Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 570

All Jean could do was to sigh silently. She was hoping that her foot would recover soon so that Zed wouldn't lift her up in front of Avery every time she had to move. It was really loving but to be lifted like that in front of everyone was a tad embarrassing.

Lost in these thoughts, Jean absent-mindedly took another sip of her soup. All her attention at the moment was focused on the food in front of her.

After finishing her late-night snack, Jean slightly rubbed her round belly in satisfaction as she thought of her baby.

She had been really concerned about Avery until now and therefore, hadn't eaten much.

It was only after she had made sure that Avery returned safe and sound, that she relaxed finally. And with her mind relaxing, the effect was felt finally and she found herself starved. She ate quite a lot as she was pregnant and needed nutrition.

Seeing Jean's satisfied face, Zed put on a tender look and reached out his hand to rub her soft hair.

"It's late. Please go upstairs and have a rest. Moore, I had a room made ready for Avery just next to yours. Lead her there, will you?" Zed advised everyone to go and rest now. It was late.

"Sure." Moore nodded and looked towards Avery, who was busy biting on an apple happily.

Avery continued eating and followed him upstairs.

"Zed, why don't we go upstairs?" Jean asked with curiosity written all over her face.

After making sure that Moore and Avery had left and were out of ear-shot, Zed smiled slightly and asked in response, "Haven't you been trying to get the two of them together? Now is the best chance for that."

"Right!" Jean's eyes glimmered in excitement on hearing the explanation. "Avery only has three days. We need to take good advantage of this chance."

"Yeah. And there's another reason why we don't go upstairs for the moment. You've eaten too much. I'm afraid you might get dyspepsia if we go to sleep directly. You need time to digest your snacks,"

Zed explained with a soft look on her.

Jean was embarrassed at once as her face flushed red. She looked at Zed and asked in an embarrassed voice, "Zed, have I really eaten so much?"

"You are pregnant. What you ate is for you and our baby. I'm glad to see you eating more than usual. It will be of immense help as you put on some weight. You are still too thin. It seems like I'll need to put in a lot of efforts," Zed said as he put on a tender smile.

As Jean heard his words, she was delighted at once and responded with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll try my hardest to realize your dream. I hope our baby grows up to be healthy and put on some weight as well."

"All right." Zed held her hand and said, "Since your foot hasn't recovered yet, we'd better stay here and watch some TV rather than moving around."

"I'm okay. Let's go upstairs." Jean didn't want Zed to stay up late for her as she could see that he was already tired. So she added, "The radiation from the TV is not good for the baby. I'll go read a book and you can go to bed."

"How can I fall asleep and leave you alone?" Zed shook his head immediately.

"Why not? I'm not a kid. I don't need your company. Besides, I took a nap earlier so I probably can't fall asleep tonight. Aren't you going to work tomorrow morning? Zed, listen to me please. Let's go to our bedroom now. I'll sit by your side and watch you fall asleep."

Jean tried to persuade him in her soft voice.

Zed looked at her tenderly and nodded eventually, though with slight hesitation. He felt so warm as he had someone around him who was concerned for him.

He lifted Jean up in his arms and they ambled towards their bedroom.

After being put to bed, Jean grabbed a book from the bedside and showed it proudly to Zed.

"Do you like that kind of books?" Zed asked as he took the book and had a look at its cover page. It was a boring book for girls, which didn't convey any useful stuff.
