Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 83 Showdown

When Essie heard this, she was left wide eyes and stunned. Before she could turn her head to see

who spoke, Zac had already held her in his arms. He cast a cold glance at the three people in front of

him. With eyes as sharp as a sword, it seemed like a single look from this man could break them to

pieces. His powerful aura was like an erupting volcano, frightening everyone within a mile from him.

Vulnerable from all the insults, Essie instinctively buried her head into his arms, as she had just found

her savior. Her mind was completely blank, and there was nothing else she wanted to do but hide in his

arms quietly.

The moment Sunny saw Zac's face, she immediately hid behind Hanson, like a shivering mouse.

After rounds of violent convulsion, Hanson could not take another second of it. All he longed for was to

run to Essie and take her back. If only they knew how much he hated himself for losing her.

Florey was left stunned for a moment, and could not speak a single word. It took a while for her to

regain her consciousness and stammered, "Who is this woman to you?"

"I have said it loud and clear to you just now. She is my girl. It seems like you are not only dizzy, but

you seem to have developed a hearing problem, old lady," said Zac, with a bloodthirsty sneer on the

corners of his mouth. He turned his head to stroke Essie's pale face and said, "There's nothing to worry

about anymore. If anyone dares to insult you again, I will cut off their tongue and feed it to the dogs."

His statement instantly caused Sunny to shudder, paralyzed from terror. She knew in that moment that

Zac was capable of doing such things. Florey saw the fear in Sunny's eyes and realized that an

ordinary man would not cause her to be so afraid. So she responded in a tender voice, "Well, I just

hope that she will not come close to my son again." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"You should tell your son instead that he will never deserve a woman like Essie," Zac taunted her, as

he held Essie carefully and walked her outside.

As Hanson watched their figures recede and disappear, his anxiety caused him to fall to the ground in a

matter of seconds.

The room broke into chaos and commotion.

Leila came out of the dressing room, completely shocked to find that so much had happened since she

left.

However, what infuriated her the most was when she heard that Zac had brought Essie along with him,

leaving her alone to herself.

On the drive home, Essie stared placidly outside the window. Her deep dark eyes were lost in thought,

and her face was completely blank.

The view of Yang City during the night was beautiful. Neon lights flashed all night long. The city was

always moving and busy, even late at night.

When she decided to move to this city, she had done so for the sake of Hanson. She sworn that she

would do anything to become a woman worthy of him.

However, the cruel reality was that it was all wishful thinking and a stupid dream that she simply

couldn't let go.

Instead of becoming closer to him in the last, the distance seemed to be getting further and further

away. It had gone too far that it felt impossible for her to catch up no matter how hard she tried.

She had no resentment towards Hanson about what had just happened. She was smart enough to

know that he had no choice, and what he said was all his mother's cruel intentions. Nevertheless, she

knew that it was impossible for them to be together. Their families came from different classes. His

family would never tolerate an ordinary woman like her who had no identity or successful family

background. Neither would she tolerate that kind of treatment for the rest of her life. She also knew that

Hanson would never do anything to betray his family.

A feeling of warmth gushed into her eyes, and she realized that she was starting to cry. She tried her

best not to let it out, so she raised her head, trying to force her tears back into her eyes.

"It's just you and me here. You can cry if you wanted to," sighed Zac. Although he wanted to comfort

her, he didn't like the idea of her crying about another man.

"Am I stupid?" she asked with a voice that gently trembled from pain.

"Not only are you stupid, but blind as well," he answered ruthlessly and assuredly. He had a beautiful

face, but she always seemed to turn a blind eye towards him. He couldn't understand why he wasn't

enough for her.

She thought to herself, 'Is it necessary to be so direct?'

Essie had just broken up with her boyfriend, and it happened in such a cruel manner too. She couldn't

understand why he simply couldn't console her.

She figured that it seemed like he could only show his tenderness towards Leila.

However, it was her and Zac who were legally married anyway. It bothered her that he couldn't show

the same kind of concern towards her.

One day together as a couple means endless devotion towards each other. It seemed like this man

couldn't comprehend that.

She pouted her little mouth with her body just filling up with resentment that couldn't be released. The

moment she pinpointed the cause for all this, she rushed to release all the angry energy she felt inside.

"Zac, I've changed my mind about the last time."

"What is it?" he asked casually.

"The divorce," she said sternly with anger rushing through her veins. She waited for him being full of

depression, regret and madness. Essie figured that if he could use her as an emotional punching bag,

so could she.

A somber expression was instantly seen from his face. The topic had been something of a taboo for

him as of lately. He stepped hard on the gas pedal to release his anger, and the car moved forward fast

like a strong wind from a typhoon. He had been waiting for the opportunity to tell her the truth. Now that

she had brought it up again, he didn't have to think about her feelings for once, and wanted to clear it

up once and for all.
