Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

The atmosphere during the meal was a little bit silent, so Jean wanted to lighten up the mood. However, Jean observed that most of Avery's topics were about Moore. Moore, on the other side, just kept silent and had a cold look on his face. Seeing this, Jean had no other choice but to smile at Avery. After finishing the meal, Moore excused himself and went upstairs to have some rest. It was evident he just wanted to be alone.

After Moore's exit, Jean finally felt a little bit relieved. She turned her head to look at Avery sitting next to her. She wanted to explain what had happened just now to Avery in order to clarify her doubts.

But when her eyes stopped on Avery, she noticed that Avery was staring at Moore's back. There was a trace of sadness on her beautiful face.

"Avery..." No matter what, Jean wanted to come clean and explain everything to Avery. She could not help comforting her by saying, "Avery, listen to me. I want to explain to you that you have misunderstood what has happened just now. Moore and I are just friends. Don't think too much."

"Really? You are just friends?" Avery stared at Jean and asked her indifferently.

"Yes! We're just friends!" Jean saw that Avery was still unwilling to believe her, so she sighed helplessly. "Do you know how Moore and I met? I hit him with my car and the impact was so severe that he hardly woke up. It's all my fault. I was too careless at that time. But fortunately, Moore's mind was strong enough and he finally woke up. You know what? If he hadn't woken up, I would have blamed myself all my life!

You can never imagine how happy I was to watch him wake up. It's because of that accident that we became friends. After a while, I learned that H City was the place where he was born. He just missed his hometown, so he came back to stay here for a few days. However, he was hit by me, so he had to be sent to the hospital. Since then, many plans of his life were changed. But before Moore was discharged from the hospital, all the people in the Baí family came to the hospital. Their attitude towards him was very bad.

I can bet that you are totally unaware of Moore's real identity. He must have told you that he is an orphan, right? In fact, he is not just an orphan. Ordinary people can never imagine what had happened to him. He lives a tragic life. He lost her mother since his early childhood. As for his bastard father, he married another woman and abandoned his biological son for his official career.

Someone had secretly created a new identity for Moore as an orphan, and he somehow arranged a foreign couple to adopt Moore. Since then, Moore went to Chicago with that couple and he lived his life there. That's all his story. After he left the hospital, Zed and I convinced him to move in to prevent the Bai family from bothering him. You can never imagine that how shameless they are. I can do nothing for Moore but I'll try my best to protect him."

Jean sighed helplessly when she finished her speech. She looked at Avery's face and said frankly, "It may be true that Moore and I don't look like ordinary friends. Yes, that's true. That's because our friendship has gone beyond life and death. We trust each other and cherish each other's company. But it has nothing to do with the romantic love you are thinking about. That's all I want to say. You can believe it or not, but this is the truth."

Jean looked at Avery with a straightforward face after saying this.

It was obvious from Avery's face that she was shocked by Moore's story. After hearing what Jean had said, she stared at the flowers on the tea table. Apparently, she was lost in thoughts.

Jean knew that Avery needed some time to think about the story which she had just heard now. The story must have made her want to contemplate things, so she gave Avery the time she needed. Without disturbing her, Jean picked up an apple and began to peel it. In stunned state, Avery felt a little pain in her heart because she had never imagined that Moore's life was so rough. Knowing that he went through all this saddened her. Moreover, he pretended to be strong in front of her. It was a little hard to digest the fact he carried all this weight on his shoulder.

Before today, she only knew that Moore was an adopted orphan. Even that information sounded sad to her.

But now, after knowing the whole story of him, her heart ached.

'How rough his childhood must have been! Childhood is supposed to be time filled with joy and memories. And poor Moore lived this tragedy.

No wonder that he always wears a cold face and often refuses others. Now I understand the reason why he doesn't like to have dealings with strangers.

It's all because of his miserable childhood.

The people in the Bai family are all bastards! How can they treat Moore like some trash?' Avery thought with fury.

There appeared a trace of anger on Avery's face, and at this time she had already forgotten the unpleasant staircase scene. Now she only felt pity for Moore. Jean peeled the apple and handed it to Avery.

