"The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Jim took a sip of wine and said with a low voice, pretending to be annoyed, "Even if I stay put, Fell and his men won't leave her alone. It is said that they send the flowers to Hengyuan Co., Ltd on time every day." He said these words on purpose to remind him, making him feel a sense of crisis.
The only rival in love for Zac was Hanson. He had always been more important than him in the heart of his little fool. Most importantly, they had two kids. The kids were definitely the most important chips. As long as the three people worked together, he would be killed instantly.
If he hadn't tied her up with the marriage chain, she would have left him and become the wife of Hanson.
"They are all digging their own grave. My wife wouldn't like them."
"Your wife? You are supposed to switch it to ex-wife, aren't you?" Jim curled his lips and gave a faint smile.
"That is a piece of paper. With or without it, she is my wife." Zac said in a firm tone. No one knew about his fake divorce and sham marriage except for William. He couldn't tell this secret to others, including to Jim, until Essie was recovered.
Jim shook his head and sighed. He knew that Zac didn't want to tell him something. As a close friend of him who even share the same pants when they were kids, he knew very well that Zac wouldn't tell him anything if he didn't want to. He must have a reason to hide it.
"Alright. Tell me the truth. Did your hidden disease really recover?" He changed the topic, which was also of great concern to him.
"Sometimes good, sometimes bad." Zac didn't give her a definite answer.
A sharp light flashed through Jim's eyes as he listened to him, "Landis admitted to her agent
personally that she had sex with you in the hotel. Did you do it when you are good?"
Zac shrugged. Yes, they did have sex. It was not him but his double body. Since they were going to have a scandal, the more real the matter should be, the better it was.
"Well, Landis is not simple. In order to be a female leading actress, she has been slept all her way up from assistant director to the film producer," Jim reminded him. People like him who was obsessed with cleanliness would never touch such a woman.
"It doesn't matter. It was just a game," Zac said in a calm tone. If she were that simple, he would never lay eyes on her.
"It seems that you don't like Leila." A strange smile appeared on Jim's face.
Zac knew what he meant. He just raised his eyebrows without saying anything. He didn't care whether it was Leila or other women, because neither of them would satisfy his appetite. He had no interest in them, all he wanted was to keep away from them. All he wanted was his little fool who made him happy and sad at the same time.
He took a sip of wine and said slowly, "You are right. There is indeed not pure friendship between men and women. There is always someone who can ruin all the friendship and cross the line."
"In the past, she thought she was a daughter of the Qin family, so she tried her best to hide her feelings. Now her identity is exposed, so she naturally has expectations." Jim patted on his shoulder and said, "I don't know why you married her, but I'm sure it's not your intention. If you don't want to tell, I won't ask. I believe you'll tell me when you can."
Zac picked up his glass and clinked it with his. "You are always the one who knows me best."
"As the saying goes, keep the goodies within the family. If you really want to give up Essie, I'll never let go of her now." A playful smile appeared on Jim's face.
"Don't have any plan on my wife." Zac snapped. He was clear that only the one who could have his little fool was him. Anyone
else was not allowed to get involved in.
Jim sighed. "Whatever you want to do, don't be too hard on Essie. It hurts her feelings. You'd better make an explanation before it's too late. Don't ruin the feelings," he said with sincerity.
Zac nodded. Indeed, he had to give a few more preparations for his little fool in case she would be too angry to have a fever in her brain and do something wrong.
The next day, before Essie got off work, she called up Walt to confirm that he was in the villa. Then she asked the bodyguard to drive her there to change the medicine for him.
"Brother, is your wound still painful today?" she asked while taking out disinfectant, iodine and gauze from the medical kit.
"Much better." Taking off his T-shirt and lying on the sofa.
"You can take a rest if you are not busy at work. In case your wound reopens during the movement," Essie said.
"It's only a small wound. It doesn't matter," Walt said dismissively.
