Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 590 You Have Bullied Me A Lot

Calvin still didn't show any recognition. Jean was so deeply hurt that all her emotions just surged inside

of her. In despair, she asked, "How can this be? How could you let a woman ruin your life so easily?

She's already been dead for almost ten years, why can't you go easy on yourself? Calvin, if you're not

brave enough to face all these, why didn't you just leave this world with Christina back then?

Why?"

She bit her lower lip and continued in an agitated voice, "Yes, since you know and feel nothing around

you now, why didn't you just leave this world with her together?

Don't you love her that much? Why are you still alive and bringing others pain?"

Suddenly, Jean felt shaking on her hand. She raised her teary face and stared at Calvin's shaking hand

in surprise.

Calvin's hand, pale and worn out, was shaking right now, and this was the first movement Jean had

noticed from him.

Jean glanced at Calvin's face, making her eyes widen in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was

seeing right now. Tears escaped from Calvin's eyes, and all the life seemed to have sucked back in his

body.

"Did you really wish that I should have died together with Christina? So I wouldn't cause you and Zed

any trouble? Did you really think that way?"

There was pain in his eyes when he asked Jean.

Jean was relieved that Calvin was finally looking at her and talking to her. After hearing Calvin's

question, she couldn't ignore the pain in his tone, so she got emotional and explained in tears, "No! No,

no matter how much trouble you would give us, Zed and I both welcome you with open arms. It's just

that we don't want to see you abandon yourself like this, tossing yourself like trash as if you don't find

yourself worthy of living anymore."

Calvin stared back at Jean and saw only sincerity in her eyes. "You really don't mind?" Jean was crying

hard that she could only nod in reply. He gave her a bitter smile before he held out his hand and wiped

the tears on Jean's face gently. "Don't cry. If anyone sees you like this, they will think that I've bullied

you."

Hearing this, Jean smiled back. "Since I knew you, you have bullied me a lot, haven't you?"

Calvin just smiled back and sighed, "Ever since I concealed myself from the outside world, how come

that of all the visitors that came, you are the most fierce one?"

Jean looked at him in amazement. "Wait, so, you were still able to perceive?"

"What are you talking about? I just shut myself out, but my senses are normal, okay?" Hearing that,

Jean playfully punched Calvin's shoulder, feeling embarrassed by how much of a scene she had

moments ago. Calvin noticed Jean's humiliation so he said, a bitter smile formed on his face, "Don't

worry. I deserve your scolding, or I really don't know when I will wake and make up my mind to face it

all. Jean, you are right. I have wasted ten years of my life, and I should live for my friends and my

family if I can't live for myself."

"It's good that you finally realize all this." She paused to give him a smile. "I know I shouldn't

underestimate you. Good for you, Calvin."

Calvin smiled back and looked away, keeping his gaze deeply at the flower he was staring lifelessly at

a while ago, and right now, he seemed to be aware of it. "All these days, I have been looking back at

my past, reminding myself of every moment I had with Christina. I've spent ten years memorizing my

past with her and now I think it's enough. From now on, I will live for myself. No hatred, no resentment,

no misunderstanding. I will live for my true self."

Hearing this, Jean felt relieved. She left Calvin with his thoughts for a while. After a moment, she

asked, "Calvin, are we still friends?"

"Of course, unless you still hold a grudge for what I had done to you and don't see me as your friend,"

Calvin replied sincerely.

"Why would I have bothered to visit you if I don't see you as my friend? Would I go through all the

trouble to scold you back to reality?" Jean smiled and hugged him. "Welcome back, Calvin."

Calvin hugged Jean back with a big smile on his face. "Thank you, Jean."

They pulled away, and Jean looked at Calvin with a serious look. "Don't be so distant between you and

me," said Jean. Calvin just smiled and nodded. As Jean looked at Calvin, she was starting to notice his

stubble and worn out face. "Look at you, when was the last time you cleaned yourself? You now look

like a raunchy hobo."

"Am I really that hideous?" Calvin held out his hand and touched his face. Then, he shook his head and

laughed. "It looks like I really should tidy myself up and get ready to get discharged."

"That is an amazing idea." Smiling, Jean nodded in agreement and walked inside with Calvin with

difficulty.

"What happened, Jean?" Calvin noticed Jean's limp, moving towards her to support her.

"Nothing serious, just a sprained ankle," Jean said and smiled bitterly. "You'd better clean yourself up

now! I'll be waiting for you outside."

"Ok." As Jean was settled comfortably on the sofa, Calvin left her and walked into the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, the front door opened and in came Alina still with her worn out Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

face.

Jean saw Alina then stood up and greeted with a smile, "Ms. Wu."

She didn't see Zed go in with her then asked in confusion, "Where's Zed?"

"Mr. Qi is taking a phone call outside," Alina replied with a weak smile, but when she scanned the room

and saw no sight of Calvin, her face became pale, and she rushed to the garden.

Jean knew Alina was looking for Calvin but didn't stop her. Instead, she looked at her with a smile.

She wanted to give Alina a surprise and let her find out herself.

Alina returned from the garden and looked at Jean with a pale face, the fear in her eyes were evident.

Jean saw Alina's face and felt somehow worried, but before she could open her mouth, Alina

questioned her in a shaky tone, "Is it you? Did you take Calvin away? Aren't you already married to Mr.

Qi? Why are you here to mess around with my son?"

Alina's eyes were red and burning with fury.

Jean was stupefied. She had never thought of this coming.

'What's going on?

Or, is Alina too tired taking care of Calvin to stay rational?'

"Alina, there must be some misunderstanding. How can I take Calvin away? He isn't..."

"Don't call me Alina. We are not that familiar," Alina interrupted Jean angrily. "You are married to Mr. Qi.

As a woman, I think you should behave yourself. Though my son is no less than Mr. Qi, I will never

allow you to have any relation with my son."

Jean tried to find any proper excuse for Alina's misbehavior.

However, what she heard just now showed that Alina probably meant it even though Jean couldn't

believe it.

"I think you misunderstood. Calvin and I are just friends..."

Jean tried to explain but was interrupted by Alina again.

"Friends? Do friends hold each other's hand in front of one's spouse? How dare you even do that in

front of me? Really, is that the only excuse you can come up with? How dare you also ask Mr. Qi to

take me away so that you can stay with my son alone in this room? I felt something was off back then,

but I shrugged it off. Then Mr. Qi went to take a phone call and never returned when I finally

understood. I'm warning you again. If you try to steal my son from me..."

"What are you talking about?" Jean felt speechless. She looked at the ceiling and rolled her eyes.

She came to visit Calvin out of kindness and now was mistaken as someone who wanted to ruin him.

How could his mother accuse her right away?

If this was known by others, how could she bear so much shame?

"What are you talking about now?" Zed pushed the door open right on time and saw the looks on both

of them and felt the tension in the atmosphere quite heavy.

"Mr. Qi..." Alina saw Zed walking in as if she saw her savior. She turned to him and said, "I just went in,

and my son is gone. It must be her, who hid my son away." She said with such disgust as she pointed

at Jean.

"What?" Zed looked at Jean in surprise. "Calvin's gone?"
