Zac choked, "A man like Alfred can be regarded as a wacko. Ordinary people can't compare with him."
"I think every man has a romantic gene in his bones. After all, you are single cell creatures that think with your lower body." Essie said with a smile.
Zac rubbed her head and said, "You mean an ordinary man, not a charming man like me."
"You are right, sir. You are from the divine world. There is still a difference between you and a mortal," Essie said, giggling.
"Idiot, you must have been cultivated yourself for ten thousand years to accumulate the bless so that you can marry me in this life." Zac raised his thick eyebrows.
"Zac, narcissism is a disease. You have to be cured." Essie rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm just telling the truth." Zac shrugged.
"Don't forget that the marriage between us two is equal in social ranks and everything. I'm not from an inferior family than yours. Back then, I was the most popular talented and beautiful girl in Dragon City. Even without you, Zac, I can still marry Jim or Fell, who are also outstanding," Essie said slowly.
"Can they compete with me?" Zac's eyes darkened. Obviously, he was unhappy.
"Jim is also a sage of love. If I had chosen him at that time, I wouldn't have been bad." With a smile, Essie pretended to ignore the gloom on the man's face.
"You are destined to be my wife. Don't expect to marry anyone else." Zac snorted.
"So you are lucky to marry me after thousands of years of cultivation. Otherwise, how could you marry a wife from a family of equal social rank and still have love in your marriage?" Essie's thick eyelashes flickered.
When the car stopped at a crossroad waiting for the traffic light, Zac pinched the tip of her chin and said, "Compare to Jim, I'm much luckier than him."
"It's true." With a sigh, Essie continued, "When he was with Janice, his family objected to his marriage and made Janice go abroad pretending to be dead. Now he likes Eva, and Eva has my brother. Even if brother really died, he might not be able to be together with Eva. After all, Janice was back. Their relationship is destined to be much more complicated than us before."
"In the past, your heart had always been tied to Hanson, but I still got it back." Raising his thick eyebrows slightly, Zac seemed to think that Jim should go all out to have a try.
"It's different. We are bound by a piece of certificate. Anyway, I am your nominal and legal wife. Besides, we have the same goal. We both want to drive Valery away, so we can be together. But Jim and Eva are different from us. Eva is now my sister-in-law, my brother's wife. She and Jim have no common goal other than shooting a movie together. How can they get together?" Essie analyzed thoughtfully.
"Sounds reasonable." Zac nodded, "But the marriage between Eva and Arnold is not legal. It's just a pure form."
"I know, but Eva has regarded herself as my brother's wife. The most important thing is to have a sense of recognition. As for my brother, we don't know whether he is alive or dead. If she has to wait for a long time, will Jim accompany her to wait for a long time?" "You said love had a shelf life. No one would wait for another person unconditionally and endlessly. If love can't be maintained, it will go bad and rotten."
"Yes, so if Vinton really died, the love between Eva and him would also change, just like what happened between Jim and Janice," Zac said.
"Maybe." Essie sighed.
After a short silence, she asked haltingly, "Zac, if I die before you one day, will you marry again?"
Zac glanced at her and said, "No." He said firmly.
"Why?" Hearing that, Essie was a little stunned.
"Because I only get married once." A faint smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth.
"Then you will find a lover." Essie pouted.
"Honey, I don't have the conditions to find a lover." Zac stroked her head.
"Why?"
"You forgot that I was poisoned by your magic power." Zac smiled wickedly.
"Can't you control it by the alcohol for the time being?" Essie murmured unhappily. She hated alcohol, and more hated the person who invented it.
"It's fun to do sex when you are sober. It's not fun at all if you are drunk. I'd rather not do it if I am drunk," Zac said slowly.
Looking at him, Essie thought, 'He won't let me lose control or lose his mind, nor will he allow himself to be anesthetic with alcohol and do something beyond his control.'
Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to get drunk and do that with another woman.
At this moment, she was happy. Alcohol seemed to be useless.
While she was thinking, Zac's voice came, "If I leave first, will you remarry?"
"No, I'm your woman alive, and I'm your ghost when I am dead," Essie said without hesitation and certainty.
With tenderness in his eyes, Zac said, "Honey, I've said that I allow you to remarry. If I'm really gone, someone must take care of you for me."
"Zac, if you dare to die before me, I will hate you for the rest of my life and will never marry you in the next life," Essie threatened.
"It's so horrible. Then I must live for you for a long time." Zac smiled. He didn't want to leave his muddled-headed fool. He wanted to grow old with her. Even if he accidentally died one day, he would climb back to find her. He wouldn't leave her alone.
