Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 587

The four of them went into the dining room and they saw a table full of delicious food that Zelda had prepared for them in a short time.

Jean's eyes brightened up at the sight of mouth-watering dishes. She immediately grabbed a chair and began to eat.

The rest of them felt hungry too as they saw Jean enjoying her food so much.

It was a happy atmosphere and everyone had enjoyed the sumptuous late-night meal.

After a hearty meal, everyone said their goodbyes to each other and returned to their own rooms.

It was midnight and all was quiet. Zed was reading on the bed and saw Jean coming out from the bathroom. Fresh from the shower, she looked clean and beautiful. Drops of water glided seductively from her swan-like neck down into the opening of her bathrobe.

But when he saw her long wet hair hanging over her shoulder, he frowned and jumped out of the bed and walked to her.

Grabbing the dry towel from her hand, he scolded her, "Don't you know how to care for yourself? Why didn't you blow-dry your hair after shower?"

"Uh, I don't want to keep you waiting. And you need to go to bed early." Jean looked at Zed with her apologetic face and continued, "Considering that you didn't have a good sleep yesterday and as I said, I was hoping for you to rest early, but then we…"

"It's alright. I am fine." Zed laughed at her words. "Don't worry about it, dear. I don't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, you're the one I'm worried about. You need to dry your hair before you go to bed. Otherwise, you will get a headache. Do you get me?"

"I see." Jean grabbed the towel from Zed's hand and then said, "You need to take a shower too, Zed! I can dry it myself!"

Jean said, pushing him to the bathroom.

Zed was helpless with his wife's prodding and finally went inside the bathroom to take a shower.

Jean smiled as she listened to the sound of the running water. She wiped her hair and walked to the balcony.

Looking up at the clear starry night, she closed her eyes and her mind went back to what happened in Xiaguang Mountain.

'I wonder how Calvin is now?

Moore persuaded Hanley to keep the incident a secret and we haven't heard from Calvin since then.

It has been so many days and surely, there should be a result by now. Why is it that I didn't hear anything about him?' she wondered.

Jean went back to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. She stared at the bathroom door waiting anxiously for Zed to come out.

Zed came out after he took a quick shower. He was surprised to see Jean still up and had been waiting for him. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" he asked.

"Don't you want me to wait for you?" She took the towel from his hand and gently wiped his hair. "Zed, I forgot to ask you…how is Calvin now?" she asked.

Zed was stunned by Jean's question about Calvin. "Why all of the sudden you want to know about him?" he asked back.

"Nothing, it just crossed my mind," Jean replied with a smile.

"He..." Zed paused for a while and was thinking for a better answer. Finally, with a forced smile, he said, "He's okay. Don't worry about him!"

She sensed that Zed was keeping something from her. She turned to face him and said sternly, "Don't keep things from me. I want to know the truth."

"All right!" Zed groaned and gave in. "The truth is, Calvin is in bad shape. He just wanted to be alone after what happened. He locked himself up and didn't want to see anyone. He even refused to see Ron and Maranda when they came to visit him."

"How long has this been going on?" Jean was surprised with what she heard.

"It has been going on for five days." Zed smiled bitterly.
