Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 164

Jean, who felt terribly regretful about the decision she had made, was about to cry that time.

She should've not cared if Ethan got angry or misunderstood her.

She should've not gone with him.

Ethan was madly speeding the car like a crazy man.

He could even lose his own life because of what he was doing!

When Jean was about to throw her dinner up, Ethan finally stopped the car.

Then Jean hurriedly got out of the car, leaned on it and started to vomit with a sour face.

Seeing her miserable face, Ethan felt deeply concerned about her. Yet, he just silently walked past her and put different kinds of expression on his face. Finally, he made up his mind and strode forward.

After she vomited, Jean felt so much better. When she raised her head, face pale, Jean saw Ethan walking into a pub.

Jean couldn't decide whether she would follow him or not, because the pub seemed to look chaotic and unsafe.

Should she follow him?

If she wouln't, where would she go?

Ethan wanted to have a drink because he was feeling bad about what had happened.

Jean was obviously the reason why Ethan was in such a bad mood.

Jean pressed her lips, deeply sighed and followed him with heavy steps.

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere inside the pub was not that bad. The low music inside was perfectly combined with the warm lighting.

Jean calmed herself down before she tried to find Ethan. After a while, she found him sitting alone at the bar counter while drinking his wine.

When she finally found him, Jean's heartbeat seemed to slow down. She hurriedly walked towards him and snatched his glass which he had just refilled. "Do you want to die?" Jean angrily shouted to him.

"You unreasonably blamed, scolded and hated me the whole night. What else would you do to me now? Jean, what have I done wrong for you to treat me like that?" Ethan raised his head and showed his face that was full of sorrow. He looked at Jean and sadly said, "I am just drinking wine. Does this also bother you?"

"No. It's not like that." Jean sighed, sat beside Ethan and said, "I'm very sorry, Ethan. I know I hurt you. I'm really sorry."

"Do you really think that saying sorry would just be enough?" Ethan sarcastically laughed at Jean. Suddenly, he grabbed her hands and put it on his chest, "Do you know how much it hurts, Jean? You know how much I value you deep in my heart, Jean. But still, you always turned me down. You are really heartless!"

"Ethan..." Jean's face turned red while she remorsefully asked, "What...

What should I do to make you feel better?" Ethan repeated her words in his mind. Then he wore a sarcastic look and said, "You would agree to everything that I would ask you to do, right?"

"Of course. As long as it makes you feel better." Jean sincerely nodded and agreed.

"How do you feel about me? Please be honest, Jean. If you can't treat me even as your friend, you should say it. You don't need to feel sorry for me." Ethan suddenly changed his expressions. While he was staring at Jean maliciously, he grabbed a glass of wine and drank it.

"You..." Jean worriedly looked at him as he drank the wine like water.

She wanted to just leave him alone, but she couldn't do that.

"Jean, I'm telling you again, you don't have to feel sorry about me. I am not a beggar to ask for your mercy." After he finished speaking, Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and yelled at the bartender, "Give me a glass of your strongest whiskey."

"Do you want to die?" When she heard what he said, Jean looked grumpy and yelled at Ethan.

"I can do whatever I want. Whether you like it or not, it's none of your business." Ethan sneered, stared at Jean and replied apathetically.

"You..." Jean felt terribly embarrassed, so she gnashed her teeth, stared at him and said, "Alright. I get it. So, I am bothering you. From now on, let's cut our connection. Just act like we've never met each other."

Jean was so angry that she immediately got up from the stool and prepared to go.

She must have been mad about why she treated Ethan so patiently.

Ethan swiftly grabbed Jean's hand that made her shout, "What are you doing? What do yo want? I don't want to bother you. I am leaving now."

"If you truly want to make me feel better, then, drink with me. Then, let's just pretend that nothing happened." Ethan said while she seriously looked at Jean.

Jean was slightly surprised about what he had said. Then, she confusedly looked at Ethan.

A while ago, he wanted her to go away and leave him. But now he suddenly changed his mind.

It was fine for her to have a glass of wine. Nevertheless, she hesitated when Ethan ordered the strongest whiskey.

She might get drunk since she didn't drink too often.

Seeing Ethan being in such a pain because of her unintentional mistake, she felt guilty and embarrassed. All she just wanted was to make him feel better.

Under Ethan's expectant gaze, Jean finally compromised and said, "Okay. I'll take just one glass. Then, let's pretend that nothing has happened tonight."

Ethan immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry. One glass of whiskey won't get you drunk. And even if you get drunk, I will drive you to the hotel safe and sound. I promise you that!"

Hearing Ethan's promise, Jean's hesitations vanished.

She took the glass of yellow liquid that the bartender put on the counter, followed Ethan's move and drank it.

The strong taste of whiskey rushed down in her throat. It made Jean, who was unprepared, heavily cough.

"Are you alright, Jean?" After he saw that Jean heavily coughed, Ethan bent down and gently asked.

"I'm... I'm alright." Jean shook her head and slowly stood up.

All of a sudden, she felt dizzy.

She should've not got drunk so soon.

Was it because of that strong alcohol?

Jean blinked her eyes. When she saw Ethan's concerned face, Jean smiled and said, "Ethan, as what we've agreed, don't be angry anymore."

"Jean, how are you feeling? Are you fine?" Ethan worriedly asked, as if he hadn't heard her words.

Jean was moved deep down in heart. Then, she waved her hands and said, "I'm fine. I'm alright. Don't worry. It was only a glass of wine."

While she was speaking, Jean loudly belched.

Ethan's facial expressions suddenly changed. He took several hundred notes out from his wallet, grabbed Jean and walked outside.

"Ethan... Where are you taking me?" Jean shook her head and felt like everything around her was spinning.

Hallucination. It must have been hallucination.

Jean shook her head again and felt something wrong.

"Ethan... I think I am drunk." Jean said with her tongue twisted.

"I know." Ethan grabbed her and walked hurriedly. After they reached the car, he opened the car's door and got her inside. Then, he fastened her seat belt while he tried to comfort her by saying, "Don't worry. I'll bring you back to the hotel. We'll get there soon."