Then Avery regained her composure. She looked at Jean with some embarrassment and said, "Jean, I'm really sorry. I have misunderstood you. When I saw Moore holding you while going downstairs, I thought that your relationship was by no means as simple as a friend. I thought that you must have feelings for each other. Now after hearing what you have said, I begin to understand it. I believe that Moore and you are definitely very good friends. No, not just good friends. Just as what you have said, your friendship has already gone beyond life and death. You are sworn friends. Thank you. Thank you very much for helping him, supporting him, and encouraging him when he is in trouble. It's so nice of you to stand by his side."

Jean finally felt relieved when she heard Avery's words. She knew that Avery would not mind what had happened once she came to know the truth. She replied with a smile, "You've known Moore for so many years, so you must be familiar with his temperament very well. If he regards a person as his friend, then he has absolute trust in him or her. No matter if it is a man or a woman, he will treat his friend with all his heart. He's really a reliable friend. So, Avery, come on! I believe that Moore is going to like you."

"OK." Avery nodded her head and looked at Jean's face with a bitter smile. "Unfortunately, I've spent nearly four years' time during the college years to approach him, but I just failed to gain his love. And now, I have only three days. It's nearly impossible." "Don't be so negative," said Jean to stop her at once. "Yes, you used to make efforts alone, but now you have me. I'll try my best to help you."

Hearing what Jean had said, Avery's eyes lit up all of a sudden. She looked at Jean in surprise.

"You may rest assured. I'll try my best to make opportunities for you two to spend time with each other. But Avery, you have to keep in mind that I can only make opportunities for you. Whether you can succeed or not depends completely on you. Don't be too anxious. As long as you can make a good impression on him, everything will be fine. I think it won't take you much to make him fall. Once he enjoys your company, It means that there will be more opportunities for you two in the future,"

Jean looked at Avery and comforted her.

Indeed, it seemed nearly impossible to make Moore fall in love with Avery within three days. But Jean wanted it to happen as much as Avery did.

"Jean, thank you very much. I'm pretty sure about that. And I won't daydream, so you don't have to comfort me like this. This time, I have made up my mind to come out of the hospital with you. And my original intention is also to have more time to get along with Moore. I'm really satisfied to live under the same roof with him."

Avery was not overwhelmed by her emotion for Moore hence she still maintained her calm composure.

Jean could only sigh helplessly when she saw the bitter smile on Avery's face.

'Moore is really a stubborn man!

Avery is so beautiful and she has such a good temper. The most important thing is that she is infatuated with him. Why can't he just fall in love with her?

If I were him, then I would have already fallen in love with Avery.

Pitifully, I'm not him. I cannot decide for him, either, ' Jean complained secretly in her heart. But she still had to think about how to help Avery.

Jean and Avery chatted for a while. Realizing that she still had something to do later, she took out her cell phone and called Moore.

In truth, Jean didn't want to disturb Moore but Zed was still in the company, so today she had to bother Moore to go to the hospital with them. It was important for her to change the medicine on her ankle and Avery needed to have a further check-up as well. Moore answered the phone in a low voice, and then he appeared in front of Jean in a matter of few minutes.

When Moore arrived, Jean analyzed him from up to down. She slowly looked at his features and frowned a little.

'I still can't understand what makes Avery so crazy about you. Why is Avery head over heels in love with you? What made Avery remember you for so many years?' Jean wondered inside her head.

The more she stared at Moore, the more puzzled she got.

Maybe it was because Jean saw Moore go around her all the time recently. Or it could be because Jean was always surrounded by handsome guys, which made her pay less attention to the perfect look of a man.

But to be honest, Moore was indeed very handsome. Since he was discharged from the hospital, he had recovered very well. Besides, he often accompanied Jean to go around different places. He used to be a strong man. Now he started to gain weight because of the exercise in recent times.

His?features?were?strongly?defined and he did have a great pair of eyes. 'They are huge and attractive,' Jean finally agreed in her mind.

Moreover, his skin was even more delicate than most women. Lastly, he had a temperament that many women would find attractive.

"What are you looking at?" Moore asked Jean. He reached out his hand to touch his face and looked at Jean in bewilderment. 'Is there anything dirty on my face?' Moore thought. 000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
