Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 499

"Okay," Jean responded. She nodded and walked towards to the dining room.

"Sean, why did you agree to Zed and Jean going to the resort? It's dangerous out there, and Jean is pregnant. I will be so worried about her safety," Jade said to Sean.

Hearing her tirade, Sean paused the game and looked at Jade. He shook his head and said,"Jade, you worry too much. Zed and Jean aren't kids. Going out and hanging out with their friends is really not a big deal. Do you really want to keep them with us, two elders, every single day? On top of that, Moore is going too. Two grown-up men are going to be with Jean. What else wouldn't they be able to handle?"

Sean said.

Jade thought over Sean's words. She couldn't argue at this point. But somehow, she couldn't shake off her worries with Sean's argument.

"For some reason, I have a bad feeling about their trip. I will try to talk Zed out of this weekend resort idea, when he is home," said Jade. She mumbled and walked away from Sean.

Sean sunk in his chair without saying a word to Jade. He flashed a wry smile at Moore and said,"I apologize for this. She usually doesn't act like this. She is just too much worried about Jean and the baby."

Moore smiled back and replied,"Uncle Sean, there's no need to apologize. I think you are very glad to have her as your wife."

"Oh? How so?" Sean asked curiously.

"I can see Aunt Jade is a very caring and detail-oriented woman. With her by your side, you can let go of a lot of worries," said Moore with a big smile.

"That's true. With Jade's company for all of these years, she has taken care of a lot of things for me," said Sean. He gave Moore a nod to show his agreement and continued,"In fact, she did a lot of things way better than me."

"I knew she is an amazing woman when I first saw her. That is why I think you are glad to have her by your side! With Aunt Jade's help, your life must be so much easier." Moore smiled and added.

"You are right. I am glad. If my daughter had not been killed in that incident, my life would have been perfect," said Sean.

"Uncle Sean, let's not think about the past. We have played chess for hours now. Sitting for too long is not good for your health. May I have the pleasure to take a walk in your beautiful garden with you?" Moore put down the chess pieces in his hands on the board, and requested Sean politely.

"Did I lose again?" asked Sean. He took a close look at the chessboard, and noticed that the Black pieces were losing.

"I have to admit you are way better than me on this game. I have lost five times in a row now," said Sean. "Alright then, let's go for a walk."

Moore stood up and started walking by Sean's side.

Today, Jean had a very good appetite. After eating two big bowls of minced pork congee with preserved eggs, she finally felt full. She rubbed her stomach and looked at Jade with satisfaction in her eyes. "Mother, the congee you cooked was so delicious. My stomach is too full for anything else," said Jean.

(*TN: Minced Pork Congee with Preserved Eggs is a name of a common Chinese dish.)

"Silly girl," Jade smiled and said,"if you like it, I will cook it more often for you." Right after uttering those words, her smile froze on her lips. She thought, 'I am going to leave next week. I don't know when she will get to taste my cooking next.'

Suddenly, Jade was overcome by sadness.

It was not hard for Jean to guess what was on Jade's mind.

Jean could tell that Jade didn't want to leave as Jade stood there in confusion.

"Mother, if you don't mind, I would like you to stay here for more days," said Jean.
