Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 544

"You don't need to be grateful, Moore. I just hope that you won't regret your choices. I heard that Edna's business have skyrocketed over the past few years,"

Jean said in haste with a reluctant smile.

Moore sneered at Jean's comment. "Her business will still be meaningless regardless of how huge of a deal it becomes. Hanley spent money so extravagantly. Her money would not be enough to compensate for her son's enormous amount of bets." He shrugged carelessly.

"Well, you know Hanley is addicted to gambling." Jean's eyes widened in surprise at Moore for knowing about Hanley's addiction to gambling. After a while, she smiled and said, "Does knowing about Hanley's like for gambling mean you also care about him?"

"Of course not. I was just bothered by him so much that I paid more attention to him. After all, you have to know someone's whereabouts when one always comes only to cause you troubles, so that you will have an idea on how to deal with him when the time comes."

A bitter smile formed on Moore's face as he uttered these words.

"And so, if I got it right, you are going to use this detail about him to threaten him, so he would stop badgering you?" With a frown on her face, Jean asked Moore very skeptically.

"If not, then what else can I do? Besides, there are already evidences that prove I am right. Aren't they?" Without removing his gaze on Jean, Moore continued, "I wouldn't have given up and threatened him to come to a compromise if I didn't know that he was addicted to gambling and needed money for all the debts."

Jean nodded. "Well, that also sounds reasonable." She paused and continued, "I don't know what you are thinking, but whatever you decide, I hope that you can be happy in the end."

Moore stared at Jean a little gratefully despite being full of bitterness.

'Jean, I know that you don't believe what I have said. I even can't believe it myself.

One thing is for sure. I hate all members of the Bai family, a lot more than I can imagine. More so, I hate them finding me and badgering me every chance they could get, again and again and one after another.

In order to lead a happy and peaceful life as before, I have no choice but to give up... to give up all that I shouldn't have had.

I know that you feel sorry for me, but nothing else is more important for me than you at this very moment. Do you know that?

No, of course, you surely don't know that.

I even made a deal with Hanley, the man I hate the most, so that I won't make you upset and worried. You already have too much in your hands.

Then again, I couldn't help but wish that everything can end smoothly.

I also hope that my relationship will be completely severed with the Bai family, ' thought Moore, feeling despair inside him.

After a while, Jean and Moore finally went back to the Qi house, but Zed was still not at home.

At that afternoon, the two of them drank cups of coffee and ate some dessert. Both of their eyes were glowing with excitement because of the caffeine and sugar they had just taken in.

After enjoying their afternoon tea, they both stayed inside the living room, sitting on the sofa watching TV. Moore then reached out for his phone and dialed.

Jean noticed this gesture from her periphery and asked with curiosity, "Who are you going to call?"

As far as she knew, Moore only knew a handful of people in the H City, let alone friends, and especially as soon as he got here, he already spent most of his time in hospital.

'Who can even make friends while stuck in a hospital room with an IV on one hand?' Jean wondered and thought about all the possible scenarios to possibly figure out how he could have gained friends in the city. Before she could think, Moore spoke and answered her question.

He didn't even remove his attention on his phone. "One of my friends abroad. Just now, I received a short message, saying that my friend wanted to come here to see me."

Jean's eyes widened and mouth agape. 'Moore's friend?

Coming here to see him?'

At the thought of this, Jean was suddenly in high spirits. Then, she asked Moore in high curiosity, "Is your friend male or female?"

At her question, Moore turned to look at Jean. From her facial expressions, he suddenly realized what Jean was thinking about. Before he could explain, his call was answered. He immediately stood and walked a few steps away from Jean.
