Essie was curled up by the bed head with pillow in her arms. She still could not recover from the horror.
When she heard the door being pushed open, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Do you need me to explain to you about what happened in the office?" Zac said in a cold voice. There was no trace of guilt.
Her heart was cold, "No need." She was clear about the relationship between Leila and him, so he didn't need to say more to strike her.
"Then tell me, why did you kill my child?" He said word by word through his teeth.
She lowered her head and tightened her arms, "I..." She was too embarrassed to speak it out.
"Is it because of Hanson?" He held her head with his hands, with a malicious expression in his eyes. It seemed that he wanted to find out the shadow that had been haunting in her mind.
"No, it has nothing to do with him." She shook her head immediately.
"Then why?" He didn't intend to let her go.
A frightened expression surfaced on her face. She cried as her shoulder shivered.
He raised her head with force, not letting her escape, "It is because... You hate me so you want to kill my child?" His expression became ferocious, mixed with unspeakable sadness.
"No, it's not like that." She shook her head desperately, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's not yours. " She cried out loud. These words cost all of her courage and strength.
"What did you say?" Zac shuddered with fear. "How could it be not mine?"
Essie covered her face, "You weren't the one in the hotel on that day. You were afraid that I would commit suicide again, so you lied to me, weren't you?"
Zac was shocked. A deep light flashed across his eyes. "What a little fool!" He took her hands and removed them from her face to make her look at him. "Now I am telling you seriously that I was the one who stayed with you that night. The child is one hundred percent mine."
Hearing that, Essie stopped crying all of a sudden. She widened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. "But Mandy told me that she saw me being..." She stopped and bit her lips.
"Have you met Mandy?"
It seemed that Zac understood everything now.
Essie nodded and held the hemline of his cloth with her little hand. "Zac, please don't lie to me. Don't lie to me. I'm really scared. I'm really afraid that the child isn't yours."
He hugged her into his arms. His little fool was deceived by that damn bitch Mandy. She almost killed their baby.
In order to erase the shadow in her heart, he had already asked William to go to the hotel and get the surveillance video for that night.
