Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 459 Sour For Boy And Spicy For Girl

As soon as Zed finished, ecstatic applause echoed in the room and everyone's face beamed with joy. They all looked at Jean with a happy smile.

"Zed, Jean, congratulations on expecting a baby." Moore walked over and embraced both of them.

"Thank you so much, Moore" Jean watched Moore and for reasons she didn't know, she felt so thrilled that her voice trembled.

"What's the matter?" Detecting a difference in Jean, Zed asked in a jiffy.

"Nothing. I am just too happy." Jean rubbed her eyes off the tears and said.

"I think Jean is okay." Moore tried to explain for her, "Maybe it is all the sudden excitement of becoming a mother. Zed, you should be more considerate about Jean's emotions from now on. Pregnant women can get emotional and moody because of their fluctuating hormone levels..."

"Moore, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jean suddenly flared with anger and gave Moore a threatening look.

"I got it." Zed patted Moore's shoulder in agreement and nodded to him.

"Jean, don't get worked up. I read up online when you two went to the hospital. I am just telling you scientific facts. In fact, you should be happy to see that Zed and I will be far more considerate and careful at this special time," Moore explained. "I guess the doctor might have already told you this too."

Zed nodded again admitting the truth behind Moore's words.

But, Jean pulled a long face and sulked at Moore. "I don't need you to tolerate me. It is better for you two to stay away."

After she said that, she ran inside on her own.

Zed got nervous and was just about to yell at her to slow down but she had already disappeared into the house.

"See, we have to watch our mouths in front of her from now on." Moore smiled wryly looking into the direction Jean had just sprinted in. "She couldn't understand what we said. We were trying to do what we thought is good for her but it just made her more furious." "She has just been told that she is pregnant. I think you need to watch her moods for the time being." Zed thought he was fussing over nothing and politely smiled at Moore.

Changing the topic, Moore looked at Zed uncomfortably and said, "Zed, you will start to have some hard time from now on. I have to leave from here as soon as possible..."

"Don't you dare think about it." Zed looked at Moore and reminded him,"She is a pregnant woman now. If she doesn't approve of you leaving, then you may as well give up on the idea."

"What?" Moore exclaimed with surprise and stared at Zed, "You can't be so cruel. If Jean doesn't agree, you will not agree on my leaving?"

"What else can I do? Jean is the boss of the house now. Whatever she says, we have to follow."

Zed slyly smiled at Moore and patted his back to show his sympathy towards him. Looking back into the direction in which Jean had sprinted, he began walking towards the villa. "You..." Moore watched Zed speechlessly.

'Seriously, Zed? So you adore your wife like that? Is that really good for her?'

As soon as Zed walked into the living room, he saw Zelda put down myriad food items on the coffee table as if they were some kind of treasures. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Jean, these are what I carefully chose for you. Please try them. They are really delicious." Jean's eyes glanced over the items in a jiffy. Then she shook her head moodily and showed no interest in them at all. "I don't like sour snacks. You can have them yourself."

Zelda was startled. She took a step back and failed to conceal her surprise.

Zed had just witnessed this exchange and he winked at Zelda immediately.

The two of them left the room and came to a more secluded corridor of the house where Jean couldn't hear them. Zed said softly,"Zelda, why did you look so weird when you heard Jean say she didn't like the snacks you prepared? Tell me the truth. Don't keep anything from me." Zed trusted Zelda very much. Earlier she had said that preserved plum was good for Jean.

Now seeing Jean reject it, Zed got nervous.

"Mr. Zed..." Zelda seemed to be in a dilemma. It took her some time to make up her mind before she opened her mouth, "You probably haven't heard that old saying."

"What 'old saying"?" Zed couldn't guess what was really on Zelda's mind.

"It is old, but true most of the times. Sour for boy and spicy for girl. This is how babies have been predicted for ages. If the mother likes sour dishes, then it will be a boy; otherwise..."

Zelda stopped in the middle of the sentence when she sensed the slight change in Zed's expression.

"Zelda, please don't say such kind of things anymore." Zed's nervous face turned vexed and sad. "Irrespective of the baby being a boy or a girl, he or she will be born out of our love. It is the most precious gift our Qi family is expecting. You just need to take care of Jean in the following months and make sure everything goes alright. Keep anything that shouldn't be said to yourself, okay?"

Zelda had been working in the Qi family for a long time and she had seen Zed growing up. She was Zed's nanny.

Zed had always showed great respect to her and had never yelled at her even once.

And now...

Zelda was hurt and she looked at Zed with unease and repeatedly said, "Sorry, Mr. Zed. I forgot to watch my mouth. I will heed your words and never talk nonsense again."

"It is all right, Zelda." Seeing Zelda's tense face, Zed started to regret his harsh words. He softened his tone and explained,"I didn't mean to blame you, Zelda. I just don't want to upset Jean because of anything."

"Sure, Mr. Zed. I understand. I know what to do and I will tell the rest of the service staff here to watch their mouths too." Zed nodded to show he appreciated what she had just said.

"Good." Zed nodded satisfactorily and turned to go towards the living room.

After Zed turned his back to her, Zelda patted her chest with force to relieve her tense heart and exhale deeply.

On his return, Zed saw Moore sitting opposite Jean. They were chatting. Obviously they had put behind their tiff that had happened just a moment ago.

The truth was Jean was throwing a tantrum. She knew in her heart that Moore was trying to be good to her.

As soon as Zed walked close to them, they stopped talking immediately. Somewhat bewildered, he asked, "Why did you stop? Weren't you talking merrily right now? What is it?"

Jean stared at Moore for five long seconds and then said, "Moore said he wanted to move out. Zed, you know I can't go anywhere now that I am pregnant. I was thinking it is lucky that I still have Moore here to give me company and chat with me. However, as soon as he knew I got pregnant, he wants to abandon me and walk away."

"I am not abandoning you. It is just not convenient for me to live here after you get pregnant." Moore got anxious and explained briskly. [
