Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 572

'I've already said that I don't feel like eating. Why couldn't you just leave me alone for a while?

Jean, do you really have to keep asking?' asked Moore helplessly in his mind and sighed internally.

Moore and Avery soon arrived at the head of the stairs. And he found that Jean was standing there with a frown, looking down on the stairs with helplessness written all over her face. At the realization that Jean might only pretend to be pitiful in order to make him believe her, he was kind of irritated internally. But still, he felt really bad at the sight of her looking sad. He couldn't help but get lost in his thought for a few seconds.

'I've been too emotional just now.

I should have thought of Jean's foot. It has been swelling since yesterday.

As she wants to go down the stairs, her pain will definitely increase if she attempts it. It is my fault that I didn't think of it earlier.

I cannot pretend to be indifferent to her, regardless of the reason she and Avery called me here. Now that I've seen her in trouble, there is no way for me to leave her behind, ' struggled Moore in his mind. And finally, he decided to help Jean to get downstairs.

After letting out a sigh, he walked towards Jean and looked at her with a peaceful face as he always did.

Meanwhile, Jean looked up at Moore and found that he was looking at her. There flashed a frustrated look in her eyes.

'Why does Moore's face look like it contains a lot of meanings? It is bottling up a lot of emotions in it.

Aren't there helplessness, struggles, compromise and heartache in it? Oh, Moore…' thought Jean all flustered.

At the thought of this, Jean bowed her head in shame and dared not to look at him anymore.

'He must have known the tricks that I am playing. How could he not know? He is so clever, ' sighed a guilty Jean internally. She knew he could see right through her.

But then she looked up at Moore defiantly as if she took a different turn in her thought suddenly.

'What is so wrong about fixing him up with Avery?

I am just doing this for his own good, aren't I?' Jean said to herself.

Noticing the guilty look on Jean's face, his heart felt a sudden ache. Moore could only sigh with helplessness written all over his face. He shook his head as if he could read Jean's mind. Shift in her thought was so evident to Moore. However, he had made up his mind to help and was about to carry her.

"Wait…" said Jean suddenly as she stepped back a little bit. She looked at him with some embarrassment on her face and added, "I just need your hand for support. I think I can manage with a little help. My wound is much better now. It's just that it will hurt to exert too much pressure."

"Even if you walk with my help, you'll get pain in your wound," replied Moore with an impatient look on his face. And after his words, he quickly carried her with his arms and went straight downstairs, leaving her no time to refuse his offer.

Jean was in shock and she looked back hastily to find that Avery was looking at them. There was a look of utter shock on her face.

'Oh crap!' uttered Jean in her heart.

She was all in a fluster at the thought that Avery might have misunderstood them.

But Moore was carrying her and had a duty to do. So she decided it was the best to not disturb him.

By now, Jean's face had turned crimson red. She could only watch Avery standing alone at the head of the stairs. Even from far, she could clearly see Avery's disappointment.

"Moore, please let me down!" exclaimed Jean hastily as she could not take it any longer.

"We're almost there," replied Moore with a blank look on his face. He did not seem to accept her suggestion at all.

"But…" said Jean and stopped suddenly. She wanted to say something, but stayed silent as she didn't know what to say. Truth be told, Jean felt completely trapped.

"But what?" asked Moore.

"Well, nothing," replied Jean, and this time in a dull tone. She did not expect Moore to ask for details, but by now she seemed to have accepted the situation. With a downcast expression, Jean gave up struggling.

After getting down the stairs, Moore carefully put Jean down and helped her to stand steadily on her feet. Then he found that Avery was not following behind them. So he looked up to the second floor.

Noticing that Moore was looking up at her, a sudden smile came across Avery's face and then she hurried downstairs.

Jean kept her eyes fixated on Avery and wanted to explain eagerly. But she knew this wasn't the appropriate time for explanation as Moore was there at the same time. Instead of speaking, Jean remained silent and looked at Avery.
