A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 299 You Win This Time

Zac walked quickly to them, leaving Leila behind. "Why are you two together?" He asked and frowned slightly.

"Why can't we be together?" Essie retorted sourly.

"Zac, since you have divorced, we are just ordinary friends. And about what happened to Essie, you don't need to ask more." Walt said slowly, distancing himself from Essie.

They were not friends. Essie corrected him in her heart. Zac told her in person that they only had business relationship at the moment.

There was a touch of melancholy on the face of Zac. Was his brother going to take advantage of his weakness and swoop in? Even if it was Zac's own brother, Walt would never have an idea on his wife. When he was about to speak, Leila walked to him from behind and put her hand in his arm. "Brother Zac, let's go to the bar counter for a drink?" She dragged him away on purpose.

Looking at them, Essie was furious and said, "excuse me." After saying that, she walked away with Walt arm in arm.

Pulling his arm out of her grip, Zac ignored Leila and walked to the bar counter alone. He sat down and ordered a glass of whiskey. He was extremely angry, "Damn it, damn it." He kept cursing silently. Regret, anger and jealousy were boiling in his heart.

Standing next to him, Leila felt depressed and disappointed.

When the music began, Walt and Essie walked into the dance floor together. When Zac looked at Walt's hand holding hers in one hand and putting the other hand on her waist, blazing cold light burst out from his eyes. His handsome face was completely filled with jealousy.

"Zac, let's dance." Leila asked cautiously.

"Go by yourself." Zac answered absent mindedly. His eyes were fixed on Essie.

"Pineapple, you're good at dancing." Said Walt in awe.

"You too." Essie smiled.

"When are you going back to Summer 100 Degree? It's about the new product show. There will be a large show. As the founder, are you going to seize this opportunity to return?" Asked Walt with a smile.

"Not now. I'm working as the special assistant for CEO at Hengyuan. I have a lot of things to do and I can't leave now." She sighed.

"Why are you here?" Said Walt, slightly surprised.

"It's a long story." "I know nothing about this business. I have to start from scratch to learn real estate and investment," she continued.

"I can teach you." Said Walt with a charming smile on his face.

"Really?" There was a sparkle of joy in her eyes. She wouldn't have to beg that bastard Zac for help.

"Of course. Call me if you have any questions." Walt nodded seriously.

In front of the bar counter, Zac looked around with his eyes wide open. What were they talking about and laughing so happily. She had never smiled at him like that since she came back. He was very unhappy. He soaked too long in the jealousy jar, and even his pores sweated out.

As soon as the dance stopped, he rushed over and said, "next dance, dance with me." It was almost a mandatory order, and she was not allowed to disobey. However, she refused. "Mr. Rong, I am not your partner. If you want to dance, you should find your partner."

"Are you angry about what happened this morning?" He asked.

"I don't have the spare time. We are just business partners. Please behave yourself." Essie replied coldly.

"You are still mad at me." He muttered and grabbed her hand. "I've changed my mind. From now on, you'll be my dancing partner."

"Let me go." She shook off his hand violently and added shyly, "I'm not a toy that you ask me to come and go at your disposal."

Standing out to protect her behind him, Walt had already angered him greatly. "Zac, do you really take me as an invisible person?"

"She is my woman, your sister-in-law." Every word was squeezed between his teeth, cold and ruthless.

"No more." Essie said when she was standing behind Walt, and she had the courage to answer his question.

"Listen up. Essie is my partner tonight. It has nothing to do with you." Said Walt.

Ignoring him, Zac stared at Essie and said in a painful tone, "if you want to take revenge on me, you've made it." After that, he turned and walked out of the ball hall, halting like an injured cheetah.

"Zac." Upon hearing this, Leila instantly stood up and tried to catch up with him, but he had already forgotten her and drove away.

Pulling a glass of cocktail for her, Walt said, "don't think about anything unhappy."

"I'm fine." "Let's go, Walt. Let's dance," she said and took a sip of wine. She forced a smile and said in an exaggerated way.

Walt smilingly took her hand and brought her back to the dance floor. At that time, she danced happily and didn't miss any piece of music, as if she wanted to vent her anger by dancing.

After the ball, Walt drove Essie back to the villa and then drove away.

