Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 60 You Came Onto Me

"You came onto me. Why are you asking me to let you go?" Zed smiled flirtatiously and his eyes sparkled.

Jean was irritated. She pointed at the waiter who had just left, and said, "Why did you call the waiter? I could have been wrong about the wine. But you called the waiter and did not help me. You were clearly embarrassing me. Zed, remove your hands." "But you were so sure about the wine. I just had the waiter explain it. Why was that wrong?" asked Zed.

"You!" Jean was so angry that her ears turned red. She stared at him and said, "So, you knew the wine was all right, but you didn't explain it to me. Instead, you had the waiter do it, and in such an embarrassing way!" "I don't mind if you want to think about it like that."

Jerk!

Jean was determined not to let Zed have his fun. And so with great effort, she broke free of his embrace. She returned to her seat angrily, grabbed the wine bottle the waiter had brought, filled a full glass, and took a long sip.

The waiter was surprised. Didn't he just educate the woman about how to drink wine? He swallowed and sighed, 'The woman really doesn't know wine. She's drinking thousands of dollars worth of wine as if it were a regular beverage.'

After the singer finished her song, the DJ started to play some music. The audience shouted and clapped. Before long, the original quiet atmosphere disappeared.

Shortly after a few well-dressed women approached Zed.

"Hello, handsome. I'm Momo." A woman with an enviable figure walked to Zed's side and introduced herself in a soft and sweet voice.

Then, the other women started to introduce themselves. Apparently, they were here to pick up men. Jean was sitting beside. Her face was red because of the wine she had gulped. She was still annoyed, but her mood soured when she saw that the three women were flirting with her husband.

If it had happened before, she would not have cared at all. She would have hoped that Zed would be picked up by those women. But today, she was getting angrier and angrier.

What upset Jean was that Zed didn't reject these women, instead, he let them sit by his side and talk suggestively.

Jean clenched her fists. She was so furious. She felt as though she would explode.

She bit her lip, filled another glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp. She tried to calm herself. When that failed, she put down the glass, stood, and looked at the women. With a fake smile she said, "Sorry to interrupt. I won't spoil your pleasure. Keep the handsome man occupied, please."

Then, she left without looking back.

Zed had wanted to provoke her, but he didn't expect her to be so calm. He had expected her to scream and shout at the women, but she didn't.

Could it be that she wasn't jealous? Perhaps she had been thinking about Ethan Lei? Was that why she didn't care?

He squinted and clenched his fists.

"Handsome, let's have some fun tonight," one of the women cooed at Zed.

"Waiter, bill!" Zed ignored the women. His handsome face was contorted with anger.

Jean started to feel dizzy. Probably because she had drunk too much wine too quickly. She found it hard to walk straight. Just as she tripped, a big, warm hand grabbed her and steadied her.

"Zed? Why did you come after me? Why didn't you stay with those women? What do you want from me?" She mumbled.

Zed scooped Jean in his arms and walked to their room. After they had entered, he put her down and pressed her against the wall. "You like leaving me with other women?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Jean stared at Zed fiercely. Her beautiful face glowed as a hint of red crept into her cheeks. She looked ravishing!

"You only have Ethan Lei in your heart, right? Isn't that why you can't wait to rush into his embrace every time you see him, regardless of the fact that you are someone else's woman." Zed's jealousy was making him behave unreasonably! Although his expression was one of anger, his eyes seem to plead with Jean to reassure him that she was his.

Jean was stunned. After hearing Zed, she seemed to sober up a little. She pressed her lips as tears welled in her eyes. "Zed, you bastard. What are you talking about?"

"I am a bastard? Am I wrong? Or am I telling the truth? You just can't face it," said Zed. Why couldn't she just admit it? She didn't say that she was his. Neither did Jean explain that she liked Ethan. Zed had no idea where he stood when it came to Jean. Not knowing was driving him insane. Why couldn't she just put him out of his misery? The thought caused Zed to punch the wall.

"No, you are wrong. Ethan and I are over. We broke up so many years ago. I'm never going to get back with him. Why do you keep thinking that I am having an affair with him? You and the women at the pub were having a great time. I left because I didn't want to bother you. Even if I do like you, I am just a trade to you. Someone unimportant. You don't like me. We will never work out." Jean couldn't hold back anymore. Tears streamed down her face as she shouted at Zed. This was the first time that she had spoken her mind in front of Zed without hesitation.

After she finished speaking, the room was dead silent.

As Jean revealed her true feelings, Zed froze. He withdrew his hands and Jean slowly slipped to the floor. She pulled her knees up to her chest, buried her face in her palms and sobbed. Seeing Zed with other women had made her so angry and jealous. What happened to her?

She knew that she couldn't fall in love with this man. He and Eva were a perfect match. She was just a trade, a marriage her father had arranged to benefit the Wen Group. He would never love her, and yet she had fallen for him. Her heart shattered as she thought of all these things.

"You said that you like me?" asked Zed. As he repeated Jean's confession in his mind, Zed's jealousy and cynicism settled. Seeing her sobbing and shaking, he felt remorseful. Was he being too harsh?

"Even if I do like you, so what? Don't you replace it ridiculous? Don't you think I am pathetic and a total loser? We are about to get a divorce, but I have feelings for you. Pathetic," said Jean.

Zed's body trembled. He felt so foolish. Why did he keep asking her about Ethan? Why did he keep hurting her and acting like he didn't care?

Now he knew that she liked him. He was wild with joy. But, he also felt guilty.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know whether you liked me." He crouched in front of Jean and slowly lifted her face. His dark eyes glittered with love and tenderness.

Jean stopped crying. She looked at him with her mouth and eyes wide open, "What did you say?"

"Jean, I like you," said Zed. He wiped the tears on her face and slowly leaned forward.

Her heart was pounding. He didn't seem to be lying. Jean could see the sincerity in his eyes. When his soft lips pressed gently against hers, Jean trembled. It never dawned on her that Zed would like her. Should she be happy or sad? After all, they were from different worlds.

Jean shelved all her insecurities. She didn't want to think about any of it. She just wanted to enjoy the moment with Zed. As she closed her eyes, a tear of happiness rolled down.

A ray of moonlight broke through the heavy clouds and bathed Jean and Zed in its pale warmth. 00000
