Her words hit Essie like a thunder. Her brain was buzzing. Darkness came over her eyes, and she seemed to see nothing. She lost her balance and fell backwards. Luckily, she was held by Jim quickly.
She stared at Zac, hoping that he could deny it immediately and tell her clearly that the child was not his. But Zac didn't say anything. He just stared at Leila in shock.
Did he acquiesce in it indirectly?
Yes, his hidden disease had healed. He did not need to have the spiritual love with her again and could live a normal marital life. They would have children sooner or later.
But she couldn't accept that. Her heart was in pain, her head was in swelling, and her internal organs were writhing violently, as if she would fall to the ground and die in the next second.
Leila watched her reaction. A triumphant smile crept over her face. "Essie, don't you wish brother Zac to be happy?"
Hearing that, the face of Essie became stiff. She exerted all her strength to pull the muscle of her body for quite a while until a tinge of pain was squeezed out. Then, she said with a smile, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Touching her belly, Leila laughed with pride.
A sharp pain came from Essie's eardrum, which broke her heart. "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom," she murmured and walked outside mechanically.
However, she didn't go to the bathroom. Instead, she went outside directly. She didn't want to go inside any more. She was afraid that she would die of impatience if she stepped in again.
She wanted to drive to the street and have some fresh air to calm herself down.
When she opened the door, the door on the passenger seat was opened. A tall man got in the car, which made the atmosphere in the car immediately reduced to a minimum.
Looking at that familiar and handsome face, Essie was so furious that she blew up.
She blacked out with shame, her eyes wide open, and she almost lost her mind and reason.
"I'm leaving. Please get off the car." She gritted her teeth and squeezed a few words.
"You are in a bad condition now and it is not good for you to drive."
He tried to pull out the key, but she shook off his hand. "It's none of your business." She said coldly, with her fingers holding the steering wheel tightly to vent her anger.
"Your business is my business," he growled.
"Mr. Rong, do you think my wishes were not enough? And now you want me to congratulate you alone and sincerely?" Her heart wrenched into a ball, and the hot wave in her eyes was surging. Her chest seemed to turn over a pot of boiling iron milk, which burned her internal organs so intensely painful.
His two beautiful eyebrows creased into a cross line, the muscle on the lips tightened, and he clenched his teeth. After a long while, the muscles on his face relaxed and he sighed heavily. "I didn't expect that she would be pregnant."
She sneered. Did not expect? So what? Accident? So what? Could he change it?
"You make me sick, Zac."
"Don't you want to listen to my explanation?" He smiled bitterly.
"No, I don't want to. Get out of my car now." Her tone was straightforward and cold. The only thing she wanted to do now was to stay away from him. If possible, she would never see him again for the rest of her life.
Zac didn't move. His breath became heavier and heavier, stirring the dull air in the car. His eyes were dark and domineering. It seemed that he would never get out of the car unless she did.
She was in a rage that was burning wildly in her chest, and the fire spread quickly to her every cell and fiber, burning her last sanity and thinking.
"You don't want to get out of the car, do you? Well, let's go out together to calm down." She slammed on the accelerator. The Porsche came toward the road like a shot.
Her motor made a strident noise in the quiet night, as if it was a thunder.
The bodyguards drove their cars closely behind, which terrified them.
"Miss Yi, you drive too fast. It's dangerous. Stop the car now," They shouted through the walkie-talkie.
Essie turned a deaf ear to them.
