He had promised him this morning to take care of Essie, but he hadn't prepared for this. Now suddenly he made a big move. How could he resolve it?
"Recently, he has suffered some setbacks. His mood fluctuates constantly. You need to get used to it. He won't come. Let's eat here. It's so late. If we go out, we have to find another restaurant to eat. Why don't we just eat here and have a companion? " He tried to ease the embarrassment with an awkward smile.
Essie knew that she had no appetite. But she couldn't refuse him, so she sat down again.
"Brother Jim, if you have time, take a look at Zac. He needs the care and encouragement of friends very much now," she said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. He is the most cold-blooded man in Dragon City. He is not that vulnerable," Jim comforted her. He was a man who would never blink his eyes when the mountain collapsed. How could he feel depressed because of an accident? She was the only person that could make him worried and anxious.
However, Essie didn't understand what was on Zac's mind. She thought that he was really tired of her and didn't want her anymore. She felt terrible.
"But he is not in a good mood now," she muttered in a very low voice. She almost collapsed at the thought of his indifference and disgust in his eyes when he looked at her.
Perhaps he was blaming her. After all, she was the indirectly chief culprit in this car accident. If she hadn't been willful, he wouldn't have encountered such a disaster. So he couldn't forgive her and didn't want to see her again.
"Don't worry. He will be fine after a while." After he finished ordering, he handed the menu to the waiter.
Taking another sip of the juice, she tried to shift the subject. She was afraid that she couldn't stop crying if they continued to talk about it.
"Brother Jim, have you been preparing for the new play recently?"
Jim blinked his charming eyes and said, "I don't have a female companion for the award ceremony in MTV awarding ceremony this Friday. If you have time, you can go with me. What do you think?"
Feeling he was joking, she smiled and said, "You're the most attractive man I've ever seen. Why do you need a date? If you are really lack of one, just post the news on microblog, it is sure that all women in the country will rush over and scramble to be your female companion. "
"I'm not interested in those anthomaniac." He looked at her with a meaningful smile on his face and said, "Miss Yi, do you always think that I'm a playboy?"
Hearing that, Essie was dazed for a second. Although she knew that the answer was yes, it was not appropriate to say it out loud. She smiled and said, "Brother Jim, you're so excellent that women always chase after you. I don't think it's difficult for you not to have a romantic relationship."
Jim sighed. "Although this is a euphemistic answer, there is still the meaning behind it. So, for the sake of my future marriage, I need to be nursed from women. "
Essie was choked. Vinton decided to ditch his bad habit for Eva. Now King Jim wanted to do the same. Was it a trend as the saying went 'A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold'?
"You have a girl that you want to marry to?" She was a little curious. He and Zac were both very picky, with eyes looking up at their heads. What kind of magical woman could win his heart?
