Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"All right, I'll get to the point." There was a bitter smile on Moore's face. "Last night, I told Zed and Jean that I am going to move out," Moore continued.

"And then?" Avery asked. She was shocked. But she didn't show any expression on her face.

Moore hadn't mentioned anything to her before about his decision to move out from their house.

"I know that Zed and Jean aren't happy for me to move out at this time. But I have made up my mind. They have no choice but to accept it. Jean didn't say anything, but I could tell that she was unhappy. Besides, Zed and Jean had a fall out with each other last night because of Jean's primary school classmate. So Jean and I went out to see her classmate to talk things through. Although I knew that it was just an excuse for Jean, she really only wanted to buy me more suits."

Moore told Avery everything that happened that morning. When he had finally finished, he sighed deeply. "Who would have thought that Jean's primary school classmate is Edna's nephew? Jean was so angry with him when she found out that. Anyway, she wants me to look my best tonight when I show up, just like you do."

"It's all right. You don't need to explain anything." Avery blushed with shame. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you only liked the suits that Jean bought for you, regardless of my feelings. I was being oversensitive."

"Avery, how could I think less of your generosity?" Moore smiled to comfort her. "It's not your fault. Jean would be upset if she knew that you felt that way."

"I know. I won't think like that next time," Avery nodded and promised.

"There is no next time. I am going to move out the day after tomorrow. So there won't be any reason to misunderstand Jean and me anymore." Moore looked at Avery and made fun of her intentionally.

Avery's face blushed again, but this time with shyness. "Moore, I know I misunderstood you. I am sorry. Please stop making fun of me," Avery said in a spoiled tone.

They both burst into laughter.

Jean had been eavesdropping the whole time outside the door. When she heard the laughter she felt relieved.

Satisfied, she yawned and quietly turned to go to her room.

She did notice that Avery was upset about something just now.

'So, it was because I bought Moore the suits?' she thought, as she walked back to her room.

'I didn't know that Avery had already bought suits for him as well. If I knew this, it would have saved me a lot of time this morning. I am exhausted.

Well, I can understand now why Avery was so angry today. Maybe I over did it.

Moore has a girlfriend now. It's her responsibility to prepare suits for him.

As an international superstar and his girlfriend, Avery can look after him better than me.'

Jean thought as she lay on the soft bed and closed her eyes, soon drifting off to sleep.

Moore and Avery had no idea that they were both overheard by Jean. Avery felt very happy and content being with him at this moment.

"Moore, are you moving out because of me?" she asked, looking at Moore.

For a moment his heart skipped a beat at her question. But then a smile appeared on his face. "Yeah, now that you have decided to stay in China for a while, I have decided to make a move of my own." "What move?" Avery asked puzzled.

"I can't live in their house forever. Now that I am well again, It's time that I stand on my own two feet. Otherwise, how can I look after you if I can't support myself?"

Moore answered carefully.

"Moore, you are still not as healthy as you think. There is no need to hurry. Just tell me if you are short of money. I..."

Moore stopped Avery before she could finish.

"Avery, don't say that again! I am a man. It is my responsibility to earn the money to support my family, not yours. I sincerely hope that I am able to offer you a comfortable and stable life. So please just respect my personal choice. Is that all right?" Moore said sternly.

"All right." Avery was stunned but then nodded quickly. "I promise I won't say that again. I apologize for my words."

'How could I have forgotten how proud Moore is? He would never ask me for money! I must be crazy for even thinking that, ' Avery thought to herself.

Moore's face slowly relaxed at Avery's words.

"You don't have to apologize to me. I was a bit harsh. Please don't take it to heart. Don't worry yourself. Zed asked me to work in his company. So I won't be hard up for money,"

Moore sighed explaining to her.

"What did you say? Work in Zed's company?" Avery's eyes widened as she asked in surprise.

"Yes." Moore nodded and went on. "My major was business administration. Which company I work for makes no difference to me. Besides, Jean will need more care in the future. If I work in Zed's company, he will have more time to take care of Jean." "It sounds reasonable." Avery nodded agreeing. "You're right. Jean's belly will grow bigger and bigger and she will need Zed to help her. He believes in you so much that he is happy for you to be there to help him. No wonder, Jean had bought you so many suits this morning."

Moore frowned at Avery's words.

He seemed rather unhappy about Avery's comment.

'She makes it sound as though the only reason Jean bought me the suits this morning was to thank me for deciding to work in Zed's company.

Did Jean do this with an ulterior motive?

Or is it Avery who has some other meanings by saying this?'

Moore studied Avery's face questioningly as he thought to himself. Avery was looking back at him with a bright smile unaware of his suspicion.

Was it just his imagination? Perhaps he was being over-sensitive. Moore then smiled back at Avery.

'That can't be true. I am sure Avery didn't mean to say that...'

"Moore, Juan is coming to H City the day after tomorrow. Can you pick him up at the airport with me?" Avery suddenly asked interrupting Moore's thoughts. "Are you sure that I should go with you? He may find out about our relationship?"

Moore asked in surprise.

He thought stars were supposed to keep their personal lives a secret, including Avery.

Otherwise, lies and slander generated from the media, fans and social media could bring trouble to Avery's career and have bad impact on their relationship as well. That was why many agencies didn't allow celebrities to have a love affair.

He couldn't understand why Avery wanted to be seen with him and take the risk.

"It doesn't matter. Juan and Zed are good friends. Do you think that we could really hide our relationship from him?" Avery couldn't help laughing when she answered. Moore felt a little embarrassed and responded with a sour smile.

He had indeed forgotten that Juan and Zed were close friends. Even if Avery wanted to hide their relationship from him, he would have guessed eventually.

"Oh, I just forgot. Okay, I will pick him up at the airport with you," Moore said and nodded. 0000000
