Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 84 Hit You At Your Weak Point

Startled by the sudden acceleration of the car, Essie grabbed on her seat and said, "Hey, slow down!"

She wondered why he was trying to bring her home in a hurry. She figured it was because Leila would

get so impatient waiting for him.

Men always got tired of old, and were fond of the new. After playing around for so long, he seemed to

have grown tired.

Essie already had enough of having her heart broken into pieces. Now, she didn't want to end up losing

her life.

"Zac, I'm telling you, the last time you had a rare chance of getting your way out. However, you failed to

seize it and you missed your chance. I have now decided to watch your performance and I get to

decide when we get divorced." She folded her arms across her chest and said these words loud and

clear.

The cast of gloom disappeared on his face. He slowed down the car and said with a smile, "What do

you mean?" He raised his left eyebrow and his eyes began to spark a tinge of light within the darkness.

"If you treat me well and make me happy, I will move the divorce a day earlier. However, if you

displease me, I will postpone it for another day," she said sweetly with eyelashes that fluttered like

wings. Now, she had complete control of him and had seized the initiative. If he wanted his freedom to

be with Leila, all he had to do was listen to her and make her happy.

She was too caught up in her triumph to notice that he had smiled with a mischievous look in his eyes.

The situation seemed to have reversed dramatically.

Now, he didn't need to lay his cards on the table, but to put all his efforts into tormenting this confused

little girl.

She had been mistreated countless of times, while she spent the whole time treating him like her first

love.

He never realized that the confused little girl intended to abuse herself.

"You seem to have gotten it all wrong. Shouldn't my good performance make you more reluctant to

leave me?" He couldn't help but giggle a little. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Essie threateningly put her face close to his and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "There's no need to

play dumb. I've already noticed how badly you want a divorce, but unfortunately for you, I've been in a

bad mood and don't want to give in to your desires." Before she could complete her words, she was

flicked hard on her forehead.

This was Zac's punishment.

'I wanted to divorce? Does she even use her eyes? She isn't only stupid, but blind as well!' he thought

to himself.

"Ouch!" she uttered as she covered her forehead in pain. "Do something stupid and I'll be putting it off

for another day!" He flicked her on the forehead again before she could finish her words.

"Push it even further. Again!" She was so upset her cheeks began to puff into a rosy color, so she tried

to hit him at his weak spot. She believed that if she kept at it, he would fix himself sooner or later.

They arrived at their apartment, exhausted from a long day.

Essie sat back on the couch as she waved at him and said, "Okay, you can go now."

"And where am I supposed to go?" he asked.

He had done so jokingly despite knowing the answer.

She rolled her eyes at him and said, "I thought you weren't coming back to live with me."

He smiled slowly and sat down next to her. His dark eyes sparked with profound light. "I've changed my

mind. From this moment forward, I will be where you are."

It hadn't been long and he was already trying to win her over.

He seemed to be in such a hurry to get a divorce.

This made Essie feel a little disappointment and her heart sank deep into her body. With a sullen

expression, she stood up and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to take a bath and go to sleep. Help yourself."

Despite all the paparazzi who had witnessed the onslaught during the opening ceremony of the fashion

week, both Hanson and Zac's family had ordered to cover up the story at the same time. No one of

them dared to report it or even post a single photo of that night.

The front pages of the newspapers were all about the news of Hanson and Sunny's wedding.

In the next following days, motivated by her fury, Essie had shut herself isolated in the studio, making

designs nonstop.

She couldn't care less about their wealth or power, as it was not something out of the ordinary for her.

All she had to do was work hard and turn into the successful woman that she deserved to be. She

needed to succeed so that anyone who looked down on her or pulled her back could just eat shit.

By the time she had walked out of her studio, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

She yawned, all ready to go to bed, when she was pulled to sit down on the sofa with Zac. He wanted

her to watch TV with him, which she found particularly strange.

She was too tired to notice or even think about it, so she sat with him and lowered her head. She spent

that time trying to fight off her sleepiness and resisted the urge to close her eyelids.

"Have you seen the TV series today?" he asked as he flicked her forehead, trying to snap her out of

dozing off.

"It only releases four episodes within a week. I don't have the patience for it, so I'll watch the series

once it has all been released," she said with a subtle pout.

Zac proceeded to the kitchen and came back with a tub of ice cream. He knew that this was something

that helped people stay awake. She waved her hand at him and yawned, having no regard of her

image as a lady. "I don't want to eat, I just want to get some sleep."

"Okay, I'll sleep with you."

When these words escaped his mouth carelessly, Essie was suddenly wide awake.

"Check the TV." She smiled awkwardly, using all her strength to keep her eyes open. She was worried

that Zac would instantly take advantage of her the moment she blinked an eye.

Zac murmured silently by himself. He had the time, patience and wisdom. Clever cats would play with

the mouse before they swallowed it.

When the clock finally hit 12 o'clock midnight, Zac suddenly mysteriously went up the stairs. After a

long while, he came back and said, "It's getting late. It's time to go to bed."

She rolled her eyes and felt as though something was wrong with him. By this point, however, she was

too tired to think about it and just went straight up wanting to sleep.

She pushed the door open and the light of a candle glimmered in front of her eyes.

She was stunned.
