Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 415

A weak smile crept on Moore's face as he heard the hesitation in Jean's voice. He knew something was up, and it only gave Jean a dilemma, so he said,"That is, if tonight's inconvenient for you, we can have an appointment next time you're available. I really just called to tell you that I have been discharged."

Jean's eyes widened in surprise. "What? You're discharged from the hospital?" Jean felt excitement build inside her after hearing the news. In a high-pitched and giddy voice, she inquired again,"Are you sure that you are all right now to leave the hospital? Don't you need to take a reexamination?"

"Well, I've taken the examination already, and the results show that I am recovering very well. The doctor then released me and told me that I only need to take more rest at home, so I can be completely healed." Moore then let out a sigh of relief as he told Jean about this.

Jean smiled brightly. "That's wonderful! It's great to hear such good news!" Jean exclaimed with a huge smile plastered on her face. She felt thrilled to hear this, and indeed she felt like this is the best news she had heard recently ever since the kidnap. With excitement evident on her tone, she said,"Well, you see, the reason why I was hesitant in the first place was because I promised Zed that I will cook dinner for him tonight. But after hearing such exciting news from you, I'm definite that he can wait, and yours calls for a celebration. What do you think about making a dinner reservation? Let's say, how about Shangri-La Restaurant?"

Moore's eyebrows furrowed in thought. "Wait! Did I hear it clearly that you were supposed to cook dinner by yourself tonight?" In his voice, Moore obviously took no interest in having dinner in a restaurant but showed great interest when he heard that Jean was about to cook personally.

"Well, yes," Jean replied with a nod even though Moore couldn't see that gesture. "However, I am not a good cook, and I can only cook several dishes, so whatever you're planning, I don't think I dare to invite you to my home."

"Oh no, Jean! That's totally fine for me." Moore hastily interrupted Jean and showed his full interest in eating the food cooked by Jean. "Since my food had been served by the hospital staff, I am craving for home cooked dishes. Especially that you will cook tonight, I will love every dish you cook. I swear!"

Jean couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Moore was capable of saying such sweet words as Zed.

Since Moore assured Jean that he was completely okay with her dishes, Jean could only nod her head in agreement. She asked,"Okay, fine, just don't blame me if it ever tastes weird. Anyways, tell me what dishes you like so that I will prepare it."

"Nothing in particular. Just cook what you are good at, but don't make it too complicated. Any dish you cook will be fine for me." Moore smiled as Jean finally assented and then continued,"Well then, I will take my belongings back home first before I head to your home."

"Wait, are you still at the hospital right now?" Jean asked.

"Yes, I just finished the discharge procedures. These forms are too tedious," Moore replied with a frown on his face.

"Oh, really? Okay, listen, just stay there, and I will send someone to pick you up. He can send you home first, so you can drop your belongings and then he will drive you to my home." Jean smiled at herself. She felt like a really good planner.

Moore's eyes widened. He didn't want to trouble her too much so he hastily turned down her kind offer. "Oh no! That would be too hassle for you. Really, I can just take a taxi."

"No worries, silly! It's no trouble at all. I just have someone next to me," Jean assured with a smile on her face.

Moore thought about this for a moment after hearing Jean's reply. With a sigh, he finally compromised. "If you put it that way, then okay. I will be waiting for him at the gate of hospital."

"Great! I will ask him to pick you up real soon." After they bid each other goodbye, Jean hung up the phone. She turned to Toby, who was concentrated on driving and called his name.

"Yes, Mrs. Jean?" Toby responded in haste after hearing his name. He didn't bother remove his attention on the road. Besides, he was trained to be alert at all times.

"Call either Gregory or Terry. Ask one of them to pick Moore up at the hospital. Tell whoever is available to send him home first and then drive him to my home," Jean ordered Toby. She leaned back on her seat and crossed her arms on her chest.

"But..." Finally, Toby gave a quick glance at Jean through the rear view mirror. Jean looked at him back with a questioning look as if asking him why he dared to oppose her. Because of embarrassment, it took him some time before he spoke,"Well, Mrs. Jean, Gregory and Terry are here to protect you, and not..."

"I know, but you are here to protect me, and I am confident that you can protect me well, aren't you? Besides, you just need to drive me to the vegetable market and nothing wrong would happen. Trust me as I trust you." With a smile, Jean said with conviction on her tone, trying to persuade him.

The embarrassment on Toby's face lingered for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he compromised. He gave another quick glance at Jean and nodded with reluctance. Jean just smiled at him back. He then took out his phone and called Gregory to pass on Jean's order.

After talking to Gregory, he placed his phone down and reported to Jean,"Mrs. Jean, Gregory has set out to pick Mr. Moore up in the hospital as you ordered."

"Great! Thank you, Toby. Now, please, pull up?to the?curb of the nearby vegetable market, and I will go buy some vegetables." Jean pointed and gave him a faint smile.

Confused, Toby's eyebrows furrowed into a frown. He did not understand why she was doing this.

He had never seen someone drive a limited-edition refitted Bentley to a vegetable market before, until now!

Perhaps, Jean was the only person in the world who would do it without hesitation.

With these thoughts muttering in his heart, Toby still followed her order and pulled up at the curb after he saw a big vegetable market in front of them.

Jean excitedly got off the car and then headed to the market. Toby wasn't sure if she noticed how other people stared at her or the car, but she either didn't or she chose to ignore them.

Then again, she was very quick to buy some meat, vegetables, and sea food before finally walking back towards the car. Toby reached out for the paper bags and placed them all on the trunk.
