Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 642

"Welcome home, brother!"

The words Hanley uttered were still the same as Moore arrived into the Bai family's house.

But for some reason, the tone and the implication were much more hostile than ever before.

"I have already told you, Hanley. Things don't go too well for people who hide under masks and their true forms are latent. It's not only you who welcomes me in this house, but everyone else as well. Now, I can clearly see that you are surprised. But is it a good surprise, or a bad one? I really can't tell..."

Moore whispered in Hanley's ears, clearly indicating that he was aware of the hostility that still lay there.

In response, Hanley could be seen gnashing his teeth. "Moore, I won't deny that you are extremely brave for being gutsy enough to challenge me. But remember, you've broken your promise to me and you are going to pay for this. You may be brave, but stupid is what I call you!"

Hanley's threat would have scared anyone but Moore seemed at ease. He stepped back a little and looked at him with a smile as he calmly replied, "I am looking forward to it. I can't wait!"

"How dare you make fun of me!" Hailey's face had gotten a very crimson shade of red now and he was unable to respond due to his anger.

Moore simply patted him on the shoulder and turned around with a big smile on his face. Clearly, his happiness was totally unconnected to Hanley's.

Catching a look of Moore, Zed, Jean, and Avery rushed towards him with a concerned look on their faces.

They hadn't expected that Moore would accept Gary to be his father at the party. And for some time, Jean and Avery were even afraid that he had done so under Gary's threat.

However, Moore shook his head slightly and gave them a big smile, as he gestured slightly towards Zed, who immediately got his hint. He stopped Jean and Avery midway who were rushing towards Moore really fast.

"I think whatever Moore did tonight was by his own will, so we don't need to worry!" Zed told the two of them.

"How is that possible?" They were confused. "We all know how much Moore hates the Bai family," Jean immediately asked.

"The way I see it, he had erected a wall or a shell around him after the incident that happened to him during his childhood. It was just a child's way of protecting himself from a bad memory. Today, it looks like he found a different story of his past; one that broke the wall or the shell, entering into his mind,"

Zed sighed.

"Are you discussing the possibility that Gary might not have abandoned Moore?"

Jean asked in surprise.

"That's not entirely impossible..." Avery was the one who answered the question when she saw the smile on Moore's face. Nodding towards him, she continued, "Look, Moore wouldn't have done anything against his will. And there's no way that he would smile when he doesn't feel like it. I am sure of it. I think Zed's right about this."

"All right then, ladies. We really should stop guessing into the air. I am sure Moore will tell us all about it later on," Zed said and broke up the huddle.

On the other side of the room, Moore was busy dealing with his newly found families.

Everyone was there to welcome him and congratulate him for coming back home, and they pushed Hanley completely out of the picture as they surrounded Moore.

Jean was about to laugh at Hanley's embarrassment when a sudden thought came into her mind and her smile froze. 'Hanley has already bared his claws and failed to make any den. But Edna hasn't.' She started to look for Edna.

Surprisingly, Edna wasn't showing any dangerous signs and was acting completely normal. Standing right next to Gary with a big smile, she seemed unaffected by Moore's return and was chatting casually with the people around her.

Jean sighed. Edna was scarier than she expected. She had no idea how Moore was going to deal with this family in the future, but she knew that it wasn't going to be easy.

The party was getting noisy, but Jean, Zed and Avery were not interested in the celebrations.

It took a while for the crowd to drift off. Moore finally got free of the crowd around him and said something to Gary

who nodded and said something back. Then, Moore nodded in response too and walked towards his friends.

Zed and Jean smiled and waited for him to come over but

Avery hurried towards him first.

"Moore!" Avery called out his name.
