Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 461

It was after hearing what he had said that Jean realized the true reason why Zed had agreed to her advice and wasn't afraid that Gary might get provoked when she suggested that Moore stay in Qi's house.

'The reality is, they have held a grudge against each other all these years so Zed doesn't care if they get provoked.

Therefore, no one from the Bai Family has yet arrived to blame us for letting Moore stay in the Qi Mansion.

Interesting! Interesting!' Jean thought secretly.

An excited look crept up on her face and she instantly responded,"If what you said is true, then I think it would be a great choice if we make Moore our baby's godfather."

"Why is that?" Zed was confused as he couldn't see the connection.

"Think Honey, think! What does the fact that Gary doesn't dare to visit our home even though he knows Moore lives here actually mean? Clearly, he has to take the influence of the Qi family into account before making any rash decisions. If we make Moore our baby's godfather, we will be able to protect him very easily. With the knowledge that the Qi Family is backing him up, the Bais will have to think a lot before they try to hurt him."

"But that only helps and benefits Moore. How is that any good for our baby?" Zed asked and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Do you know why your mother dislikes Edna, Zed?" Jean responded with a question of her own. She was looking at Zed's face with great interest.

"I am not entirely clear about that. The rivalry has been going on ever since I was a child. Something happened," Zed said as he shook his head with an absent look on his face. A while later, he continued,"As far as I know, My mother and Edna were close friends before that time. Their relations turned sour soon after my mother married my father and Edna married Gary."

"If so, perhaps that happened because of their husbands," Jean suggested,"What do you think? Is it because Edna loves your father, or because your mother loves Gary?" Jean boldly guessed with a laugh.

"Nonsense! Stop it, Jean!" Zed scolded her as he registered his displeasure with exactly what she had said,"I'm sure my mother loves my father very much. Stop that nonsense!"

"Then it must be Edna who is in love with your father and hates your mother for stealing him from her! If so, I understand why Edna, as the daughter of the ex-mayor of the city, married Gary," Jean murmured as she got lost in her thoughts.

What Jean said immediately attracted Zed's attention, and he asked instantly,"How do you know Edna is the daughter of the ex-mayor?"

"It's Moore who told me. Honestly, I think there is something going on. Someone is there who has been trying to stop Moore and his father's reunion," Jean looked at Zed and concluded.

Jean's interference was an intriguing one, though far-fetched. Zed furrowed his eyebrows in thought. Somehow, for some unknown reason, he felt anxious as if her words had reminded him of something.

He reached out his hands and placed them on Jean's cheeks as he gazed at her intimately. When he spoke, there was complete earnestness in his voice,"You don't trouble yourself with these problems, Jean. I forbid you to do it! You have to remember that you have a baby in your womb. What you should do right now, is take care of yourself and our baby. Moore is a grown-up man, you know. I am sure that he has learnt how to face his own troubles by himself, you understand?"

"You know something, don't you, Zed?" Jean looked at him with an excited look and said. Evidently the way in which Zed suddenly started caring for her meant that he knew something.

"Don't ask. Even if I did know, I would not tell you. And moreover, I am not interested in the whole blasted event at all. I want some peace and quiet to be honest." Zed said and shook his head.

Jean felt disappointed as Zed had said that he didn't know anything more. She was lost in her thoughts even as she nodded in the affirmative.

'I know Zed well. If he says that he doesn't know anything, that means actually that he doesn't know anything about it.

I trust him well. There is no point in suspecting him of fibbing.'

"Okay, I will leave it to Moore, Honey. Just be relaxed. I will stay at home for our baby's sake. I promise, Zed." She consoled her husband as she had noticed how worried he had got.
