"It's up to me. If I don't need you to pay me back, you'd better disappear from my life once and for all."
Every word was said in a cold and arrogant tone.
Essie was petrified. How could he treat her like a slave and deprive her of her rights. She was a little
angry and annoyed, but she owed him. She loved him, so she deserved to be enslaved.
"I won't be in a passive position forever. I will let you say that three words to me in person one day."
"Which three words?" There was a secret light shining in Zac's dark eyes.
"I love you," she said clearly, word by word.
"It's so rare for you to confess everything to me." With a beautiful arc on his perfect thin lips, Zac looked
quite proud.
Essie was then realized she fell into his trap again. Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, she flushed.
"I... I don't love you. Unless you fall in love with me first, otherwise I will... I will definitely not love you."
A ray of light flew into the eyes of Zac. Although somebody's said angry words, that gave him hope,
"You little fool, you mean as long as I love you, you will love me?"
"Yes... Yes, feelings are mutual. I... I don't want wishful love. "
Suddenly, Zac reached out his little finger and held her. "You little fool, let's make an agreement, to
exchange our hearts. If you really have the ability to win my heart, you should give yours to me. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Essie opened her eyes wide, and a haze of charm gently floated
across her eyes.
She had lost her heart to him a long time ago, but would he give his heart to her?
"If I lost my heart to you first, would you also give yours to me?" she asked cautiously.
"Will you lose to me first?" Zac looked at her. There was a warm light shining in his dark and cold eyes.
"Didn't you say that everything is possible?" she murmured in a low voice.
The ice in his eyes seemed to melt away, and a tenderness faintly flowed in his eyes.
"You little fool, then we can make a deal. As long as one of us love the other first, the other will give the
heart and love as well unconditionally."
Hearing that, Essie lowered her head and nodded slightly. Of course she had to say yes since this
agreement seemed to be good for her. "A word spoken is an arrow let fly." she said nervously.
A period of time afterwards, Essie and Jim continued to maintain a relationship on the surface to
confuse the enemy. Every time she arrived at the Blue Coast, she wore the artificial mask. She
appeared as a maid. No one knew that she was Essie except Ann.
On Friday, Ivy came over and invited her to eat spicy crabs.
Essie knew that she was in a bad mood, so she wanted to complain to her. Because yesterday, some
media reported that Hanson and Christina were going to get engaged.
They went to the most famous spicy crab shop in Dragon City and sat at a table by the window.
"Sister, I heard that you are dating with brother Jim. What about my cousin? Is it true that you two have
no possibility to remarry?" Ivy said pitifully.
"Let nature take its course," Essie said casually. It was hard to tell her that she was enslaved by the big
devil every day.
"The God of Matchmaker is really good at making jokes. He always makes mistakes to get the two that
shouldn't be together," Ivy said, depressed.
"Ivy, there are a lot of men in this world. You will surely find your Hanson," Essie tried to comfort her.
When they were ordering, two slender figures appeared from outside.
Raising her head, Ivy was startled to see the person coming in, "Christina Qin, are you here to eat
spicy crabs too?"
"Why can't I come?" Christina said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. There was a slight smile on her
face.
"Why? Don't you know..." Seeing that, Ivy stopped her words and swallowed the rest into her throat.
She came with Alice. When she saw her younger sister, Alice smiled and said, "What a coincidence
today! Since we're all here, why don't we eat together?"
"Okay." Essie nodded her head, pretending that she didn't notice Ivy's angry face. She stood up and
sat next to her, leaving the seat at the opposite side to them.
"Essie, the designer from Paris will help me design the wedding dress tomorrow. Can you give me
some advice?" Alice said.
"Okay." Essie nodded.
The dishes were served soon.
Alice put a piece of big crab flesh onto Christina's plate. "You are pregnant now. You need to eat more.
Spicy food is the most appetizing."
"I've been sick of anything in the past few days. Only spicy crab is able to eat." Christina covered her
mouth and smiled.
Ivy shocked. "You've been eating spicy crabs for a couple of days, haven't you?"
"Yes. I don't like crabs very much. After I got pregnant, I often eat them." Christina touched her lower
abdomen, with a gentle maternal smile on her face.
"Probably the baby in your belly loves it." Alice responded with a smile.
Ivy's eyes widened. She remembered very clearly that when Valery was pregnant, she almost had a
miscarriage because she ate the spicy crab accidentally. She only ate once, but she responded so
fiercely. Why didn't Christina have any miscarriage? Was she pregnant with a superman?
