Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Avery spoke with a smile, dissuading Jean from meddling in the talk between Moore and Hanley.

Hearing Avery's words, Jean was stunned for a second and stared at Avery. "It seems that you know Moore very well," said Jean.

"When we were still on the campus, I would remember every single detail about him," Avery replied as her smile got bigger.

Jean took a deep look at Avery and then put on a slight smile as she said, "He is lucky to have a friend like you. But unfortunately, he doesn't know that yet."

"Don't talk like that." Upon hearing Jean's words, Avery shook her head at once as she added, "I feel so lucky to have met him."

A hint of happiness glimmered in Avery's eyes as she watched Moore's back.

Jean was deeply touched seeing Avery's affection. Her desire to bring Moore and Avery together developed and got stronger.

But she was also aware that it would be hard for Moore to accept Avery. 'There is a lot of work to do,' her mind said.

Moore was such a strange guy and didn't even have feelings for Avery.

Jean thought silently for a moment and then looked up in Moore's direction. She found that Hanley was waving his hand towards Moore and started walking toward a Porsche which was not far from him. After the Porsche left, Moore turned around slowly and got back into the car.

Noticing no change in his face, Jean was a little disappointed.

Deep down Jean was aware that Hanley must be after something since he came to Moore.

However, Jean had to admit that Avery's words made sense and Jean shouldn't get herself involved in everything. Thinking of this, Jean didn't ask any questions.

She had to accept that Moore was capable of making his own decisions.

After all, it was his family and his life. Jean's duty as a friend was to support him.

Only he had the right to make a choice and it would be wrong to put forward her opinion.

The atmosphere in the car was silent. Moore didn't say anything but started the car without glancing at anyone.

Avery remained silent as well and Jean had no choice but to do the same.

They arrived at the hospital soon. Jean had her foot checked and then accompanied Avery to get a check-up. After everything was done, they ran into Adolf at the entrance of the hospital who seemed to be in a hurry. "Adolf!" Avery called his name as she was a little surprised to see him here at the moment.

Adolf turned around but couldn't find them at first. But when he heard Avery call him again, he looked up and nodded at them. He was also surprised to see them so he asked, "Are you here for a check up? What did the doctor say?"

"I have almost recovered," Avery replied. With confusion and worry on her face, she asked Adolf, "Are you sick since you seem to be in such a hurry?"

"No. I just got news that Albert has been admitted for alcohol poisoning. He is in this hospital so I am here to see him," Adolf explained bitterly.

"What?" Avery was astonished as she couldn't believe it.

Jean and Moore exchanged a look with each other as they were stunned by this news.

"I wasn't aware that he didn't return to the hotel last night. I didn't take it seriously. But when I just finished the meeting with the Qi Group in the morning, I received a call from the hospital. I don't know what's happening now but I am really disturbed with this news." Adolf paused for a second as he turned to Avery with a guilty look and added, "You go ahead and enjoy your rest. I'll go to visit Albert now."

After he finished his words, he walked away without waiting for an answer.

"Adolf, I'll come with you," Avery said in a hurry.

Upon hearing Avery's voice, Adolf stopped his pace and paused for a second. Astonished, he turned around and took a deep look at Avery before he nodded his head. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Okay."

And quickly, he walked directly to the emergency room and didn't wait for Avery to follow.

Avery turned around and looked at Jean and Moore as if she wanted to say sorry. "Moore, please send Jean back. I have to go to see Albert first."

"Avery, Albert behaved badly with you last night. Why are you going to visit him?" Jean couldn't help but ask in a startled tone.

"I owe Adolf too much," Avery explained with a sad smile. "Adolf has made a lot of sacrifices for me in the past few years. We are friends and also family to some extent. Even though he is strict with Albert, I know that he cares about Albert deep in his heart. So I need to keep Adolf company in this difficult time." Avery gave Jean another sorry look after she finished her words.

"Go ahead! Call Moore when you are done with it. I'll ask him to pick you up then." Jean nodded her head and put on a smile because she wanted to be supportive.

"Thank you." Avery was deeply touched by Jean's understanding and consideration. She gave Jean a tight hug and her heart was filled with gratitude.

"All right. Avery, you are so sweet. I'm getting more and more fond of you now." As Jean patted on Avery's shoulder, she couldn't help but tease Avery.

"It's an honor to be liked by you." Avery looked at Jean and smiled as she added, "I'll go now. You two be careful on your way back."

"Sure. Remember to take care of yourself and don't forget to have enough rest," Jean couldn't help but remind as she waved her hand for a goodbye. "All right." Avery put on a big smile as she turned around and headed to the emergency room.

After Avery left, Jean gave a sigh and said, "Time can be heartless sometimes. But it is also extremely emotional as it can change something so easily."

"What's the matter?" Hearing Jean's deep words, Moore frowned as he caught her and helped her walk out of the hospital.

"I just admire the relationship between Avery and Adolf. Did you notice that the relationship between them doesn't look like that between a manager and a celebrity any more?" Jean questioned.

"They've been together for four years. Even cold-hearted people would have gotten close by keeping each other company for so long," Moore said as he couldn't help but put on a smile.

He opened the door of the car and helped Jean sit down on the front seat.

"Really? Is four years long enough for people to facilitate their relationship?" Jean asked as she buckled up and watched Moore seat himself on the driver's seat.

"Of course." Not realizing the difference on Jean's face, Moore nodded his head.

"Then do you have any feelings for Avery as she has been liking you for such a long time?" Jean stared at Moore's face and asked all of a sudden. This question had been eating her alive and she wanted to know the answer to it very badly.

Moore paused as he was fastening his seat belt because Jean's question caught him off guard. He couldn't help but look up at Jean as his face turned a little pale.

"Jean..." Moore said with a hint of anger in his voice. "Why do you have to ask me that? Will you only be completely satisfied after you force me to accept Avery?"

"Why will I do that just to make myself satisfied?" Jean felt guilty at once when she found Moore was a little angry at the moment. She explained, "Avery is so nice. She is gorgeous and she has been loving you for so many years. I'm touched by her passion of love." "Then why don't you marry her since you are the one touched by her love?" Moore spat this question with anger and his fury magnified. 00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
