Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Jean watched him for a while and then turned to lie on her back. What did this man feel about her? It looked as if he didn't care and didn't love her. But what he did contradicted that impression.

She shook her head. Jean always overthought everything. And this time was no different. 'How could it be possible for this man to love me? If I hadn't been hurt because of him, he wouldn't feel guilty enough to buy the medicines.'

She closed her eyes and kept contemplating the situation. Eventually, she fell asleep.

The next morning, she heard a noise from the kitchen. She changed her clothes and stepped out of the bedroom. Jean was surprised to see that breakfast had already been served on the table in the living room.

Porridge, fried eggs, and noodles.

Only this much? It was much worse than the breakfast she had in Zed's house yesterday. She suddenly remembered that Zed only knew how to cook simple food. She pursed her lips as she turned toward the bathroom.

When she got out, two cups of milk had been added to the breakfast spread.

"Have some breakfast." Zed frowned as he looked at what he had placed on the table. He seemed pretty displeased.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked with confusion as she sat down and grabbed the cup of milk. She took a slow sip as she waited for Zed to reply.

He took a bite of the egg reluctantly before looking up, "When you stay in my villa, my fridge is full of food, but there's nothing to eat in your fridge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jean realized that he was upset because of how bare her fridge was. Looking at the breakfast on the table, she noticed that this was all that she had in the house. She smiled with embarrassment and explained, "I usually eat outside after getting off work. So I don't keep too much food in the fridge."

Zed pulled a face as he chewed on the egg he had just shoveled into his mouth. He put down the knife and the fork in his hands and then stood.

"Where are you going?" Jean asked surprised.

"Home!" Zed said curtly.

She raised her eyebrows, 'He is going back home for breakfast?' Jean continued to dig into her porridge. Although he didn't know how to cook many dishes, the porridge Zed made was good.

"Your leg is hurt. You should stay at home. Pack your things and I'll bring you to the villa." Zed said as he trashed the food in his plate.
