Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 144

Ethan hurriedly raised both of his hands and seriously swore to Jean.

From his voice, Jean noticed that Ethan had finally realized that it was impossible for them to be lovers again. She finally felt relieved and wore more gentle facial expression. Then, she nodded and replied in a soft voice, "Yeah, sure. We can still be friends."

Though she accepted Ethan's plea, Jean clearly knew that most lovers couldn't treat each other comfortably after they broke up. Jean couldn't offer more to him but friendship.

That moment, she had no choice but to try to appease Ethan temporarily. After all, they would slowly become strangers again.

She was very clear that Ethan would absolutely estrange her first as long as he wouldn't do anything to try to win her heart again.

Jean had been hurt by that ruthless and merciless man.

After he heard Jean's reply, Ethan suddenly smiled and happily said, "Jean, I didn't expect that you would still forgive me. Thank you, Jean. I will love you as what I did before even if we can't be together anymore."

No. He would surely treat her better than before.

He didn't know how important Jean was for him until she had become another man's woman.

'Just forget it!' Jean thought to herself.

When she heard Ethan's confession, Jean turned him down politely. "Ethan, just get over me."

After she finished speaking, Jean restarted the engine of her car and hurriedly drove forward.

'She better send Ethan back as soon as possible.

Wasn't Jean aware of what Ethan was thinking and planning?'

Ethan was very excited all their way back to his house. He was just talking about his wonderful moments with Jean.

Jean could not bear to hear what he was talking about. Yet, she was still trying hard to show a smile on her face.

Finally, they arrived at Ethan's place. Ethan immediately got out of the car.

Jean felt much more relieved at the moment. As she thought about being away from that man and going back home, her mouth gracefully curved and a smile eventually rested on her face. Then, she immediately drove towards Zed's villa.

Jean hurriedly walked towards the door after she parked the car.

When she was about to step into the living room, she heard low-pitched voice that said, "Why did you come back so late?"

Jean immediately looked up after she heard the voice. Then, she found that Zed was idly pressing the remote control while sitting on the sofa.

Zed had just taken a bath. His hair was damply clinging on his head and was still not dry yet. Zed looked so handsome and charming with his straight and smooth hair that time.

'He is very charming!'

While he was fantasizing about Zed, Jean's face flushed. After a while, she hurriedly gave the hen to Zelda. She didn't walk towards the living room until she took a deep breath.

"Why aren't you resting inside your room?" Jean sat beside Zed. She randomly picked up an apple and started peeling it.

"I can't sleep. I have gotten enough sleep." Zed raised his eyes and turned his face to Jean. Then, he said, "You still haven't replied. What took you so long to buy the hen?"

Jean paused for a while. After a few seconds, she smiled and immediately said, "I went to a big market. It took me some time to choose the biggest and fattest hen."

Jean originally planned to bring out the truth to Zed and tell him that she happened to meet Ethan in the market.

However, since nothing bad happened, she changed her mind. She didn't want Zed to worry about her.

Besides, she had thought about the time when Zed treated her coldly because of her relationship with Ethan.

"Next time, just ask Zelda to buy it! Oh! I nearly forgot about it. Sonny called me just now and asked me why you didn't go to work."

"Oh, my gosh! I forgot to call my boss to ask for a leave."

Just before Zed could finish his words, Jean abruptly yelled. She felt really shocked that she accidentally cut the back of her hand with fruit knife. A trail of blood slowly dripped over her hand soon after.

"Ouch!" Jean exclaimed while she flushed in embarrassment.

Zed noticed her astonishment. He couldn't help but ghastly wink when he saw the trail of blood on the back of Jean's hand. That moment, he was full of guilt and regret.

How could he forget that Jean was always careless?

Why did he tell her about that while she was peeling the apple? He was to be blamed for Jean's injury.

"Don't worry about it. I already asked Sonny for your leave." After he finished speaking, Zed turned around to get the first aid kit. "Can't you see? You're already an adult. Can you be a little more careful and serious? You are so careless! You even hurt yourself from peeling an apple."

While treating and cleaning her wound, Zed reprimanded her.

"Okay. I will be more careful next time." Jean hurriedly replied to Zed.

"Be more careful next time? I know that you won't remember it. Just wait and see. I will punish you if you get hurt again because of your own carelessness." If he wouldn't speak to her sternly and ruthlessly, that young woman would never learn her lessons. She should learn to take good care of herself.

"Okay. I got it." Jean raised her head and looked at Zed. "This is just a small wound. Don't be angry, honey. Okay?" Jean said to him seductively.

Zed snorted. His anger didn't go away until he saw Jean's wound already covered with bandages. "You must not touch the water until your wound is completely healed, " Zed reminded her.

'How can that be possible?'

After she heard what Zed said, Jean didn't know if she would laugh or cry while she was staring at her hand. 'Why did Zed bother himself so much on this minor wound?

It's just even on the surface of my skin.'

Jean murmured to herself, but she didn't dare to let Zed hear her words.

She clearly knew Zed - he was very mean.

So, she tried her best not to annoy him.

"Alright! I will do whatever you tell me to do." Jean took Zed's hands to please him and cutely wagged.

It was not until that moment that Zed finally calmed himself down. He intuitively held her hand and went upstairs.

"You have to take a good rest now. You were not able to sleep well last night." While he was speaking to Jean, Zed pushed the door of their bedroom open.

Zed had thought that he should let Jean have a good rest that time since they came back from the hospital.

He was still not very conscious last night. But he noticed that Jean's eyes were red when he woke up. That only meant that Jean wasn't able to sleep well because she had been looking after him.

This was also the reason why Zed insisted that he wouldn't stay in the hospital.

Jean could comfortably sleep on their bed if they would just go home.

Jean quickly nodded. She really felt exhausted after she busily looked after Zed that night. After she saw their big and familiar bed, Jean suddenly realized how much she missed it.

Jean threw herself on the bed, heaved a sigh of relief and slowly closed her eyes.

Even when she felt that someone was lying beside her, she still kept her eyes closed. Then, a smile gradually crept on her face.

"Don't be cranky. Just have a good sleep." When she heard Zed's voice, Jean quickly fell asleep. It was as if Zed's voice was magical.

Zed suddenly got up when she saw that Jean was already sleeping.

"What's wrong?" Jean opened her dozy eyes and asked when she noticed that Zed abruptly got up.

"Nothing. Just go back to sleep." Zed's voice sounded a bit weird and depressed. After a while, he stood up and walked towards the window.

Damn it. He felt exhausted, yet he still felt that Jean was so alluring. He felt a great urge to make out with her when she lay beside him.

"It's okay with me if you want to touch me." Jean was not a fool. She discerned why Zed couldn't sleep that time. She stood behind him and affectionately caressed his waist with both of her hands.

That moment, she submissively pressed her cheek against Zed's back. Her heart was beating faster and faster.
