Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 353

Zed realized that Jean was doing just fine without his company.

When Jean noticed Zed's arrival, she couldn't help so she stretched her neck to look behind him. Shockingly, she found that no one was following him. So she went close and asked in great puzzlement,"Where is Jesse? Just now you both were together, but where is she now?"

"Jesse?" Zed seemed to be puzzled and said,"Maybe she is a little behind me."

As he finished his words, Jean watched Jesse arriving and pushing the door open. From her expression, Jean detected she wasn't in a good mood.

"Jesse, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" When seeing the unnatural expression on his granddaughter's face, Dan immediately worried about her and asked with great concern.

"I am fine," Jesse replied, in a hurry and changed her facial expression putting on a happy face. She then said,"Maybe it is because I have not done any sports activity recently. So I feel a little tired now."

This seemed like a reasonable explanation that everyone would buy without further queries.

But Jean passed Jesse a suspicious look and then shifted her glance to Zed.

Zed raised his eyebrows and looked at Jean perplexedly.

Slowly, Jean walked to Zed, then sat down and slightly shook her head to him.

Rich and inviting dishes were set and presented before them. Facing such delicious and beautifully-cooked vegetable dishes, Benjamin and Don, the two seniors who thought highly of health protection, immediately cheered up. Their eyes were rather bright and soon they began to relish the food with a good appetite.

Zed and Jean had rarely accompanied the two elders to eat vegetable dishes before, so they also had a comparatively good appetite.

Only Jesse felt it was rather hard to swallow the food. And the vegetable dishes in front of her remained untouched. She didn't eat anything instead stared at a direction with her eyes wandering freely. With no control over her eyes, Jesse's eyes started to wander aimlessly.

After giving a good treat to their stomach, the two elders came out looking happier. They then happily devoured a superior kind of green tea offered by the Safwan Restaurant.

Benjamin was drinking the tea when he observed that Jean was taking good care of him and Dan. Moreover, she looked sincere and happy to be by their side. He felt his earlier opinion change and then gently said,"Stop bothering yourself serving us, sit down and have a rest yourself. You must be tired."

His voice startled Jean and his words took some time to sink in. Seconds later, she seemed to come to her sense and nodded her head in surprise. Her worried tone became much lighter as she said happily,"Yes, grandpa."

After she finished her words, she walked directly to Zed and sat beside him enjoying the fresh fruit.

Jesse noticed Jean approach and she suddenly lost the desire to have fruits. She threw away the fork and turned to look at Zed before saying,"Zed, are you leaving for the company in the afternoon?"

"Well. What's the matter?" Zed asked while he fed Jean a piece of fruit.

Jesse bit her lips a little and seemed to be ashamed of speaking it out,"I have some other things to deal with this afternoon. So I cannot accompany our grandfathers. Can you accompany them to visit somewhere else here?"

"Of course I can!" Zed said trying to put her at ease. "You just go on and do your business."

"Ok then. I am going to tell them both about it now." Finishing her words, Jesse quickly sprinted towards Benjamin and Dan, not wanting to spend a second watching Jean and Zed.

Jean sat near Zed and watched Jesse explain to the two elders with her gentle and sweet voice. She drew back her sight and looked at Zed with seriousness. Doubtfully, Jean asked,"Jesse doesn't even have friends here. So what is she going to do?"

"She said that she has something to do and I don't think it is nice to question her about her personal matters," replied Zed, while he frowned a little at Jean's curiosity. Keeping the fruits aside, he turned and looked at Jean before he spoke,"I now feel that you are more willing to stay with her than to stay with me. Do you want me to leave?"

His words made her roll her eyes. In a casual tone, she said,"I just feel strange that she is leaving so suddenly. I mean she didn't mention this duty earlier. Why did my presence make her want to leave? Zed, do you think she is leaving because of me? Don't you feel she hates being near me?"

"You are thinking too much," Zed replied stretching his hand to touch her beautiful hair. "Well, stop woolgathering. Ok? Treat yourself and have fruits. You look very tired."
