Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 321 Are You Scared Of Me

Jean kept her eyes closed. Her body was shivering and her eyebrows were raised. When Zed discerned her fear, a ridiculous smile appeared on his face which bore a sad expression. He hadn't expected that Jean would be so scared of his touch.

"There is a goose feather stuck in your hair," Zed told her flatly as he took the goose feather off.

As soon as she felt his touch in her hair, Jean opened her eyes. She had thought that Zed was teasing him, but when she saw that he was actually holding a goose feather, her entire face flushed over at once.

Staring at her reddened cheeks, Zed wondered how lovely and charming the woman in front of him was! He was tempted with great sexual desires.

Instead of hugging or touching her again, he hesitated.

He thought that he couldn't scare her again, and more importantly, he thought he couldn't scare her away.

And to that end, he had made every effort to suppress his sexual desires and tried hard to withstand the temptation.

Embarrassed, Jean stared at Zed with an uneasy expression. He returned her gaze but none of them said a word or did anything. They didn't know what to say or speak. Despite her shyness and embarrassment, Jean finally broke the silence and said, "It is very hot today..."

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, she felt even more embarrassed. All of a sudden, her cheeks turned even more reddish.

"Yes! It is really hot. I am going to take a bath." Zed strode towards the bathroom immediately as he finished these words.

Jean looked at his back in bewilderment. 'What's wrong with him?

Hasn't he just finished his bath?'

Jean was lost in thought but a long while later, she suddenly understood why he had gone and a shyness took her all over again. She intuitively pulled the quilt up a little by the corner and covered herself timidly. She dared not move at all, but just lie still.

About half an hour later, Jean felt the bed sink down deep beside her. Zed had come and lain down after his second bath. Her heart was beating faster and faster. To prevent him from hearing her quick and short breaths, she shut her mouth, and lay there on pins and needles.

The two of them had slept together on the same bed for over half a year, but it was the first time that Jean had been so nervous lying beside this man.

She felt every inch of her skin had been tightened, and the muscle on her face had become rigid.

Zed seemed to have felt her unease. He let out a deep sigh of relief and turned over to face her. Then, he said, "We need to talk."

Hearing his words, Jean opened her eyes and stared at him nervously before asking, "What... about what?"

At that moment, the handsome and charming face that lay before her eyes almost shredded her mind apart. "Grandpa is coming here soon. It is inadvisable for you to act like this." Jean unknowingly reminded him.

With his gaze fixed on Jean, Zed sighed and asked, "Are you scared of me?"

As soon as Jean heard his question, she suddenly felt composed and replied back anxiously, "I am not scared of you."

"That's great," Zed said affectionately. "You don't have to force anything. You just need to be who you are. Don't be scared of me, let alone my grandpa."

"I told you. I am not scared of you..." Jean repeated.

Zed neither approved nor disapproved of her confidence. His eyes still fixed on Jean and he didn't interrupt her. He didn't reply until Jean paused by herself. "It doesn't matter whether you're scared of me or not. But we shouldn't keep on arguing like this. It's already very late. Let's go to sleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zed turned his back towards Jean so that he wouldn't be tempted by that lovely face again, or else he would have had to take another cold shower to suppress his sexual desire.

But Jean couldn't understand why Zed had turned his back. At the sight of that, a bitter sadness overtook her. She recalled that he would always wrap her in his arms peremptorily no matter how reluctant she was. As this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt even more upset. "Zed, can I ask you something?" She enquired after a deep breath.

Zed involuntarily sighed upon hearing her stern tone, but he nodded in assurance so that Jean would proceed with her question. "What is it that you want to ask me? Just say it."

"You slept on the same bed with Jesse the other morning. Did something really happen between the two of you?" She asked, looking at his back after a deep breath.

As she had expected, Zed fell silent for a few seconds.

Zed closed his eyes thinking and wondering what the best way to reply was. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his eyes and slowly turned over to face her. "What answer do you want from me?"

'What answer do I want? What does he mean?' Jean thought.

With that question hovering in her heart, she stared at him with her eyes wide open.

"What if I tell you that what happened the other morning was not true? I was set up, but do you trust me?" Zed asked.

'Sure, I will trust you as long as you tell me that in person,'

Jean muttered to herself.

"You saw that in person. You won't believe it even if I've told you. Even I can't believe that myself," Zed said and smirked. In actuality, he had been searching for evidences these days to prove his own innocence. But he had found no clue, although he had tried different means.

Before getting any proof, how could he expect to be forgiven by Jean?

All of a sudden, Jean became heavy-hearted and disappointed, burdened by the complexities of her feelings.

'Zed. I never thought you would look at me this way.

My boss Sonny always tells me not to look at things with our eyes, but to discover the truth from the desires in our heart.

You are my heart. I will trust you as long as you remain honest to me. I will believe whatever you say if only they are out of your mouth.

But you don't say a word.

You are not willing to explain.

Have I overestimated you?

Or are you trying to ignore me?'

All Zed saw was Jean staring at him in silence with noticeable disappointment. He felt dejected and smirked. "I thought you would ask me about the video..."

me."

Jean came back to her senses from her wild thoughts and gazed at him before replying flatly,"About the video, I told you that I was framed. It is up to you whether you believe it or not. I won't ask you for your forgiveness again. So far, nothing good has ever happened to "Since you've agreed to come back, I thought that you would ask me why I didn't trust you." Zed confessed with his gaze fixed on her.

After all, Jean had tried so hard to explain everything to him after the video incident. To get a chance to elaborate, she had even gone to his company. Afterwards, she had witnessed Jesse and him sleeping on the same bed.

After thinking for a while, she realized that she couldn't just put the blame on others. After all, it had been because of her own carelessness that she had given others a chance to get close to her husband.

At last, Jean cast a weird glance at him and said, "Now, you know that you have misunderstood me. Will you agree for a divorce?"

"Divorce?" Zed sneered and his anger suddenly mounted inside. He added, "Don't tell me that you came back just to get a divorce! Is that the reason? You're forcing me to divorce you by using my weaknesses. Don't even think about that!"000000☐☐☐☐☐
