Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 503

"I don't know. Ron was also rather confused when I asked him. This was why he thought pleading for Calvin would be inappropriate." Maranda's shoulders were hunched in resignation.

"Well, don't be too worried." Jean patted Maranda on her shoulder to comfort her,"Perhaps Calvin's mood will get better after he has fun in this trip."

"Hmm. These days, you'd better keep your distance from him! I fear he has said something very annoying to Zed that he shouldn't have," Maranda exhorted Jean in earnest.

"I get it." Maranda's words brought the truth home to Jean. She added,"Please be assured that I will!"

"I can't be assured! How can I be? I just saw Zed not looking in the best of spirits. Did you really quarrel with each other on your way here? Is what Calvin said true?"

Maranda was nervously wringing her hands as she asked Jean.

"How is that possible?" Jean had not seen Maranda's question coming. She was stunned. Still, it only took her a minute to regain her composure as she smiled at Maranda and said,"That's alright. Zed usually pull a long face, looking like someone owes him money. Don't take it to heart."

"Hmm. I am taking you to your room. I have specially chosen an apartment with the best view, the most luxurious one of the resort village, for you and Zed." Maranda tried to lighten things up. She flashed a mysterious smile at Jean to get her curious.

"You are behaving so suggestively!" Jean immediately saw through what Maranda was thinking and planning for her and Zed. She said,"Zed and I have been married for a long time. You can arrange any accommodation for us. There's hardly any need to do something special. But how about you and Ron? When are you guys getting engaged?"

"We will be announcing it officially very soon," said Maranda full of glee. "Our parents have met and started to discuss our marriage..." Clearly, Maranda was unable to contain her happiness.

"That's really quick!" Jean looked at her in surprise. Maranda's relationship with Ron had hastened beyond the normal time a relationship takes to reach the marriage stage. A bit perplexed, Jean asked her friend,"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Now, we still haven't selected the date to get married. As soon as the date gets confirmed, you'll be the first one to know." Maranda took both of Jean's hands and squeezed them in excitement.

"That's wonderful. Now I'd have to start thinking of a magnificent wedding gift for you two." Jean giggled with joy on hearing such welcome news. She was bursting with happiness for her friend.

'It seems that Maranda, the shy girl who had a crush on John but dared not confess, has grown up overnight.

How time flies! Unknowingly, our life paths have changed immeasurably.

And now, I am going to be a mother, ' Jean thought to herself.

As the thought of all this, Jean was swept by a wave of delight. She threw her arms around Maranda, and sincerely wished her,"Maranda, I am so happy for you! My heart felt congratulations on your coming happy union!"

"I will be! Jean, aren't you filled with happiness too?" Maranda replied, thrilled to bits.

"Hmm, may both of us be happy!"

"You hug each other in public without holding back. Aren't you two shy?" Ron teased them as he crept from behind without the two friends noticing him.

"Why have you come here? Are you all settled now?" Maranda immediately stopped embracing Jean and turned to ask Ron with an enquiring glance.

"Yes, I have kept everything in our room." Ron switched looking from Maranda to Jean and asked,"Where are Zed and your friend? Why didn't they come in with you?"

"They might be getting the luggage from the car. I think they should be here soon," Jean spoke to Ron with a broad smile.

As soon as she said this, Zed and Moore entered the place with the bags.

"Zed, you must be tired. Let me carry some for you!" Ron strode forward and took a suitcase from his hands.

"No, I can carry them alright." Zed courtesly declined Ron's favour.

Ron had no choice but to cross his hands that had been extended in Zed's direction. Ron said,"Maranda has arranged this apartment for you, and Mr. Bai's room is just opposite yours."

"You can call me Moore." Moore, who stood on Zed's left, looked at Ron with a warm smile.
