Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 471

"Jean…" Zed's face turned gloomy and dark. And he sternly chided her in a disappointed tone as he glared at her,"How many times do I have to tell you? You are pregnant now. You must be careful while doing something as simple as walking on the road. I expected better from you than putting yourself in unnecessary danger. You come with me to the doctor and get checked up. If you are fine, I will forgive you this once only. But if something has happened to you, then I am going to punish you even more!"

Jean had already expected Zed to be angry when she had seen him. What was unexpected was exactly how much angrier he was than she had thought.

"I am sorry, Zed. I won't do anything like this ever again. I was worried about Moore so I went out with him. I hadn't expected that such a bad thing would happen to me outside."

Jean said dejectedly.

"You clearly know how dangerous it is for you to remain outside," Zed was still a little angry and was still acting stern and tough. "Jean, from now on, you are not allowed to leave the house. You have to stay indoors at all times. Do you understand?"

"What?" Jean stared at her husband in shock. What he had just said was unbelievable.

'Is Zed going to ground me at home and not let me leave until the baby comes?'

Jean wondered, 'Is that really necessary?'

She wanted to refuse those orders there and then, but when she saw just how angry Zed was at her, she merely drooped her shoulders and let it be. She had to accept the punishment for at least now.

"Okay! I will listen to whatever you say. Please stop being angry, okay?" Jean swayed Zed's arm gently in an effort to sway him to her side.

She was thinking, 'If I keep arguing with Zed about my punishment right now, that would be a stupid idea.

He is really angry at the moment and any further arguments will only add fuel to the fire.

I should be patient for a few days and whenever Zed is in a good mood, I will talk to him. It will be easier to convince him to reconsider in the future.'

Zed hadn't expected that Jean would be so obedient and perhaps that was why he was slightly surprised.

'It looks like she has accepted her faults and agrees to what I say, which isn't wrong by the way. After all, she is pregnant now. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about the baby in her womb.'

Zed felt relieved on hearing her agree, and he let her know the same.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Jean." Zed reached out his hand and patted Jean's hair. "Now, tell me, were you scared? Are you okay?"

"Yes, sweety! I was really scared at that time. Zed, don't you feel like the Bais are a group of dump and stupid people? I mean there's something definitely wrong with their brains. That's for sure! Gary had just left after discussing things with us and Hanley immediately tried to kill Moore! It's an outrage!" Jean was furious about the whole affair and Zed felt the same.

When he heard her words and saw that her face was flushed because of her anger, he replied coldly,"I am not going to let him get away with this. You were inside the car too and Moore was a guest of the Qis. And he still tried to hurt the pair of you. If Gary doesn't deal with him, then I will!"

"Zed, dear. You are so amazing!" Jean became excited when she saw that Zed wanted revenge for her. The thought was both exciting as well as naughty for her.

Rarely did she ever praise Zed for anything and therefore, Zed was both a little surprised, and quite embarrassed when he heard the sentence.

"Moore is still getting an anti-inflammation drip. Are you hungry? How about I take you out for some food? There's a restaurant nearby." Zed asked when he noticed that Jean looked a little paler than usual.

"Yes. Okay!" Jean immediately nodded in excitement. "You know what? I have been hungry for quite a few hours, but I was so worried about Moore that I forgot everything and did not dare leave him alone lest he need something."

"Little fool, if you are hungry, you can ask Toby to bring some food for you," Zed scolded her affectionately for her lack of common sense.

"Toby was also injured, Zed." Jean chided him for his lack of thoughtfulness in return,"I asked him to deal with his wounds first." She stuck out her tongue naughtily and shyly said,"You do know there were three people sitting in the car, don't you? It was only I who did not get injured!" Something seemed to dawn on Jean and she asked,"Zed, don't you think that God treats me very well?"

"Yes. You are really lucky and it seems as if God loves you a lot. You've had several narrow escapes now." Zed agreed with Jean. But later, he thought of something and his face turned gloomy.

'Jean certainly would have been injured if it wasn't for Moore. He protected her.
