Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 561 The Most Direct And Effective Way

Though Albert seemed to be a much easier opponent than the stern-faced Adolf, still, for some reason,

Zed was worried inside his mind and the most inexplicable fact was that he had no idea why he was

feeling so. It was just unsettling. It was for this very reason that he found it hard to answer Jean's angry

question.

"Are you insane? What's going on in your mind?" Jean asked again. Apparently, she was extremely

annoyed by him right now, as he had been silent the entire time without telling why.

"Zed, at least tell me why you feel that way?" Moore pushed Zed a bit as he fixed his eyes on him and

waited patiently for an answer.

"I don't know. But I just have a strong feeling that it will be better if I trust Adolf. Now if you recall your

memories of that when Adolf shouted at Avery today in front of us. Do you remember what was her

reaction back then? To my surprise, Avery still looked compliant to Adolf. This clearly means that

whatever Adolf said is for Avery's own good, and she understands it as clearly as we do. Don't you

think that's true?

However on the contrary, Albert knows that Avery is a star who has a very tight schedule and that she

trusts him very much, but he was still advising us to help get Avery out of the hospital later at night,

despite the fact that he had initially asked us not do anything rashly no matter how Avery was feeling at

the moment. That's kind of strange. If he was really trying to do good to Avery, he would never have

done such a thing." Zed was busy analyzing the current situation, almost oblivious to the people around

him.

"Really? But why?" Jean asked with confusion written all over her face. She added, "I thought that it

was because he cares about Avery's feelings that he came up with the idea to help her out of troubles.

Was I wrong?"

"I think we all saw very clearly what happened today when Adolf lost his temper. Don't you think it was

extremely horrible? Now imagine what would happen if he found out that Avery escaped from the

hospital tonight. Wouldn't he throw another temper tantrum just like we saw earlier on? No, getting

through this so easily is impossible. The situation is going to be a lot more serious when Avery escapes

and the damages it would cause would be catastrophic on both financial, as well as social scale. The Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

media is going to scatter a lot of bad news about her and Avery is going to face too many problems in

her future. However, if she doesn't want to be in the entertainment business, then that is fine,"

Zed explained with a serious look on his face.

"Is it that serious?" Jean enquired in surprise. She hadn't fathomed that the problems were so deep.

"The Internet works so well nowadays, and we all know how much gossip affects a person's life,

especially when it comes on the Internet. This is an especially enormous problem for celebrities. Even

you've suffered from it once, and I'm sure you know well about that. What do you think would happen if

Avery had been the victim of the cyber violence this time?" Zed asked with his eyes fixated on Jean.

"It would be a hundred or maybe a thousand times harder for Avery to deal with it as compared to other

people!" Jean uttered suddenly. Her face had turned pale as she was speaking and she asked, "What

should we do now? Are we really not going to see Avery tonight?"

"No, we definitely have to go," Zed replied and paused with a frown on his face. He continued, "But still,

whatever happens is solely Avery's decision and it is her right to decide and choose."

Moore nodded at his words in agreement and remarked, "Yes, Zed's right. After all, her future depends

on her own wishes."

Hearing Moore agree to what Zed was saying, Jean felt that she'd better not trouble them anymore

than they already were. They had come to an agreement now. However, she was still really worried in

her heart about what Avery's final decision might be and what would follow her as a result of her

choice. She had already suffered one and she didn't want Avery to suffer like that either. However, she

also found Zed and Moore had a point, so she could only sigh and agree as well, "Well, in that case,

let's go and find out tonight."

The three of them talked a little longer, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

When they got back to their bedroom, Zed closed the door and then carried her softly to the bed. As he

carefully helped her sit down, he ordered her, "Jean, you take a good rest at home tonight. Moore and I

will take care of things."

"No! I have to go with you two. I'm so worried," Jean refused immediately. She did not want to be left

out.

"Jean, you're pregnant and you've got a foot sprain. It's not convenient for you to walk and you might

slow us down. And think about it, what if we suddenly meet Adolf in the hospital? There is a very high

probability of verbal and even physical fights in such a scenario and I can never allow you to fall

between that," Zed replied firmly with a serious look on his face. He looked into Jean's eyes and added,

"It will be really better if you stay at home and wait for us to deliver the good news."

"Zed, I know you are saying this for my own good but, you do know me, I'll be really worried if I can't go

with you. Let me go with you guys. I will not hold you back, I promise," Jean begged and looked pitifully

at Zed, as she blinked her bright eyes at him.

