Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 227 Do You Want To Run Away

The sight of the approving crowd and the sound of their cheers were too much for Jean. Her eyes

started welling up until her vision blurred. She was about to burst into tears. She turned to run away

before anyone could see her.

Just at that time, someone grabbed her hand and stopped her.

Through blurry eyes Jean saw Eva's angry face, which scared her a little.

Jean struggled to get out of her grasp. She didn't want to deal with anyone right now, with her heart

being shattered into thousands of pieces.

"Why the hell do you want to run away? Jean Wen, are you a fool? Zed is your husband. You are Mrs.

Qi! You are the only one who is in the position to stand beside him, feeding him that stupid kebab, not

that snake, Jesse!" Eva was now holding both of Jean's wrists and looking at her with her angry eyes.

Seeing Jean just cry and run away, without fighting back made her more than a little upset.

Just moments ago, Eva had warned Jean to be around Zed all the time.

But this little weakling turned a deaf ear to her warning. As expected, Jesse caught the opportunity to

shove herself close to Zed. Now the actual legal wife, without any fighting spirit could do nothing but

watch and cry to herself.

Eva scoffed, "Pathetic! Jean, you are such a soft girl that even weird girls like Jesse can take

advantage of you. Obviously, it's no use crying over it now."

"Eva, please stop saying that." With tears streaming down her face, Jean shook her head and said, "I

don't have the strength to walk over there, pretending that I don't care about their intimate behavior. I

don't think I can do that."

Jean was devastated, like a beaten dog.

Right now, the only thing she wanted to do was find a private place to lick her wounds.

"Jean Wen, I knew that I could turn you into a failure, but didn't expect that you could be such a HUGE

failure, " Eva stressed on the word 'huge'. "And you seem to have forgotten, that you're the rightful Mrs.

Qi. As for other women, no matter how beautiful or noble they are, if they covet your husband, people

know that it's totally inappropriate. What's more, for the 100th time..." Eva rolled her eyes. "... it is an

indisputable fact that you are Zed's lawfully wedded wife. You have to stand up to defend your right, or

other women will walk all over you. Is that what you want?"

Eva continued through gritted teeth, "Do you still not know what kind of person Jesse really is? It is

time to take action to protect your marriage now, or they will kick you out of the house soon. Don't wait

until it is too late. Jean, show me your courage and spirit. I will fight with you.

If you keep tolerating Jesse's insanity, you're just encouraging her. And I know that you're not really

stupid. You know exactly that if you leave Zed now, Jesse will be more than delighted to have the

chance to win Zed's love. And you will be the one who will end up with nothing but a lifetime full of pain

and regret. Do you really want to give up Zed? Are you really ready to break up with him? You're

practically in love with Zed already, aren't you? I can see it in your eyes."

Eva fixed her eyes on Jean and finally calmed down.

"No..." Jean replied and kept shaking her head.

"Stop crying! Don't deny your true feelings. I can tell from your pained face how much you love Zed.

Just admit that you love him. There is no shame in that, not to mention that he is your husband." Eva

cried out angrily, getting impatient having to tell Jean over and over again, that she is Zed's wife.

"Why? Eva..." Jean sobbed. "Why is it so painful and so difficult to love him? What can I do to stop

loving him? I'm getting really tired."

"Jean, love does not just disappear once you get sucked into it." Eva calmed down and continued,

"Jean, to be honest, you're luckier than me. You can't believe how much I envy you. At least, you are

Zed's wife and his eyes are still bent on you. While me... look at me, ..."

Eva paused, showing her sad face. Then she continued, "Zed and I used to be in love. Sadly for me, I

still love him. As you know, I have tried all means to get his love again. And as you can see, he doesn't

even remember that I exist anymore. Jean, if you don't want to get to the point where you will have to

beg for his love in the near future, you'd better take action right now, or you will lose him very soon.

What you should do now is to face it and bravely fight for Zed's love."

"I dare not..." Jean closed her eyes and said, "Just as you could see, Zed and Jesse are perfect for

each other. I am totally out of their league."

"You're absolutely wrong. Jesse is too proud, always feeling that Zed belongs only to her. So she

doesn't worry about other women around him. Never did she expect that Zed would marry you and

finally fall in love with you. Hence, as long as you stand out there to compete with her, I am sure that

Jesse is no match for you." Eva said confidently.

"Really? You think that I can compete with Jesse?" Jean wiped her tears and asked Eva doubtfully.

"Trust me. I have been with Zed. I know him well." Eva stopped with a sad smile on her face,

remembering her past with that powerful man. Then she continued with a big sigh, "You have to

change. Don't just let others bully you and do nothing about it. Right now, you should stand up to face it

and let others know that you're strong enough to protect your marriage. Most importantly, you are

supposed to show Zed that you are in love with him."

"Show my love to him?" Jean shook her head, "Just a moment ago in our bedroom, Zed asked me why

you were here. I didn't tell him the truth, which made him very unhappy. So he ..."

Jean said to herself, 'It is my destiny. Zed must feel very disappointed at me, or he wouldn't have been

intimate with Jesse in front of the crowd.'

Zed...

Right now, it hurt just thinking of his name.

'Is he still the same Zed who is always saying how much he loves me and who wants to have a baby

with me? If so, how could he flirt with Jesse in front of everyone?

Zed, you once told me that Jesse is your sister. Are you fooling yourself or fooling me?' Jean murmured

to herself.

"It turned out that I am the one who made Zed and you grow apart and let Jesse have the chance to

swoop in." Eva realized this and muttered, "So, you'd better create an opportunity to clear the air, or it

will do permanent harm to your relationship."

After calming herself down, Jean looked at Eva.

Eva was different from how she knew her originally. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

'Am I starting to hallucinate because of my sadness?' thought Jean.

Seeing Jean glaring at her, Eva sighed and asked, "Don't you believe my words? You feel weird that

I'm actually helping you, right?"

Jean felt embarrassed and nodded her head.

"Yeah. It is understandable for you to have that feeling. But I think you are the one who should be

blamed for my arrogance and relentlessness before." Eva forced a smile as she explained.

"I should be blamed?"

Jean felt even more doubtful.

"That's right. In fact, I didn't expect that you were so foolish as to agree to fix me up with your own

husband. How stupid was that? I've actually been meaning to win Zed's affection. So when you agreed

to help me, I decided to make good use of it. But I've failed every time. To be honest, it was very hard

for me because I had to wallow in failure all by myself. And I got so mad at you that every time I saw

you, I wanted to take advantage of you." Eva continued.

Hearing what Eva had said, Jean felt a little anger start to well up in her chest.

'What an evil woman. How could she take the advantage of my kindness?' thought Jean.

"I know I went too far in the past. But don't worry. I regret all the bad things I had done to you and I

won't do anything to harm you anymore." Eva sighed as she promised, "I have no choice but to

cooperate with you and give up Zed now. I am sure I won't stand a chance against Jesse. She is so

strong that I am afraid she will do some serious damage to me."
