Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 629

"Don't be upset, Jean. We're still in the same city. We'll still be able to see each other," Moore said in an attempt to comfort the unhappy Jean.

"Fine. I have more free time on my hands than you anyway. I guess I'll use that time to check up on you then." Jean had finally accepted the fact that Moore was going to move out of the Qi Mansion no matter what they said. She nodded, giving up.

"That's settled then." Moore took a quick glance at Jean, but quickly averted his gaze. He wanted to say a lot of things to her but for obvious reasons, could't.

'I'm sorry, Jean. I have to leave this place.

If I don't, I'm scared to death that you'll see through me, that someday, you'll start to notice my feelings for you.

I can't even begin to imagine how you'll react once you find out I've been in love with you since the start.

I don't want to hurt you, nor do I want to put you in that situation.

That's why I've decided that if my leaving will ensure your happiness in the future, I'd gladly do it.

I just hope that without me, you and Zed will be happy forever!' Moore bitterly thought.

Zed was relieved that Jean didn't show any further resistance to Moore moving out, and that she didn't blame Zed at all. "So, now that you're moving out, what are your plans?" he shot Moore with a look of concern.

"Well, I did major in Business administration." Moore turned to Zed and smiled. "So, I'll probably find a job in a related field."

"Well, how about that? You can come to my company!" Zed invited him earnestly. "You don't even have to worry about anything. If you could come and help me with things at the company, I would have more time with Jean in the days to come. Since her belly is growing day by day, she'll need me to be there for her. So it'll really give me some peace of mind if you would be there to help me."

"That's right!" Jean nodded in agreement, a bit too excited. Her eyes visibly brightened and she said, "If you join Zed's company, it will not only help him, but you'll help me as well!"

"But..." Moore's face was red with embarrassment. He felt trapped. He was trying to slowly fade away from Zed and Jean's life.

But if he joined Zed's company, it would undo his efforts in leaving the Qi family.

"Please don't argue anymore. It's already settled!" Jean said, cutting off any potential protest from Moore. "I don't care why you want to move out, Moore. I promise. But there will be no further discussion about you joining Zed's company," she said, as if he had no say in the matter.

She looked at Moore intently and continued with a firm tone, "However, if you don't see Zed and I as your friends, then just forget it."

"Alright, fine. I promise I'll join Zed's company." Moore saw that he had no choice but to accept. With a heavy heart, he sighed and just nodded his head in response.

When Moore finally agreed, Jean gifted him with a big fat smile. "In that case, I forgive you for moving out so suddenly. After all, you made this decision so you and Avery can have more privacy together. Avery will be staying in H City and will continue to grow. It's only right that you two have your own home. But Moore..."

Jean broke off with a heavy expression forming on her tender face.

"What?" Moore looked at her and asked.

"Are you really sure you want to go back to Harkin Garden? After all it's one of the Bai family's properties. I believe that if you don't want anything to do with them anymore, you shouldn't go back there," Jean looked at Moore and asked, brows creased in concern.

"Don't worry, Jean. I have promised Hanley that I would attend the party of the Bai family this weekend. Let's see what happens then. If I leave the Bai family for good, I'll just find another house,"

Moore answered after a moment of silence.
