Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 641

"Know her clearly? It used to be clear, but it sure as hell isn't now," Zed said in a bitter tone as he gave out a cold chuckle.

"Zed, don't let your temper get the best of your relationship with Jean," Moore said in a hurried tone to calm him down. "We all know Jean. She won't just do that. She won't go ahead and accept anyone she doesn't like. As her husband, you have to put a little more trust in her. Do you even realize how much you are hurting Jean by saying all these words. She heard it all, Zed. "

Jean grimaced at the mention of her name. "If he truly cared about me, he wouldn't have said something like that," she said to Moore and then her eyes shifted towards Zed. "Out of all the people I know, I never expected you to be like this, Zed!" Jean said in a hurt tone. Her eyes were red from the tears as she stared at Zed angrily.

"Jean, I..." Before Zed could say something to retort, Moore cut his words off.

"You don't believe that Jean truly turned Ronald away? Zed, when the hell did you lose faith in your wife? When did you lose your confidence?"

Moore looked intently at Zed's eyes as he asked this.

"It's not that I lost my confidence. I just felt that she was pretending to refuse Ronald in front of me," Zed said, brows furrowed.

"You and Jean already fought about Ronald last night. Did she do anything wrong other than care about what you would feel? Zed, you are the last person I expected to be this childish. Why are you so goddamn petty?"

Moore said as he was stunned at Zed's words.

"Well, I..." Zed couldn't do anything but sigh remorsefully as Moore confronted him, and he then said, "I'm not petty. I just feel uncomfortable knowing that another man is admiring my wife."

"So just because you feel uncomfortable, you think it's right to vent your anger on me?" Jean, furious, stared at Zed and asked in an agitated tone. "Why would you do this? Who the hell do you think you are, Zed?"

"Jean, calm down. Zed just wasn't himself because he cared about you. You should be more patient and understanding. Don't just get angry at him."

Moore offered in a futile attempt to comfort her.

"I'm not mad at him. He doubted me, Moore. I am really upset," Jean replied.

"You clearly are angry..." Moore sighed as he shook his head.

Hearing the whole exchange, Avery approached Jean and spoke softly, "Sometimes, when a man really cares about a woman, he loses himself. Jean, please forgive Zed this time! He obviously loves you very much."

"Loves me?" Jean suddenly laughed, but her face relaxed, becoming more relieved.

Moore signaled Zed with a look, and Zed caught on, almost immediately. He walked towards Jean, and apologized, "I'm sorry, dear. I lost control. Jean, please stop being mad at me."

"The reason why I'm this upset is that you don't trust me. I turned Ronald away right in front of you. What more do you want? Do I look like an unfaithful woman to you?"

"Of course not." Zed laughed out bitterly. He knew he was wrong. "I just feel uncomfortable since a lot of guys look at you that way. You are my wife. It feels terrible seeing other men eyeing you."

"Terrible, you say? Have you even considered what I feel when you lash out on me? If I hadn't turned Ronald away in front of you today, that's the time you can doubt me and even get mad at me. That's only reasonable. But I..."

"Alright. Stop." Moore tried to ease the growing tension in the room. "There's no reason to be like this in the relationship. Bottomline, it's all because Zed was too jealous."

"I..." Zed wanted to spit out a retort, but he knew all Moore said was the truth. He stopped himself from saying anything further and sighed deeply.

'Jealous? He's jealous?'

Jean's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to say something to ease Zed's jealousy, but shut her mouth instead.

She didn't want to forgive Zed that easily.

Seeing the couple calm down and the tension at the table start to ease, Avery felt relieved and turned to Moore. "What took you so long upstairs?"

"I had a good talk there," Moore said to comfort her. He looked at her worried expression. "I'm fine, don't worry."
