Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 5 She Was Expecting A Boyfriend

"What?" Jean couldn't believe what Zed had just said. She was completely stunned.

'He... he is not going to divorce me?'

"You... you can't take back your word so easily! You agreed to the divorce. Besides, you..." Jean spoke in broken sentences. Zed's reply had been so unexpected that Jean's mind was a chaotic mess. Anxiety flooded her and Jean found that she couldn't arrange her thoughts clearly.

In response to her anxious tone, Zed smiled wickedly as he replied, "I should be responsible for you."

Frustrated, Jean threw her hands up in the air. She waved them around as she spoke, "No, you don't have to. I can take care of myself!"

"But I'm not okay with this." In the meanwhile, Zed powered on his computer and clicked on the real-time monitor in his house. Then he selected on the view of the living room. He frowned when he saw Jean pacing in front of the couch. She was biting her fingernails and looked worried.

"As a matter of fact, I am very open-minded. As for you, I don't think you are a fogyish nerd, are you? Society is not as conservative anymore. Nowadays, it's common for people to make love consensually without considering formalities such as marriage. So, Zed, let's just complete the divorce procedure. Then neither of us will be detained. That's the perfect win-win situation."

'Detained?'

Zed frowned. Her unthoughtful choice of words and the way that she described their arrangement ignited a fury inside Zed. Although he tried to control his emotions when he spoke, traces of anger could be sensed, "Unfortunately, I am a fogyish guy for real, Mrs. Qi. Please prepare supper. I will be back soon."

Bibibi...

The sound of the call disconnecting left Jean confused. She looked at the phone in her hand.

'What the hell are you planning, Zed? Are you still joking about the divorce?' Furious and helpless, Jean needed to vent her anger. She grabbed the nearest couch cushion and repeatedly hit the wall with it.

'Wait, I should calm down and think it over carefully. What on earth is this jerk trying to do? Is he thinking I got the land too easily, and so he will try every means to get even?' Jean continued pacing in the living room as she muttered to herself.
