Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 37

Jean dazed for a moment before leaving the room. She felt as though she was being discarded after having been taken advantage of. Jean felt depressed watching the door slowly close behind her.

'I am, after all, not the protagonist tonight.'

Jean whispered to herself. She then left the hotel and went for a walk along the beach alone.

Not long after, Zed arrived at the hotel. Before ringing the doorbell, he fixed his collar and checked his pockets for the gift he had prepared. After confirming the box of the gift, Zed was ready to ring the bell.

Ding Dong--

Eva who had been waiting by the door, hurried to open it the moment she heard the bell.

"Zed, you are here. Come on in."

Eva excitedly pulled Zed's hand and invited him inside the room, closing the door behind them.

Zed was surprised to see Eva. He scanned the room to look for Jean. He was beginning to feel angry, and he wanted to ask Jean why she hadn't told him Eva would be here.

His search was in vain, Jean was no where to be found.

Eva realized Zed knew something was up, so she quickly explained "Isn't there a gemini meteor shower tonight? I heard it was once in a century, so I invited Jean..."

"Where is Jean?" Zed asked before letting Eva finish.

"She went out to get other friends. She will come back soon."

Eva made up an excuse in hurry.

Zed didn't say anything but cursed in his head, 'Damn girl. I'll teach you a lesson once you come back.'

"Zed, let's have a seat at the balcony, shall we?" Eva asked.

Zed walked to the balcony. He felt better after seeing all the blue balloons on the floor. A sweet fragrance, which came from the bottle on the table, caught his attention. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was his favorite brand of whisky.

"Are you the one who decorated the room?"

Eva was taken by surprise but quickly replied "Yes. I remember your favorite color is blue, so I prepared these balloons for you. You are always busy with your work, I hope the sight of them will help you relax a little."

She could tell he liked them and so she proceeded to pour him a drink and sat beside him.

The ocean breeze grazed them gently. Eva's eyes would wonder over to Zed from time to time.

"Zed, do you still remember this place? Our first date was here. I am so happy to be here with you again but..."

Eva explained with a hint of grief in her tone. She was trying to get Zed to reminisce about their time together.

"It's all in the past. Let's not bring it up." Zed frowned at Eva. He swirled his drink and took a small sip.

"Even though it's all in the past, my heart still lingers. In my eyes, you are still the same but the woman beside you is no longer me. Zed, I still love you. Can't you see that?"

Eva was getting emotional, so she couldn't help but hold onto Zed's arm. The romantic set up was a good opportunity for her to confess her feelings to him.

"Things ended between us long ago. Why are you so persistent?" Zed raised his hand and shook her grip off violently.

"What's wrong with me being persistent? Is it wrong for me to love you? ..."

With her head down, Eva began to cry as if she had been mistreated.

Seeing Eva cry, Zed was lost. He wanted to comfort her but his arms felt heavy as they remained rested on the table. He felt contradicted.

"Don't cry." He frowned. He grasped his own hand slightly then released it.

Eva took the chance to push herself onto Zed. She held onto him tightly and said, "This beach holds a lot of good memories. It was my fault not returning home with you. Regardless of who is by your side now, I will wait for you. I will wait until you come back to me."

Her sobering voice made Zed's frown deepen and his heart sink.

"Eva, there is nothing between us anymore." Zed replied in a deep voice.

Eva shook her head frantically, clinging to Zed tighter than before, "No. I don't want to break up. I only love you. I won't marry anyone but you. Zed, don't leave me. I won't ever leave you again, ever!"

With a stern look, Zed pushed Eva away, "That's enough. I am married now. Have some self-respect!"

No matter how fiercely Eva hugged Zed, she was no match for his strength. She let him go in the end. With tears continuously falling, she looked up at him miserably, "Everyone knows your marriage is just business. Both of you have no affection for each other. Don't use this as an excuse to get rid of me, okay?"

Eva was getting out of hand. Not wanting to argue with her anymore, Zed stood up.

Zed wondered, 'What is Jean up to? Is she being late on purpose? She should have told me that this was Eva's idea, damn it!'

Seeing Zed was ready to leave, Eva quickly got up and stood in front of him "Please don't go. Company me."

"Move." Zed demanded coldly and impatiently.

"No, I won't let you go." Eva cried while shaking her head. She bit her lip and unzipped her dress.

The strapless sundress slipped off her body, overlapping at her feet and revealing her beautiful figure.

Zed immediately turned around from the sight.

Eva stepped out of her skirt and hugged him from behind "Zed, I want to give myself to you. Please take me, okay?"

Her voice trembled and her tone humble as she begged him.

Eva was a beautiful woman with an attractive figure. As long as she wished for it, any men would fall for her. Yet, she remained obsessed with Zed, not one else but Zed.

"Eva, do you know what you are doing? Stop it!"

Zed denied her harshly.

"Of course I know. I want to give the one thing I treasure most to the man I love." The corner of her lips curled to a sweet smile. 'I have already taken the drastic measure, so there is no way Zed would deny me, right?

As long as we have sex tonight, I won't have to worry about his loving for another girl any more.' Eva thought.

"Zed, don't you want to have a look at me?" Eva asked with her seductive tone. Her hands slowly crept under his coat, reaching for his tie and gently loosened it, pacing herself to move in front of him.

With passionate gaze she stared at him and pursed her lips. She raised her brows and carefully took off his coat.

She then put her hands over the collars of Zed's shirt. Her fingers lightly traced the apple of his throat and she whispered to him "Zed, I love you..."
