Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 163

John abruptly stopped and looked at the person that was walking towards him.

"Jean..." When he got no response from Jean, Ethan shouted her name again.

Jean was leaving when she noticed that someone was calling her name. She quickly turned her head without thinking further.

When she found out that it was Ethan who called her, the corner of her mouth twitched a bit and looked very surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"It wasn't easy to find you!" Ethan walked towards Jean and looked at her from head to toe. He wrapped her in his arms, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You scared the hell out of me! I thought I won't see you again..."

"What are you talking about?" Jean struggled when Ethan tightly held her. She could not get free from her arms, so she angrily shouted, "Ethan, let me go!"

However, Ethan was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear what Jean said. Even if he did, he wouldn't let her go easily, though.

He had been dreaming about that hug for a very long time.

"She asked you to let her go." When he noticed what was going on there, John put a horrifying look on his face and demanded in a gloomy tone.

Ethan loosened his tight embrace on Jean when he felt that danger was coming. Then he slowly turned around and found out that John was standing right behind him.

"John, I suggest that you stay out of this. Or..." Ethan put a nasty look on his face and said, "You know my connection to Sonny, right? Just with my word, I could get you fired from his company!"

John was not intimidated by Ethan and apathetically replied, "Yeah? I dare you to try!"

Jean was terrified by Ethan's reaction. When he finally let her go, she quickly took a few steps backward.

When she realized that Ethan was threatening John, she got furious and yelled, "Ethan, are you insane? What had John done to you that made you threaten him like that?"

Ethan felt so shocked that time. He looked at Jean unbelievably and asked her, "I can't believe that you are taking that man's side!"

"I am not taking anyone's side." Jean said in anger. Then, she continued, "Look what you've just done to me. We agreed that we would just be friends, right? Did you forget about that? Don't challenge me, Ethan. Or else, I won't even treat you as my friend anymore."

"Jean, I care for you, and I love you. But you never even noticed and appreciated it. I tried everything just to find the place you were shooting at, and rushed without any hesitations when I finally found you. You have no idea how worried I was when I heard from the security that one of you fainted.

When I saw you standing right in front of me safe and sound, you didn't know how happy and excited I was. I was just giving you a hug because I was happy to finally see you. More than that, I was just trying to calm myself down. Did I do anything wrong? Is it wrong to hug you like a friend? Do you really have a conscience, Jean Wen?

If you still think that I was wrong, then fine. I will apologize. I will apologize to you and to him. And accept that it was all my fault. I should've not done that. It is I who don't have the rights to care for you, or even hug you. My apologies. I will leave now, and I won't bother you anymore."

Ethan got really emotional. After he finished his words, he bowed down to Jean and John. Then, with tears falling from his eyes, he turned around and left.

Jean was stunned that moment. She never expected that Ethan would be so worried about her, and would do a lot for her after that call.

Moreover, he had just given her that strange hug because he was so concerned about her.

It was just normal for friends to hug each other, but she misunderstood him.

"Ethan..." Jean tried to call Ethan, but he kept on walking forward without turning his head. After few tries, she got impatient and thoughtlessly followed him.

"Jean, don't!" John, who looked at her with a mix of subtle emotions, grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"Let go of me, John!" Jean felt anxious and said, "I misunderstood him, so I should explain to him."

"Don't go, trust me." John shook his head with his face full of resolution.

"John, what are you worried about?" Jean, who was so confused, looked at John, burst into laughter and said, "I will be fine. I know Ethan. I will be back in a minute. I promise you!"

After she finished her words, Jean threw John's hand and immediately chased Ethan.
