Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 598

'Do I know who she is?

Of course, I know who she is! It is because she is lying right next to me, ' Zed thought with a bitter smile on his face.

He stared at Jean, not knowing whether he should tell her the truth or not.

Jean was puzzled by the way Zed looked at her, so she stared at him, frowned in confusion and asked, "No way! You do know her, right? It's not been long since Moore came back to H City, and has he already told you who that girl is?"

Jean suddenly realized that what she said sounded wrong.

'Moore had been in the hospital since he came to H City, and I am pretty sure I know every friend that Moore has.

Why does Zed know that girl while I don't? It's so strange! Moore always tells me everything, ' Jean thought.

As this thought crossed Jean's mind, she became certain that Zed was hiding something from her. She looked at Zed and asked, "No, there must be something wrong! Zed, are you still hiding something from me? Tell me honestly who that girl is? I think that you know her."

Jean stared at Zed as she said that.

Zed knew Jean would never give up, so he sighed and said, "I don't know what to tell you. Jean, listen to me! Now that Moore and Avery are together, let's not talk about that girl ever again, okay?"

"Why?" asked Jean as she was puzzled.

"I don't think Moore wants us to talk about it anymore," said Zed firmly as he looked at Jean.

Jean nodded in agreement when she heard what Zed said. "Come on! I don't want to talk about it. But you keep mentioning it tonight! What's wrong with you? Or if what I'm guessing is right, then you know something about that girl Moore loves and you feel guilty whenever I mention her. And you also want to avoid answering my questions, right?"

"No, I am answering your question now." Zed felt helpless so he smiled bitterly and asked, "Why do you think that I know who that girl is? You spend so much time with Moore, don't you? You must know him better than me!"

Zed had no other choice but to answer Jean vaguely.

Jean was stunned when she heard what Zed said. Although she knew what Zed said was right, she still felt strange because of the way he answered.

"Then why did you get mad at me just now? I was talking to Maranda and you took my cell phone. Why did you do that? Are you defending that girl?" Jean snorted annoyingly.

"Defending that girl? Are you kidding me?" replied Zed as he heard Jean's words.

'What the hell are you talking about? You're that girl and I'm not stupid to give up you to Moore, ' Zed thought.

"Jean, you must have misunderstood me," Zed sighed helplessly and said. "I just didn't want you to force Moore to accept Avery. You know that you can never force anyone to accept someone who he has no feelings for. Such kind of relationship never lasts long. They both will regret if they break up one day."

"No, I don't think so!" Jean wanted to persuade Zed so she said, "I've told you many times that love can develop, and we both are the living example of that. So I think that Moore and Avery will be happy. They are a perfect match."

Zed had no idea what to say, so he sighed helplessly and looked at Jean.

'Jean, I hope everything turns out the way you said.

I sincerely hope that Moore and Avery stay happy, ' Zed thought.

"All right! Now that you are so confident about their future, I won't stop you ever again. Let's go to sleep! It's already midnight," Zed said gently as he put his arms around Jean.

"Well, yes. Let's go to sleep." Jean was still excited. She was quite satisfied with what happened today. She stared at the ceiling for a long time as she couldn't fall asleep.

But Zed was tired, so he fell asleep quickly and started snoring after a few minutes.

Jean looked at Zed's angular face which shone in the moonlight coming through the window. Jean was doubtful as she remembered Zed's words.

'Why did Zed react so immensely when I mentioned Moore and Avery? Why does he fear that Moore and Avery will not be happy?

I'm sure about one thing, that Zed doesn't know anything about that girl. I know Moore better than Zed. If Moore wants to tell someone his secret, I'll be the first one he'll come to.
