Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 481

Seeing that Jade and Jean were still happily involved in their cheerful chats, Zed couldn't help giving a smile on the two women's bond. He patted her on the shoulder. "Jean, it's already past ten, you should go to bed..."

"Is it that late already?" Jade didn't realize how time had flown. She looked up at Jean and said,"Good heavens, it really is! Jean, you should go to bed now. It's not good for you or your baby to stay up so late."

"All right." Jean nodded, gave a smile to Sean and Jade and bid her goodnight. "Father, mother, bye! I'll go sleep now!"

"Okay." Sean nodded.

"Good night." Jade waved at Jean.

With Zed taking Jean to their bedroom holding her arm, only Jade and Sean were left in the living room.

And not long after, Jade's face turned dark and gloomy and her smile disappeared. She walked back upstairs without a glance at Sean.

Sean merely put on a bitter smile but didn't say anything.

After being married to her for so many years, he knew very well how angry and furious his wife would be if he tried to calm her down when she was in a mood.

Upstairs, as soon as Zed and Jean entered the room, Jean immediately closed the door, sighed, and looked at Zed with a worried glance. "Zed, what do we do? If Mother sees Edna, she is going to be really mad. And if she finds out who Moore really is, especially in the mood she is right now, all hell is going to break loose in the mansion! What do we do? Do we tell her the truth now? Will that stop her from getting angrier later on?"

"No! We can't tell her yet. Though, I've asked father to take extra care that she doesn't find out. Let's just focus on the positive side for this moment and forget what could go wrong." Zed tired to comfort her. "We should not overthink it. It's no use worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. What's bound to happen will happen. Right now, you go take a shower and sleep. I can see how tired you really are after today."

"Okay." Jean agreed immediately. Zed was right. Overthinking would only add to her troubles.

She took out her bathrobe and walked towards the bathroom.

After she had finished showering, she walked back into the bedroom and saw Zed lying on the bed, with his eyes closed.

Pity and guilt flashed through her mind.

'Zed was busy with his work during the daytime. After work, he had to hurry to the hospital to pick me up. That left him really tired and exhausted and the toll it was taking was clearly visible in how sleepy he was.

What about me?

I have just kept bringing troubles on his way and had kept on making him worried. He has been clearing up the mess I have been bringing home all the time and has never said anything.'

Guilt welled up in Jean's mind. Unconsciously and involuntarily, she reached out a hand and began to stroke his face.

When her finger was feeling his tender skin, she let out a deep breath.

"Why do you sigh when touching my face? Is it not smooth? Am I pointy?"

Jean was really startled. She nervously looked at Zed who had just opened his eyes and said,"I am sorry. Did I wake you up? I didn't mean to do that."

"It's okay. I had just snoozed." Zed looked at Jean with smiling eyes and asked,"Have you finished showering?"

"Yes." Jean nodded and said,"Now it's your turn, you dirty boy. Come back quick, okay? Don't take too long..."

"Okay." Zed nodded and sat up from the bed. For some reason, Jean looked nervous, seeing which, he asked with a smile,"What's the matter? Are you afraid of me being too close to you?"

He moved even closer deliberately. Jean's nervous and shy aura was enjoyable at such times.

Her face immediately changed and she leaned backwards accordingly. "Zed, stop kidding me..." Jean chided him angrily.

"I'm not! I just want to be close to you." Zed gave a wink. He was deliberately irritating her.
