Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 627

A bitter smile appeared on Zed's face. He raised his eyes to look up at Jean.

She was frowning and staring angrily at Zed, still very annoyed with him. But Zed could tell that she was feeling heartache for him.

He felt his heart soften and he reached out to touch her face tenderly. "You... What am I going to do with you?" he said with a sigh.

Seeing the change in him brought a smile to her lovely face. "I know that you can't stay angry with me. But I still feel wronged by you when you get angry and accuse me of something that I am not guilty of."

"I wronged you?" Zed felt anger brewing in the pit of his stomach again. "So, did I misunderstand the reason why you didn't tell him that you were already taken?" he asked cynically.

"Tell him what? That I am your wife?" Jean deliberately answered him with a question.

"It seems that you are particularly unwilling for it to be known that you are a married woman!" Zed said provoking her further.

"That's not true! Of course I am willing to tell everyone that I am married. You have no idea how honored I am to be your wife!" She soothed as she tried to embrace Zed because he was acting like a spoiled child.

"Huh! I don't think so," he snorted as he rejected her embrace. "Then why didn't you tell your classmate this afternoon? Is your classmate from outer space? Why is it that he still doesn't know that you are my wife?"

Zed eyed Jean suspiciously as he shot more accusing questions at her.

"Of course he isn't from outer space. He just came back from Canada, so it's understandable that he has no idea that I am married," she explained. "I promise to tell him the next time that I see him," she said pleading with Zed. "Is that all right?" Jean asked trying to reassure him.

Zed thought for a moment about what she had said and relaxed a little.

He pulled her gently to him and held her in his arms. "Jean, I'm not that petty-minded. I wouldn't be jealous without a reason. You have no idea how anxious I become when I think of all the men that are around you," Zed spoke in a soft voice next to her ear.

"I think that you don't have much confidence," Jean said and pulled away slightly to look at him.

"I do have confidence in myself, OK?" he said cutting her off. "But I don't like seeing other men flirting and hitting on you. They are all so excellent. I am just afraid of..."

Jean saw the pain in Zed's eyes and couldn't let him finish.

She cut in to ask, "Afraid of what? Were you going to say you are afraid that I might leave you for someone else?" Jean laughed amused by his sentiment.

"How dare you?" Zed was hurt by her reaction; he held her at arm's length. "Jean, if you ever dare run off with some other man. I will find you and bring you back no matter what the cost!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Why would you have to find me and bring me back if there was such a day?" Jean wondered what he meant by that. "Zed, I suddenly realize that you are actually a very imperious man! If I were to run off with somebody else one day, it would only be because something is seriously wrong with our relationship. But why would you insist on finding me and bringing me back?"

"That is my way! I would never allow anyone to take you away from me. I would rather ruin you than see you go away with another man,"

Zed said defiantly.

Jean trembled with fear at his words. She felt a tinge of repugnance in the bottom of her heart.
