Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 553

More than anything, Avery was baffled and didn't know how to reply to Zed. She kept staring at Zed for a few moments before smiling bitterly. "Zed, I know a lot about Moore and I know how he feels. I know how he thinks. And he will not fall in love with me no matter how hard I try to impress him."

"It is inadvisable to make such an absolute conclusion, and that too, a pessimistic one. You shouldn't give up before you try anything. Once you keep on doing that, everything will be possible. Vikki, you are very gorgeous. I am sure that every man will be attracted by your beauty once he gets to see it. I am sure that you will get rewarded as long as you keep on trying hard and pushing yourself. You need to believe in yourself before someone else will believe in you,"

Zed told her with a convincing smile as he wanted to comfort her. He wanted to make sure that she wasn't pessimistic about her love for Moore.

His words made Avery fall deep in some thought. After mediating in silence for a while, she resolutely nodded in agreement and replied, "Okay, I've got it. I will talk to my manager as soon as we can arrange a meeting. I plan to take a long holiday, so that I can do more in an attempt to impress Moore and then make him love me back. Since I have known and loved him for years, I really want to try hard to gain his love. Whatever the results, I will be glad to accept them."

Hearing her determined tone as opposed to her previously compromised attitude, Zed looked at her with admiration and complimented her, "Avery, I haven't expected that you would be so open-minded and resolute. I really admire you a lot. Please take it easy! Jean and I are Moore's friends. We are his sole friends around these parts, and we will help you so you won't be alone."

"Mr. Qi, thank you so much. And, I would like to express my gratitude to your wife too," Avery replied gratefully.

"There's no need for formalities. You can call us Zed and Jean." Zed smiled at her. He didn't feel all at ease with her being so humble and down-to-earth.

"Then, please call me Avery! Vikki is just my stage name. But you should call me Avery, since we're all friends now," She replied with a smile.

"Okay, Avery." As Zed replied, a smile ran across his face and he noticed some sort of softness on hers, as if she was kind and loving.

Zed himself was really handsome and successful. And what's more, he had spoiled his wife very much. Looking at this man, Avery was unconsciously lost in admiration and involuntarily told him, "You and Jean make a great couple. I really admire you two."

"You don't need to admire us. Everyone can find his or her right one as long as he or she tries hard," Zed advised her.

"I hope so!" Even with Zed and Jean helping her, Avery wasn't so sure that she would get Moore's love back.

She knew very clearly about the kind of person he was as they had been classmates for four years.

But as Zed had just told her, how could she know whether Moore would finally accept her love or not if she had never tried to gain it?

Avery didn't want to spend her entire life living in regret and remorse. She didn't want to miss any opportunities either.

With that thought in mind, she was intent on doing something to impress Moore. She was thinking that no matter what the outcome of her efforts was, she wouldn't have to feel sorry for having never tried.

Jean and Moore came back with a box of insipid porridge purchased near the hospital. Jean was walking behind Moore and staring at his back in silence, feeling rather sad.

She was thinking that Moore wouldn't forgive her so easily this time.

She had been so anxious that she had scolded Moore just based on her own thoughts, and hadn't kept his feelings in mind, which had hurt him.

However, she couldn't take back her words.

The way she saw it now was that she had to act obediently in front of Moore so that he could forgive her at the earliest.

As Jean was lost deep in her thoughts, she didn't see where she was going on the stairs. Suddenly, her ankle twisted and she got a sprain. The pain was so sudden and piercing that she cried out loud involuntarily.

Moore was walking in front of her but hurriedly turned around as soon as he heard her cry. When he looked at Jean, he noticed that her face had turned deadly pale. At the sight of that, his eyebrows got knitted and drops of sweat welled up on his forehead and started to fall off.

Moore ran over to her in a hurry and asked her anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"I've got a sprain..." Jean replied painfully, though she felt more pity for him than pain for herself.

"How could you be so careless? Do you feel pain anywhere? Can you still walk?" Moore dropped questions one after another, as he got more and more anxious.

Jean tried to stand up and continue walking. But she felt even more terrible pain in her ankle after taking a measly two steps upstairs and her face turned much more livid.
