Lucy didn't expect that things would turn out like this, but she still hated Mary and didn't want to accept Zac.
"In this case, you should stay away from Zac, or those people will continue to harm you."
"I know what I should do. Just leave me alone, okay?" Essie begged again.
"I did it for your own good. You and Zac are another things, and it has nothing to do with your relationship with Hanson. No matter what, you shouldn't have refused Hanson like this today. It makes him so sad. " Lucy poked her daughter's forehead.
Essie was helpless. The reason why she did this was not only for herself, but also for Hanson. Only when he gave up the idea of being with her could he accept another woman and start a new relationship with her.
"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go upstairs first." She didn't want to say anything more. She was very clear that as long as the grudge between her mother and Mary was not resolved, she would not accept Zac.
But now was not the right time to deal with this matter. First, she needed to make things clear about Christina's false pregnancy.
The next day, she went to the Blue Coast.
It was cloudy in the villa today. The bright sunshine was blocked and couldn't come in.
Seeing Essie, Zac's dark eyes lit up slightly and then quickly sank into the dark shadow.
"I thought you wouldn't come," he said coldly. Essie didn't know when she irritated him.
A changeable big demon was hard to please.
"I haven't paid off my debt of gratitude. I won't leave even if you drive me away." She frowned.
"Hasn't Hanson come back for you?" He snorted and frowned.
Essie was shocked. This big demon was really good at collecting informations.
Her curly eyelashes trembled, and some secrets spilled from them. Sitting next to Zac, she put her face in front of him and looked at him without blinking, "Icy guy, are you jealous?"
Before she could finished her words, he flicked on her forehead. "Are you a paranoid?" A cold smile came to the corners of Zac' mouth, as if he was mocking her wishful thinking.
With her hands on her forehead, Essie said, "It's a good thing that people have a little fantasy."
"It's annoying to think too much." His tone was deliberately cold, but his mouth inadvertently raised a faint smile. His mood seemed to have changed from gloomy to cloudy.
Unfortunately, Essie didn't notice his change but immersed in her sadness and frustration. Because of his sharp tongue, it was very difficult for an ordinary person to endure his attack.
"If you are not jealous, why do you look fierce? It seems as if I owe you a debt," she lowered her head and said in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself. But Zac had sharp ears and could hear her.
"You owe me a lot," he retorted rudely and instantly covered her mouth.
Essie also realized that she had said something wrong. She was in debt now.
She patted her own mouth. The powerful aura of the big demon king would always create high pressure, and make her unable to breathe. In front of him, not only would her brain be weak, but also her tongue often was not agile.
"As the saying goes, a day together as couple means endless devotion. We have been a couple for so long. Even if you don't want to invest in our relationship, you don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"
She lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering, and her lips trembling. The sadness in her tone were like a pair of big hands that touched his heart. He looked into her eyes and gave in after a few seconds' struggle.
"You little fool, don't you want to make up with Hanson?" His voice sounded warm, as if he wanted to win her over.
She raised her eyelashes slightly, and her big black eyes were blinking, "Do you want me to make up with him?"
He moved his eyes to a cup on the tea table, and then opened his thin lips slightly. In a domineering and tyrannical manner, he said, "No."
She seemed to be burned, and there was a fervent flame in her eyes. A smile, like the ink in a water tank, gently melted on her face, and the slow and poetic spread, spreading... Finally it reached all over the eyebrows. "I know you don't want me to leave."
As if Zac was affected by her, his eyes lit up, like a black crystal ball, reflecting all sorts of complicated and strange light. He picked up the tea cup on the table and had a small sip. When he turned his eyes back on her, the look on his face became deep and cold. "I know you always say no while mean yes, but I didn't expect you to be such a wishful thinking girl."
"What do you mean?" His voice was deep, like the cold weather from Siberia, soon frozen all her emotions. Her voice was trembling, as if her throat was frostbit.
