Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 126 Why Is The Bed Smaller (Part Two)

In the bedroom, Zac was already back in bed. He looked over the door and said, "If you don't come out,

I'm breaking in."

"It's not my fault that your bathtub is so comfortable." She cracked a joke to conceal her frail heart.

When she walked towards her bedside, she suddenly stopped and was left bewildered. She looked at

the bed and wondered why it seemed so much smaller than it did yesterday. She wondered if she was

just dazzled or her vision was getting impaired.

"I thought you were sleepy. Why don't you get on bed so we can sleep?" Zac leaned against the head

of the bed and his eyes flashed with delight.

She proceeded to lie on the bed and pulled up the blanket. Zac followed and turned towards her with

his head resting on his hand. He smiled with wonder and asked, "You muddle headed fool, what do you

think of Dragon City? Have you encountered any problems?"

"It's been fine, however, there is a bit too much pressure," she said with an adorable pout.

"I can take you out tomorrow so you can wind down and finally relax." He placed his fingers on her hair

and started to play with it.

"Where will we go?" she asked, raising her almond shaped eyes.

"Where would you want to go?" he asked her instead. Drawing under his breath was his perfectly

curled lips.

"We could go trekking and climb the mountains. We could ask more people to come with us. Maybe

Jim, Alice and Holy? Besides, tomorrow is a weekend and they should be free, right?" she said with a

giggle, while an innuendo of cunningness was seen hiding behind the dimples on her cheeks.

"Is my company not enough?" Zac asked with furrowed eyebrows. Since his true identity had been

revealed, she tried her best to refuse to stay with him alone.

"We should hang out with others too and let them enjoy themselves from their busy lives," she said

casually. From this moment forward, she had to make sure she kept her distance from him. She didn't

want to depend on him too much to take care of things for her.

"I don't like it when there are too much people. Let's go climbing, just the two of us," he said

authoritatively like a king trying to make orders. It felt like Essie had no right to resist but submit to his

control.

"He's like a tyrant,"

she muttered softly with discontent. She turned and faced her back towards him and tried to sleep.

He leaned closer to her, with his solid chest hovered over her back. She wanted to move over, but

found that there was no space. "Ice guy, please move away a little. Don't push me!" she protested.

"There's no place to move! If I move further, I'm going to fall," he answered defensively.

Essie was completely clueless as to how this was possible.

She clearly remembered that the bed here was the same size as the one in her apartment back in

Yang City. There was supposedly a lot of space for them to lie and move around.

She rolled over and raised her head to peek towards his side. 'How strange, there really is no room

left!' she thought.

She was perplexed as she remembered the bed being wider the night before. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

'The bed couldn't have just shrunk, just like that?'

she wondered if she was losing her mind.

"Ice guy, how wide is this bed?" she asked curiously.

"It's a meter and a half wide," he answered peacefully, with dark eyes that glimmered under the dim

night light.

"Only 1.5 meters wide? Why do I remember this bed being the same size as my bed in Yang City?" she

asked with a confused voice, scratching her head apprehensively.

"You must have been really sleepy last night. How could the 1.5 meter bed be as big as your 2 meter

bed?" He flicked her forehead gently with a mischievous smile.

She crossed her arms across her chest and said disgruntledly, "You are the future heir of a wealthy

family. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be sleeping on such a small bed?"

Whenever they slept together in the past, she always secretly moved close to the edge of the bed to

keep a safe distance and avoid physical contact between the two of them. However, now she could

barely even move. With a tiny bed like this, it meant that she had to risk being so close to him

whenever they went to sleep. She found this deeply disturbing.

There was a shrewd expression on Zac's face when he placed both his hands on the back of his head

and said with a lifeless voice, "In fact, I find myself sleeping comfortably here. I don't need a bigger

bed."

Essie puckered her lips in annoyance. "Well, I can't sleep well in such a crowded bed. What if I fall off?

I want to sleep alone!"

He stretched his arms and hugged her tightly. "Now, you don't have to worry about that."

She gently kicked him away and said, "You know I have a habit of kicking people in my sleep. Aren't

you worried that I'll end up kicking you out of bed at night?"

He shrugged and a soft smile appeared on his face. "It doesn't matter. If I fall down, all I have to do is

get back up and go to sleep again."

Essie was left stupefied. By this point, she had nothing else to say to retaliate.

She had always been exploited and taken advantage of by this cold man, and she was starting to look

more and more miserable each day that went by.

She just succumbed and fell down on her back, acting completely lifeless and disregarding the sly gaze

in Zac's charming eyes.

Zac was such a calculative man that he was able to foresee a situation like this. Around his house, he

had customized beds that looked exactly the same but came in different sizes. One day, when she was

finally ready to engage in sexual acts with him, he could simply change the bed to a bigger one.

He smirked silently at his cleverness.

On the other side of Dragon City.

A private detective handed Elizabeth photos that he had taken secretly earlier on. Elizabeth opened the

envelope and took a quick look.

"Perfect." Elizabeth laughed hysterically and couldn't wait to savagely tear apart Essie. She had always

been good at creating trouble between people. As long as she had the goods on the little bitch, she

could easily throw her out on her ear. With these photos that she had just collected, there was no way

for Essie to defend herself. She demanded, "Print them out and get them released."

When the private detective left the room, Valery walked towards her to praise her and said, "Mom, you

are so clever, you found her weak point already. I never thought that she was the type to fool around

behind Zac's back. If Zac comes across these photos, he would be so furious that he would get a

divorce without any hesitation."

Elizabeth smiled wickedly and said, "It's not only Zac, but Mary and the whole family would not let

something like this go. You, my dear one, are the only one qualified to be Zac's wife. If anyone dares

try to take your place, they are simply playing with fire."
