Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Jean had stood by the door of Zed's villa for about half an hour already before a black car slowly drove in.

Zed parked his car. He got out of his car and saw Jean huddling herself against the cold wind.

He frowned, walked towards her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I..." Jean bit her lower lip. She didn't know how to initiate a conversation with him. While she was eating earlier, she had already planned to talk with Zed. 'Since I can't do Zed's request, the only thing I can do now is to persuade him to change his mind in person,' she thought.

Zed stood there for a moment while waiting for Jean's answer. However, Jean still didn't say any word. He became impatient and turned around to open the villa's door. Before he entered his house, Zed stopped for a while to wait for Jean to go with him. After Jean saw him open the door, she immediately entered. It was so much warmer inside the room. She gazed at the living room and suddenly recalled the days she had spent there.

Jean thought, 'If we had just treated each other with affection during those days, it would have been very wonderful moments.'

"Are you beginning to miss the joyful days we spent here? Do you want to come back now?" Zed asked. He opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of water for himself. Then, he sat on the sofa and looked at Jean with great interest.

"I worked hard and tried my best to give you great photos. Can you just accept them? Please don't ask me to take another one. I'll gladly appreciate it."

"Is that the reason why you came here?" Zed put the bottle down and felt slightly displeased.

Jean shook her head and continued to speak gently, "No. Actually, there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

Jean took an envelope out from her pocket and put it on the coffee table. "I borrowed some money from you at Kim Village. So I came here to return it." Jean said.

"Return the money?" Zed grumbled. He turned sulky after he heard Jean's words.

Zed had been working at his office before he got home. For one random moment, he wanted to check where Jean was. He checked his phone and found that Jean was at his house. It made him fluster and quickly drive home.

When Zed saw Jean wearing only thin clothes, he was worried that she might had caught a cold. He thought that the only reason Jean came here was that she wanted to be with him. However, it turned out that she went there just to pay the money back. Zed suddenly became gloomy and bitter.

"Jean, you're such a stupid, arrogant woman!" Zed got up and approached Jean slowly. She stepped back in fear and stared uncomfortably at the money.

"What made him outraged? Is it the money I returned to him?" Jean asked herself.

Zed made Jean intimidated. She felt a bit afraid.

He moved forward step by step which forced Jean to move back slowly. Unfortunately, she couldn't step back farther and leaned against the wall.

Zed, being pressed up right against Jean, looked down at her. His body warmed her. Moreover, it reminded Jean of the intimate romances they had in that house.

"Zed, you... Let me go." She felt too uneasy to say another word. Her cheeks were as red as an apple.

Zed thought it was funny. Then he jokingly said, "What's wrong? Have you turned rusty just within a month? You used to be very passionate with me in this house before." Jean's cheeks blushed after hearing what Zed had said.

What Zed said was like a thorn in her heart. It made her feel miserable.

Zed put his cold lips right to her ear. His warm breath in her ear sent chills down to her spine.

She was lost and enjoyed the moment with her eyes slowly closing.

Zed gently clasped her neck as he opened his mouth and said, "I think you became more feminine and alluring than before. Is it because you have slept with more men?" Zed said apathetically. Apparently, Jean sensed his irony.

His words got Jean back to her senses and quickly opened her eyes. The desire that was evident in her eyes suddenly disappeared. She felt cold down to her bones. "You've never really trusted me." She took a deep breath and looked at him coldly, "Since you said that I've slept with many men, please put your hands off me. I am dirty."

The word 'dirty' made Zed look at her surprisingly. Suddenly, he pondered if his words were too harsh for Jean.

Jean had planned to tell Zed that Ethan visited her at Kim Village after he left. Sadly, Zed had been considering her as such a filthy woman.

She felt like her heart had been stabbed with a knife and was bleeding.

Then she thought, 'Zed can't live with a woman like me. We are different in all our ways. There is no reason for me to be so persistent at him.

Just as Eva said, she and Zed were perfect for each other.

While here I am, just an average person. If I'll still be with Zed, people will think that I am absolutely out of his league.

It would be better if I divorce Zed as soon as possible.'

"Since you think that I'm dirty, we should divorce immediately. If you're afraid that your company might be affected by it, we can keep it to ourselves. Then, you can choose the right time to open it up to anyone," Jean said. It seemed like there was nothing left for her anymore.

"Jean hasn't changed. She's still thinking about divorcing me," Zed said to himself.

Zed was supposed to feel sorry and regret what he had said to Jean. However, he just let her go. He coldly stared at her delicate face and sneered, "Your father forced you to marry me. I don't think you have the right to decide a divorce by yourself."

Zed fixed his tie and raised his eyebrows lightly. Then he smiled and said, "You came here to beg me to accept your photos, right?" He stood from the sofa and patted the seat next to him, "If you'll make me happy tonight, I might consider your request." Jean was already used to Zed's arrogant behavior. So she thought, 'As long as I won't give so much affection on him, I won't get hurt and I won't have anything to lose.'

"Okay!"

Before she came to Zed's villa, Jean already expected what he would say to her or ask her to do. So she had emotionally prepared herself for it. 'In fact, Zed just wanted to humiliate me.

If that's what he really wants, then I will submit to his wishes as much as possible.' Jean said to herself.

She took off her upper clothes with a blank face. Her long hair fell on her shoulders. The soft light made her fine features even more beautiful. Her fair skin was slowly revealed as her clothes fell which made her even more alluring.

But Zed didn't pay any attention to her that time. He tried his best to calm himself down.

Jean didn't know what to do next after she realized that Zed didn't move. She thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." Then, she entered the bedroom that she had stayed in before.

It was quiet in the room. People could only hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. She just stood in the bathroom and let the warm water fall all over her.

Her eyes were filled with tears. She felt a bit sad and slowly closed her eyes with her fingers tightly grasping her palms.

After taking a bath, Jean lay in bed. She was a bit anxious when she was carefully listening to the footsteps outside the bedroom. She waited in bed for quite a while, but there weren't any movements still.

She waited more until she fell asleep. She seemed to have a dream. In her dream, she was comfortably sleeping within a warm embrace.

When Jean woke up, she didn't find Zed immediately. A ray of sunlight beamed from the window. She stayed in the warmth of the sunshine for a few moments. After a while, she got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then, she went downstairs to look for Zed. She searched every inch of the villa, but she couldn't still find him.

She felt hungry, so she opened the refrigerator. But sadly, she couldn't find anything to eat. D☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
