Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 466 You're Overthinking This

"You're overthinking this. Do you really think that our son will let Moore live in his home if there is

anything between them?" Sean answered.

"How can you be so sure? You know that Zed is a workaholic. He is home only for a limited amount of

time. I'm afraid there is something cooking between these two."

Jade furrowed her brows having a misgiving about them spending this much time together.

Sean saw how worried Jade looked. "Why are you becoming anxious over this? Firstly, this is their

private matter. Why don't you understand when Zed tells you to keep to yourself?! No wonder Zed

wants to drive you away."

"You are to blame." In a flash, a thought struck Jade. She had an inkling of the root cause of the whole

drama that had ensued with Zed earlier. She asked,"Did you say anything to Zed? Otherwise, why did

he suddenly insist that we go home? Sean, what are you doing?"

Jade was peevish as she questioned her husband.

"What am I doing?" Sean didn't mind being straight with his wife. "Honey, young people nowadays

have their own ways. Our times were different. If you want to be a good mother-in-law, I suggest you

stay away from meddling in their affairs. Think about the 'grandson' issue. Be it a boy or girl, it's Zed's

child. You should feel love for the grandchild without any bias.

Now look at the whole Moore-Jean dynamic. How can you speculate about their relationship just

because they went out together? All of your guesswork just might end up hurting Zed and Jean. So I

think it's better for us to leave from here as soon as possible, making sure things remain as peaceful as

it was when we came here."

Sean tried hard to reason with Jade.

"Sean, why did I marry you back then?" indignantly Jade emitted these words. "How could you even

help Zed to drive me away from here? You... Are you hell-bent on pissing me off?"

Jade had hardly listened to him all this while. Sean sighed and said,"Whether you understand this or

not, it's all for our family. It's always hard for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to get along. I really

hope you heed my advice and try to be a good one."

Sean went straight upstairs once he delivered his rebuke.

Sadness overcame Jade seeing Sean leaving her alone in a puff.

Deep down inside, she knew he was making sense. Sean was always for the family.

But she had just come home and saw her husband and son conspiring to drive her away.

She felt miserable.

She yearned to stay on for some days.

'Only Jean allowed me to stay because she understands a mother's heart.'

Jade's spirits lifted acknowledging that she had someone's support in the family.

In the car, Jean looked at Moore and asked,"Are you going to meet someone from the Bai family?"

Jean's question cut short his thought. Moore smiled and said,"Don't worry. I am going there just for my

luggage."

"Really?" Jean asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, of course. You are coming along. You'll see." Moore still smiled.

Jean felt embarrassed about Moore seeing through her and said,"That's not true! I just don't want to

stay at home alone."

"Alone? Who just declared that she wanted to stay in the company of her in-laws? Is this how you give

them company?" Moore tried to make fun of Jean. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I..." Jean looked at Moore flustered and then, frankly admitted to him,"Yeah, I'm just following you. I

can't let you go there alone."

"I'm alright." Moore looked at her kindly and said,"You are carrying a baby, and your safety is the most

important thing."

"Come on. I'm just pregnant. I'm not weak. I will take care of my baby. And also, I will care for you, my

friend."

Jean felt slightly annoyed.

"Alright, I see. Take it easy. I'm sorry for my words."

"Huh..." Jean snorted coldly but looked better.

They arrived at the Emperor Garden together. Moore walked towards the room that had all his

belongings and grabbed a suitcase. He began to pack. "I remember Gregory helping you pack your

things in the hospital. Where is this luggage from?"

"I asked my friend to send it to me from Chicago." Moore answered without looking up.

"Is it anything important?" Jean was intrigued.

The airfreight was hardly what you'd call cheap.

In fact, it was a steep figure.

"Yeah, very important." Moore didn't say much. He took something he needed and said to Jean,"I'm

done. Let's go home."

Jean nodded. By now, she believed Moore for coming here only for his luggage.

But when they reached the gate, she saw a man in mid-50s with a maintained tall figure standing with

his eyes firmly fixed on Moore.

A look of bemusement spread across Jean's face. At the same time she felt deja vu."

Then it dawned on her.

Jean looked him from head to toe and...

Sharp-featured, broad eyebrows, and majestic nose.

His skin was pale.

It was him, the man who was worshipped as if he were God by tens of millions of citizens in H City.

Indeed, his contribution to H city was obvious to all, but not for Moore...

Suddenly, Jean felt an antipathy rising in her for the man standing in front of them.

It was probably because Moore was her best friend. After hearing everything about his miserable

childhood, it was natural for her to side with Moore.

"Moore..." When Gary saw Moore, his peaceful and dignified manner completely dissipated. There was

only his contorted face.

A hint of pain, guilt and love flashed through the shrewd eyes.

Jean was not good at reading other people's mind. But she was sure that she could read Gary's seeing

his face express his emotions very clearly.
