"Stupid woman, do you know what love is?" he couldn't help asking. To be honest, he had always had
a doubt that such a silly and muddled fool as her, could she tell the difference between love, adoration,
and dependence?
"Of course I know. It is not that I have never loved before." She pouted.
His face was covered with shadow, which made him look particularly gloomy in the darkness. "Do you
love Hanson so much?"
Essie sighed in a low voice. Before he appeared in her life, she indeed loved Hanson very much, at
least she thought so. She continued, "I was infatuated with him when I first saw him in the campus. He
is the most handsome man I've ever seen, shining with sunshine all over his body... "
"I don't know which part of him is more handsome than me," he interrupted her with great discontent.
"Different types, okay?" She rolled her eyes at him. He must be a devil who had dominated the
universe in his previous life and always thought he was invincible.
"My type can easily defeat his," he said aggressively.
"Anyway, he is my first love. First love is the most special for everyone," she muttered.
"I am your first love!" Zac's dark eyes flashed a trace of fire. She fell in love with him at the age of
seven, but she forgot him damn later.
But this didn't seem to be the case for Essie. She kept shaking her head and said, "I was too young to
understand it at that time."
"You were young at that time, but you have a daring heart." Zac snorted. His cold face showed an
indescribable look in the darkness.
Essie crinkled her nose. "Icy guy, be honest with me. Did you have an affair with Leila at that time? You
were forced to get engaged to me under the pressure of the family. You don't want to marry me at all,
do you? "
Before she finished speaking, Zac flicked her on the forehead. This stupid woman! Her brain was full of
strange things. Why couldn't she have some normal thoughts?
Feeling wronged, Essie covered her forehead with her hand, wondering why he looked so angry? Even
if he hadn't fallen in love with Leila at that time, it didn't mean that he was willing to get engaged to her.
He didn't like her at all. Leila was his first love, the first woman he fell in love with.
"Even if I didn't leave, you would still fall in love with Leila." She said sourly, "If her surname is not Qin,
I'm afraid you would have been married long time ago. Your child would be old enough to run errands
for you now." As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She had liked him wishfully ever since she was a
Cathy. Now it was still the same. It was always her wishful love to him. He didn't care at all. He wouldn't
responded to her love He had already given his heart to Leila.
"You are such a stupid woman. There are not so many 'if' in this world." He was a little upset. It seemed
that she would never see his heart.
"Yes, you are right. There is no such an if now. Even she still carries the surname of Qin, you still
divorced me and marry her without hesitation." She felt like crying. While he was not noticing, she
climbed to the bedside table and grabbed the glass and bottle. Her heart ached and she needed to be
anaesthetized with alcohol.
Zac grabbed the bottle. "Stop drinking."
"It's none of your business, you wretch." She jumped to grab the bottle from his hand, but he took a big
stride to the window and threw it out directly.
"Why don't you let me drink it? I'm so sad. It's all your fault. Why don't you let me drink? I hate you! I
hate you! " She pounced on him like a madwoman, punching and kicking him, but he stood still,
allowing her to vent her anger.
When she felt tired, she fell to the ground and cried, "I always thought that I would not repeat mom's
tragedy and that I would not marry a bastard who has abandoned her. But I was wrong. I followed her
steps. Do you know why I didn't attend your wedding? Because I don't want to bless you two, you bitch
couple. I want God to punish you and make you divorce as soon as possible."
Zac squatted down in front of her and held her trembling shoulders. Her cry broke his heart. "Essie,
don't you remember? You abandoned me, again and again? "
She was shocked and raised her head. Through the dim light, she looked at him with tears, "Did I?"
"For the first time, you abandoned me and went to Yang City to find Hanson, and even eloped with him.
For the second time, you fled to America and stayed away from me for three years. You even didn't
care about me, and you and Hanson even..." He stopped, thinking that the matter of Mili and Dot was
just an accident. He didn't want to mention it again. "The third time, it is now, you want to be your
mommy's good girl, then you choose to sacrifice me. You have given me three divorce agreements, our
marriage, and I, in your eyes, are dispensable. You never thought to cherish them, you have never
thought to work hard to run them."
She was stunned.
Did she ever abandon him?
No, she didn't. She was just too desperate.
