Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 476 I Can't Help You In This Matter

"Do you really find it hard to meet him?" What she heard really shocked Jean. She looked at Zed first in

amazement, then gave a cursory glance to Moore.

Suddenly, she smiled, as if something had dawned on her. "Zed, I know that you can help me, can't

you?"

"I'm sorry, Jean. I can't help you in this matter!" Zed looked at her and shook his head, denying her

belief. "I have never had any dealings with him. And even though I have met him once, I was only a

child at that time. If you think that we are friends, then you're mistaken. So, I am sorry that I cannot help

you meet him."

"What do you mean? Even you can't help me?" This was the first time Zed was saying that he couldn't

help her and Jean was really shocked. This was unlike Zed.

"Yes. I am sorry. I can't do anything about it. Too many bodyguards surround him and he is well

protected. If any stranger tries to get near him, he is going to be thrown away like a rag doll in a matter

of seconds. He is almost untouchable." Zed sighed.

"You're right, Zed." Jean suddenly seemed to have an idea. "You can't. But Moore can help me get

through to him. As long as I go with him, no one will stop me from meeting Gary." Jean's eyes

brightened and she suddenly became excited as if she was proud to have come up with such a great

idea.

"Why do you want to meet Gary? After all, Edna has already said that she will give us an answer

tomorrow." Seeing her so insistent on meeting Gary, Moore could not help asking her with a puzzled

look.

"To be honest, I don't believe her." Jean replied frankly,"Hanley is her son. And from the way he

behaves, we can easily draw the conclusion that he is a spoiled brat, which means he's pampered. So,

I don't believe that Edna will really try to punish him."

What Jean was saying was impressively perceptive. Moore gave her three cheers inside his heart.

He knew what Jean meant. Hanley was a spoiled brat. But it wasn't Edna who had spoiled him. What

mattered was the fact that

among all spoiled children ever, Hanley was undoubtedly the craftiest!

Even though Gary was remarkably powerful and knowledgeable, he still couldn't guarantee Moore's

safety. He already knew that Hanley would cause too much trouble to Moore and make his life a living

hell.

And he couldn't have stopped Hanley by punishing him

because the person who had actually spoiled Hanley was his own mother, who was eighty years old

and was always threatening him with her life.

Moore clearly knew and understood everything about the Bais. With that sort of knowledge, he did not

expect any good from them and didn't want to get close to them.

Seeing that Jean was so determined, Zed did not know what to say or do. All he could do was heave a

sigh inside his heart and pray that nothing would happen to Jean.

Sometimes, he actually hoped that Jean was slightly foolish. That way, she wouldn't be bothered by

these things and would let them go.

Everyone knew that Edna would not really punish Hanley, because she had no power to do that despite

the fact that Hanley was her son.

So, they had to ignore what she was saying and acting.

But Jean was not going to let it go.

Suddenly, Moore broke the silence,"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" He had seen

that the atmosphere was frustrating and suffocating, so he immediately changed the subject, earning a

quick, strange glance from Jean. Without saying anything, she just held his arm and signaled him to

walk outside.

The way she was acting was odd, and Moore got confused. He cast a glance towards Zed in

puzzlement, seeking an answer about what to do next.

Zed gently shook his head in return, signaling him not to ask anything and just to go on. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

What Zed had done did worry him even more.

Together, they walked outside where Toby was standing next to the sleek Rolls Royce Phantom with

his hand covered in a bandage. He was talking to Gregory.

Seeing the three of them arrive outside, Toby and Gregory immediately stopped talking and greeted

them politely.

They sat down in the back as Toby and Gregory got in the front.

Once inside the extended wheel-base car, Zed took out a bottle of wine and poured two glasses with a

flair. He handed a glass of wine to Moore. "Come on. Drink up. You'll feel refreshed."

"What about me?" There were only two glasses and Jean complained as soon as she saw that.

