Jean sat on the bed with a hard look on her face. "We don't need so much money, Zed. Besides, you have earned enough money for our family." She then placed a hand on her belly, making sure that Zed understood that it wasn't just for the both of them.
Zed noticed and gave her a bitter smile before replying. "Jean, if I don't go to the company to work and just stay at home with you all day long, will you be happy about that? Do you really want me to do that? I guess not, so let's just move on from this topic, okay?"
Jean fell silent. She found herself lost into thought after hearing what Zed had said. After a short while, she looked at Zed and said with a smile, "Zed, don't get me wrong. I'm not against you working. I just don't want you to be so exhausted. Do you understand? I hope that you can have more time to rest. Don't be so engrossed with work all day long that you don't even have time to rest nowadays."
After dressing up neatly, Zed then walked up to Jean and sighed. "I understand, honey. I will try to spare as much time as possible to rest and to accompany you in the future. I promise. Plus, the company is now on the right track. Everyone is doing their jobs well, so I don't have to do many things myself.
Moreover, if I have enough time to spend in doing my job well these days, then for sure, I'll have time to accompany you to the Imperial Capital."
Knowing that Zed was so considerate, Jean smiled with relief. She shrugged this topic away and placed her arms around Zed's neck. "Take me to the bathroom to wash up, please."
"No problem." Zed petted Jean's nose before striding into the bathroom while carrying her in his arms.
As they reached the bathroom, Zed slowly put her down and gently squeezed the toothpaste for her before going out.
Hearing the slight noise coming from the bathroom, a happy smile appeared on Zed's face.
He actually felt moved a lot when Jean told him not to work so hard this morning.
It even made him feel a little bit surprised knowing that Jean cared more about him than earning money.
A lot of women nowadays would want the men to work as hard as possible and earn more money, so that they could spend a lot of money buying expensive cosmetics, beautiful dresses, and other luxuries.
However, Jean was different from those superficial women. She knew that it was never easy to earn money.
She?had never struck Zed as the extravagant type, ever since they got married. Moreover, she didn't go shopping frequently even though she enjoyed shopping. She had the right ideas about money management.
At first, Zed was surprised at his thought, but a while later, he understood why Jean was not like most women.
A woman, who loved her husband dearly, would not be extravagant and spend her husband's money freely and carelessly.
It must also have something to do with the environment in which Jean grew up. She was used to saving money and that she wasn't in the position to have a lot of disposable money for her own wants.
Now that they had gotten married, Zed was not sure whether her habit was good or not.
As her legitimate husband, Zed had given her a Black Card, and he hoped that she could spend more money with it for her desires and satisfaction.
Of course, the premise was that she would enjoy spending his money, but it seemed that Jean was not be willing to do so.
Zed sighed at the thought and was interrupted when he saw Jean limp out of the bathroom. He moved towards her and helped her. With his eyerbrows knitted, he said, "Why don't we go to the hospital and have that checked today? It has been two days since, and it doesn't look like your foot is recovering from the sprain at all."
Jean looked at Zed in disbelief and couldn't help but burst into fits of laughter. "Two days? Oh, come on, there's nothing to worry about. It's only been two days. Don't you know that it usually takes a longer time to recover from a sprain? So, it is still impossible for me to walk properly in a short amount of time."
"Jean..." Sighing helplessly, Zed got more worried when he heard Jean. "If that's the case, then let's cancel the plan to the Imperial Capital. I don't think it's safe for you yet to be going around, since it's still inconvenient for you to go outside now."
Jean immediately shook her head in refusal. "No way! We promised your parents that we will visit them. If we break our promise, they will be very sad."
Zed shook his head at her. "They will understand if we tell them the truth. You can't even walk properly right now!" He didn't care about the promise. He cared more about Jean's physical state at the moment. Besides, they could choose another time to go back once Jean had fully recovered.
"Zed, I'm OK. Don't worry too much about me." She paused to give him a reassuring smile. "Besides, I miss them so much, and I really don't want to upset them. There's really nothing serious with my ankle, and I have you by my side, right?"
