Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 96

Maranda looked really cute when she put her chin on her fists while she was staring at John with her misty, blinking eyes.

She was so adorable that no man could resist her charm. Her warm smile could even melt a man's heart, except for John's. "No way!" John replied coldly.

After she heard what John said, Jean just sat blank-faced and swallowed. It was as if she vaguely heard a heart-breaking voice.

John raised his eyebrows and said, "But Jean, you may have the chance to visit the film studio with our boss tomorrow."

"Me?" Jean could hardly believe what she heard. She stared at him with her eyes wide-open.

"Our boss genuinely cares about you." John gave her a mean smile and continued, "You better try and meet his expectations."

On that whole afternoon, Jean's mind was floating in the air. 'It will be my privilege to visit the film studio with boss Sonny.' Jean thought to herself.

Selena, an international super star, was said that she had accepted an exclusive interview by a Hollywood reporter.

Jean had always enjoyed watching TV series in which she starred. Jean was even almost tempted by her delicate and beautiful face.

She was not asked to go to her boss's office until the end of the day. John was right. She was not asked to attend her duty, because her boss wanted her to prepare for a two-day business trip with him next morning.

Jean could barely contain her excitement after she heard it. However, the thought of being out for two days suddenly stucked in her mind.

'Will Zed's parents get disappointed? They just came back from abroad. Will they feel upset if I have a business trip these days?' She pondered carefully.

Jean felt uneasy all her way back home. In the house, Jade was watching TV while eating some fruits in the living room. A smile beamed on her face as soon as she saw Jean got inside their house. "Welcome back, Jean! Why didn't Zed come back with you?" Didn't he pick you up?"

"Well... He was so busy with his work. So, I went home earlier." Jean looked around the living room and asked, "Where is dad? Isn't he home?"

"We were invited to attend dinners and parties as soon as we got back. I don't like crowded places. So he went to attend the dinner alone." Jade explained to her.

Jean put her handbag down and sat beside Jade. Jade handed her the tray full of fruits and said, "Have some fruit."

"Thank you, mom." Jean replied with a slight smile. Then she picked up a grape and put it inside her mouth.

"Did you enjoy your romantic night with Zed last night?" Jade asked. She looked so interested and enthusiastic to hear about it.

Jean abruptly coughed. She almost got chocked by the grape after she heard her mother-in-law's question. Jean certainly knew that it was an implication. But she thought that the question was too direct and straightforward.

"What's wrong? Zelda, give her some water!"

"Thanks mom. I am fine." Jean swallowed deeply. Then she awkwardly smiled and said, "Mom, I don't know how to answer that question."

"Ok. That's fine. I won't ask you about it anymore. You and Zed should consider having a baby. Zed's dad and I are really eager to have a grandchild. But don't mind it, Jean. That is just my sentiment."

"I don't mind at all, mom." Jean shook her head and answered. No one knew she had buried a lot of pain and miseries inside her heart.

After that, they sat together for a while. Then Jean suddenly realized that she will be on a business trip the next day. She hurriedly poured a glass of water and gave it to Jade. Feeling so nervous, Jean finally opened her mouth, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

"What is it? What happened?" Jade asked.

"I will be on a business trip tomorrow." Jean answered.

"Business trip?"

"Yes. It will be for two days." Jean clenched her fists. She felt really agitated.

After she said it, Jade somehow got shocked. But it seemed that she had understood what Jean was trying to say. Jade asked Jean, "You are afraid that Zed's dad might get angry at you, aren't you? Don't worry, I've got your back. But don't forget to establish your relationship with Zed well. He seems dispassionate and cold but..."

"Mrs. Jade, Mrs. Jean, Mr. Zed is back." After Zelda opened the door to take out the trash, she saw Zed standing by the doorway.

Zed walked into the living room. He saw his mom and Jean enjoying talking with each other. He didn't say any words and continued to walk towards the staircase.

"Mom, I'll be upstairs." Jean quickly got up and walked towards Zed. She eagerly followed him upstairs as if Zed was her savior.

After they went inside their bedroom, Zed took off his suit.
