Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 160

Leila felt a wave of disappointment course through her heart but she did her best to hide it. Wearing a beautiful smile, she said, "Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?" Zac said, raising his eyebrows.

"You are never serious about your relationship with Essie, am I right?" Deep down, she worried about his answer.

Taking a sip of the champagne, Zac fell silent for a while and said coldly, "I have no feelings for her nor did I ever have one." Zac had always been a good liar. From the way he spoke, one would have thought he was speaking about a valueless thing.

Leila sighed with relief.

'I knew it!' she thought to herself. He couldn't fall in love with a simpleton like Essie. Even if he had sex with her, it probably meant nothing. He did it to meet his physical needs.

"Come on, Zac. Let's dance. I haven't danced with you for a long time." She started to move like a flying butterfly.

Zac nodded slightly, took her hand and walked onto the dancing floor.

A piece of wonderful music rang. It was a waltz.

He gently embraced her. As soon as his hands touched her body, Leila felt happy. She enjoyed his company. Her beautiful dress began to spread like rose blossom petals.

However Zac's mind was elsewhere. His thoughts had drifted away into another space. In it, Leila was replaced by a little figure. This little figure, Essie, was capable of both making him sad and happy.

In the middle of the party, Valery showed up. Like a meteorite, she made a great tumult in the crowd of the dancing floor.

It was with great difficulty that Valery had driven Essie away. And now, she couldn't let others take away her fruit of victory!

The music hadn't stopped yet, and Zac and Leila were still dancing on the dancing floor. She didn't stop them at once, but secretly took several shots of them. Her resentment needed to be shared with someone.

When the music was over, she walked forward and held Zac's arm. She was pregnant, so he didn't push her away.

"It's late. Why are you here instead of taking rest at home?" he asked, a frown appearing on his face.

"Zac, you haven't been home for a long time. The baby misses you so much. I think that's why he keeps kicking me. I am finding it hard to fall asleep," Valery said pitifully, touching her swollen belly.

Leila's eyes were burning with fury. It was a golden opportunity to stay alone with Zac. But Valery decided to come running in order to snatch it away! Having a baby was not a big deal, she could also give birth to one if she wanted. It was beyond her how Valery was using this baby as an excuse to have Zac.

"Valery, the baby is just over four months old, and his brain is not fully developed. How is he capable of missing someone? You'd better go back and sleep. It's too noisy here and is definitely not the right place for a pregnant woman," Leila advised, hoping to drive her away.

"How can you speak with this certainty when you have never been pregnant before?" Valery snapped back. "When Zac tells stories, my baby used to respond to it!" Valery added. Leila rolled her eyes at this absurdity.