With that pitiful look, Zed felt a lot softer and couldn't respond with anything for a few moments. Then

he sighed heavily and shook his head. "Jean, I'm afraid still I can't let you go with us. And if you insist

on it, Moore and I will not go tonight for your safety."

Realizing that Zed had threatened to not go at all just to stop her from going to see Avery tonight, Jean

suddenly felt lightheaded and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But when she fixed her eyes on him, she could tell clearly that he was not joking from the serious look

on his face. She could only nod and agree, "Fine! I guess I can only stay at home and wait for you guys

to come back then. Someone has to be there, even if without me."

"That's my girl!" Zed exclaimed happily with a big smile on his face. He let out a sigh of relief at the

realization that Jean had finally agreed to stay at home and wait for them to come back. He gave her a

tight hug and assured her, "Believe me, I will try my best to fulfill Avery's wish no matter what happens

tonight."

"Alright, I believe you. Zed, do you think Moore knows about Avery's feelings for him?" Jean asked,

leaning meekly into his arms.

"It's hard to say," Zed replied as he shook his head. There was a puzzled look on his face as he added,

"It shouldn't be a problem as his IQ is high enough to find out the answer. But I'm afraid that his EQ is

not as good as his IQ. I don't think he would ever reply Avery's hints towards him no matter how clearly

she gives them. She will have to confess directly. Otherwise, it's really hard to say."

"Oh my! Moore's such a blockhead in terms of relationship knowledge. I have no idea when, if ever,

he's going to understand Avery's feelings for him. Will he be with her in the end?" Jean wondered with

a sigh.

As Jean was speaking, Zed straightened himself up with seriousness written all over his face suddenly.

He held her face in his hands and reminded her, "Jean, I want to remind you one thing. It is okay if you

want to make a match between Moore and Avery, but still, it's something that depends on fate. And if it

turns out that Moore does not have the same feelings for Avery as she does, there is nothing we can

do but wish them all the best for their future. We must not and we cannot force them to do anything, all

right?"

"I know, I know. Look at you, are you really worried about that I will force them into a relationship? Oh,

come on! I'm not going to push Moore to date Avery just because I like her. Although she now has

strong feelings for him, whether they could be together depends, in the end, on his will. Wait, why have

you started worrying about me pushing them even before they have gotten started? I haven't done

anything yet,"

Jean asked. She looked at Zed with suspicion written all over her face, waiting for his answer.

"Well, I am just afraid that you will do this thing recklessly and ignore the feelings of those two.

Furthermore, Moore and Avery have been classmates for a few years. Can't you see if he has feelings

for her or not until now?" asked Zed.

"Have you already found out that Moore has no feelings for Avery?" uttered a surprised Jean, with her

eyes widened and fixated on Zed.

"Well, yes. We're both men. So I know exactly what Moore would do if he felt something about her. It

would be what any other man would do. When a man faces with a girl he likes, he will definitely try his

best to behave when she is watching. And he won't do things that Moore does in front of Avery,

together with his cool attitude," Zed replied firmly with a nod.

"If that's the case, it looks like it's going to be really hard to get the two of them together. Zed, as a

man, what do you think is the most direct and effective way for a woman to make out with a man? How

can she express her feelings for a man so that he gets deeply touched?"

Jean asked. She looked up at Zed, blinking her big, beautiful eyes, as if she were sincerely waiting for

his answer.

Hearing her words, Zed suddenly put up an ambiguous smile on his face and replied, "Well, I would say

that the fastest way to create feelings for each other, would be the one we've used before." After his

words, Zed fixed his eyes on her as if he was waiting to enjoy the changes of her facial expression.

On the other hand, Jean felt a little bit weird by Zed's staring at this moment. She did not know how to

respond for a few seconds with a puzzled look on her face.

All of a sudden, she then remembered that her relationship with Zed had changed inherently and

deeply ever since they had slept with each other. At the realization that he was, at this moment,

pointing to the fact that their feelings for each other were created through sex, she couldn't help

flushing with embarrassment. And she was so shy that she buried her head into his arms and dared not

look up at him for quite a while.

Noticing that Jean was flushing with shame, Zed's face lit up with a big smile. Suddenly, his mind

flashed back to the time when he was with Jean in the past, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

'I do think it is the most direct and effective way to create a connection with the opposite sex. If it had

not been for this method, would Jean and I still have no connection at all right now?' thought Zed in his

mind joyfully.