"You are pregnant now. You can't drink until the baby comes," Zed replied.

"Come on! A little bit won't hurt much, you know? Let a girl have some fun!" Jean tried to bargain

naughtily.

"Okay! Fine! One glass is all you get! No more, understand?" The way she was talking to him made

Zed compromise.

Hearing that, Jean immediately became happy and smiled. She took the glass from Zed's hand and

said to Moore,"Moore, cheers!"

Moore lifted his glass and clinked glasses with Jean. He didn't take a sip until he had seen her take a

sip.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit quiet. Seeing that Jean and Zed were both thinking about

something, Moore kept silent, not wanting to bother them.

When they finally arrived at the villa, Jade had been waiting for them for quite a long time. She was

really anxious and didn't feel relieved until she saw Jean and Zed get out of the car.

She quickly walked and began making a fuss immediately. "Jean? How are you? Are you tired after

being out for such a long time? Are you hungry? Of course, you are! I have asked Zelda to cook some

chicken soup for you. It's been heating in the pot for a while. I will take out a bowl of it for you right now.

You should drink it while it is hot."

Then she ran back to the kitchen without waiting for Jean to reply. She was really worried.

When Jean saw her go back so fast, she almost cried.

"What's wrong? Is my mother annoying? Does she worry too much? Don't worry. She will go back in a

few days and you won't be bothered after that…" Noticing that Jean was a bit stiff, Zed quickly tried to

comfort her.

"No, Zed. It's not that. This is just the first time I am actually experiencing some family love. I feel so

happy. Mom is very considerate,"

Jean snuffled and said with happiness.

Zed was stunned for a while. It was hard to believe that this was the first time Jean was experiencing

maternal affection. For a while, he simply stood there and looked at Jean with a bitter smile on his face.

"I thought you would find my mother annoying and be bothered. That is why I have asked them to go

back quickly."

"Zed, I won't feel bothered." Jean hurriedly denied it. "My mother passed away when I was a child and I

have been lonely and wanting to be loved and taken care of by a person just like a mother does. Could

you please ask mother to stay here for a few more days?" Jean raised her head and begged Zed with

her big, beautiful eyes full of expectations.

Zed stared at her back with an affectionate glance. Seeing her bright smile, there was no way he could

have refused. "Okay. As long as you don't feel bothered, they will stay here for a long time. You just

stay happy."

'I had misunderstood Jean. She has lacked mother's love since her mother passed away and that has

made her lonely. Therefore, she has been longing for mother's love

What's more, Jean is pregnant now, which has made her more sensitive.

I was wrong to think that she was just like any other woman.

I am sure there won't be any conflicts between Jean and mother.

"Zed! Jean! I am tired now. I am going to the bedroom. Hopefully, I will get some rest." Moore was

sleepy and he couldn't stay out any longer.

"Okay. Good night." Jean looked at him and smiled.

"Good night." Moore nodded to Zed and Jean, and then went upstairs. There were several thoughts

besides rest on his mind.

'Too many things have happened today, and I don't have that much tolerance. I must think carefully

about them and organize my thoughts now.

Besides, Jade has arrived now. I should let Jean have some time with her and create a strong bond

and some happy memories.'

When Zed and Jean walked into the dining room, Jade was already walking towards them with a bowl

of tepid chicken soup in her hand. "Jean, hurry up! Drink the chicken soup and don't let it get cold. It's

good for both your health and the baby's."

Jean immediately smiled happily. "Thanks, mother."

"Jean, dear! You don't have to thank me!" Jade smiled. "We are family. You don't need to get all formal

and polite with me."

It made Zed really happy to see that his mother and wife were getting along so fine.

This wasn't usually what happened in households and he was glad he didn't have to deal with such

affairs.

Seeing that Jean was completely focused on drinking chicken soup, Zed asked Jade who was standing

right next to Jean with a smile,"Mother, come here, please. I want to talk to you."
