Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 478 Bound To Know What Happened

"Yes, they do. As soon as Moore arrived in H City, the Bai family got the news." Zed nodded his head

as he added,"But Moore doesn't want to go back to the Bai family at any cost. Gary wants him to return

to the family, but not every member of the Bai family feels the same way. Anyway, the whole thing is

quite complicated which is why we have asked Moore to stay in our house. This way, he can avoid

being bothered by the Bai family."

"Don't let your mother know about Moore's identification," Sean warned Zed. He felt it wasn't right to

inform her now and decided that keeping it away from her was the best thing to do.

"Of course. That's why I am telling you about this in private. Please shed some light on what happened

between mother and Edna so that we can find the best solution to this problem. Besides, as long as Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Moore lives here, we have to deal with the Bai family."

Zed put on a bitter smile and waited for Sean's opinion.

Suddenly, Jean decided to do the talking. She echoed Zed's idea. "Yeah, father. Moore is alone in H

City and he doesn't have any friend here. He can only rely on us now."

"Okay. I get your point, so relax. I won't drive him away." As he heard Jean's words, Sean gave a sigh.

He added with a complicated look,"Actually, you both are bound to know what happened between your

mother and Edna. So I might as well just tell you about it."

Upon hearing that Sean was going to tell them what happened, Jean couldn't help but get nervous. Her

heartbeat quickened and she felt fidgety.

"Jean, sit down first." Zed saw Jean has been standing beside him so he asked her to sit down. He

realized that Jean was nervous as her fists were clenched tightly.

"Sure." Hearing Zed's words, Jean nodded as she held Zed's hand and sat down on the couch.

Sean saw the sweet couple in front of him and recalled something buried deeply in his heart. "Zed, you

could have had a younger sister. When you were four years old, your mother was pregnant and so

delighted about it. She was really careful during that period. So when Edna called her at midnight and

claimed that she was drunk at the bar, it's me who picked Edna's call instead of your mother. Your

mother was sound asleep.

Edna grew up with your mother since they were kids. In fact, they were like sisters. So I decided not to

wake your mother. Instead, I chose to pick Edna up by myself. But Edna was really drunk. In that state,

she started to talk nonsense."

A hint of painful look appeared on Sean's face as he recalled the moment.

"She was really beautiful and even more gorgeous in her drunken state. So when she tried to seduce

me, I got a little tempted at the moment. I am a normal man and easily got tempted by a woman as

gorgeous as Edna. Besides, she told me that she was in love with me for a long time. She went on to

explain in depth about how much she loved me. She said that she had to bury her love inside her heart

and couldn't tell anyone since I was her best friend's husband. She was in so much pain."

Zed and Jean sat stunned as they heard Sean's words.

In truth, Jean had thought that Jade and Edna broke up because of the involvement of a man.

But hearing that Sean was the man responsible, Jean was really startled. She couldn't believe that her

father-in-law was involved in this.

Edna had known that Sean was her best friend's husband but she still seduced him when she got

drunk.

'Did Sean cheat on Jade in the end?' wondered Jean.

"Though I was a little tempted, my love for your mother overpowered my temptation. Hence, I refused

Edna. Then I brought her to our home and told her to have a good rest. But when I was going to leave

the room, Edna rushed to me and wouldn't let me go. With her arms surrounding me, she cried her

heart out. I couldn't ignore her crying face and started to feel sorry for her. I knew why she suddenly

went to Imperial Capital and got so drunk. She did that because she was going to marry Gary, who had

lost his wife and lived with his son.

Edna's father was the mayor of H City back then. Gary needed his support as it was the key point of

Gary's political career. Therefore, Edna's father got interested in Gary and planned to marry his

daughter to Gary. Edna's father was indeed far-sighted as Gary was successful with his career once

they got married. But he sacrificed his daughter's happiness for the sake of career."

Sean couldn't help but stop and fall into silence.

"Father, after Edna hugged you, you didn't do anything that you felt sorry about later, did you?" Zed

asked as he was displeased with Sean changing the topic.

Sean felt sad at once and sighed, looking at Zed. "I didn't push Edna away when she surrounded me

with her arms. I started thinking about her miserable life and felt sympathy. And because of my

sympathy, your younger sister was killed."

Sean looked painful and guilty when he mentioned that.

"What happened?" Zed asked anxiously. The silence was killing him and he wanted everything out of

his father.

"Your mother woke up because of Edna's crying. She ran into the room and watched Edna hugging

me. Jade broke down at once and turned around, heading downstairs. The scene in front of me left me

scared. I felt my heartbeat stop at the moment. I pulled free from Edna's hug and ran after your mother.

Jade had been pregnant for six months when this happened. So she didn't manage to run away very

far before I caught up with her. Your mother was so sad and upset so she ordered me to stay away. I

wanted to explain it to her but she only cried and shook her head. We had a quarrel after that. If I hadn't

quarreled with her, then your sister wouldn't have died."

Speaking of that, Sean shed some tears. This guilt had been killing him for years.

Zed put on a painful look but he didn't interrupt Sean. He wanted to hear the whole story.

"We had a big quarrel and your mother couldn't stand it any more. When Edna entered, she completely

lost it. Finally, Jade turned around and ran downstairs. I was so anxious that I reached my hand to hold

her back. But your mother lost her balance and slipped down the stairs. When she finally stopped

rolling at the end of the stairs, she was lying in her own blood."

Sean couldn't help but sob as he tried to suppress his emotions. The scene of Jade lying on the ground

was crystal clear on his mind.

Zed and Jean reached out their hands and patted him on the back lightly to soothe him. However, they

had no idea what to say.

Misunderstandings always happen. They knew that nothing they said would soothe his pain.

"When we arrived at the hospital, the baby was already dead. Your mother looked at me as if she had

lost her soul. She didn't say anything except stay still like a statue. Edna visited her and apologized

after she heard about the incident. But Jade ignored her completely. The sight of Edna repelled her.

Seeing your mother so pale, Edna got angry and planned to provoke your mother.

Edna told Jade that if Jade was not going to get better soon, Edna would just take her husband and her

son, leaving her alone with the memory of her unborn baby. Edna was already well known in Imperial

Capital for her bad reputation. She didn't mind being evil one more time. Instead, all she wanted was to

help her friend. And your mother got angry at once. She summoned all her energy and drove Edna out

of the ward. From then on, Jade refused to see Edna ever again.