When she was about to ring the doorbell, a tall figure rushed over from behind and hugged her.

She was extremely frightened at first, thinking that he must be some very daring man. But when the familiar and wild breath spread into her senses, the fear disappeared, leaving behind a stronger and more chaotic heartbeat.

"Zac, why are you here?" She asked in a low voice. He reeked of wine. It seemed that he had drunk a lot.

"I'm waiting for you." Zac mumbled. It was obvious that he was drunk.

"Let go of me first." She tried hard to get rid of him, but he refused to let her go. "Don't ever try to leave me again."

"If you let me go, I will let you in, or I will let you stay outside." Essie threatened him. It is said that alcohol makes him sober, so he shouldn't have lost his consciousness and could understand her words.

Sure enough, he let go of her.

She rang the doorbell immediately and helped him into the villa and into the guest room.

As soon as he lay down, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "You win this time, don't piss me off with other men. I'll be mad at you." His eyes were full of drunkenness, as if he were talking drunken words, but his expression was serious.

Essie glared at him. She was pissed off by him. Since he had Leila, how could he still harass her? "Zac, I have nothing to do with you. No matter who I am staying with, you don't have a say in it."

"Who says that it doesn't matter. Being my woman, you can only be my woman all your life." His tone was extremely domineering. As he spoke, he tightened his arm, as if he was going to lock her up.

"Don't dream about it. I'm not your private property, nor your pet. You have no right to interfere with my freedom." She hit him on the shoulder. As long as Leila appeared, she would be thrown into the corner like a useless thing. She hated him.

"Your freedom is within my permission." He said savagely. The scorching wine breath spread on her face.

"Zac, I have to remind you one more time. We are divorced. And there is absolutely no remarriage between us. So don't expect me to still be trapped." She would not disgrace herself and provide a substitute for others to bury the happiness of the rest of her life.

He looked at her drunk and hazy, and a mysterious smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Idiot, I have a secret to tell you..."

"What secret?" She was slightly stunned. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"I..." Although he was moving his mouth, he made no sound. She hurriedly put her ear to his mouth. "What are you saying?"

There was no reply, only heavy breaths. She turned her head, and the man had already closed his eyes and passed out.

Damn it! What on earth did he want to say?

She pouted, broke free from his hands and got up. This man was so possessive. He obviously didn't like her, but he still forcibly occupied her by his side and didn't allow anyone else to touch her. She hoped that her sister could come back safe and sound, and that Mr. Xu could wake up soon, so that she could take the heavy burden and leave in peace. She would better stay far away from this man, and never see him again in her life.

It was already noon of the next day when Zac woke up. He went downstairs. When he saw Holy and Essie, he realized that he was in Alice's villa.

Damn it! Why was he here? He rubbed his head which was still suffering from dull pain. He had not much memory about the things after getting drunk.

"I've made you a cup of tea to sober you up. Come and drink it." Said Essie.

Zac walked over and sat beside her. She poured him a cup of tea to sober him up. "I just made it. Be careful not to be burned."

He took it up and took a sip. Then he let his eyes settle upon Pana and asked, "are you Cathy?" He sounded surprised. She was quite different from what he had imagined. He had thought that Cathy who had grown up should be cunning and capricious. But it turned out that she was a tough and strong female.

"She didn't grow up to be the fatty you expected. Are you disappointed?" Worried that he would be suspicious, Essie hastily interrupted.

"You've really changed a lot." Zac shook his head.

Then she winked at Pana, and Pana stood up and went upstairs. Hearing the footsteps fade away, Zac mumbled to himself, "great changes! She's still more interesting in childhood." His tone sounded disappointed.

"Haven't you always said that she is a witch? She has corrected her evil deeds. So can you forgive her and accept the feud between you and her when you were young? "

Zac shrugged. Seeing that the girl was righteous and serious with no expressions on her face, it would certainly be very meaningless to settle accounts. "Forget it. I'm generous and I forgive her."

Essie snickered in her heart, and felt like she had settled a debt, which relieved her a lot.

Holy put down his video game equipment, patted on the shoulder of Zac, and said, "brother Zac, you haven't succeeded in getting my sister back. Are you very depressed?"
