Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 418

"Sit down, please. You have not recovered yet, so it's unnecessary to pay too much attention to etiquette." Zed stopped Moore in a hurry.

"I feel much better now, and I'm not as weak as you think. Don't believe Jean's words. She's making a mountain out of a molehill." Moore ruefully smiled at Zed.

"No, you are wrong here. I have to obey her orders. From what I know, women begin to wonder if we love them when we don't listen." Zed sat opposite Moore and looked at him with a smile.

Hearing Zed's words, Moore nodded. Zed had hit home with this point. He replied,"I couldn't agree with you more. But in Jean's case, this is especially true. She's a bit different from others since she doesn't reveal her emotions too easily and bear matters of the heart all by herself."

Zed looked askance at Moore and said,"It seems to me that you know her very well."

"It is because of the video incident. I saw her face awash with tears almost every other day in the hospital. Despite what she had gone through, she never complained once." Moore held Zed's gaze as he replied. The video incident made Zed flush with shame. After a moment's pause, he sighed.

"Speaking of the video incident, I have to apologize for not handling things properly. Thank you, Moore. Thank you for being her friend and taking care of her at such a stressful time," Zed said to Moore with gratitude.

"You are welcome. Though, my help wasn't much significant." Moore shook his head.

Zed looked at Moore with a smile. Although they had not expressed their thoughts frankly, both of them knew what each other wanted to say.

Moore saw Zed was looking at him with a smile, so he felt a little nervous. "You can rest assured that I won't promise Jean to move in and interfere in your private life. Jesse just left, and I don't want to become the second 'Jesse'," he said.

"I'm very glad to hear you say that." Zed sighed when he heard Moore's judicious words. "But I've promised Jean that if she can persuade you to move in, I will have no objection to it."

Moore felt a little bit surprised at Zed's words. "So, I will not promise Jean this, and thus I won't bother you."

"No, you have misunderstood me," Zed shook his head and said. "It's true that I didn't welcome the idea of you moving in my house in the past. But now I prefer that you live with us."

'Many things can be prevented from happening if you are around.' Zed thought.

"Why?" Moore was puzzled and curious at Zed's words at the same time.

"You don't need to ask why. If you don't want Jean to feel guilty about you all the time, then just promise her!" Moore was stumped.

He looked at Zed for a long time, guessing the meaning behind his words. Finally, he nodded his head and said,"I'll think it over, so please give me some time. It's a little surprising to me."

Zed nodded in sympathy and subtly nodded in agreement.

'It is true that Moore had never imagined that I will agree to him moving in.

In fact, I don't have to worry about their past. Now, Jean's my wife and we love each other. That's enough.

I have to trust Jean and I better have confidence in myself, ' Zed thought.

"The food is ready. Zed, please, come to help me."

Jean poked her head out of the kitchen and beckoned Zed.

"I'm coming." Zed responded to Jean and stole a look at Moore, who was still lost in thought. Shaking his head, he walked into the kitchen with a slight smile on his lips.

"What can I do, baby?" Looking at the amount of things Jean was trying to get done, Zed felt sorry for not peeking in once to help her. He said,"I told you to let Zelda help you, but you still don't take my advice. Are you feeling tired, baby?"

"No, I'm alright." Zed was happy to see that Jean had fully immersed herself in cooking. "Today I've prepared dinner with a lot of thought, so try to eat as much as you can later even if the dishes are not so delicious," Jean said.

"Of course, even if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have tried my best to finish all the dishes." Zed said to Jean tongue in cheek.

"Come on, baby. I was just kidding. Don't be so serious. Let's open a bottle of red wine! Our meal is almost ready. Lay the bowls and plates on the table while I start serving the dishes."

The corners of her mouth turned into a faint smile as she ordered Zed about.
