Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 224 Zack's Affections

"Do you really want to know about them?" Zed said while looking at Jean with frowning eyebrows.

"Sure, I would like to know all about it." Jean hurriedly nodded. "Though I only had a little contact with Jesse, it was the first time that I had seen her getting so angry. Have Zack provoked her before?" Jean asked curiously, while gazing at Zed with her sparkling eyes which were appearing like stars.

"It's a long story to tell. But it is also a little wearily familiar. As a matter of fact, you must have guessed some of it, yet, " Zed sighed and said slowly in his deep and serious voice.

"Does Zack really like Jesse?" Hearing Zed, Jean asked him excitedly with her eyes lit up with surprise.

"Though Zack looks like a womanizer, he is a faithful man in fact. However, who Zack likes is not Jesse Tang, but her elder female cousin, Magnolia Tang." Zed came out with this startling news.

Hearing this, Jean was instantly stunned. After carefully recalling Zack's action and his tone when he saw Jesse, Jean asked confusedly, "In that case, why is Zack always very eager to please Jesse, while she plays deaf to him?"

"It is because Jesse has a very close relationship with Magnolia Tang. When Zack and Magnolia were in love, Zack was still a young lad and was very immature. And so, Zack did something wrong to hurt Magnolia Tang She was so angry that she went abroad after that. Even after so many years, Zack still can't replace her. As for Jesse, Zack might feel guilty towards Magnolia Tang's sister. Naturally, he tries to humor her in regret. And the most important thing is that Zack can only know where Magnolia Tang is living right now through Jesse." Exhaling slightly, Zed explained tediously to Jean.

"Is that why Zack is too enthusiastic when he meets Jesse? And no matter how frigid Jesse is to Zack, he always treats her with zest. Is it just for getting Magnolia Tang's address from Jesse?" Jean asked in shock, "Can't Zack replace Magnolia Tang by himself? Or doesn't anyone in the Tang family know about Magnolia Tang's address either?"

"With the intention of not letting Zack replace her, Magnolia Tang was staying away from home. Therefore, as you thought correctly, Zack have also tried to get Magnolia Tang's address from her family, but it failed. And so, he has only Jesse to put all his hopes on, "Zed continued to explain, while looking at Jean softly.

"I got it!" Nodding to show her understanding, Jean couldn't help laughing, "I thought Zack likes Jesse at first! By the way, Zed, is that Magnolia Tang beautiful? And who is more beautiful between Magnolia Tang and Jesse Tang?"

Looking at Jean's curious little loving face, Zed couldn't help shaking his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I grew up with those two from childhood, and so I am already immune to their beauty. With such a sudden question, I can only say that each of them has their own beauty!"

"Jesse Tang is already stunningly beautiful, and so, Magnolia Tang must be the same. Because they are cousins. Otherwise, how could Zack, a very picky person, don't like Jesse but Magnolia?" Jean crooked her head to the side and murmured to Zed. Zed was instantly amused by her lovely expression. But when it came to loving, he had a different perspective from her.

He embraced her lovingly and sighed, "Jean, not every man uses beauty to measure likes or dislikes. Being connected is a mysterious thing. It's probably because of a word, a certain expression or an action, or mutual tacit understanding and so on. Although it is undeniable that beauty accounts for the majority, you can not deny that there are other factors, which are also the reasons for a person's being attracted to them."

"Oh no! It's too obscure for me to understand!" Shaking her head teasingly, Jean asked Zed with a smile to sound him out, "And what about you? What makes you connected?"

"Me?" Zed was astonished. He stared deep into Jean's eyes and smiled vaguely, "What if I say it is your body that makes me tick?"

Jean blushed, glared at him naughtily and said, "I am asking a serious question. You're not acting decent at all."

"Oh, I am also answering it seriously, okay? Isn't it because we started to know each other steadily by getting familiar with each other's bodies that we decided to be stay together? If I was not satisfied with your body, we could not be together now," Zed said earnestly to Jean with his face all filled with deep and loving emotions.

Jean was shocked. She couldn't help looking up at Zed in a curious manner and smiled bitterly, "Although I wanted to deny it, I couldn't replace any reason."

"So sometimes the truth is not so sweet. But if you like to listen honeyed words, I'll say more to you." Zed kissed her gently on the cheek and said affectionately.

"I'm not a kid. I don't need you to coax me!" Jean blushed at once and said quickly.

"Jean, we have already professed our love for each other now. And so, I am in your heart, and you are in mine. I hope you won't do silly things anymore, let alone make me angry!" The smile on Zed's face slowly faded away, and suddenly he said while looking at Jean seriously. Jean was suddenly stunned on hearing these words from Zed, and she stared at him in a daze.

"Can you tell me something about Eva? For example, why she is here to stay?" Zed stared at her closely with a serious face and asked.

Jean bitterly smiled and then dropped her eyes helplessly as she was in the messy condition.

'Well, Eva appeared too suddenly. If no one told Eva the address, how could she come here to see Zed? What's more, it's obvious that Eva wants to steal my husband. But I atypically persuaded Zed to let Eva stay at the resort with us. How could smart guy like Zed not guess that it was me who told Eva the address?'

"I..." Jean wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

"Think it over before you tell me. We are married. I don't want you to hide anything from me, "Zed said seriously.

Jean couldn't help looking up at Zed, but her mind was wandering about all her options.

'Zed, can I trust you?

If I tell you the truth, you will be very angry.

And I also know your temper too well. If you get angry, the consequences for me will be unbearable.

It's an unusual time now. Jesse is also ready to steal you from me at any time. I really don't want to give anybody any chance to take you from me at this time.'

"Zed, please do not ask. Trust me this time, will you?" After a long pause, Jean stared at Zed pitifully and pleaded at last.

Zed's eyes flashed with disappointment, and immediately he was extremely sad which was clearly visible from his despairing face.

He was waiting for Jean to speak out for herself. But he saw that she had been escaping from the truth, and finally he could not bear to ask.

To his surprise, she still didn't want to tell him the truth.

'Jean, are you so unwilling to trust me?'

"Zed, don't be unhappy. When the right time comes, I'll tell you the truth as soon as possible." Seeing Zed's hard-to-hide disappointment, Jean was anxious and she hurried forward to comfort him.

But just giving her a silent look, Zed finally got up and went straight into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Jean blankly slumped down on the big bed and smiled bitterly.

She still got Zed angry.

And she knew he was very, very angry.

But she still did not regret her decision of not telling him.

'When all get over, I'll explain it to Zed!' Jean consoled herself in mind while sitting tiredly on the bed.
