Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 604

Avery nudged Zed and said, "Let's go to the garden." She gave Jean and Moore a glance as she waited for Zed's response.

Zed followed her gaze and landed on Jean and Moore, who were chatting happily and seemed to enjoy their conversation. He turned to Avery and nodded approvingly.

Surprised, Avery blinked twice before feeling somehow relieved at this and then turned her back, slowly walking outside.

Zed followed behind her, surprised that she wanted to talk to him in private.

'Did Avery find something out?

Because if not, she couldn't have that look on her face.

What will she say?'

Zed wondered with his eyebrows furrowed into a frown. He then shrugged these thoughts away and sighed.

When they reached the garden, both of them looked troubled. Their minds were off elsewhere for they didn't seem to notice the blossoming flowers around them, waiting to be appreciated.

Zed sensed that Avery was lost in thought, and that he should speak up first. Breaking the silence, he looked at her and asked, "What is it that you want to say, Avery?"

Avery looked back at Zed and without beating around the bush, she asked straightforwardly, "You know who dwells in Moore's heart, don't you?"

Avery was certain that Zed knew. In the span of a few days, she observed how Zed could easily gain information just by his observation skills, and the probability of it being correct were usually high.

Then again, it was up to Zed whether he would tell her or not.

As for Zed, he was quite taken aback by this sudden question. Although he already knew why Avery had asked him out to the garden to talk privately, he didn't expect that she would get to the subject as soon as this.

Even then, since he had already prepared himself for it, he wasn't too much surprised and instantly was able to regain his composure. He looked at Avery and asked her with a soft smile, "What happened? I mean, why the sudden question? Do you really want to know his past even though you just started dating him?"

"Don't get me wrong, Zed. I didn't mean to pry into his privacy and personal life. I just want to know how much that girl weighs in his heart. That way, I can judge if I really do have a chance to avert his feelings." Waving her hand in front of her, Avery hurriedly explained, afraid that Zed might misunderstand her intentions.

Zed looked at Avery, who stared back at him with an anxious look. He thought about it for a moment and then let out a deep breath before speaking again, "Avery, I know that you are a smart girl. You should know, however, that whoever Moore likes right now, you are still his girlfriend. Wasn't this what you longed for? What you worked hard for? So please, you shouldn't be wasting your time and energy on something totally deemed unnecessary for your situation."

Avery spared a moment to think about Zed's words before she replied with a bitter smile, "I know that I should be really happy and grateful to finally become Moore's girlfriend, but, Zed, the more he treats me with care, the more insecure I feel. It's like, he doesn't seem to be the Moore I knew and fell for before. Yes, he treats me well still, but I feel like he's only doing that to fulfill a responsibility, an obligation as my boyfriend, and not genuinely and wholeheartedly.

Does this make me sound ungrateful? I love him so much, but I'm worried that he might just be too nice on me after becoming a couple, because he's only doing his duties as my partner and not out of love."

Zed was stunned by how much Avery had thought this through and sighed deeply inside.

'Indeed, Avery doesn't just act impulsively. She is smart, but she is also sensitive.

It only took her less than a day to see through Moore's cover. At the very least, Moore should have done a better job and also considered Avery's feelings.

Then again, Moore was just forced to accept her, and Avery now knows that he doesn't genuinely like her. That's why she came to ask me whom Moore liked.

Still, did she find out something important?' Zed thought to himself.

He looked at Avery again and noticed that her face was now saturating with sorrow.
