Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 538

Moore couldn't relax even after Jean's praise. He frowned and looked at her in confusion.

Jean read Moore's mind and she knew that he was still worried about meeting Gary. To make him feel better, she pushed him towards the door and said, "Stop looking at me like that! You go to the graveyard for your mother which is none of Gary's business. Moore, if you keep hesitating like this then you are nothing like your mother."

"Of course, she gave birth to me so I am like her!" said Moore anxiously.

"The way you are acting is making me a little suspicious. I know that you are uncomfortable because you might run into Gary there. But I will be there with you, and I'll make sure that he doesn't get in your way when you're at your mother's grave, I promise!" said Jean firmly.

"Jean!" Moore replied as he sighed. And then added, "You know, I don't want you to get involved between me and him."

"I'm afraid that I can't stay out of it," said Jean as her eyes were fixed on Moore. "I'm your best friend! And Gary maybe knows about our relationship by now. If he really wants you to change your mind about him then he definitely will have to go through me or Zed. Don't you think so?"

added Jean. As Jean said that, Moore felt guilty and he said, "I think I should move out of your house!"

"Oh, come on!" exclaimed Jean as she got annoyed by what Moore said. She then added, "Will anything get better if you move out? Do you think that it will stop Gary from bothering me or Zed then? No Moore! Stop acting like a child!"

"I shouldn't have moved in at all," said Moore as he sighed.

"Well, if you hadn't moved in, then I would have never known you as a friend!" replied Jean excitedly. But as soon as she calmed herself down, she added, "All right! Just stop over-thinking."

She then opened the door of the car and signalled Moore to get in.

Moore had no other choice so he leaned in the car helplessly.

Jean was relieved to see Moore get in the car so she sighed.

'Honestly, I wasn't sure if Moore would've been successfully persuaded.

The decision to visit Moore's mother's grave today is a little hasty.

Fortunately, he did not disregard my advice, ' thought Jean.

Jean smiled and followed Moore towards the back seat. Then she addressed to Toby, "Toby, let's go to the flower shop first."

"No, I don't think we need to buy flowers. We can just go straight to the grave," said Moore as he tried to change Jean's mind.

"This will be my first time going to your mother's grave, and you are not even letting me buy any flowers. Moore, do you want to embarrass me in front of your mother?" said Jean angrily.

"No, I didn't mean that," replied Moore hurriedly. And then he added, "I just want it to be really simple. It doesn't have to be that complicated."

"I disagree! No one worships their elders without flowers. Plus, do I look like someone who can't afford a bouquet of flowers?" asked Jean. Although she looked serious, she tried her best to calm Moore down.

On the other hand, it was Moore's habit to refuse other's offer but today he knew that Jean was right so he remained silent.

Jean saw that Moore accepted her offer silently so she sighed and said, "I know you feel uncomfortable because I forced you. But, Moore, this is the first time you've come here and I don't want you to leave any regrets later in life!"

"Hmmm!" replied Moore in a dull tone.

"You have to put up with this for your mother's sake," Jean consoled him.

"I know you want the best for me," said Moore and then sighed. He looked at Jean and added, "Now that I'm here, you can relax because I'm ready to face him."

Jean knew Moore was trying very hard to pull himself together. She said, "It never occurred to me that you wouldn't want to see him before. You've always been such a cool person ever since I've known you. Now it seems that you can be calm with everything, except the thing that is concerned with Gary."

"I just don't want to get involved with him!" answered Moore as he sighed.

"I understand!" said Jean as she nodded her head. And she added, "But I don't feel guilty for taking you with me today. There are some things that you can't avoid, no matter how much you want to."
