A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 218 Take Them All! (Part Two)

"OK, I'll take it." His voice was weak and hoarse, like the cold wind that forced in from the gap of the window.

She lay on the bed again, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

He stood quietly in front of the window for a long time, without moving, as if he were an earth without a soul. Then he left the room. He didn't know where he went and he didn't come back for dinner. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

At midnight, she lay in bed alone, guessing that he wouldn't come back tonight. She couldn't sleep, so she count the sheep with her eyes closed. When she counted to one thousand, the door was pushed open.

She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Soon enough, his hot breath was surrounded her, with a slight smell of wine.

He drank!

She didn't open her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

The room was as quiet as ice. She could almost hear her racing heart. His breathing constantly slapped on her face, letting her know that he was still beside her.

"You little fool." His voice suddenly sounded from the air, very light, very low, as if it was his lips. "I know, in your heart, I am dispensable, but in my heart, you are unique, no one can replace you, so I can't let you go, I can't lose you."

Hearing what he said, Essie's heart contracted violently. The one of a kind? What's the meaning of this? The unique substitute or...

She immediately stopped thinking and dared not think too much. She was afraid that the beautiful soap bubble that she had imagined from her own dreams would be so much. She couldn't bear the huge loss caused by it that it would collapse into a bottomless chasm from the cloud and crush her to pieces.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then he lay down beside her and gently held her in his arms. He didn't dare to let her go because he was afraid that she would be like a kite that had been off its string and never came back.

Unconsciously, she grabbed his collar with her hand. She didn't want him to leave. She couldn't sleep without him. She didn't know when she had become so dependent on him. Perhaps, his position in her heart had long been different, but she didn't realize it.

When she woke up the next morning, she decided to have a good talk with him to stop Mary's plan.

She told him that Cherry and Jenny had come to the clothing store for clothes yesterday.

After hearing that, he sighed deeply. He felt aggrieved and said, "I have arranged Cherry to the market department. If you still don't believe me, I'll fire her right away."

"No, you don't have to do that." With a pout, she continued, "Without her and Jenny, there will still be someone else."

"You little fool." He held her little face and looked at her without a blink. His expression was serious and calm. "Trust me once. I'm not interested in those women."

"There will be more Mary, Emily, Lucy, and Kate on the way, but I'm sure one of them will appeal to you." Essie then shook off his hand, and lay down on the bed with her arms crossed in front of her chest. He stared at him with a fierce look, and he was at a loss what to do next. He felt so distressed that he scratched his head and messed up his black hair.

"I'm not a playboy as you think. My..." He wanted to say that he had given his first time to her, but he had to hold it back. He couldn't say that because he couldn't let her know before the birth of Valery's child.

"Your what?" Seeing that he stopped talking and became silent, Essie asked deliberately.

"You are the only one I have in my world, so it's unnecessary to worry about it." He changed his words tactfully.

With a mocking smile on her face, Essie thought, 'He is acting like a well behaved guy. Didn't he play around with Leila behind my back a short while ago?'

Although her brain was confused and she often had short brain, she was not silly and could understand something clearly. She was just a gorgeous substitute. As long as he met the true love, she had to step aside obediently.

"Never mind. I should be more generous and be more broad-minded." Her thick long eyelashes fluttered, a flicker of strange light flashing across her eyes. "Since those are the woman your mommy arranged for you, just take them all."

"Essie Yi!" Zac growled. His eyes became mad, as if he was on the verge of collapse by her. "If you really want me to accept it, then I will accept them all!" He said angrily.

Instead, Essie put on a smile and wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "Don't be angry. I didn't really mean to ask you to take them."

He gasped with astonishment. Seeing the secret expression on her face, he realized that he had been tricked. He was angry and funny, and said, "You're getting more and more courageous." How dare she make fun of him!

Then Essie smiled and said, "I really ask you to take them. But you should know that taking them is not taking them as lovers."

He pinched her chin tip and said: "Don't keep me in suspense. Be honest, how will you want me to take them?" 'This little head is so clever and full of various ideas if it functions well, ' he thought, 'I'd like to know what ideas she has come up with.'

Essie rolled her black eyes and said, "You should take them this way..." She whispered in his ear. He shook his head and laughed. It was a very interesting idea.
