Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 487 I Believe You

"Mother..." Zed glared at Jade, looking extremely pale.

He felt that his mother had started to intervene more and more with his businesses.

"Mother..." At last, Jean couldn't help speaking up. Instead of any anger and embarrassment, Jean had

a smile on her face. "I remember that I have explained to you and my father earlier. I accidentally

crashed into Moore when he came to the H City. Thereafter, he had been hospitalized. Moore was a

stranger in this city. With no one to go to, Zed and I decided to let him stay here."

She continued,"So yes, Moore is my friend. But please don't think our relationship to be something

else. Moore and I are purely friends. Nothing more. I am not fearful of your doubt about my relationship

with Moore because I know how pure it is. If you really don't want Moore to stay here, then I will go

downstairs and explain it to him clearly. He will definitely make some other arrangements. I will tell him

that my mother-in-law is doubtful about our relationship."

"You..." Jade looked at Jean with anger and said,"Don't think that I won't ask Moore to move out just

because of your words. You shouldn't let a strange man move in if you want the Qi family to be

peaceful."

"Mother, how many times do I have to repeat so that you could understand? Moore isn't a stranger. He

is my friend," Jean explained patiently, with her gaze fixated on Jade. "I don't care if you believe it or

not, but I have explained it to you so many times. I have a clear conscience."

"Do you have a clear conscience? Jean, have you forgotten that you are the daughter-in-law of the Qi

Family? Are you doing this to humiliate Zed? You hang out with another man so intimately in public.

Have you thought about Zed's feelings?"

Jade questioned her furiously.

"Zed, you tell me. Do you feel uncomfortable and think ill of my relationship with Moore?" Jean

involuntarily asked Zed as she amusingly gazed at Jade, who looked very nervous while she waited for

Zed's reply.

Zed heaved a gentle sigh as soon as Jean dropped the question. A while later, he replied to Jean in a

gentle and low voice,"I believe you! And I believe Moore too!"

The most beautiful smile ran across her face as soon as Jean heard Zed speak those words out. These

words brought a tinge of excitement across Jean's eyes.

Jean knew that the man she loved wasn't mean enough to blame her pure friendship.

As for Jade, it was reasonable for her to do this for the sake of her son.

She didn't know about the real situation, so it was natural for her to think that Jean's relationship with

Moore was impure. When it came to Jade, Jean felt hopeless. She had no way to explain things to her.

'What do I have to do in order to make her believe me?' she wondered.

In the current situation, Jean thought only Zed could help and console Jade.

Unexpectedly, Jade was so angry that her face turned livid as soon as she heard Zed's reply. She

stared at Zed a little angrily and said while stamping her feet,"Zed, what shall I say to you? How can

you rest so assured when your wife is so intimate with another man? How can you be so careless and

generous?"

"Mother..." Zed sighed all of a sudden upon hearing what Jade had said. After moments of silence, he

said,"I am not careless or generous. It is only because I believe Jean. Jean and I have experienced a

lot of hardships in our love. Why did I marry her if I even didn't believe her? Why am I having a baby

with her? I have done this just because I love her! Trust is the most important thing when it comes to

love. Without trust, love is pointless.

You and my father unconditionally believe and trust each other, don't you? Previously, you saw my

father and Edna hugging each other. You had an abortion because of the scene that took place in front

of you. Your reaction was so fierce. But after that, you didn't leave my father. Instead, the two of you

still live together as affectionately as before. Am I right? What is the meaning of marriage if a couple

doesn't even trust each other?"

Zed asked back, looking at Jade with his deep eyes.

Jade's face turned livid and pale after this question was asked. After staring at Zed blankly for quite a

long while, Jade laughed miserably at last and said,"Do you think I forgave your father as if nothing had

happened because I really trusted him?"

Both Zed and Jean were shocked by Jade's words. The two of them involuntarily became dazed for a

moment, looking at Jade in confusion.

"Zed, I didn't leave your father only because of you. I hoped that you could live happily in a complete

family. Edna would have become your stepmother if I left the Qi family. Zed, I knew this clearly, so

everything I did was for your sake. I still don't care very much about your father."

Jade finished with a look of grievance.

"Mother..." Zed was very shocked. Guilt and great pain flashed across his eyes.

"You have grown up and have your own life. Your father and I finally have time to travel around these

years. We take the opportunity to relax. Now we have become open-minded and felt relieved about our

past. Afterward, I have realized that your father treats me well, so I have slowly let bygones be

bygones. Perhaps you are right. Mutual trust is the most fundamental thing for a couple in a marriage.

Since the two of you have promised me that Jean and Moore are pure friends, I hope that you can

maintain a distance. Don't give people a reason to point their fingers at you. Jean, I don't mean to be

rude. Zed is my son. What's more, he is all I have.

Now, you are going to be a mother. Very soon, you will be able to understand why I am always so

worried about him. Parents tend to worry about their children, who are their greatest concerns however

old they are. Now, I am handing you the task of taking care of Zed. Please don't hurt my Zed."

"Mother..." Zed's eyes got wet with tears after hearing his mother's words.

"Mother, please rest assured. I promise that I will not hurt Zed." Jean was also moved by Jade's words.

She affectionately said,"As you know, my mother passed away when I was a little kid. Hence, I treat

you as my mother and will give you equal respect. We can be honest with each other. If I did something

wrong, you would tell me anytime. I'll put it right.

"Jean, don't make yourself sad after listening to my words. Please don't mind me." Jade was a little

astonished after hearing what Jean had said.

"To be frank, anyone who hears these words will take offence." All of a sudden, Jean smiled. A while

later, she added,"But I'll be open-minded because I respect you. Perhaps I was doing something

wrong. I might accidentally have done something that caused you to misunderstand my relationship

with Moore. Therefore, I will not bring you any more worries. I promise to pay more attention the next

time."

"Good girl." Jade smiled as soon as she heard Jean's words, and added,"I know that Zed hasn't been

wrong to marry you."

"Mother..." A great smile was shown on Zed's face upon hearing Jade's words. He paused and then

teased at her,"Previously, you always doubted my decision of marrying Jean."

"As you have indicated, it was 'previously'. Is it important for you to mention that again?" Jade furiously

asked on hearing Zed' curiosity.

Word failed Zed. He smiled at Jade awkwardly.

She involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief as she saw that Jade had been relieved. 'The problem is

sorted and everything is fine, ' Jean thought.

'Moore, it seems that I really have to keep some distance from you, ' she decided.

She didn't want to bring humiliation to the family.

As for Zed, she was glad to know he trusted her.

Yet the knowledge she had to be careful really worried her.

'You will be subject to greater troubles if you are mistaken by members of the Bai family. In fact, if

things get out of hand, then even Zed may end up doubting you, ' Jean warned herself.

There was a huge responsibility on Jean's shoulder right now. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

At the thought of all these, Jean heaved a heavy sigh and her mood turned sour. But she turned and

noticed a smile on Zed's and Jade's faces. Somehow this scene brought a smile on her face too.
