Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 433

Hearing Zed's words, Jean felt relaxed at once. On the other hand, a sweet smile appeared on Jean's face. "You are so bad! How can you tease me like that?" she asked, feigning anger.

"Believe me, I didn't mean to do that. You didn't hear me and was busy getting anxious. You can't blame me for that, honey," Zed said with a naughty smile on his face.

"You did it on purpose. You stopped speaking so as to see me getting anxious." Jean snorted, pretending to be displeased.

As a matter of fact, Zed indeed did it deliberately as he wanted to watch Jean get worried about his feelings for her.

At the moment, Zed put on a big smile as he reached out his hand and gently rubbed Jean's long hair.

It was already midnight when they arrived home.

Moore was not in the living room at the time so they figured he might have fallen asleep upstairs.

Therefore, Zed and Jean slowed down their pace and walked quietly to their bedroom.

All of a sudden, a sharp ringtone rang loudly from the living room. They had almost reached their room but stopped on hearing it.

Feeling stunned, Zed and Jean exchanged a look and went back downstairs helplessly.

"It's your fault. We all have cell phones nowadays. Why is there a need to place a phone in the living room? I've never heard it ring before. I thought it was for the decoration,"

Jean said in a low voice looking annoyed.

"Why would anyone keep a phone for decoration!" Zed responded feeling appalled by her thoughts.

Zed and Jean were lost in their bickering, but the phone was still ringing. Unable to take it anymore, Zed went near and took a look at the number that was displayed. His earlier expression was gone and now he looked serious.

Noticing the difference in Zed's expression, Jean looked worried. "What's wrong? Who's that?" she asked anxiously.

"It is Joy," Zed replied with a hint of helpless in his eyes.

"What? Joy?" Jean was surprised and had her eyes wide open. She couldn't help but ask,"She has my number, doesn't she? If she is calling for help then why isn't she calling me directly? What's the point of calling in this phone placed in our living room?"

As Jean went on putting forward her doubts, the ringtone stopped suddenly. The room fell into its earlier silence.

"Who knows? But I still think that she didn't call us with good intentions." Zed shrugged as he replied. According to him, Joy's calls were always a bad sign.

"Let's go upstairs and have some rest. Don't mind her," Jean said as she didn't want to waste any time brooding over it. Quickly she held Zed's hand and pulled him with her.

Zed looked at Jean and gave a sigh. "What if she was calling for something serious? Then she'll definitely call again."

"I have a solution for that." After saying that, she walked back to the place where the phone was kept and unplugged it. Looking satisfied with herself, Jean flashed a proud smile to Zed. "I'm so sleepy. We really need to have some rest," Jean reminded wanting Zed to follow her to the bedroom.

Once again she held Zed's hand and yawned as she walked upstairs.

Seeing Jean's reaction, Zed stood dumbfounded. He didn't know how to react.

'Jean is getting more and more naughty.

How can she be so cool? Isn't she afraid that Joy might come over and look for us?' Zed wondered.

All he wanted was to get over with it through phone rather than see Joy again. He hated it when Jean was near her.
