Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 423

Before the construction of the South Sea project was started, Essie and Zac went to C Island to inspect the construction of the base on the island.

They didn't take the same plane, but they arranged their schedule respectively. Zac arrived in the morning, while Essie arrived at noon, as if to avoid suspicion.

Unlike last time when she came to Sea City, Essie was not as innocent and naive as she was before. This time, she had made full preparation, because she had no one to rely on. She could only rely on herself.

The whole afternoon, except for two formulaic reports about business, Zac didn't talk to her. In his eyes, she was a mere stranger.

She tried to forced herself to adapt to his indifference and ignorance, but her heart did not listen to her orders. It kept twisting, twitching, and even wanted to go on strike, so that she fell to the ground and died directly.

She was like an addict to drug. She was suffering from rehab and insomnia. She remembered that last time when she broke up with Hanson, she was not so sad. She fought with the demon every day and almost didn't think about Hanson at all.

Why was she so sad this time? Even if she had Hanson by her side, it would not relieve her pain.

After dinner, Essie wandered on the beach alone, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was very quiet in the night, with only the howling of sea waves and the roar of sea wind by her ears.

She climbed onto a reef and looked down at the surging waves beneath her feet. A wave came up and hit the rocks splashing. Her dress edge was wet, but she didn't step back. Instead, she moved closer.

A pair of big hands stretched out from darkness and grabbed her arms. "If you keep moving forward, you will fall down."

There was a hint of warning in his low voice, but she was very familiar with his voice. Her eyes were suddenly wet, and the dark night helped to hide the emotions on her face.

"Why are you here?" She asked in a low voice.

"It's just a shit place. We haven't set up the internet yet. What else can we do besides walking on the beach?" He said lightly. The base was still under construction, and the satellite network had not been laid down yet. They came here to supervise the construction process.

"In fact, you don't have to come here in person. You can send a vice general manager or a director," She muttered, as if talking to herself.

Zac's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't known that his stupid woman had to come in person.

"Why do you come here in person? Is there no man in the Xu's Group?" He asked in reply with a sneer. This place was not suitable for women before it was finished.

"This island is the southernmost of our country. I want to come and have a look." She hemmed and hawed. In fact, she just wanted to leave Dragon City for a walk in a sparsely populated place. But she didn't expect that the enemy who had disturbed her also came.

"You do have a brain of temple block. Don't you know to come to see it after it is finished?" Zac snorted.

"Yes, Essie is an idiot, and everyone despises her. Cathy is actually clever and easygoing." She stared at him with a sullen face. But as soon as she finished her words, she felt it laughable. How ridiculous the comparison was! After all, it was she who was the only one to be blamed?

"Good. It's good that you have a clear estimation of yourself. Ask Essie to get out of here as soon as possible and get my Cathy back." Zac snorted.

"She can't come back. She left the Xu family when she was seven years old. She is doomed to never come back." She looked down at the surging waves beneath her feet. Her long shadows were projected on the reef like thick ink.

"Why?" His deep voice was like breathing through her hair, and a touch of sadness gradually appeared on her face. "Her family has been occupied. Her fiance has a new girlfriend, and now he is married to this woman. All what she had in the past has been lost. What will she do back?"

Zac's mouth twitched. "If you choose to give up, then don't come back."

"Yes, it's good now." Then she sat down with her chin on her knees. What would she do if she wouldn't give up. He had already married someone else. Would she be a mistress to ruin their marriage? Moreover, his mother was her enemy. How could she regard the thief as her mother-in-law and hurt her mother's heart?

"Are you really going to marry Hanson?" He clenched his teeth, his dark eyes shining with anger. Her indifference and compromise almost drove him mad. He really wanted to squeeze into her brain and check what funny things there were? And what's more, how small was her heart? Why did Hanson have a place in it and could not accommodate him anymore?
