Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 498

"Come on, Zed! You always get so worried about me. I am not as delicate as a flower. You know, I am strong and tough enough to take care of myself." Zed's words had made Jean roll her eyes helplessly, as if exasperating her with his continuous worrying. "If there is anything I ought to know, you should tell it to me directly without thinking too much. We can deal with anything together."

"Okay, sweetheart!" Zed smiled. "You know what? It makes me excited to hear you say that the baby's the most important in the world right now. Jean, I am so glad to see you change yourself so nicely after being pregnant, just for the baby's sake."

"Zed...I am satisfied as long as you're happy. As long as you don't find me overly troublesome, and as long as you can help me deal with my troubles, I am happy." Jean suddenly let out a sigh. "Recently, a lot of things have been going on far too rapidly. This business with the Wens doesn't seem to end. And every time I thought we could settle down, something new has risen. At long last, I am relieved that everything is fine now."

"How about Shirley? What are we going to tell her?" Zed asked Jean about the current cause of their worries.

"After everything's been handled properly, I think we ought to let Joy see her one last time. She deserves that. Both of them do. Once that is done, we can decide whether we should tell Shirley the truth or not." Jean looked at Zed and asked for his opinion.

"Okay." Zed nodded in agreement. "Shirley has accepted the reality and calmed down. But her prison life has just begun. If she finds out about Joy's condition, she is going to lose control and that is not really advisable for us to tell her the truth at this critical moment. We should tell her everything after she settles down in prison life."

"Okay." Jean had gotten relaxed now and became aware of how sleepy she was. She gave a big yawn.

"Are you sleepy? Let's get to sleep. We can discuss the remaining affairs tomorrow." Zed immediately saw the tired look on her face and felt guilty about being so careless and letting her be so. He hugged her tightly, and

she nuzzled against his chest, adjusting and finding the most comfortable position. Then she slurred,"Zed, Dearest, good night."

"Good night." Zed affectionately kissed her hair, and slowly closed his eyes, feeling that beautiful woman in her arms.

The night was getting dark and the house finally became quiet.

When Jean woke up in the morning, she saw that Zed was already up and about and his side of the bed was empty.

She was lethargic even after the night's sleep and didn't feel like getting up.

For some reason, she didn't want to.

But her parents-in-law were living with them now. 'It may cast a bad impression on them if I get up too late.' She thought and

then got up reluctantly.

Before she could even put on her slippers, a message alert sounded on her phone.

She picked up her phone from the bedside table, and was surprised to see that it was a message on the WeChat app from Maranda. 'What could she have to say so early in the morning?' Jean knew Maranda slept late and the hour was still early for her.

"Jean, are you up? Calvin has come back from the Imperial Capital. He's invited us to the resort this weekend and also asked me to invite you, Zed, and your friend, Moore. Reply soon, I have to give him an answer. Mua!"

'Is Calvin back already?'

Jean was slightly shocked. 'Ron said that Calvin had gone to the Imperial Capital because of his family.

And his tone had implied that he had left for a long time.

But he is inviting us to the resort to have fun on the weekend. It sounds really interesting, ' Jean thought. The thought of a weekend outside with her family and friends was really exciting. She could hardly contain it.

She quickly finished her morning routines and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Sean and Moore were playing chess in the living room and Moore was, surprisingly, beating Sean really badly. It was surprising because Jean had always thought that Sean couldn't be beaten at chess.

Later, thinking of Maranda's invitation, Jean walked over to Moore and asked,"Moore, Maranda and her friends have invited us to go to the resort to relax this weekend. Would you like to come too? We'd love to have you with us.

"Only the two of us?" Moore asked with surprise.

'I am not familiar with Maranda.
