All Chapters of We Can't Be Married: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Essie did not expect to win twelve times in a row.“You’re cheating!” The way Zac slurred made him sound drunk.“What? You’re the one throwing the dice. How can I be the one cheating? Just admit it, you didn’t think I was going to win. Well, that’s how gambling works!” Essie giggled. She had never had any luck in gambling all her life, as such, she didn’t expect her luck to be so good today.However, Zac wasn’t convinced. “Fine! Again!” He was determined to make a comeback.Essie’s thick eyelashes flickered open. “Okay! This is the last one. The big one! I have already lost everything today! So why the hell not. Marriage isn’t a big deal! I can get married whenever I want. How about this? If I win again, you will have to marry me!”“Deal!”The only thought in Zac’s mind was to win this game. Besides, he wasn’t used to losing to anybody.“Great! I like you!” Finishin

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

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

“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
