Essie nodded. When she entered the Starbucks, she ordered a cup of latte and Hanson ordered a cup of Mocha.
"You came here alone. Didn't Zac come here with you?" Hanson stirred the coffee in his cup.
"He is busy with his work and doesn't have time for me." She lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice. He saw her sad expression. "Is it because he doesn't have time, or he wants to stay with his pregnant mistress?" He snorted with a tinge of smocking at the corner of his lips. She was shocked by his words and raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with surprise. She wondered if he had already known the thing between Zac and Valery.
Hanson knew what was on her mind. "At the moment, Ivy is an intern at Bella. I just asked her something about Zac when we had the time. I didn't expect that..." He stopped and smiled coldly.
Hearing his words, Essie clenched her fists. Yes, he was right. How could she forget what Ivy? She must have told him about the mess between her and Zac and Valery.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You have experienced all these mess because of me," Hanson said bitterly. If he hadn't made her sad and desperate, how could she go to the bar to get drunk and marry Zac?
"Hanson it's not your fault. It's my destiny. I'm doomed to be in this trouble." A bitter smile crept up on Essie's face. For other people, they would only get laid if they were drunk. Yet, she went to the Bureau of civil affairs to register in a stupid way. She was totally fascinated by this matter.
"I don't believe in fate, so do you." Hanson's face was filled with determination. "You have to trust me. I will take you away."
"Hanson, I don't deserve you. Don't pay too much attention to me." Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, Essie shook her head and said, "Christina, Ivy, they are better than me. Why don't you try to date with them?"
"I only love you, Essie." Hanson said in a resolute manner. The reason he was getting along with Ivy and Christina was that he wanted to use them. That was all.
"If you really love me, just listen to me and find a girl to get along with." Essie lowered her eyes again, and her thick eyelashes trembled, a drop of tear falling down into the coffee cup, bringing a little dark brown water.
Hearing that, the corners of Hanson's mouth quivered slightly. After a while of silence, he said slowly, "Okay, I will follow your words. I should find a girl to date with until I have the ability to fight against Zac."
She didn't say anything. Maybe by then he would fall in love with that girl and stop thinking about her, and never try to fight against Zac.
While she was thinking, the voice of Hanson came again. "Let's have dinner together in the evening, and your cousin. Even if we can't be together now, I'm still your senior, your friend. You shouldn't always try to avoid me."
