Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 462 You Better Be Prepared

Jean smiled a beautiful smile to herself. Whenever she thought of her life after having the baby, she

would turn sentimental and daydream.

'Moore, irrespective of whether you are returning to the Bai family or not, the Qi family will always be

your rock.

Forgive me, Moore. That is all I can do for you.'

Zed's phone call to his parents who were vacationing overseas got them to change their plans and rush

home at top speed.

So when Zed and Jean were sleeping in their bedroom, Zelda's thrilled voice could be heard from

downstairs.

"Mr. and Mrs. Qi, welcome back!" Zelda received them with surprise and excitement.

"Hush…" Jade signalled Zelda to keep quiet and she looked up at the couple's bedroom gingerly. After

she made sure that they hadn't woken up, she quietly said," Don't make any noise. It'll wake Jean up."

Zelda nodded and she tried hard to control her happiness.

"How is Jean? Is she doing alright?" Jade simply ignored her husband Sean and drew Zelda aside to

enquire about all the details.

Zelda nodded fervently and said," Mrs. Jean is doing fine although she is starting feeling sick now. It is

hard for her actually. She throws up whatever she eats, because of which she looks a bit worn out."

"It will be alright, now that I am back. I will take good care of her. I know how to feed her to keep her

well-nourished and let her give birth to a big and healthy grandson for me." Jade said with joy.

Seeing Jade wallow in happiness, Zelda started feeling sorry for her.

'If Mrs. Qi realizes that the baby in Mrs. Jean's womb is a granddaughter instead of a grandson, she

will get very disappointed.'

However, Zed's warning echoed in her mind and she covered her mouth impulsively with her hand.

Looking uneasy, she said," Mrs. Qi, you and Mr. Qi please take some rest. I will go prepare breakfast

for you."

Zelda turned to the kitchen and planned to scuttle before they paid attention to something else.

Jade was fast enough to grab her hand. She smiled and said," You just need to prepare the basics. I

will come and cook in a moment."

"Mrs. Qi…" Zelda shook her head," You just got off the plane. You must be tired. It is better to let me do

it."

"I am so happy to cook for my grandson. I am not tired." Jade said laughingly," You get everything

ready in the kitchen. I will come down after freshening up."

Jade began walking towards the guest room upstairs.

Sean was already in the guest room when Jade came in. Seeing Jade fussing around, he couldn't help

asking her," What are you doing instead of taking some rest?"

"I have to cook for my grandson. I need to keep Jean well-fed so that my grandson will also be…"

Jade gabbled on as she changed her clothes.

"Look at yourself. Don't keep saying grandson all the time. What if it is a girl? Will you be heartbroken

in that case? It is not a big deal that you get disappointed then, but it would be terribly awkward for Zed

and Jean."

Sean tried to reason with her and get her to calm herself down.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am sure it is a big boy in Jean's belly. You just believe me."

After Jade changed into comfortable clothes, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

Finding his warning hadn't worked at all, Sean shook his head with resignation.

'I have to give Zed a heads-up and ask him to prepare Jean.'

Soon enough, he began doubting whether it was a good idea to hurry back home.

If Jade only wanted to have a grandson, he was getting really worried.

Zed heard the noise and had been awake for quite some time.

However, as he saw Jean sleeping soundly, he stayed in bed in order to not add to the noise.

When Jean finally woke up in a while, she caught sight of Zed watching her with devoted eyes.

She blushed and her heart started to beat wildly seeing the intense affection in his eyes.

"Morning…" To clear the awkward air, Jean greeted him smilingly.

"Morning," Zed imprinted a kiss on her forehead and then said. "Good sleep?"

"Yes," Jean nodded and then turned to see the time. She asked with puzzlement," Don't you need to go

to work? You took a day off yesterday. Is it really alright for you to not show up like this?"

"It is okay. I pay them handsomely to work, not to idle about. Since you have had enough sleep, let's

get up. I heard my mother and father come back some time ago,"

Zed said, still looking smitten by Jean.

Startled, Jean began to panic," What did you say? Your mother and father are back?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Zed was a bit displeased with Jean reacting in such an unwelcoming way.

Jean realized that she had said something wrong. She changed her tone and said," Did you say

mother and father had been back? Aren't they travelling abroad? Why did they come back so soon?"

"Of course it is because they heard that you are pregnant. My mother's short temper wouldn't allow a

moment's delay and she must have dragged my father to rush back," Zed said with resignation. "Don't

be misguided by my mother's graceful and dignified manners. In fact she is as impatient as a child.

Jean, if my mother does something that upsets you in the future, please forgive her for my sake. Don't

fight with her."

"Of course I won't," Jean replied positively. "Last time though, your mother and I got to spend only a

short period of time, I think I know her personality…"

Zed shook his head. There were still a lot of unexplainable things that Jean could only learn over time.

"Anyway, remember what I tell you," Zed repeated. "Be tolerant to my mother for my sake."

"Okay, I get it now," Jean laughed. "I know mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are thought of as

natural enemies, because they have to share a man they both love. So it is always impossible for them

to get along well. Don't worry, I will not step out of line on anything."

Hearing Jean say so, Zed felt slightly relieved.

They both freshened up and got changed. To please Zed's parents, Jean chose to put on a set of

relatively conservative and formal clothes. She followed Zed who was going down the stairs.

Breakfast was already laid on the table — fresh and warm.

"Father!" Zed walked downstairs and saw Sean sitting on the couch in the living room and reading

newspaper. He called him immediately.

"Hi, Zed. You are up." Sean heard Zed's voice and looked up. He smiled at Zed and at the same time

his eyes scanned Jean who was behind Zed imperceptibly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jean greeted him meekly in time," Hi, Father."

The clear and sweet voice enhanced the smile on Sean's face immediately.

"Since we are all here. Let's begin having breakfast. Your mother has been in the kitchen for a long

time. And she didn't allow us to eat before you two woke up." Sean said smilingly.

"Mother…" Jean flushed and felt embarrassed. "I am sorry. We shouldn't let her do this for us. Zed, you

keep father company. I will go to the kitchen to see if I can help."

Zed nodded and watched her rushing to the kitchen. Then he looked at Sean and tried to catch up on

him," Father, where have you been with mother for vacation?"

"Zed…" Sean's face turned serious and he said with somewhat difficulty," There is one thing I need to

remind you. You better be prepared."
