up the divorce?" He was clearly warning her with the cold expression in his eyes.

"But... But..."

She hemmed and hawed as she thought of an argument to counter Zed's remark. However, Jean failed to put her thoughts into words.

"I hope you'll comply with your duty as a wife and stay away from Ethan Lei in the future." Zed's slender eyes narrowed as he made his position clear. Despite the fact that he was clarifying his expectations to Jean, just the mention of Ethan Lei brought up his anger.

"I, I... Wait. Do you mean that you are not going to divorce me?" After hearing what he said, Jean finally understood how Zed felt about the issue.

Zed didn't reply. Instead, he raised an eyebrow as though daring Jean to think otherwise. It was about time! He had been so insistent on not getting the divorce that she should have figured it out much sooner.

Jean was getting a little anxious. She held onto his arm and shook it, "Didn't we make an agreement that we will get divorced after the cooperation ends?"

"Yes, we did. But you broke the rules, didn't you?" Not wanting to go into the intimate details, Zed raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jean frowned as she thought of their discussions. She suddenly remembered that she slept with him initiatively for the land. Then she remembered all the other things she had done after that.

The more she thought about it, the more red her cheeks became.

"So, what's it gonna take to get you to divorce me?" She asked him in a guilty whisper as she lowered her gaze to the floor.

"When I'm satisfied with your service, I will consider it." There was a slight smile playing on Zed's lips. 'It's so easy to get what I want. Instead of negotiating or demanding, she just agrees. Such a silly girl.'

She raised her burning cheeks, "Then you can at least tell me what you mean when you said, satisfied with your service."

Since her Residence Booklet was with Zed and that land hadn't been processed either, Jean decided it was best if they set new terms and conditions that would secure her the divorce.

"Just do your duty as a wife."

"It's easy for you to say that. I don't have any experience. How do I know what will satisfy you?"

He threw his hands up in the air, and then pointed to the door with an indifferent attitude, "Then leave."

"Come on. Let's try to get along. We are so familiar already. Don't drive me away every time, okay? How about I massage your shoulders? You must have been very uncomfortable on the couch last night. Let me give you a massage."

She caved immediately. When she was about to stand up, Zed glanced at her injured foot, "Given your situation, you don't have to do anything right now. We'll think about other things later. We have a lot of time in the future."

Situation? Was Zed talking about her menstruation or her injured foot...

At the Wen house, Shirley pushed the door to Winner's room open. She was upset when she saw that he was playing video games. So she stepped forward and pressed the shutdown button, "Can you be more productive? Winner!"
