Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 98

"I..." Hanson wanted to say something but stopped after giving it a second thought. At first, he was forced by his mom to give up, and he was afraid that he was too young to give her a future. After that, he went into Bella. He couldn't do anything due to the strife between him and his family. And now, the only thing he could do was put aside his love for her. All of these turned into a kind of silent sorrow that choked his throat.

"I'll love you more and make up for everything that happened for the past five years," he continued.

Essie put on a smile that was full of sorrow, bitterness, and despair. He did love her, but he did not care about her at all. She had waited him for five years, and had actively confessed her love to him. However, he didn't welcome her in his arms, making her look like a big fool. After getting drunk, she married someone else and lost the most precious innocence that she had been saving for him.

"Did you ever think of me when you were about to marry Sunny? I confessed my love for you, but you didn't say anything. Did you ever think about my feelings when you left with your fiancée? I won't be stupid anymore. I've already made it clear to you, Hanson. Every time you had to choose among your family, Bella, and me, I'm the one you decided to give up. I am not giving you another chance to abandon me. It's too hard to love you!" Essie's tone was no longer gentle. Instead, it was sharp, filled with grief, resentment, and accusation.

A sharp pain flashed across Hanson's face, but he didn't know how to refute her words.

She was right.

Because he wanted to get Bella first, he made her wait. And because he wanted to get his mother to be cured first, he decided to separate from her temporarily.

He loved her. He wanted to be with her, but he always made up his mind to give her up.

For his sake, she gave up the opportunity to study in Instituto Marangoni. Even though she was bullied by Sunny and couldn't find a job, she still chose to stay in Yang City, because of him.

She loved him fiercely, but he was too much of a coward in love.

He collapsed on the chair as if all of his strength had been drained away. He held his head in his hands and ruffled his short hair restlessly.

Dead silence filled the room.

Then, Essie looked at him coldly, without even a sliver of hope or anger.

"I'm leaving, Hanson." Without waiting for his answer, she turned around and walked out at once.

A teardrop fell down from Hanson's eyes. He felt nothing but despair and sadness.

Today, Zac just stayed silent.

Ever since Essie entered the room, he had not said a word. He just stood alone on the balcony for a long time.

He stared at the sunset in the sky.

The setting sun shone brightly, but his eyes were like a deep well that was dark, cold, and a place where the sun could not shine.

Essie, on the other hand, was just lying on the sofa, too distracted to talk to him.

It was not until dusk that she sat up and took two bottles of wine from the refrigerator.

"Zac, come and drink with me."

He quivered slightly, as if he was chilled by the night breeze. After a moment of silence, he turned around and came over.

She handed the wine to him and said, "Let's get drunk today."

He sat on the sofa and took a sip of wine. "We got married the last time when we got drunk. What do you think will happen if we get drunk this time?"

"Maybe we'll get divorced!" Essie smiled faintly.

"Do you want a divorce?" Zac's dark eyes gleamed and became even deeper.

"According to the rule, you have been punished to have a divorce five years later." She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.

"I'll try and make more mistakes. I'll try my best to have a divorce 50 years later." The corners of his mouth curled up, and he suddenly leaned forward, his thin lips skimming over Essie's small mouth like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.

She pushed him away and maintained a safe distance from him. "Are you always so flirtatious with women?"

"Only when I am with my woman," he said with an evil smile.

"I'm not your woman." She pursed her lips and thought, 'Go and find your small-minded Leila.' Leila only gave her a score of five and told her that she did not see the soul of the jewelry and did not know its essence. She even said that her evening dress was only good for stalls and had low quality. Shit! Wasn't she afraid of lightning and thunder because of the lie?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her head and took a swig of wine to vent her anger!

With his arms on the back of the sofa, Zac looked somewhat domineering. "If you don't want to be my woman, you can't be with anyone else in your life." His tone was slow but full of threats.

"What? I've got a lot of suitors. No need for you to worry about me." Essie crossed her arms in front of her chest and puffed up her two pink cheeks. What he said just now made her even angrier. So she decided to charge him for what his girlfriend did to her.

Taking a slight bow, Zac said, "Let's see who will dare to be with you without my permission."

'What a provocation!

Who cares?' thought she.
