Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 458

Zed and Jean bought a lot of snacks, health care products and fruits in the supermarket. Jean could not help but let out a sigh in her heart. 'Thanks to the baby, I can eat whatever I want to eat without hesitation now.'

Zed was staring at baby clothes that hung not far from where they stood. His eyes gleamed with joy as his eyes roved over the rows of tiny pastel clothes. Noticing Zed's gaze, Jean groaned in her heart and held Zed's arm to bring his attention back to her. "Zed, we shall go home now. The baby is still small right now. It's too early to buy these clothes."

Zed wanted to walk into the shop. Hearing Jean's words, he turned to look at her radiating like a healthy pregnant woman. Zed said helplessly,"I want our child to be born real soon. I can't wait to take the baby in my arms and play with him or her."

Suppressing a giggle, Jean rolled her eyes.

Zed came to her side of the car and opened the door. Once she was comfortably seated, he sat in the driver's seat. Touching his hand gently with affection, Jean ventured to ask,"Zed, why do you like babies so much? You don't look at all like the kind of person who would love babies!"

"It's our baby. Why won't I love it?" Zed asked with a puzzled look.

As soon as those words were out of Zed's mouth, he grimaced with regret. He was quick to add,"I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"It doesn't matter. I was not born to be a happy girl." Jean shrugged her shoulders in bitter irony.

Even if she knew that Henry had divorced his mother because of Joy's devilry, she couldn't help being upset.

'No matter what happened, I am his daughter. We lived in the same house but he never paid any attention to me because of Joy's instigations.' This was why Jean still could not forgive Henry.

"But you care so much about our baby, which makes me very surprised." Jean looked at Zed and sighed. "Compared to you, I appear too calm even though I am also very happy and excited."

"Jean, take it easy." Zed immediately understood the meaning behind Jean's words. He reached out and grasped her hand. "I love our baby. I am so nervous because I am looking forward to its coming. Ever since I fell in love with you, I have wanted to have our baby."

"Why?" Jean immediately asked in amazement.

'The elders tend to like babies while the young often dislike having babies early, right?

For example, Zed's Grandpa and Mom like babies very much.

But to my surprise, Zed is also eager to be a father. Isn't he afraid of getting disturbed by the baby?'

"I really like babies." Zed explained while driving the car. "Of course, it is not the main reason."

"Then what is the main reason?" Jean looked at Zed and asked.

"The main reason is my grandfather." Talking of his grandfather, Zed was worried. "In fact, Grandpa had experienced a cardiac surgery three years ago. But the attending doctor told us privately that Grandpa did not recover well because of his advanced age. That is to say, his illness will be aggravated with time.

Grandpa has been looking forward to having a great-grandson or great-granddaughter for quite long now. Jean, I am really happy that we will be able to fulfill his wish with this baby's birth. As for Grandpa, I owe him a lot. This is the only thing I can do for him."

Zed's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Seeing his Grandpa age had been a bittersweet realization. Now with the baby coming, he could give him some glimmer of joy.

Jean was stunned. She kept quiet for a while.

She could understand why Grandpa was eager to have a great-grandson or great-granddaughter.

Grandpa had also expressed his wish many times before her in the past. He had often urged Jean to give birth to a baby early.

At that time, Jean thought he said it to show that he acknowledged her as Zed's wife.

Every time he said it, Jean often felt happy. But now, realizing the true intent behind those words saddened her a bit.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Jean looked at Zed and asked him gloomily.

"Little fool, if I had told this to you before, it would have just added to your burden. That's precisely what I don't want to see." Zed sighed. "Jean, right now you are only two months pregnant. In another month, I want to take you back to the Imperial Capital to visit my grandfather and personally tell him the good news, okay?"
