Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 163 Are You Out of Your Mind

John abruptly stopped and looked at the person that was walking towards him.

"Jean..." When he got no response from Jean, Ethan shouted her name again.

Jean was leaving when she noticed that someone was calling her name. She quickly turned her head

without thinking further. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

When she found out that it was Ethan who called her, the corner of her mouth twitched a bit and looked

very surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"It wasn't easy to find you!" Ethan walked towards Jean and looked at her from head to toe. He

wrapped her in his arms, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You scared the hell out of me! I thought I

won't see you again..."

"What are you talking about?" Jean struggled when Ethan tightly held her. She could not get free from

her arms, so she angrily shouted, "Ethan, let me go!"

However, Ethan was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear what Jean said. Even if he did, he

wouldn't let her go easily, though.

He had been dreaming about that hug for a very long time.

"She asked you to let her go." When he noticed what was going on there, John put a horrifying look on

his face and demanded in a gloomy tone.

Ethan loosened his tight embrace on Jean when he felt that danger was coming. Then he slowly turned

around and found out that John was standing right behind him.

"John, I suggest that you stay out of this. Or..." Ethan put a nasty look on his face and said, "You know

my connection to Sonny, right? Just with my word, I could get you fired from his company!"

John was not intimidated by Ethan and apathetically replied, "Yeah? I dare you to try!"

Jean was terrified by Ethan's reaction. When he finally let her go, she quickly took a few steps

backward.

When she realized that Ethan was threatening John, she got furious and yelled, "Ethan, are you

insane? What had John done to you that made you threaten him like that?"

Ethan felt so shocked that time. He looked at Jean unbelievably and asked her, "I can't believe that you

are taking that man's side!"

"I am not taking anyone's side." Jean said in anger. Then, she continued, "Look what you've just done

to me. We agreed that we would just be friends, right? Did you forget about that? Don't challenge me,

Ethan. Or else, I won't even treat you as my friend anymore."

"Jean, I care for you, and I love you. But you never even noticed and appreciated it. I tried everything

just to find the place you were shooting at, and rushed without any hesitations when I finally found you.

You have no idea how worried I was when I heard from the security that one of you fainted.

When I saw you standing right in front of me safe and sound, you didn't know how happy and excited I

was. I was just giving you a hug because I was happy to finally see you. More than that, I was just

trying to calm myself down. Did I do anything wrong? Is it wrong to hug you like a friend? Do you really

have a conscience, Jean Wen?

If you still think that I was wrong, then fine. I will apologize. I will apologize to you and to him. And

accept that it was all my fault. I should've not done that. It is I who don't have the rights to care for you,

or even hug you. My apologies. I will leave now, and I won't bother you anymore."

Ethan got really emotional. After he finished his words, he bowed down to Jean and John. Then, with

tears falling from his eyes, he turned around and left.

Jean was stunned that moment. She never expected that Ethan would be so worried about her, and

would do a lot for her after that call.

Moreover, he had just given her that strange hug because he was so concerned about her.

It was just normal for friends to hug each other, but she misunderstood him.

"Ethan..." Jean tried to call Ethan, but he kept on walking forward without turning his head. After few

tries, she got impatient and thoughtlessly followed him.

"Jean, don't!" John, who looked at her with a mix of subtle emotions, grabbed her hand and stopped

her.

"Let go of me, John!" Jean felt anxious and said, "I misunderstood him, so I should explain to him."

"Don't go, trust me." John shook his head with his face full of resolution.

"John, what are you worried about?" Jean, who was so confused, looked at John, burst into laughter

and said, "I will be fine. I know Ethan. I will be back in a minute. I promise you!"

After she finished her words, Jean threw John's hand and immediately chased Ethan.

John gazed at Jean's receding figure anxiously. He wanted to follow her. But when she remembered

that Maranda was still in hospital, he hesitated.

Ethan clearly showed his hatred towards John that night.

That was exactly what made him startled.

For Ethan, he was just nobody.

But that night, Ethan looked at him with such madness that seemed to tear him apart.

That made him even more startled.

No! He still had to follow her.

John made up his mind and ran after her.

However, when he was already out of the hospital, he couldn't see Jean and Ethan anywhere.

John got overwhelmingly anxious. He quickly took his phone out and called Jean.

The phone was ringing for a long time before someone picked it up. However, the person on the other

side of the phone seemed to be Maranda who said, "Jean is not here."

After a moment, Maranda hung the phone up.

John felt like he was struck by lightning that moment. He stood at the gate of the hospital and waited

for her. For the first time, he felt extreme incompetence.

'Jean, you have to be alright.'

Jean, who was out of breath, saw Ethan's tall figure when she went out of the hospital.

A sudden joy came to her. But when she was about to shout at and call Ethan, he got in the limousine.

There was no much time for her to think further. She immediately rushed to the center of the road and

stretched her arms wide open - unafraid of death.

Ethan shockingly hit the brake while his face turned pale. He looked at Jean and angrily shouted, "Are

you out of your mind?"

"Please listen to me, Ethan." Jean hurriedly spoke as she tried to explain everything.

Ethan looked at her with a mix of subtle feelings and said, "What do you want to say? Get into the car

first."

"I..." Jean felt embarrassed and hesitated.

She wanted to explain herself, but she didn't want to get into Ethan's car.

"What?" Ethan got impatient and continued, "Don't say it if you are reluctant."

Ethan said while he fiercely looked at her. After a while, he restarted the engine.

"Okay, wait. I will get into the car." Jean bit her lip and finally made up her mind.

What she hated most in her life was being misunderstood. And when she had the chance to explain

everything to him, she thought that a few minutes wouldn't hurt.

Jean quickly got into the car and fastened her seat belt. Then, Ethan drove the car away at a high

speed.

"Stop the car, Ethan, I just have few things to say. After that, I will go back." Jean desperately tried to

stop Ethan

Ethan gloomily looked at her and sarcastically asked her, "What were you trying to say? You can say it

now!"

Then, Ethan accelerated the car.
