Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 82

Soon after, reporters started gathering around and inquired about the wedding details.

Florey announced that the date of the wedding was now set on October 22nd.

Florey knew that Essie was not far away, and must have heard every word clearly. She wanted to see the look on her face as this scene was happening.

Essie huddled up in the corner. She was motionless as a doll and was left feeling completely defeated. Her eyes were fixated on Hanson, who was surrounded by tons of journalists across the room. A giant wave of despair rolled towards her, wrapping itself around her body, and she couldn't break free nor run away.

With her heart broken into pieces, she made the decision to straighten up and leave. She realized that she never should have come as she did not belong to a place like this. The whole event she only saw other people in love, she was completely redundant.

In fact, both couples seemed to be successful in love. Zac and Leila's relationship were blossoming, and Hanson finally decided to be with Sunny.

When she finally mustered up her strength to get out of the corner, she was instantly stopped by a woman on a wheelchair. There was no way in hell that Florey would let her go so easily.

"Miss Essie, my son, Hanson is here to tell you something."

Hanson stared at his mother with absolute disdain in his eyes, mixed with feelings of anguish and helplessness. From the look in his eyes, Essie could predict what he was going to say.

"I heard! Congratulations, Hanson!" she said with a forced excitement, before he could even say anything.

Hanson's shoulders turned cold and shook violently, as if a dagger were brutally stabbing him from behind. His internal organs felt like they were being torn apart, bleeding and overwhelmed with pain. His eyes were frozen like the surface of a winter puddle, robbing them of their usual warmth.

"I'm sorry, Essie... I'm sorry..." he said repeatedly, biting his lip to help him from crying out. The doctor had told him that Florey had a very serious heart disease and needed an operation as soon as possible. She gave Hanson an ultimatum, saying that she would refuse to have an operation, unless he cut off ties with Essie completely in front of her. This was his mother, who raised him for the last twenty-four years of his life. There was no way he would leave her alone to die.
