Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 77

It was late at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.

Zac had come home earlier than usual.

Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.

The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly gust of wind.

"Zac, you're home," Essie said in a low voice.

Zac didn't respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn't hear her words at all. The curtains fluttered in the wind, making Zac's tall body look like a dark silhouette.

Essie slowly approached Zac. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scent coming from him that she noticed the glass of whisky in his hand.

'He's drinking alcohol?' Essie thought to herself.

Thinking of how she saw Leila having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Essie guessed that they might have quarreled with each other. And they must have had a big fight this time.

"Have you eaten? Do you want some noodles?" Essie said in a soothing tone.

Zac turned around to face her.

In the dead of night, the expression on his face was hard to read, and his eyes looked gloomy and cold as they shone in the darkness.

Essie shivered, suddenly feeling chilly.

"Zac, women always lack a sense of security. I think you'd better get married as soon as possible, so that you won't always fight with each other." Essie tried to give him a reassuring smile as she tried to steer the conversation towards what she wanted to say next.

"What do you mean?" Zac frowned. Her stupid mind was never in the same page as his.

Essie then took out a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator and handed it to Zac, hoping that it would help him calm down. However, instead of drinking it, he threw it onto the table. "Make it clear to me," he ordered.

She let out a small sigh and decided to be straightforward. "I wanted to tell you that this is the best time for us to set our relationship straight and for you to marry the person you really love."

Hearing her words, a muscle on Zac's face twitched violently.
