My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)
Chapter 789 You Have Been Doing Great

Noticing Jean's awkward look, Abigail comforted her, "It's OK. You don't have to be embarrassed about it. I have to be honest as a doctor."

She glared at his son and said, "This is your fault. Don't you know how to be moderate? You should take good care of your wife."

Arthur didn't know how to say it.

He was too shy to say that he and Jean haven't had sex for days. Not until last night did he get to kiss her lips. With the idea that this should be their first night after marriage, he got so carried away. Besides, it was Jean who jumped into his arms. He was just responding to her. However, Arthur had no choice but to swallow his mother's scolding with his head down.

"The dinner is ready." Brandon at this moment shouted in the kitchen, rescuing them from their current embarrassment.

They had dinner in a harmonious atmosphere. In the meantime, Harold was busy welcoming his guest, Mario.

Mario insisted on paying a visit to Harold's house once he learned that Harold has been discharged from the hospital. After sitting down, he curiously asked after noticing the new tea set, "Harold, since when did you change your tea set?" Harold told him the truth though very unwillingly, "Arthur gave it to me."

Mario was stunned. The previous one was from him no long ago. But now Harold just threw it away. How quick people loath the old and pursue the new.

But he didn't show his dissatisfaction. Pretending to be indifferent, he asked, "Using his tea set, does that mean you have accepted him?"

Harold was frustrated, "What can I do except accept him? They have gotten a wedding certificate. Do I have the right to force them to get a divorce?" Harold waved his hands and said, "I can't be that disgraced."

Harold then sighed deeply, "Let it be. Let her do what she wants. I am afraid my body can't take this if the conflicts last."

People dread death, with Harold being no exception.

Especially after a series of issues with his physical conditions, he got terrified.

Isn't it good to be alive?

Isn't it great to live an affluent and satisfactory life?

Why does he have to be so stubborn and end up with nothing?

People take nothing with them once they pass away.

"That is true. Your body can't withstand emotional turbulence of this kind." Mario showed his concerns, though not honestly.

Harold was sorry for him. He looked at Mario and said, "Since Jean is married now, you should stop wasting time on her. There are plenty of good girls in Zoshalor.

"I know." Mario was disappointed.

But he loved Jean so much. How can he get over it?

Harold added, "And the reason why I hired you to be the economic counselor of Lorlene Jewelry before was to create more opportunities for you two to stay alone. But now..."

Mario interrupted Harold and said in a self-mocking way, "I totally understand that. And I will quit my job soon."

Harold let out a sigh at his consideration, "It never occurred to me that they will get married without asking. I really want you two to be together..."

"Please don't feel sorry for me. Maybe it's the timing that is not right." Excepting comforting him, what else can Mario say?

Now Mario was well awakened to the realization that he shouldn't count on Harold from the very first beginning.

He should work on his own.

Jean and Arthur saw Abigail and Brandon off at the airport as they departed for a foreign country. Before their leaving, Abigail held Jean's hands and said, "Call me if he does anything wrong to you. And I will discipline him for you.

Surpassing her urge to laugh at this, Jean answered, "He is really great."

Abigail was so nice as a mother-in-law who was always on her side.

Jean was so glad that she chose to marry Arthur. Arthur was a good man at present, and so were his parents. His family was in a harmonious atmosphere and she really liked it.

After seeing them off, Arthur said to her on the way back, "There's a party tonight. You want to come?"

Jean sighed, "I wish. But I have a design plan to revise."

"Well then. You should do your job." Arthur said with pity, "I was thinking about announcing our relations at tonight's party"

"But it's fine because I can announce it myself." He grinned, "I will tell everyone I meet at the party that I married Jean."

Jean was speechless.

"You are such a child." She said.

Arthur protested, "Why can't I be a child. I just want to tell the world about our relationship so that people like Mario will have to give up chasing you."

"But you still can't spread the word to everyone. This is too embarrassing." Jean can't even picture that scene.

Arthur insisted, "But the opportunity is not much seen. I am quitting every social gathering for you in the future. All my time is reserved for you except working."

Unlike other girls who wanted to be accompanied by boyfriends or husbands all the time, Jean was not that attached to Arthur and had no such hope that Arthur was with her as soon as he had time. They might get tired of each other.

Looking at Arthur's serious expression, she didn't say it.

Arthur said gently, "It was me that needs you. I want to be with you. I'd rather spend time with you than attend those tedious parties."

"We can watch movies or chat. I'm happy to stay with you even if we do nothing at all."

Arthur was even more excited about it, "When all of this ends, and the hospital is on the right track, I will learn how to cook."

Jean was surprised by it and hurriedly said, "You really don't have to do this. I didn't have much expectation of you. My mother would ask us to go to her place for meals every day. Even if it's just two of us alone, you don't have to learn how to cook."

Her mother liked Arthur so much that she would probably be in charge of all meals in a day when she got back from a trip.

Arthur didn't respond to her directly but instead sighed, "I couldn't understand before why Julian would like to hire a chief at a high price to teach him how to cook while he can pay the best cook to cook their meals."

"It's because he loves her so much. He always wanted to give his beloved the best. He wished to do this on his own even if it's just a dinner."

Although she thought it was an unreasonable idea, Jean was deeply touched. She said in a soft voice, "You have been doing great."

"No. That's far from enough." Arthur firmly said, "I can be better."

Jean was unable to convince him and had to let it go.
