Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 416 I Appreciate You

"What a magnificent villa!" Moore took a gigantic bouquet of beautiful lilies from the car and looked at

Jean. After that, he said in a soft voice,"This is for you."

"Thank you," Jean replied looking surprised. When she noticed that Moore had gone home to take a

bath and get changed, her smile intensified. "Are you fine about coming to my home? Please don't be

nervous. Just make yourself at home. Come in. Take a seat. Zed will be here soon."

"All right." A smile appeared on Moore's face. He followed Jean's guide inside the house.

Moore looked at the expensive decoration and nice design along the road. He couldn't help nodding his

head and said,"It seems that you've put a lot of thought into the decoration of your home."

Jean laughed and replied quickly,"Zed gets the credit for decoration. All I did is move in."

Moore looked away and admired those beautiful furnitures. He glanced at Jean and saw a happy smile

etched on her face. He laughed and said,"It looks like that you've untangled all your knots and there is

no misunderstanding between the two of you."

"Speaking of this, I should thank you for reasoning out with Zed," said Jean and gave out a small sigh.

"Only two of us live in this big house. To be completely honest, it is lonely and empty. Jesse has lived

here for several days before. She is quite annoying, but after she left, the house has turned to look

gloomy. Moore, do you think I'm insane?"

"How should I put it?" Moore sighed and the added,"I can only say that you're too nice. You forget how

other people hurt you and only remember the good side in them. Jean, this quality is quite rare."

Hearing his response, Jean laughed a little. "You flatter me. Other people have mildly implied that I am

both nice and silly. But you put it in a more direct and flattering way."

"How could it be?" Moore hastily shook his head. "Maybe some people don't appreciate you. But, we

don't need to care about other people's words. As long as you live happily, that's enough. You need to

know there are people out there who truly appreciate your kindness,"

Moore replied trying to comfort her.

Jean's mood lifted as she heard his words. She laughed and joked,"Haha! I know, I know. You're the

one who appreciates me."

Instead of contradicting her, Moore smiled and agreed. "Of course. Not only do I appreciate you, but

also I adore you."

"Come on! You're talking nonsense! If I let you keep talking, we will miss the dinner. It's almost time for

dinner. I'll go cook and please sit in the living room for a moment." Jean hastily changed the topic

feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Moore quickly asked,"Do you need any help?"

"No." Jean shook her head being appalled by the idea of making him work. "I only have to make dinner

for three of us, so I can easily cook several simple dishes. I don't think I can cook something special.

So I'm not sure whether you will feel full tonight."

"What are you talking about?" Moore glared at Jean. "I'll go to the kitchen with you. Don't worry. I'll just

stand aside and watch you cook."

Jean had wanted to decline, but she thought that it would be impolite to leave Moore alone in the living

room.

So she had to nod her head and agree. "Fine. Then come with me. Only if you agree that you won't

help me and you shall not complain if I make a mistake."

Moore quickly shook his head and agreed to her rules. "I won't do that," he promised.

Getting a promise, Jean was relieved and took Moore to the kitchen.

Moore saw that Jean skillfully started to start the fire, pour oil and cook dishes. Her action was

obviously smooth and skillful. In short, it was not as bad as she had said.

A smile appeared on Moore's face, but it quickly faded. He sighed and said,"Jean, I've met a guy in the

hospital today."

"Who is it?" She asked, not moving her eyes away from her work.

Moore simply replied in one word,"He."

Jean stopped mixing up dishes at once and looked at Moore with concern.

"I'm okay." Moore knew she was worried about him, so he hastily explained,"Although I haven't met him

in person for so many years, I do often see him on TV. So when I saw him in the hospital, I was quite

calm."

"Quite calm? Then why are you in a hurry to get out of the hospital?" Jean was discontent after

listening to his words. "I've called your doctor and he told me that you were supposed to leave the

hospital three days later."

Moore hadn't expected that Jean would call his attending physician, so he fell into an awkward silence.

After thinking for a while, Moore went on to explain in a low voice. "I didn't expect that he would come This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

to see me, so I wasn't prepared at all..."

"You don't need to explain this to me." Jean turned around and looked at Moore with a serious face.

"We're friends. Since you don't like to see him, you can just ignore him. Moore, if you don't want to live

in his house, you can just move here and live with us..."

"Well..." Moore was going to say no, but he suddenly heard a low voice outside the kitchen.

"Who will move here and live with us?"

As these words were spoken, Zed's handsome face appeared in the kitchen.

Jean saw it was Zed coming back, so she laughed and said,"Zed, you're back! I just invited Moore to

move here to live with us."

As Jean said so, Zed's smile became rather forced at once.

He first looked at Jean and then his eyes turned to Moore. "Hello, Moore, welcome to our home."

Moore also laughed and replied,"Thank you both for having me here."

Jean had a weird feeling going on in her heart after she noticed that Zed totally ignored her.

She said to Moore,"Moore, please have a seat in the living room. The dinner will be ready in a minute."

Feeling that Jean obviously didn't want him to be here, Moore quickly nodded his head and walked out

of the kitchen.

Zed was about to leave, but Jean asked him to stay.

"Zed, come here and help me."

Hearing her call, Zed had to stop walking back with Moore. He apologized and said,"Then you shall go

to the living room first. I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay," Moore replied hearing this and nodded his head. After giving one last glance at Jean, he

sighed in his heart and walked to the living room.

He knew what Jean wanted to say to Zed, but he really didn't want to live here.

Living in Harkin Garden did increase the chance to meet that guy, but this was his problem and he

didn't want to get other people sucked into this mess.

"Why do you want me to stay here with you?" Zed walked in front of Jean and looked unhappy. He then

continued,"If you want me to allow Moore to live in our home, then please don't say anything to me."

"Zed, you know Moore's family background. You are aware of the trouble he is in. As long as he is in H

City... No, as long as he is in this country, Gary will find him soon..."
