Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 569

Seeing what was happening in front of her, Avery was utterly embarassed. 'I guess I have misunderstood Moore and Jean's relationship after all.

If they were anything more than friends, Zed would have definitely not allowed Moore to live here.'

Avery shook her head with a smile, and looked at Moore who was standing silently. She said, "Thank you, Moore."

"Will you feel uncomfortable if you don't thank everyone today?" Moore asked Avery, half-annoyed.

"No." After Avery heard Moore's taunt, her cheeks flushed a deep red. "I had to thank you. We are not classmates now but you still care about me…"

Moore looked away suddenly. Avery saw him with knit eyebrows, mulling over what she had just said. Moore looked again at Avery and saw her standing abashed. He sighed and said, "Don't think too much, Avery. You are a superstar now. Of course, I feel honored to be your friend."

'What?!' Avery was livid. "Moore, do you treat me as your friend just because I am a star?"

Moore balked at Avery's anger. "You can think like this if you think it is true!"

With that, Moore walked off in a huff, without looking at Avery.

Avery was rooted at the spot regretting what she had just said.

'Moore is not at all a superficial man.

Why did I have to annoy him? Now, I am left all alone here.'

Avery's mind was clouded with these thoughts as she walked into the house.

Meanwhile, Jean met Moore on his way into the house and asked, "Where is Avery? Moore, did you leave her alone on the porch?"

"I am coming." Hearing her name, Avery decided to turn the situation around somehow. It wouldn't do to act so impulsively. She took a deep breath, and walked over to them with a smile.

"Come come, please sit here," said Jean, waving at Avery to signal her to come and sit next to her. "I have asked Zelda to cook some food for you. It should be served soon. All of you must be very tired by now. It'll be a good idea to rest after lunch."

"Thank you, Jean." Avery smiled gently.

"Oh, you say it again and again." Jean deliberately pretended to be angry. "Why do you keep thanking us? Since you are Moore's friend, you are our friend too. Anyway, what took you so long in coming back? I woke up many a time and didn't find you…"

Jean was deliberately talking this animatedly to make things more casual between them.

Just as she said this, ironically, serious silence descended upon them.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Noticing that both Moore and Avery were quiet, Jean asked with a puzzled look.

"It is a bit complicated," Moore shrugged his shoulders and told Jean.

Jean's confusion went from bad to worse. She looked at Avery.

Jean's probing look was met with a bitter smile by Avery. "When we just walked out of the hospital, we met Adolf."

"What happened?" Nervousness seized Jean as she heard Adolf's name.

"It was because of Albert. Zed's suspicion of him is right," Moore said in anger.

Jean was shocked and looked at Zed with her eyebrows arched.

"Don't look at me." Zed sighed and kept his hand on Jean's shoulder to calm her. "This thing is a bit complicated. I haven't been able to wrap my head around it."

"You don't have to hide it from Jean," Avery said. "I happened to see Albert look at drunken Adolf with resentment written all over his face. Albert was afraid that I may tell Adolf. So he made every effort to make me leave Adolf... "
