• We Can't Be Married   CHAPTER 8

  “Essie, we thought you would be devastated because of Hanson’s upcoming marriage. You seem well though, and we didn’t expect you to be so cheerful like now. Have you really moved on?” Mandy asked deliberately.At the mention of Hanson’s name, Eva suddenly coughed as if to remind Mandy not to aggravate Essie.Essie’s eyes darkened instantly. It was true that she didn’t have much time to think about Hanson after spending the last few days quarreling with Zac. She realized just now that Zac’s troublesome attitude was actually a blessing in disguise. Since there was no chance for her to end up with Hanson anyway, it would be a waste to think about him.“I’ve decided to concentrate on my work. I won’t date someone before the age of 25.” She vowed solemnly.Eva wagged a disapproving finger at her. “You can’t miss the opportunity to pursue love just because of career! Your youth and good looks are wasted on you if you keep

  However, Essie didn’t take further action. Instead, she slipped out of his arms, jumped off the bed, grabbed her sketchbook, and sat cross-legged on the bed.Zac squinted his eyes just a bit to see what was happening.The girl was sketching him without his permission!How dare she!He clenched his jaw and turned to the other side of the bed.She went to the other side and continued.Seeing that she wasn’t going to stop that easily, he turned back and she followed.“Are you fucking dreaming?” Essie grumbled, finally having enough.Sensing her frustration, he decided to cooperate her. If the painting wasn’t good enough, then he would just tear it to pieces and throw it into the nearest trash can.Seeing that he didn’t move, Essie shook her head and sighed. “It seems that you also dream so fast,” she teased quietly.Za

  However, the thought of him delaying it any further came into his mind. Without another thought, he reached out for the handle, climbing up to the second floor. Zac gritted his teeth as he hoisted himself up one step at a time. Thunder crackled in a distance, but he didn’t care. All he wanted was to save Essie.Once he arrived, he kicked the glass window and swung himself into the room. Under the light of his cellphone, he could see her lying on the ground. Her whole body was convulsing and her lips were colorless. She looked as if she had just joined the cast of zombies.Zac lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He began to perform artificial respiration.Essie was finally conscious. Seeing the dim light across the room, her fear had been relieved. As he continued to blow air into her system, the muscle in her throat slowly unwound, allowing her to breathe more easily.“Did you have a heart attack? Where’s your

  She quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around herself. Her face was tomato red. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Zac’s eyes lit up almost immediately, looking like a kid whose Christmas present got in early. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of her. She was so scared that she completely forgot to run away. Essie bowed her head and stepped back, wanting nothing more than to keep a safe distance from him.However, every time she stepped back, he took another step forward. They continued doing this till he had her backed up in a corner.“What– what are you doing?” she stuttered out, clutching her bath towel.Zac’s strong arms blocked her from going left and right, locking her beneath him. He leaned in so close that she could almost hear his heart beating in his chest. “Did you do that on purpose?” he whispered, his breath fanning across her nose. His voice was hoarse and raspy as if he had just gone

  Taking a deep breath, Essie turned around slowly and said, “If you’re so sure of yourself, let’s take a bet!”“Okay!” Sunny smiled complacently. She had been competing with Essie for such a long time. She knew her so well that she could easily predict her moves. Essie was obviously inferior to her. She was like a stupid bug whom she could bait and trap easily at will. Right now, she swallowed her trick hook, line and sinker. “Today is April 3. If you don’t break up with that man on June 3, you win the game. But you would lose the game if you two break up before the agreed date. As punishment, the loser would have to wear a bikini and dance in the Century Square!”“Okay!” Essie agreed without hesitation. She then took her cellphone out of her pocket and asked Sunny to repeat the conditions of the bet. The recording would serve as the proof of their bet, in case Sunny planned to back out when she lost. “You just wait and see how I will punish you!” Sh

  His voice was low and it obviously hinted flirtation. For a second, Essie stood stunned. But slowly, his words began to sink in. She clearly understood what he was implying. And as a consequence, her face blushed crimson red. “Don’t mention it. I have forgotten it,” she said, trying to maintain her composure.Zac’s black eyes blinked, unable to believe she had forgotten it.He remembered everything, clear as day! Every second, the scene played in his mind.He woke up feeling hazy today. At first, his head felt unusually unclear, and he was unable to remember a thing! But soon, it began to fill up. Missing pieces of yesterday, came to his mind, one by one. He was a neat freak. No woman could touch him even if he was drunk. But when she was around, the defensive system seemed to be invaded by virus, breaking down instantly. To start with, she wasn’t like any other woman he had come across. She was both beautiful and pure. Even her sme
