Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 633 How Gullible He Could Be

"Whatever! I will not going to talk to him anymore!" Jean ranted angrily and clumsily took her phone out from her purse. She then searched for Ronald's number and intended to delete it from her contact list. In this way she hoped it would also remove him out from her life. But she was stopped by Moore. He blankly stared at her frowning lips and brows scrunched downward in anger. He proceeded to ask her, "Are you okay?"

"You know I always hate Edna, and he's her nephew. So I'm not going to be nice to him," Jean replied mindlessly.

But she realized she was being impulsive and Moore might have thought it was his fault, so she turned to him and explained, "Don't misunderstand me. It's not because of you. I just simply don't like Edna, especially the way she treated Zed's parents. I..."

"No need to explain, Jean. I truly understand." Moore looked at Jean straight in the eyes and said softly, "I know you don't hate anyone for no reason. And I don't like Edna too. I was just hoping that it wasn't because of me. But as you have told me, that it was because how she treated Zed's parents. Now, I feel better and causing you any trouble is the last thing I want to do."

Moore looked at Jean and winked to make light of the situation.

'It's good that you feel better, Moore.'

Upon hearing this, a broad smile appeared on Jean's face.

Truth to be told, she was not angry for what Edna did to Zed's parents.

But she had no choice but to lie. She didn't want Moore to know that she got mad to defend him.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

Indeed, Ronald did nothing wrong and she misdirected her anger towards him simply because that he was Edna's nephew.

Thinking of that, Jean knew she definitely overreacted. But it was hard for her to accept. That was why she was furious.

Even so, she was downright rude to him. She felt shame and cast her eyes down. All of a sudden, she looked up as she made up her mind. 'I will make amends tonight. I have to replace a chance to explain to Ronald,' she thought.

"Aren't you going to pick your evening dresses? Let's go! I will help you choose!"

Moore distracted Jean from her thoughts as she was getting absorbed in it.

"I'm not in a mood right now." She looked at him and thought to herself, 'I came here to help you on how to look and dress better. I even asked Ronald out so you won't blame me.

But I missed the chance to tell Ronald that I'm married, and at the end, I even got pissed off because of his relation with Edna.

However, here I am with my hands full of bags, feeling somehow balanced.'

"We have plenty of time. I think we should go back. You can go get Avery!" Then Jean handed the shopping bags to Moore and continued, "You got it right, these were bought for you, indeed. And tonight, you're going to show to the Bai family that you have led a good life even without them. Zed and I will be there to support you. Alright, enough of drama. Now, please fetch Avery, okay?"

Jean looked at Moore with her sweetest smile as she waved her hand at him.

Moore was caught off guard and soon, a slow smile appeared on his face.

He knew that she wouldn't ask him to shop with her for no reason.

As for Jean, her excuse that she didn't have an evening dress was a blatant lie. Moore could tell that Zed must have given her gifts and that included array of dresses!

But how gullible he could be!

However, Moore was far from being angry. In fact, he was thankful to Jean.

For the longest time, he would see the Bai family members again tonight.

And this was going to be an important night for Moore.

Moore clearly understood the anticipation Jean must have felt for him. But he frowned upon at the shopping bags. "But you bought so many, so I don't know which one I should wear." "Avery has good taste. She can help you choose." Jean knew that Moore accepted the gift when he made a quick smile after she had said that.

"What if she doesn't like any of these?" Moore was trying to look disappointed and faked a sigh of despair.

"Oh, well..." Jean paused for a while as she had never thought of this.

'Yeah, everyone has got different tastes...what if Avery doesn't like any of these? What now?'

"Should I take these clothes home with me? You and Avery can shop for clothes together," Jean said uncomfortably as she motioned her hands to get the bags from Moore.

"I like them. And since you bought these clothes for me, I think you should help me pick the best one. Come on! Why don't we go home so I could try them all and decide which one to wear?" Moore then walked past Jean leaving no time for her to react.

She was embarrassed and at the same time, a little shocked. She snapped, coming back to her senses, and walked faster to catch up with him.

'Does he mean he will wear the clothes I bought for the dinner?'

The thought of this made Jean so excited.

She might have deprived herself with sleep but it was all worth the time and effort to shop for Moore.

'It's just right! The Bai family members will not look down on Moore anymore.

They deserted him and he must prove them wrong.

The dinner tonight is going to be special!'

When the two returned home, she asked him to try them all. After several fittings, they decided the steel grey Italian suit would look best on Moore. The suit's color matched his skin tone. The suit fit him well as if it was made just for him.

The workmanship and style were simply impressive.

Moore looked so stunning in a steel grey suit. The color contrasted beautifully with his fair skin.

Jean felt satisfied with the look she created for him. She then put her hands on her hips and asked, "Well, what do you think?"

"I think it's pretty good. " Moore was not particular with clothes. But Jean seemed to be in high spirits and he didn't want to ruin it so he played along.

"Great, it's settled then! Oh, wait! Let me get you a tie to match the suit." A look of satisfaction could be seen on her face as she bent down to replace a proper tie.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

It was from Moore's phone. He took it out from his pocket and answered, "Hello..."

"Moore, where are you?"

"I'm at home. Why, what's the matter?" Moore glanced back at Jean who was busy searching for a tie around the heaps of shopping bags scattered on the floor. He then walked to the porch to get some fresh air and to speak with Avery privately on the phone. "Your suit for tonight's dinner, I have prepared it already. I had it customized for you. It's made in Italy and in your favorite color. I can send it to you right away..."

"Avery...I've already had a suit to wear." Moore didn't wait for Avery to finish and further added, "Thank you, but I'll be wearing my suit for dinner."

"Moore, this is a very important dinner. You have to make a good impression, especially to the Bai family members. You need to look your best or they will look down on you. First, you impress them with your impeccable clothes, and then you beat them with your charm and character. These are your weapons, you shouldn't take this lightly..."

Avery sounded worried on the phone as she was trying to convince Moore to wear only the best suit for tonight's dinner. 00000