Essie didn't respond to her words, and her face was as calm as a calm lake without any ripples.
As a woman who had given birth, she was very clear about the taboo of pregnancy. It was the first time
for Christina to get pregnant, so she wouldn't know.
"Now that you like it, eat more. You need to pay attention to nutrition in pregnancy," she smiled.
Christina ate with keen pleasure and didn't notice the shock on Ivy's face.
Essie put a piece of crab meat onto her plate and said, "Eat it, Ivy. The spicy crab here tastes really
good. It's so delicious. You'll have a better appetite when you finish eating. "
Hearing what she said, Ivy turned to her and took a deep look at her. It seemed that she was hinting
something.
However, it was not a good time to say it clearly now, so she didn't ask more but began eating.
"Miss Qin, Congratulations! I heard that you will be engaged to Hanson soon." Essie looked at
Christina and smiled friendly without any resentment.
"Thank you. Now that you and Jim are together, everyone is happy." Christina replied, like a winner. In
any case, she and her sister were the winners of the two love battles, and they, were her defeated
opponent.
Essie's eyes darkened, and a hint of sadness flashed in them. The air of romance was like a battlefield.
The one who laughed to the end would laugh the best.
After the dinner, Essie suggested that they go shopping together. She would like to choose the suitable
things for the wedding for Alice. Alice was more than willing to do it. She pulled Christina together with
her.
They didn't know that Essie did it on purpose. She wanted to see if Christina was really fine.
The four of them didn't go back until ten o'clock. When they got into the car, Ivy couldn't help but ask,
"It's so strange. Pregnant women shouldn't eat spicy crabs, but why didn't Christina have any reaction
at all after eating spicy crabs?"
"Then let's ask about her belly," with a deep smile on her face, Essie uttered.
Ivy was stunned. "You mean..." She paused. It was self-evident what she wanted to say.
Essie took out a can of ice black tea from the fridge and handed it to her. "In fact, the Matchmaker is
still very sober. He just likes playing tricks to test the males and females in the world."
Ivy understood what she meant. When she took a sip of tea, she felt completely relaxed.
Two days later, the headline of Dragon City Entertainment Weekly was finally changed. The news of
the relationship between Jim and Essie was finally replaced by the news of a fake pregnancy of the
daughter of the Qin family which ended the wedding with the CEO of Bella.
It was Ivy who revealed what had happened. After she was separated from Essie that day, she
immediately called Hanson and told him her suspicion.
Hanson went into a rage and took Christina to the hospital the next morning. The result was that she
was not pregnant at all.
Holding the examination report, Hanson Xia was furious and almost strangled her. If she hadn't called
her mother secretly and asked her to come to her rescue, she would have been strangled by Hanson
Xia.
Hanson threw her away and walked away, and she was crying on her mother's shoulder. Cara didn't
expect her daughter to do such a thing. She could do nothing but comfort her.
The next day, after hearing the news, Leila went to see her sister.
"Now that it has happened, it's no use crying. If I didn't guess wrong, Hanson would definitely go to ask
for the forgiveness of Essie and beg her to come to him," Leila said. It seemed that she was trying to
comfort her sister, but in fact, she was trying to ignite her revenge against Essie.
"What's the good of that woman? Why Hanson couldn't let her go?" Christina was furious.
"If she didn't run the Xu group, how could she be so valuable that everyone asks to marry her?" Leila
snorted.
"I don't want to see them reconcile with each other," Christina cried.
"Of course not." Leila sneered. Something vicious flashed through her eyes.
"Then what should I do?" Christina sniffed.
"Make a scene and let them suffer. If you suffer, don't let them live at peace." With these words, Leila
put her mouth close to Christina's ear...
After leaving Christina's apartment, Leila got on the car and sent a message with her secret phone, "I
have done what you said. You should deal with the rest."
Two days later...
In the Phoenix Road, Hanson had been waiting for Essie half a day. He told Lucy and Bob about the
fact that he was cheated by Christina's plan. Lucy had been furious. Just as she said, Hanson was so
nice and loved her daughter so much, so how could he have an affair with another woman when the
two were about to get engaged.
Nowadays, there were too many shameless women. They would do anything to get a man. Christina
and her sister were much more powerful than Elizabeth. They were born in a rich family, which made
the Qin family lose face.
When she saw Hanson, Essie felt a little uneasy. She didn't know how to face him and how to get along
with him.
