Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 573

The atmosphere during the meal was a little bit silent, so Jean wanted to lighten up the mood. However, Jean observed that most of Avery's topics were about Moore. Moore, on the other side, just kept silent and had a cold look on his face. Seeing this, Jean had no other choice but to smile at Avery.

After finishing the meal, Moore excused himself and went upstairs to have some rest. It was evident he just wanted to be alone.

After Moore's exit, Jean finally felt a little bit relieved. She turned her head to look at Avery sitting next to her. She wanted to explain what had happened just now to Avery in order to clarify her doubts.

But when her eyes stopped on Avery, she noticed that Avery was staring at Moore's back. There was a trace of sadness on her beautiful face.

"Avery..." No matter what, Jean wanted to come clean and explain everything to Avery. She could not help comforting her by saying, "Avery, listen to me. I want to explain to you that you have misunderstood what has happened just now. Moore and I are just friends. Don't think too much."

"Really? You are just friends?" Avery stared at Jean and asked her indifferently.

"Yes! We're just friends!" Jean saw that Avery was still unwilling to believe her, so she sighed helplessly. "Do you know how Moore and I met? I hit him with my car and the impact was so severe that he hardly woke up. It's all my fault. I was too careless at that time. But fortunately, Moore's mind was strong enough and he finally woke up. You know what? If he hadn't woken up, I would have blamed myself all my life!

You can never imagine how happy I was to watch him wake up. It's because of that accident that we became friends. After a while, I learned that H City was the place where he was born. He just missed his hometown, so he came back to stay here for a few days. However, he was hit by me, so he had to be sent to the hospital. Since then, many plans of his life were changed. But before Moore was discharged from the hospital, all the people in the Bai family came to the hospital. Their attitude towards him was very bad.

I can bet that you are totally unaware of Moore's real identity. He must have told you that he is an orphan, right? In fact, he is not just an orphan. Ordinary people can never imagine what had happened to him. He lives a tragic life. He lost her mother since his early childhood. As for his bastard father, he married another woman and abandoned his biological son for his official career.

Someone had secretly created a new identity for Moore as an orphan, and he somehow arranged a foreign couple to adopt Moore. Since then, Moore went to Chicago with that couple and he lived his life there. That's all his story. After he left the hospital, Zed and I convinced him to move in to prevent the Bai family from bothering him. You can never imagine that how shameless they are. I can do nothing for Moore but I'll try my best to protect him."

Jean sighed helplessly when she finished her speech. She looked at Avery's face and said frankly, "It may be true that Moore and I don't look like ordinary friends. Yes, that's true. That's because our friendship has gone beyond life and death. We trust each other and cherish each other's company. But it has nothing to do with the romantic love you are thinking about. That's all I want to say. You can believe it or not, but this is the truth."

Jean looked at Avery with a straightforward face after saying this.

It was obvious from Avery's face that she was shocked by Moore's story. After hearing what Jean had said, she stared at the flowers on the tea table. Apparently, she was lost in thoughts.

Jean knew that Avery needed some time to think about the story which she had just heard now. The story must have made her want to contemplate things, so she gave Avery the time she needed. Without disturbing her, Jean picked up an apple and began to peel it.

In stunned state, Avery felt a little pain in her heart because she had never imagined that Moore's life was so rough. Knowing that he went through all this saddened her. Moreover, he pretended to be strong in front of her. It was a little hard to digest the fact he carried all this weight on his shoulder.

Before today, she only knew that Moore was an adopted orphan. Even that information sounded sad to her.

But now, after knowing the whole story of him, her heart ached.

'How rough his childhood must have been! Childhood is supposed to be time filled with joy and memories. And poor Moore lived this tragedy.

No wonder that he always wears a cold face and often refuses others. Now I understand the reason why he doesn't like to have dealings with strangers.

It's all because of his miserable childhood.

The people in the Bai family are all bastards! How can they treat Moore like some trash?' Avery thought with fury.

There appeared a trace of anger on Avery's face, and at this time she had already forgotten the unpleasant staircase scene. Now she only felt pity for Moore.

Jean peeled the apple and handed it to Avery.

Then Avery regained her composure. She looked at Jean with some embarrassment and said, "Jean, I'm really sorry. I have misunderstood you. When I saw Moore holding you while going downstairs, I thought that your relationship was by no means as simple as a friend. I thought that you must have feelings for each other. Now after hearing what you have said, I begin to understand it. I believe that Moore and you are definitely very good friends. No, not just good friends. Just as what you have said, your friendship has already gone beyond life and death. You are sworn friends. Thank you. Thank you very much for helping him, supporting him, and encouraging him when he is in trouble. It's so nice of you to stand by his side."
