Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 413

"Zac --" a shriek came from not far away. Then Leila ran over and, without thinking, jumped into the lake with him.

The lake in early spring was still cold, and in the evening, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the water was even colder.

When he saw her, Zac was shocked. "Leila, why are you here?" His lips were slightly blue, and his voice was also trembling.

Leila's situation was not much better than his. She kept shivering.

"Hurry up." Zac ordered.

"What are you doing in the lake?" Leila asked, trembling.

"I have lost my stuff. It is none of your business. Go up now. I will find it myself." Said Zac with a determined look. It seemed that it was more important than his own life.

"What is it? My swimming skill is good. Let me help you. " Said Leila. She was good at swimming. In the University, she was called a mermaid and could hold her breath for as long as five minutes after she dived into the water.

"…… Barbie doll. " Zac hesitated.

A hint of surprise flashed through Leila's eyes. She didn't ask more but continued to swim.

When she swam a few meters away, she saw the feet in the thick water weeds at the bottom of the lake. She grabbed it and took the doll out of the water.

When she saw the familiar face of the doll, she felt her body spasm violently. She was so familiar with the doll. It was his treasure. For a period of time, he often held it in his hands and played with it. Even if he was laughed at, he didn't care about that. Later he put it in his safe.

She had always wanted to know where the Barbie doll came from and if it was from a girl, but he never told her.

Why did it come out today? And he even jumped into the lake to look for it. It was hateful.

She had hated the doll from the past, and he treated it better than her.

No one could take Zac away from her, even a Barbie doll.

She thought angrily. She grabbed the doll's head, broke its neck with a snap.

When Zac swam over, she waved the doll to tell him that she had found it and then swam back.

When they were ashore, Leila closed her eyes and fell on the ground. She was not sick. She just pretended to be sick. Jumped into the lake for her Barbie doll wasn't enough to make him moved. She needed to act well.

Her consciousness was very clear. She heard that Zac was calling her. He picked her up and ran into the villa. Then he asked the maid to change her clothes and make some ginger soup to dispel the cold.

She waited for a long time and didn't open her eyes until she heard the familiar footsteps.

"Are you okay, Leila?" Zac sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

"I'm fine." She shook her head.

"The lake is too cold. You shouldn't have jumped into it." He sighed slightly.

"I can tell it's important to you, so I didn't think too much. I just want to help you find it." She smiled weakly and asked deliberately, "I just pulled it out from the weed. Is it broken?"

Zac did not answer. Just a trace of undisguised pain ran over his face. The doll's neck was broken. Does it meant that he and Essie would never be able to recover?

Leila stretched out her hand from the silk quilt and held his hand. "Zac, do you know how much I love you? For you, I'm willing to do anything, even to kill myself."

With a bitter smile on his face, Zac said, "Leila, have you ever thought that maybe you don't love me, but your obsession for me. I love a person so I want her to be happy. I love a person so I learn to let her go rather than to possess her. " Just like what he had done to Essie. If she didn't love him, he would let her go and set her free. As long as she was happy, he would take all the pain alone.

"I just gave myself a hope. Love can be developed." She knew what Zac meant. Her marriage was snatched from other's, but she didn't think it was wrong at all. She was fighting for her own happiness.

Zac shook his head. Some feelings could be developed, and some were destined to be together at the first sight, just like his feelings for Essie.

"Well, you can have a rest. I'm leaving." He didn't want to say anything more and needed to fix the Barbie doll.

When he turned around, Leila jumped up from the bed and put her arms around him from behind. She begged, "Zac, could you please give me a chance? Landis is a star. She only loves your money and status. Essie had already been with Hanson. She had even given birth to two children for him. They were a family. Only I love you with all my heart and soul. "

Her words were like a steel rope, tightly binding Zac's deepest wound.

Today, he saw that she was smiling brightly and sweetly to Hanson. They behaved intimately in public. Their faces looked sweet and happy.
