Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Moore was her friend, and Edna was Moore's stepmother.

The Qi family would never be at peace if Jade found out Moore's identity. 'What should I do?' thought Jean.

As Jean thought of that, she suddenly felt anxious and looked at Zed.

Zed was worried about this matter too. He sighed gently and fixed his gaze on Jean. Then he turned to look at Sean.

Sean had known Moore's identity, so he was the only one that could handle the situation at the moment.

However, Sean only cared about Jade. He didn't realize that Zed was looking at him.

Sean had tried his best to calm Jade down. He sighed when he saw Jade was no that angry. He looked up and realized that both Zed and Jean were staring at him. It really confused him.

It was not until Zed tipped him a wink that he understood what Zed meant.

Sean felt pity for Jade as he saw her gloomy face. He hesitated for a while and then asked, "Jade, as you don't want to see Edna, should we go back to the Imperial Capital first? Zed and Jean will go back to the Imperial Capital soon too. When that time comes, we can ask them to stay for a couple of days."

Suddenly, Jean and Zed sighed in relief.

The two of them felt happy that they had told Sean about Moore's identity. If not, the situation would become tougher without Sean at their side.

"Why should I go back? Do I have to avoid her just because she has come back? Do you think that I am scared of her? Why?"

Jade said angrily.

Both Zed and Jean were suddenly shocked because they had not expected Jade to say something like that. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

'It is true that my mother would find it quite impossible to keep her distance from Edna after she knows that Edna has come back.

After all, it was Edna who had to apologize. How could my mother distance herself from her?"

thought Zed. He suddenly felt his headache.

"You can stay if you want to. No one will tell you otherwise." Sean had expected those words to be said by Jade. With a blank face, he sighed and continued, "But have you thought about this or not? If you stay, Edna will definitely find you. I am sure that you won't be able to withstand her. You will obviously fight with her.

I am afraid that you might harm her or yourself physically. Besides, Jean is pregnant. She and Zed would definitely get worried if you stay. Is that what you want? You want to stay, only because you want to spend some time with your son and daughter-in-law. But if they get worried because of you, don't you think it's better that you leave?"

Sean tried his best to convince Jade.

Zed and Jean sighed in relief as they heard Sean's words.

"What's wrong with you today? Why do you just want me to leave?" Jade looked at Sean doubtfully.

As soon as they heard Jade's words, Zed and Jean looked at each other. Both of them felt nervous.

"Jade, you are thinking too much!" Sean felt helpless and so he sighed. "I just want the best for you. You will surely be in a bad mood as soon as you see Edna. So it's better if you don't see her. Let's go back to the Imperial Capital and fulfil our duty. We should be looking after our father. That is much better than seeing someone that we don't want to see. Am I right?"

"Won't you regret it later that you couldn't see Edna in person? Honestly, the two of you haven't seen each other for 20 years. Right?" Jade asked as she sneered at Sean.

"I don't think she is worthy enough for my time. Why do I have to see her?" Sean sneered upon hearing Jade's words. Then, he immediately added, "Well, that's enough! We have been together for a very long time. You should know that you are always in my heart. Just don't say things like this in front of our children. They will laugh at us."

Jade's anger faded as she heard Sean's comforting words in front of their children. She was relieved. She then added, "Okay. I will forgive your past deeds, but I won't leave."

"Jade, since you forgave me, why do you still want to stay here?" Sean asked her in confusion.

"I have come here to see my son, daughter-in-law and their unborn child. I will not change my mind no matter what. Hence, you shouldn't persuade me. I will try my best to work things out if Edna shows up to see me."

Jade said "work things out" in a very serious tone. Everyone instantly knew her intentions behind those words.

Zed and Jean glanced at each other and sighed.

It seemed that there was no way that their mother was to leave.

"Mother. Just stay if you want to! You can stay with me for a couple of days." Jean smiled as soon as she found out that Jade had made up her mind.

She had no choice but to let everything work out by itself.

"Jean, you are so sensible!" Jade smiled as she heard what Jean said. She then looked at Zed and Sean furiously before taking Jean's hands in hers and chatting with her.

Sean and Zed walked to a corner and whispered to each other in a stern tone.

"Zed, accept this already! It has been years since that happened. I think that your mother has forgotten all about that and forgiven me," Sean comforted Zed, but he knew that Zed wouldn't believe a word that he said.

"Father, you should always be with my mother, and please don't let her go outside alone," said Zed as he was worried about his mother. A while later, he added, "I think that Edna will come here tomorrow. You have to call me if she shows up."

"Okay!" Sean nodded and then continued, "Don't worry! Your mother won't do anything if Edna really comes here."

"The problem is not my mother," Zed said seriously. "20 years have passed. You know who Edna really is. She won't have to do anything, yet many people would do the work for her. I am not sure what she thinks about the previous incident. But I suggest you to be careful at all times." "Zed, you think that Edna might get angry at what happened in the past and get even with us, just because she is powerful now?" Sean suddenly frowned.

"This is how I've put it together. After all, Moore is at our home now." Zed sighed.

He didn't know what the incident in the past was about, so he had let Moore move into their house without thinking too much.

Edna would complicate things even more if she supported Hanley, her biological son.

Zed still hoped that he was overthinking.

He saw Edna today and he concluded that Edna was well-educated, although she gave birth to Hanley, who dealt with Moore cruelly. This made Zed quite upset.

"Okay, I know what you mean." Sean immediately understood what Zed meant and so he nodded. "I will pay close attention to that." "Hmm." Zed had to explain everything before he could sigh in relief.

As it was too late, the two of them stoppep talking and walked to the ladies. 0000
