Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 771

Hearing Arthur's sweet talk, Jean felt her cheeks reddening.

Jean had always been an introverted person and she thought that Arthur was also very reserved. But now, Arthur had grown much more straightforward with his feelings.

Jean pushed him away and said, "I have something to tell you. My mom is at my place."

Arthur was speechless. Due to the heavy workload, he barely had time to meet Jean during the day. Sometimes, he could take a little break from his busy schedule and ask Jean out to get lunch together. Other times, Jean would go to his company.

Staying at home with the woman he loved after work was the happiest time of the day even if they didn't do anything at all. He was content enough just to be with her. Now that Jean's mother was going to stay with her, they wouldn't have much private time together.

Arthur was a little dejected. "Why does she have to stay with you?"

Jean looked down at the floor. "She had a fight with my dad and had nowhere to go."

Arthur sensed something and asked, "How come? Is it because of me?"

Arthur already noticed that Jean was acting weird when she told him that she would come to find him today. Jean would never take the initiative to ask him out. There must be something that happened that made her act this way.

Arthur planned to ask her about that when he got off work. But now, she simply gave herself away.

"Not you. It's me." Jean didn't think Arthur had anything to do with her parents' fight. She knew that her father would only be happy if she got married to Mario.

Arthur drew her into his arms and forced her to look up at him.

"Your dad doesn't like me? Did I do something that annoyed him?" Arthur asked, looking serious. If there was anything her dad didn't like about him, he would definitely correct it.

Jean shook her head in self-mockery. "I said it has nothing to do with you. My dad just doesn't like me disobeying him, that's all."

Arthur understood what she was saying. Her father wanted her to be with Mario.

But how was marriage going to work without love and chemistry? Jean didn't even like Mario. Why did her father want to force her into marrying him? Even if they got married, they wouldn't be happy. Then, what was the meaning of it all?

He didn't know what her father was thinking. Arthur thought.

Arthur would have no objection to her father's opinion if Mario was really the right person.

But Arthur believed that he was better than Mario in every aspect. Why couldn't her father see that? At least Arthur was wealthy enough to give Jean a carefree life.

Didn't every parent want that for their daughter?

Arthur hugged Jean and apologized, "I'm sorry..."

"No biggie. My dad and I aren't that close anyway," Jean said calmly.

"I've listened to him when I chose my major. But this time, it's different. Marriage should be my own decision."

Arthur knew what happened back when she was deciding on her major. He also heard that her relationship with her father had been getting better in the last year or two. Now, however, he didn't expect that Jean and her father were on such bad terms again.

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Arthur pondered.

"No," Jean refused. "It's no use reasoning with him. He's a stubborn old bull. Just let him be."