She shook her head and said in pain, "It's not my fault. It's all because of you. It's the first time that I
heard you said to Jim that I was stupid and confused. Every time you saw me, you would feel
headache, so I decided to leave. If you don't see me, you won't have a headache. The second time is
that you break your promise. You promised me that you would tell me the truth, then you backed out.
And our baby... "
She stopped saying. She had to protect the baby in her womb. Only by leaving could she give birth to
the baby safely. She shook her head and tears off her eyes. "Now that you are married, what else do I
need to work hard for? What else can I fight for?"
Zac's heart was trembling. He felt he had come back to life and regained hope. "You little fool, you still
love me."
"No, nothing." She denied, "I'm going to marry Hanson. I want to forget you, completely."
"I forbid you to marry him." His expression suddenly became fierce, and the fingers on her shoulders
tightened slightly. She was so irritated that she shook off his hand. "Since you're married, why can't I
get married? Do I deserve to be lonely all my life?"
"Only if you go through my body can you marry another man," he said firmly, fast and threatening. If
she really loved Hanson, if she had no feeling for him, he could let go of her and let her have what she
wanted. However, if she still had him in her heart, he would never give up even if it was only a little.
She stood up and stumbled to the window, looking at the boundless sea outside. "Why do you threaten
me with death, my mother and you are the same. In fact, all of you can live well. Let me die, then
everything will be fine. I'm so tired that I can hardly open my eyes," she murmured as if she was talking
to herself.
Zac ran over and pulled her into his arms. "Your mother forced you to leave me. Is that true?"
"It's over between us. Zac is over. It's really over." She was in his arms, tears streaming down her face.
"No, we won't be over. I won't let you leave me."
The next afternoon, sunshine shone through the windows, dispelling the darkness in the room.
When she woke up again, she felt dizzy. After drinking last night, she completely forgot what she had
done or what she had said. But she knew what happened as soon as she opened her eyes.
Damn it!
Her face instantly flushed crimson red like apples in Washington. She felt so embarrassed that she
wanted to hide herself in a hole there.
She was drunk and had sex with him...
She gave herself a hard blow on the head which made Zac wake up by the noise.
She was like a frightened cat when she met his deep black eyes. She wanted to turn over and escape,
but the bed was too narrow and she acted too fast that she rolled at the side of the bed immediately.
Fortunately, it was Zac pulled her back quickly. Otherwise, she would certainly hit the ground heavily.
"Nobody comes in. Why are you running away?" A mocking smile appeared on his face. He was a little
dissatisfied with her panic.
"I was drunk last night. Just forget it." She picked up the scattered clothes and put them on in a hurry.
He suddenly reached out his hand and pulled her back. Then he grabbed her arm and put it around his
neck. "Last night, you just hugged me like this. You begged me not to leave. Why did you change your
mind this morning?"
"I... I was drunk. Those were drunk words, craziness, and lies. You can't believe it. " Her two dark eyes
were rolling guiltily in her eyes.
"Alcohol makes the cat speak. You don't want me to leave and you never admit it." He sneered, his
deep eyes gleaming abnormally sharp in the sunlight.
"You have a wife and I have a fiance. We are just like strangers. And you have recovered. You don't
need me anymore. We just need to maintain the common business cooperation relationship in the
future. " Her heart was stung by something. Once it was touched, it would hurt. She got hopeless, and
she had no hope for their relationship any more.
Zac was a little annoyed. What a fool! She refused to admit her love to him as soon as she woke up.
He should keep her drunk.
He raised his hand and pressed the tip of her chin, "I will find a way to settle the grudge between your
mother and my mother." The muddled-headed woman was obedient to her mother. If he didn't soothe
his mother-in-law, he couldn't defeat Hanson and won his wife back.
Essie sighed and said, "It won't be resolved. The grudge and hatred between them was almost as deep
as a sea of blood."
Zac was taken aback. "Is it really that serious?"
"Yes, my mother will never forgive your mother." She said in a firm tone. She knew very well that her
mother hated Mary most. It was his mother who helped Elizabeth to buy off the doctor for her and
made her unable to give birth to a baby any more. For all these years, she had been guilty to her father,
and this guilt was caused by Mary and Elizabeth. She couldn't forgive them.
