Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 256 How Dare She Cheat On Me

As long as she kept stirring up the trouble, Zed's hatred for Jean would get worse and worse by every passing second.

A sly smile passed her face when she realized she had managed to make Zed even angrier.

To look like she was sad, Jesse sighed deliberately, walked close to Zed and patted him on the shoulder with comforting words, "Zed, don't get mad. Too much anger is bad for your health."

"How can I not be mad? She went behind my back and drank with another man, and laughed so happily. How can I not get mad? Does she really think of herself as Mrs. Qi or not? Does she really take me and our relationship seriously?" Zed got emotional but hid his tears, which were waiting to flow, by shouting.

Every scream and hate-filled words directed to Jean brought a great sense of pleasure to Jesse.

"Zed, let it go and stop being so mad!" Jesse sighed and comforted Zed with patience. "It's best that you two give each other some space and cool things off. Rest assured. I know that you still care about her. I will take good care of her in your absence." Hearing that, the anger on Zed's face finally calmed down.

Zed looked at Jesse with complex feelings and sighed. "I'm just so mad that my wife was seen by the whole H City flirting with another man at a club. I want to think this through and figure out a solution before taking an action," he added with finality. "Zed......" Zed's devastated look and upset face popped an idea into Jesse's mind, so she casually asked, "You are not going to divorce Jean because of this incident, are you?"

Zed was stupefied by Jesse's words like it never occurred to him before.

"Divorce?" he asked loudly. Repeating the word brought a sour taste to his mouth. 'Divorce, 'he thought in his head.

'Why am I getting so worried at the mention of divorce?

Is it because somewhere deep down I still believe Jean?' he worried.

'No, that couldn't be.'

When one of his assistants told him about the video, he asked him to check out who uploaded that video.

And the search showed that it was uploaded by someone called Lance Wang.

And that person admitted he did it under the instructions of Eva.

This could also explain why Jean gave Eva the address of the resort and acted like they were good friends.

Jean compromised because Eva had something on her and that is the reason why Jean was willing to give him to Eva.

She lied to him saying it was about public affection when it actuality all Jean wanted was to bury her own lies.

Everything was just a perfect plan to fool him.

How smartly she planned it out!

Once again, the resolution became firm and his hatred towards Jean returned. The more he thought about her ploys, the more he hated her.

Funnily, something inside his heart called and reminded him that he had to trust her.

But the thought of her giving him away to another woman pissed him all over again.

He told himself, 'It's not a bad idea to give each other some space and time to cool things off. If she could spend some time to repent her mistakes, my efforts won't be in vain. But divorce...... Will divorce be required?'

Feeling Jesse's questioning eyes on him, Zed looked up. He wanted to say no, but then he decided it was not necessary to give Jesse any explanation. After all, it was not her business.

If he did explain, Jesse would make him admit he was addicted to Jean. That would make him feel bad for being a fool, and his feelings were already killing him.

"Zed, stop thinking too much. You recently married her. So if you give Jean one more chance, then I believe she will make a great change." Jesse saw Zed was neither denying nor confirming, so she was annoyed to death.

"That's it, stop worrying about our relationship and stop supporting her." Yet again Jesse managed to bring his anger to the surface by speaking for Jean. "It's late, you should go, "he finished with a finality in his voice.

"Isn't there an extra room? Zed, I'll be sleeping here to keep you company. What do you say?" Jesse was reluctant and almost begged Zed to let her stay.

"I think you should go!" In truth, what Zed really wanted for Jesse was to keep Jean company, but he couldn't say such a thing because they would give away his feelings. Deep down he still cared even though he was still mad at Jean. Anger, Zed thought, remained but love never left either.

"No Zed, I care about you a great deal. You are very sad, so I am afraid you won't sleep well. Let me stay and keep you company, alright? It's been a long time since we spent some quality time together." The prospect of spending time with Zed made Jesse so happy. Unfortunately, Zed frowned and said, "Jesse, not today. I'm not in the mood to talk about other stuff. My life is a mess right now."

"That's okay. I will just sit quietly by your side. Zed, you know that I worry about you. If you don't let me watch you, I don't think I'm going to sleep well tonight." Jesse looked at him puppy-eyed.

Sighing, Zed thought it would be rude of him to refuse Jesse now that she seemed to want it so bad.

Unhappily Zed said, "Fine, as your wish."

After that, Zed walked off to the living room and took out several cans of beer from the fridge.

Watching this, Jesse's eyes lit up suddenly. She grabbed a can of beer from his hand and said boldly, "Let's do it together. Let's get all drunk and wasted, and forget about all the unhappy things happening in your life." Zed ignored Jesse, opened a can of beer and started drinking.

He hadn't eaten anything because of the video, and hoped drinking would help him forget his pain.

His stomach was so empty and no matter how much he drank, he needed more to satisfy it.

Watching Zed drinking so happily, Jesse didn't try to stop him.

Jesse drank with him boldly, one after another.

Soon, the table was filled with empty cans.

Jesse's eyes became blurry gradually, so she looked at Zed and laughed crazily, "Zed, why do you have two heads......"

"You are drunk......" said Zed seeing Jesse has started to act all crazy.

"I'm not drunk...... Really, I'm very sober......" she said but her words made it obvious she was drunk. Jesse murmured displeased, she staggered up and raised the beer in her hand, "Cheers, Zed......" Zed clinked his beer with Jesse's and continued to drink.

When Jesse finally finished the last can of beer in her hand, she fell on the couch and Zed noticed she made no noise.

He noticed her fall, but he didn't stop instead he continued drinking.

The more he drank, the sadder he felt in his heart.

'Jean Wen......'

This name lingered on Zed's mind which made him want to weep like a baby.

'Why would you betray me even though you know how much I love you.'

Hands on his head, Zed murmured to himself in agony.

Unaware of how long he's been drinking, he put down the beer in his hand and stumbled to Jesse and carried her to her room.

The task of carrying her made him light-headed and Zed lost all his energy. He realized he couldn't make it back to his room with the little strength left in him.

So he grabbed a pillow and closed his eyes lying next to Jesse.
