Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 784 Having Fun
Jean and Arthur followed the ambulance to the hospital. On the way, Jean had been feeling down. She felt worn out because of the conflicts between Harold and her. Although Emelia and Nina had also been faced with troubles from the elders when they got married, most of the troubles came from their mother-in-law. However, hers were from her father. It was heartbreaking.
When they arrived at the hospital, Harold's attending doctor was delighted to see Arthur. While Arthur was discussing Harold's heart problem with the doctors, Jean waited outside the ward alone. She didn't want to walk in, in case Harold might argue with her again when he woke up.
She had been in a bad mood when Judith called to slander her.
"Jean Hilgard, you vicious bitch! You dragged Arthur to the City Hall and got married to him? You shameless woman!" Judith shouted at her on the phone.
Jean frowned. Where did Judith get the news?
Had the staff at the City Hall been spreading the news?
Or maybe it was Mario who told her?
If it was really him, she had no good impression of him now.
She had clearly told Mario that there stood no chance between him and her. He seemed to have accepted the fact, but he had been secretly making troubles for them. What was this? He was a cunning and sly man!
However, Jean had no time to think about Mario now. She had to handle Judith first.
She asked Judith in a calm tone, "We love each other, so we got married. How did it make me a shamed woman?"
"You are a shameless woman!" Judith shouted.
"You got married to him right after I fell in love with him! You did it on purpose! You scheming bitch, Jean. You looked quiet and innocent on the surface, now it seemed it was all your disguise!"
Judith scolded Jean.
At noon, Marco, Judith's father, and the mayor asked Arthur out for lunch and was humiliated. He had been in a bad mood since, therefore, when Judith asked him about Arthur, she was scolded by Marco, who later told her to give up on Arthur.
Pissed, Judith cried for a long time until she got news from a friend, saying that Arthur and Jean had gotten married this afternoon. She was furious.
If Arthur and Jean were simply dating, she could steal Arthur from Jean, although she might be called a bitch.
But now that they had gotten married, if she got between them, she would be called a mistress or a husband-stealer. How could she not be angry?
Hearing Judith's words, Jean arched her eyebrows. She hadn't thought that her marriage with Arthur could be interpreted as her declaring Arthur as hers so that women like Judith wouldn't stand a chance. But in fact, she did this only to get back at Harold.
"If you are willing to think about it that way, be my guest," Jean thought for a while and replied to Judith.
Normally, such words should come out of a man's mouth.
"You shameless bitch!" Judith was outraged by Jean's indifferent attitude.
If she could make Jean mad, she would feel better. At least she could ruin Jean's day. However, Jean wasn't angry at all, which only made her feel worse.
But it made sense. Jean was a psychiatrist, how could she not know what Judith was thinking?
Jean replied, "I am shameless. I was trying to keep him all to myself. What are you going to do about it?"
She continued, "I am Mrs. Hudgens now, and I hope you can stay away from my husband!"
Jean knew that she couldn't explain anything or defend herself to women like Judith, such attempts would only give them confidence.
What she should do was to take the names they gave her so that they had nothing more to say.
As expected, after Jean took the blame and emphasized her identity as Mrs. Hudgens, Judith only grew angrier and hung up the phone with an angry scream.
Jean put her phone back in her pocket with composure. She would never take the initiative to mess with anyone, but she wouldn't back off if someone tried to mess with her.
Moreover, from what Judith had done before, it was obvious that she was a stupid woman and not a match for a smart person like her. Jean wondered how Marco, a cunning old man, raised a daughter like Judith.
As soon as Jean looked up, she saw Arthur, who had just finished talking to the doctors, standing in the corridor and looking at her.
She had to be frank that Arthur was charming enough to make all women fall for him.
Of course, his appearance and temperament were one of the reasons she fell in love with him among all those men.
Thinking of this, Jean squinted.
She recalled Judith's words just now. Perhaps she was partly right.
She suddenly proposed to get married to Arthur partly because she wanted to keep him all to herself.
Judith and Marco had given her a sense of crisis about Arthur. She just hadn't had time to think deeper. She had thought she only got married to Arthur all of a sudden to prevent fights between her parents. Now it seemed that she was somewhat scheming.
Seeing that she had ended the phone call, Arthur strode over.
"Was it Judith?" Arthur asked in a low voice, holding her in his arms.
He had heard what Jean said at the end of the phone call just now.
He felt complicated. He was happy that Jean was possessive of him.
But at the same time, he was annoyed at Judith, who was harassing Jean. "Yeah," Jean admitted frankly, "I won."
Jean even felt a bit thrilled to get back at people who tried to ruin her day.
Arthur frowned, "We have to do something about it, or she will keep harassing you."
Jean smiled. "It's not a big deal. I win every time. When the time is right, I will do something about her."
Although Jean didn't like to pick on her own kind, Judith had to mess with her and she would get back at her.
If Jean really made a move someday, Judith would be doomed.
However, Arthur didn't agree. "No. I don't want you to handle it on your own."
Jean insisted, "But I'm having so much fun here."
Hearing this, Arthur smiled resignedly. "I didn't know you have such a hobby."
He had to say, women were strange animals.
He offered to deal with Judith because he didn't want her to be aggrieved, but she seemed glad to deal with Judith on her own.
"There are a lot of things about me that you don't know," Jean raised her head and said, "How is my dad?"
