Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 375 I Am Not Used To Being Here

She was after all Zed's wife and it was a truth that couldn't be denied.

"How should I give back your love?" asked Jean in a flirtatious tone, as she looked into Zed's eyes

smilingly.

Before the sound of her voice had died away, she was carried by Zed in his arms.

After a long time, Jean slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zed confusedly.

His handsome face came to her view and it looked slightly reddish. Feeling Jean's wistful eyes, Zed

bent over to give her a big kiss. In a hoarse voice, he asked,"What's up?"

Jean shook her head and draped her arms around Zed's neck, heaving a light sigh.

After that, a drowsy feeling crept over Jean and she closed her heavy eyelids.

"Aren't you tired?" asked Jean, in a faint voice.

"No, I am not tired." With strong interest, Zed stared at his wife's tired-looking face.

"Oh, I am very sleepy and I must take a rest now..." Jean enveloped?her arms around Zed's waist to

feel assured.

"Go ahead and sleep!" Zed whispered into her ear and held her tightly, warming her tiny body with his

heat. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Luckily, the sofa was big enough to accommodate them.

But it was still a sofa and by no means as comfortable as a bed.

Afraid that Jean may fall from the sofa, Zed kept holding her to protect her.

Jean quickly entered a dreamland and her soft breath put Zed at ease, bringing a genuine smile on his

face. While looking at her beautiful sleeping face, Zed felt satisfied.

Feeling lost admiring her cute face, Zed hadn't realized the time pass by. Suddenly, there was a knock

on the door which brought him back from his admiration.

Furrowing?his brows in displeasure, Zed looked at the door in shock.

'Who can it be? It is so late now!' thought Zed.

He really didn't want to leave his wife, but he was afraid that it could be something important.

Helplessly, he rose up and dropped Jean carefully on the sofa. And then he covered her with a blanket.

Walking near the table, he grabbed his clothes and put them on.

When he opened the door and noticed Jesse standing near the door, his face softened a bit.

He walked out, closed the door very quietly and asked in a low voice,"What happened?"

"Zed, are you still working?" Jesse glanced behind and immediately understood what the matter was.

"No. Jean is sleeping inside. Why are you here?" Zed didn't hide anything from Jesse.

But Jesse's heart sank at the mention of Jean. "Why is she sleeping here?" inquired Jesse, as she bit

her lips. "Won't it influence your work?" she continued, wanting to know why on earth Jean had to be

there.

"Jesse, tell me, do you need me for something? It's already very late!" Ignoring her questions, Zed

asked her directly. He seemed a little impatient now.

"I..." Seeing the displeasure on Zed's face, Jesse equivocated. "Zed, I didn't mean to tell Grandpa

Benjamin about the reason why you married Jean. You must trust me! I just didn't want Grandpa

Benjamin to lose his temper because of Jean. I wanted to help her but my words only made things

worse...."

Her voice trailed off as she explained and there was an obvious frustration on her face.

"I know," Zed said and comforted, trying to make her feel less guilty. "Anyway, it's alright. Grandpa had

to know it someday. So, it's not a big issue. The problem has passed. Jean doesn't care about it now,

okay? So you need to let it go too. Don't put the blame on yourself..."

"But, Jean seemed to have misunderstood me! She must think that I meant to embarrass her in front of

Grandpa Benjamin..." Jesse was a little hesitant to look at Zed.

"Jean..." Zed helplessly let out a sigh and said. "She is the most straightforward person I have ever

met. She has the tendency of speaking her heart out. Please don't mind her! Jesse, you have to know

that she is innocent and she didn't go against you intentionally. Don't worry, Jesse. I will explain it to her

for you."

Zed's tender words lifted Jesse's spirits and a cute smile was plastered on her face. "Thank you, Zed! I

am feeling much relieved after talking to you! It's already too late and I will not disturb you any longer.

Please do remember to explain it to Jean when she wakes up. Bye!"

After saying that, Jesse left happily.

She could almost imagine how sour Jean's face would be when Zed intercedes on her behalf.

After he watched Jesse leave, Zed helplessly shook his head and turned to walk into the study.

When he found that Jean was still sound sleep, Zed carefully carried her and headed towards their

bedroom.

On reaching their bedroom, he gently placed her on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a

shower.

Once the sound of flowing water came from the bathroom, Jean sat up and slowly opened her eyes.

There was a dreamy look on her face and she was almost lost in thoughts.

In truth, she had woken up when she heard Jesse knocking Zed's study room.

Even though she hasn't heard their conversation, she guessed the reason behind Jesse's visit.

To Jean, it seemed like what happened tonight had aroused Jesse's fear. 'She is feeling threatened, '

thought Jean.
