Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"Albert, are you sure that you really want to see Avery sick and uneasy? I am sure that is not the case. Am I wrong in assuming so?" Adolf finished his rhetorical question and turned away without waiting for an answer, or even looking at anyone. He simply left. With him gone, Albert could do nothing but stomp the ground out of frustration. He then glared at Avery with extreme disapproval and hatred.

"Albert, why do you hate me so much?" Avery looked at him in confusion and asked. "I have promised you that I won't tell anyone else, why do you have to do this to me?"

"Won't tell anyone?" Albert sneered. "Hell no! If I hadn't come and stopped you, you'd have already told everyone within a light year radius! Bitch, do you really think I can trust you?"

Ending the sentence in an extremely hateful way, he spat at Avery's face and left too.

The shower of spot made Avery retreat back several steps in disgust and fear, and she would have fallen down but

Moore was vigilant enough to support her. He gently held her and cautioned, "Watch out Avery......"

Avery raised her teary face and looked at him piteously, "Moore, I really didn't want to know anything about Albert. And I didn't mean to walk into that room, let alone have any intention of spilling the beans in there. But I was too angry today to keep this a secret..."

"I know." Hearing this, Moore comforted her, "Don't think about this now. You did nothing wrong. It's Albert who doesn't trust you about anything, and it's him who has been forcing you into things you don't want to do. Now that Adolf has promised you three days off, we should make good use of this opportunity and try not to ruin it with such unhappy thoughts. Let's go back now! Jean is waiting for you at her house..."

"Yes, this is not your fault, Avery. It's just Albert being too pushy. It is time to brave up now, and wait and see. Time cures almost all ailments," Zed comforted her.

As Avery heard him, she tried to blink and hold back the tears that had come in her eyes. She looked at Moore, and then at Zed. "Thank you," She chirped a quick gratitude.

"Don't be so formal, treat us as your friends." Zed smiled as he opened the car door.

'Friends?'

Avery's eyes got even brighter on hearing the word and she looked at Moore.

Moore felt her do that and looked back out of instinct, nodding to her. "Yes, we are all your friends."

Hearing this, Avery smiled. And her smile was as bright as diamonds.

The car drove smoothly towards the Qi's mansion. And from the distance, they could see the light of the living room was on.

Zed checked the watch on his wrist as he drove into the parking lot.

His eyebrows twisted and he sighed, "Jean is being stubborn again. It's now four in the morning and she is still waiting for us."

Though he sounded like he was scolding Jean, the look on his face was still very much full of love.

"It's my bad, keeping you guys up all night. You haven't had any rest because of me," Avery blamed herself.

"Avery, I didn't mean anything by that." Hearing this, Zed felt that he had said something wrong.

He was just too worried about Jean and had said it out loud by instinct.

But it had hurt Avery's fragile feelings.

"Right, you have got to get used to this. They will show their affection for each other from time to time in the future. Don't over think it. You can take it as their normal everyday routine." Moore made fun of Zed. "Moore, you are so full of it." Zed drove the car slowly in the garage and refuted, "When did Jean and I show affection for each other in front of you? We are just some ordinary couple, alright?"

"You, and ordinary? Yeah, if you say so, Monsieur." Moore saw Jean walking out with a limp and stopped talking. He rushed out of the car before Zed had parked the car properly and ran towards Jean. "Moore......" Avery shouted in surprise, but then she saw that Moore was standing in front of Jean, speaking something angrily and scolding her.

No doubt that it must have been for Jean walking out with her foot injured.

Avery looked at this moment in astonishment and then a complex expression appeared on her face.

Why did she think this moment was somehow, cozy and harmonious a bit too much?

'Isn't Jean supposed to be Zed's wife?

Isn't Zed supposed to do this kind of thing?

Why Moore?

What are the relationships of these three?'

Avery couldn't help thinking about it and looked at Zed with a puzzled glance.

Zed had just parked the car and was walking in front of Avery. He smiled when he noticed her confusion.

"You can forget what Moore just said. But the scene of Moore scolding Jean, you're sure to see that often," Zed smiled at Avery and told her.

Avery was even more astonished now and asked, "Zed, don't you feel jealous about that? After all, Jean is your wife and Moore is robbing you of your rights."

"No, Avery, you are wrong if you really think about it that way," Zed shook his head and walked inside with Avery, trying to explain. "Jean and Moore are just friends. I trust them. And that is enough for me." 'Is that so?

Why is Zed not jealous of this?

Are they really just friends?

Why am I feeling so depressed?'

Avery walked with Zed but was preoccupied about Jean and Moore. When they got close, she could even hear Jean's piteous voice defending herself. "I'm okay, really. If you don't believe me I can show you..." "It's no use whether you convince me or not. Zed is here, and let's see if he believes that." Moore was still angry in the end as he stepped aside and Zed took a look.

Avery took a glance at Jean's sad face in surprise and was even more nonplussed when she turned her glance towards Moore.

He was still pretty angry, which was understandable but what shocked her even more was that he seemed to be blaming himself! Suddenly, Avery understood something.

It must be that Moore had something to do with Jean's injured foot. That was the only explanation.

And that was why he was being so caring and then blaming himself.

Having thought this through, the things that had been troubling her had gone and she looked at Jean with a smile. "Jean, sorry I am late."

"Avery, I just knew that they wouldn't stop until they had brought you here." Jean saw Avery and hid her embarrassment with a smile.

Seeing her happy, Avery felt better and smiled, "It's all my fault that you guys couldn't sleep well tonight. Besides you are pregnant......"

"Avery, if you treat me as your friend, you should stop being so polite," Jean stopped Avery from carrying on and said. "Let's head in! It's quite cold outside and you are not fully covered." "Okay." Avery nodded.

Zed walked to Jean, patted her on her head and sighed, "You are being naughty again!"

"No. I'm not, I took a nap in the living room just now," Jean explained.

"I really don't know how to be angry with you." Zed sighed and held Jean in his arms and then they walked into the house.
