Chapter 20 You Feel Bad When Touching



Chapter 20 You Feel Bad When Touching

The more Essie thought about it, the more nervous she got. She almost jumped to her feet and tried to

run away, but Zac didn't go to her. Instead, he went straight to the fridge and took out a box of ice NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

cream. "I just wanted to help you with this," he said.

She took a deep breath, still petrified as Zac pointed at her temple with his index finger and said, "You

think too much. But even if you wanted to do that, I still wouldn't want to because you feel like a

dehydrated dry carrot when I touch you."

Her face became bright red as he spoke. When she noticed the cheeky grin on his face and realized

that he was actually teasing her, she got angry, scooped out some ice cream, and wiped it on his face.

This guy was a neat freak, so she thought he would immediately run to the bathroom and take a

shower. She absolutely did not expect him to fight back, but he scooped out some ice cream as well

and smeared it all over her face.

'You want to declare war on me? Fine! I'm not afraid of you at all!' Zac thought.

Then, an ice cream battle started.

They ran all over the house while laughing until all of the ice cream in the fridge was gone.

Afterwards, Essie lay on the floor, out of breath. Then, she licked the ice cream around her lips.

Seeing the flushed and naughty look on Essie's face, Zac felt quite amused.

A deep, rumbling laughter came out of his throat, and pulled at her heartstrings, just like a dragonfly

skimming its wings over the lake and spreading out ripples.

He was an extremely handsome man, and he became even more charming when he smiled. Whenever

he smiled, his usually cold profile became gentle and bright.

It was no wonder that Mandy was so mesmerized by him. It was as if God made this man so incredibly

good looking in order to tease women and make them fight with one another over him.

While she was still in a trance, Zac inched his face closer to hers until the tip of his nose was almost

touching her nose. "Essie, you obviously like looking at me," he said.

Upon hearing his words, Ethan felt her blood boil. She turned her head to the side and immediately sat

up straight. It really was true that men always thought with the lower part of their body. "You sex

maniac, if you can't hold it in any longer, go and find a woman outside. Stop wasting your time on me.

There are a lot of girls who would willingly sacrifice their body to you," Essie told Zac.

Zac frowned at her. He took a deep breath, feeling like he had just suffered an internal injury. He had

not had sex for several years. No matter how beautiful the women outside were, he was not interested

in them at all. He was a germaphobe, and all he wanted was to be a quiet sleeping beauty.

But Essie was the exception. Maybe it was because she looked so different that he became excited the

moment he first saw her. He became valiant and imposing, wanting to march forward the moment he

could.

"You are my wife. Should you be pushing me away?"

"I don't want to be your wife. It's not proper to give myself up to you," Essie said with a pout.

"You seem to be forgetting that you have already given your virginity to me." His voice was soft and

teasing, like the humming of a cheetah as it plays with a lamb that he had already caught with his

paws.

"It doesn't count." Essie's face became bright red again.

"Then what counts?" With an aggressive look in his eyes, his long fingers caressed her pink cheeks

gently, like the gentle flutter of a butterfly's wings.

Essie licked her dry lips and quickly changed the topic. "Well, stop it. Come on, be serious! You now

have a beautiful girl who is very fond of you. Move quickly and seize the opportunity as fast as you

can," she said.

"Who are you talking about?" Zac said, his eyes darkening.

"Mandy!" Essie exclaimed. Then, she smirked and continued, "I know that you are a little tempted by

her, and the only reason you left suddenly and treat her coldly is that you want to play hard to get,

right?"

Zac was rendered speechless. 'She really is different from any other woman, ' Zac thought. 'And other

than that, her brain is also so unique.'

He frowned before putting on a sly smile and saying, "Are you jealous?"

"Of course not. I, as your temporary wife, am being very generous to you. I turn on green lights for you

all the time. And not only can you pass the Peach Blossom Road unimpeded because of me, but I am

also helping you at a critical moment," she replied.

Her carelessness somewhat annoyed Zac. He pursed his lips and squinted his eyes. Then, his face

became serious and his voice became quite cold. "It's your business. I'm not interested in your friend.

Stop bothering me!" He hated it when women teased him. If she dared to tease him, he would definitely

punish her!

The fiendish look on his face told Essie that he was not joking. At that moment, she felt a mixture of

delight and a bit of worry.

What pleased her was how this cold guy was still calm even when another woman was flirting with him.

It meant that he was not some kind of playboy.

But what worried her the most was the fact that Zac was apparently not interested in Mandy. If Mandy

really tried to pursue him, then she could end up being caught between the two of them.

And as it turned out, the more concerned she was, the faster it all happened.

The next day, Mandy called her early in the morning. She had a ticket for Bella's autumn fashion show,

and she wanted to give it to Essie in exchange for helping her set up a dinner date with Zac.

To be honest, the last thing Essie wanted was to get involved in this whole ordeal, but she really

wanted to go to the show, so she had to throw all her reservations aside this time.

But there was one problem. If Zac found out that Mandy was the one who wanted to go on a date with

him, Essie was sure that he would refuse. She had to think of a way.
