Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 168

When Zed stepped into the bedroom, he found that Jean was soundly sleeping.

He immediately took his clothes off and lay next to her.

As he held Jean in his arms, he affectionately stared at her.

Jean got closer to Zed instinctively and found a comfortable place that kept her asleep.

At that moment, an affectionate smile slowly appeared on Zed's face and he decided to protect and love Jean forever.

He suddenly realized that everything that happened in his life led him to Jean. He always reminded himself that marriage was a verb. It was not something that happens in just a moment, but rather, it was something that takes a lifetime to develop. He would definitely try his best to comfort, protect, and shelter Jean for all the days of his life. Nobody could hurt Jean and break their relationship as long as he was alive.

Therefore, whatever Ethan would do to frame her up, Zed would not be tricked.

As for Jean...

Zed gently kissed Jean on her delicate and tender cheek and decided to hide his real identity to her. He thought that it was unnecessary for her to know who he really was.

Of course, he was not frightened by what Ethan told him. But he didn't want Jean to worry about him.

Jean woke up in the morning, feeling comfortable. As she stretched herself out and opened her eyes, she found that Zed was already awake and was fixing his eyes on her with a warm and wide smile. Though she was struck by his handsome face again, she felt anxious and hid under the blanket. She felt very ashamed for what she had done on the other night.

Indeed, she had been in an awkward situation last night. She had even behaved wildly under the influence of the drug.

It seemed like she always did something nasty when she stayed with Zed.

Thinking about that, Jean's face turned very red.

"How are you doing? Are you now shy after what you did last night?" When Zed woke up that morning, his voice was a bit husky, yet very attractive.

"No..." Jean felt even more embarrassed when Zed teased her. She just awkwardly got her head out from the blanket, took a glance at Zed, and greeted him with her red face. "Morning."

"Good Morning!" When he saw that Jean's cheeks glowed like red apples, Zed delightfully smiled at her and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Eh..." At that moment, Jean was confused with his question. She didn't understand what he meant when he mentioned "hungry".

It was said that men usually had an intense yearning for 'that thing' every morning.

If she would answer that she was hungry, she might fall into his trap.

While he waited for her answer, Zed observed Jean's reaction and smirked.

He figured out that his cute wife took his question the wrong way.

"Would you like to eat some food?" Zed explained to Jean and showed his rare patience.

Jean felt so ashamed that she immediately covered her face with her hands.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You must be starving after the intense adventure you had last night. Go! Take a shower, and then let's have breakfast at the cafeteria downstairs. Then, I will take you to the hospital and asked the doctor to treat your wounds." Zed said after he slightly sighed.

'Hospital?' All of a sudden, Jean hurriedly moved. She didn't think of anything that moment and immediately jumped out of bed. Then, she anxiously said, "Oh, I forgot! Maranda is still in the hospital."

Zed instantly grabbed Jean who was thoughtless that time and said, "Don't worry. John is there to look after her."

Then she bluntly looked at Zed, and unbelievably asked him, "Really?"

"Are you doubting my competence? I knew that you chose to stay there to look after Maranda instead of going back to H City. Maranda must be very important to you. So, I asked someone to visit her." Zed thoroughly explained to her.

It was Maranda that delayed Jean and almost got Jean abused by Ethan.

That evil woman Selena also deserved to be punished...

When he thought about that, Zed's face suddenly turned apathetic and serious.

"Zed..." After she saw that Zed's face suddenly turned dark, Jean hesitated to continue. A few moments later, she gently asked him, "Why did you come here last night? Thankfully, you arrived just on time.

Upon hearing Jean's question, Zed squinted his eyes and couldn't help himself from feeling furious.

Thanks to that evil woman who approached him on purpose.

She pretended that she made a slip of the tongue when she said that Jean was in danger in that city.

As soon as Zed got that information, he directly drove there and ignored everything.

Though it was supposed to be a two-hour drive, he drove so fast that it only took him 40 minutes to arrived at his destination.

The danger he was facing was imaginable.

Fortunately, he arrived just on time

And got his wife back safe and sound.

If it wasn't for Jean's courage, Ethan could've abused her.

Moreover, Jean's patience on enduring the pressure that Ethan gave her successfully bought time and gave Zed the chance to save her.

Thinking about that, Zed's cold face turned bright again. He looked at Jean and softly said, "I knew that you would not come back last night. I was very worried about you, so I came here to take care of you. I planned to stay with you for one night and return to H City with you."

"You haven't fully recovered yet. I am very sorry. I made you feel anxious and worried." Jean was so touched and felt guilty at the same time by what Zed said.

"Don't be silly. You are my wife and it's my job to pick you up. Would you rather want to see me being nice to other women instead of you?" Zed immediately cracked a joke when he saw that Jean was blaming herself.

"How dare you?" After hearing Zed's question, Jean glared at him and said, "Zed, don't dare to cheat on me. Or else, I will..."

"What will you do?" A smile appeared on Zed's face when he asked her.

"I will not forgive you. I will leave you alone and will refuse to see you forever." Though she had thought for a while about what she would say to him, Jean couldn't dare to speak any harsh words at him.

"No way." Zed's bright face immediately turned dull. Then, he tightly held Jean's hand.

Jean frowned and yelled, "What are you doing, Zed? You're hurting me!"

"I'm sorry." Zed immediately released Jean's hand while his face still remained dull.

Jean confusedly looked at Zed and said, "Your reaction just proved that you're really cheating on me. Am I right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Then Zed continued, "Do you really think that I'm that kind of person?"

"Who knows. Men are flirtatious by nature. I don't know if you could behave properly if ever I'm not with you." Jean couldn't help herself from grumbling.

"Jean, to whom don't you have confidence? Me or yourself? Zed angrily sneered.

"You, of course... As a handsome and accomplished young man, you are undoubtedly the target of different kinds of women! If I'm not mistaken, your first love, Eva, and the international superstar, Selena, both have inappropriate desires for you. They've never forgotten you. Can you honestly say to me that you've never been interested in them?"

Finally, Jean asked the question that had been lingering on her mind for a long time.

As an innocent woman, Jean wasn't afraid to show her selfishness about her possession to Zed.

She couldn't be tolerant at some women who desirably looked at her husband.

She would not let other women get his husband.

Zed, who felt tensed a while ago, felt relieved after he heard Jean's question.

He squinted his eyes, stared at Jean with a slight smile, and wickedly asked, "Honey, are you jealous?"

"Don't be foolish! I'm asking you a very serious question. Can you just give me a straight and honest answer?" Jean's face immediately flushed while he seriously tried to ask Zed.

"Alright. I will be honest with you. No matter how beautiful other women might be, and no matter how they seduce me, I would always stay away from them. That's because my innocent Jean had already taken my heart. Are you contented with my answer, honey?" Zed asked her with a bright smile.
