It was because of Hanson. He thought she would be sad about the wedding between him and Leila. He misunderstood. She would never cry for him but for Hanson.
"You are such a coward, crying for a man." His tone became as cold as ice, freezing the air around him.
Yes, she was a loser. She was abandoned by him, but she was still willing to be his mistress. She had decided to make a clear break with him, and she still couldn't help missing him day and night, and now she was tortured to faint because of him holding a wedding with someone else. How cheap she was!
However, people were just so strange. They could control their hands and feet, but could not control their hearts.
Once a person's heart was manipulated by love, it would become blind, abandon self-esteem and do anything. Even if he knew there was a mountain of fire and blade in front of him, he would be unable to help but bury himself into it.
"I have all kinds of shortcomings. I am stupid and confused. I am not ambitious. I love to be cheap, and I am not as good as your first love Leila. So I deserve to be divorced by you when I am dying in the hospital. I deserve to be replaced by your first love. I deserve to be a laughing stock in the whole Dragon City." She stared at him angrily and insidiously. She couldn't control her tone, which was almost roaring.
Zac's thin lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound. He just sighed sadly.
After a moment's silence, he said, "if it hadn't been for this matter, your mother still wouldn't have let us be together. Will you have the courage to defy her?"
With a shudder, she lowered her eyes, as if she had lost all courage in an instant.
She couldn't fight against it. Although it was not a deep-rooted hatred, without Mary, her family would not break up. She and her mother would not have a narrow escape. And the Xu family would not be in such a situation.
The most hateful thing was that Mary had never felt any guilt. Instead, she made every effort to make it hard for Essie. Such a person didn't deserve to be understood.
"If you were me, would you accept the child of your enemy?" She asked.
"I asked my mommy, and she told me that she just provided some kind help to Elizabeth, and she didn't hurt your mother," Zac explained.
"You believe her?" She sneered and thought that a hypocritical woman like Mary would never confess her crime.
Zac understood her doubt. "My mother is not a bad person. After all, Elizabeth is her good friend. She couldn't be indifferent when she came to ask her for help." He hoped that all of this was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding between his mother and Lucy. As long as the matter was made clear, the previous grudges could be resolved.
Essie looked at Zac coldly and criticized him in a sharp voice, "I knew you would take your mother's side."
"Yes, I'm talking about the right thing and the wrong person. Can you guarantee that your mother didn't vent her anger on my mother because of Elizabeth?" Zac frowned. It was possible to hate Mary because of Elizabeth.
With a snort, Essie said, "Zac, do you know the difference between premeditation and murder?"
Zac was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Go back and ask your mommy." She turned her head away, as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"I will figure it out." Zac squinted and a sharp cold light flashed through his eyes.
The dishes on the table had already become cold. Zac asked the bodyguards to heat them up before bringing them. After saying that, Essie felt hungry and began to eat.
When Zac didn't come back at night, Leila was worried again. She was afraid that he would go to see Landis and made many phone calls.
"You'd better go back, in case she's suspicious again. Since you've decided to be her real husband, don't create any more gossip." She lay on the bed side and played the iPad. She would just play games to kill the boring night when Zac came back.
Zac turned off the phone and put it back in his pocket. "Don't spoil women too much, or things will be out of control." His eyes fixed on her while speaking, as if he was talking about her.
She didn't look up at him during the game, but her heart had been very emotional. Although they had registered for marriage, it was not justifiable for them not to hold a wedding ceremony. Now that they were married and they were going to hold a wedding ceremony, it could be regarded as valid. It was none of her business how he wanted to live with Leila. She had no right to interfere in it.
Then, the two didn't talk much. They sat down on their own businesses, but their eyes were full of each other, and couldn't contain anyone else.
