Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 50

Essie ran after William, but he was nowhere to be found when she reached downstairs. Even if she wanted to call him, but she did, because she did not have his contact details.

That time, Zac was accompanying her parents to buy furniture in shops in the city. Essie was chasing an order, so she was unable to go with them.

She thought the matter was one of great importance, so she immediately called Zac and asked him to return as soon as possible.

Zac calmly looked at the property ownership certificate, but there was an unfathomable glint in his eyes. "I didn't bring my ID card yesterday. You were the one who signed the contract, so I put your name on the property ownership certificate."

"Wasn't it William who took care of it? Why didn't he tell you about it?" Essie let out a sigh, exasperated at the carelessness of the staff at the Housing Management Bureau.

"William had no idea until he got the certificate. It doesn't matter, though, as long as it has one of our names," Zac said in an indifferent tone, but Essie was sweating. How could it not matter? The house belonged to the person whose name appeared on the property certificate. In case they got divorced later, he could only get half of the property.

'Is this person really that kind or just too gullible? Doesn't he even know the basics, like keeping one's heart hidden for the sake of self-preservation?' It was lucky that he met her; had it been another woman, that person would have already extorted money from him.

"Hurry, call William and ask him to replace the name in the property ownership certificate. This is your house, Zac. Every square inch of the floor and every brick are yours. It has nothing to do with me."

Zac sighed, an embarrassed look crossing his face. "Once the certificate has been submitted, we can't change it anymore. Changes have to be processed as a transfer. However, the service charge and business tax fees add up to nearly one hundred thousand dollars if the property is transferred within five years."

"That much?" exclaimed Essie in shock.

"Just leave it be. We'll talk about it after five years," Zac said with a confident smile. He knew her. She was always careful with money and would never give money for nothing.

Sure enough, Essie fell silent again, her bright black eyes looking slightly glassy, as if deep in thought.
