A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 236 First Love That Was Nothing (Part Two)

He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Then he opened the drawer and took out the invitation card. "Well, I'm not kidding. Tomorrow is the birthday for Leila. Would you like to go with me?"

Essie was startled and thought, 'Is he kidding me? He wanted to take me with him? What did he mean?'

"It's your old lover's birthday. If I go there, won't it ruin the chance for you to chat about the good old days?" She pouted. That was a sweet talk. Zac reached out his finger and lightly clicked on it. "Right now, Leila and I are only good friends. You are my wife. I hope you two can be friends too."

Friend? How is that possible? Have you ever seen a rival in love turn into a friend?

Enemies in love are incompatible as fire and water. They are incompatible with each other. It's the relationship that only one can survive between you and me!

Besides, Leila hated her for stealing other people's love and her replace. She would never be friendly to her.

"You can go by yourself. I don't want to go with you. I stay at home and watch TV." She pushed him away, sat beside the bed and held the pillow.

"You have no choice, you have to go with me." He changed to a firm tone.

"I don't know her very well, so why must I go with you?" It was none of her business to celebrate the birthday of his first love. Did she have to go with him to congratulate him? To be a substitute of them was enough to feel bad, depressed, and to be reminded all the time, even if she was a grass root, she had self-esteem.

"Because I have to go. From now on, as long as I appear in public, you must be with me. You can't be absent without special circumstances." He was as domineering as a king who was high up and

released royal decree.

She was speechless.

When did she became his retinue and accompanying?

She was his wife, not a puppet or subordinate. It was her freedom to go to a place or not and he had no right to interfere with it!

"I won't go." She turned her head and confronted him bravely.

"You're letting me do whatever I want, right? Considering that I've got an excellent opportunity, I guess there's no need to keep a low profile." He said in a low voice, but his words were very decisive and threatening.

If she didn't go this time, it would be like giving him a green light, allowing him to pass on the peach blossom bloomed road freely. No matter what he would do in the future, he didn't have to worry about her, his legal wife. She always pampered him.

"Forget it. I don't have any appointment tomorrow night anyway. I will accompany you to have fun." She surrendered, mainly for her own health. If he did not come back soon and got dirty, she would be contaminated as well.

Zac raised his thin lips. His smile was self-willed and allowed. What the dull people liked to say was not what on their minds.

On the evening of the next day, Essie wore a piece of classic dark ink dress, with her long hair curled up without any make-up, and she just applied the lip gloss, looking fresh and beautiful.

The bright smile on Leila's face faded when she saw Essie. She didn't expect that Zac would bring her here. Today, he should belong to her, only to her!

Holding Zac's arm, Essie seemed to be challenging her. There was no substitute for being humble.

She didn't mind even though she would bear the responsibility even if his true love came to make things difficult on her.

"Happy birthday, Leila," With that, he handed the gift to her. She didn't know what it was, but without guessing, she knew it must be something expensive.

"Thank you, Zac." Leila smiled, "Can I open it now?"

"Of course. Let's see if you like it." Zac said, with a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Leila opened the pretty packing paper and opened a delicate wooden box. Inside was a limited edition emerald watch.

"It's so beautiful!" She said excitedly. Her eyes were twinkling. "Thank you, brother Zac."

Looking at them, Essie thought, 'Why does this icy guy give a watch to her first love on her birthday?' In memory of the happy time they spent together?

Leila put the watch on her wrist. She liked it very much. She was showing off to Essie indirectly.

How could Essie not see it through her mind? She was expressionless and looked indifferent. Even if she is just a substitute, she is the legally protected wife. I can't let the other woman get the upper hand.

"Honey, let's go and greet other friends," She called him 'honey' intimately. Only she had the right to call him like that. Even if he loved Leila, she didn't have the right to call him like that.

Leila's pretty face twitched. Apparently she was irritated by how Essie addressed him. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Excuse me." Zac nodded to her and left with Essie. Watching their intimacy, Leila was jealous.

At last, Christina entered the club. Her male partner was bright and handsome, as if she was a prince who had just walked out of a comic book.

This tall and familiar figure sent Essie into a spasm.

Since they parted in the Mint Coffee House, she had never seen Hanson again. These days he was very busy. He successfully purchased a real estate public company, and held a famous BD group in A City. Not only did he let Bella win, but also became the most powerful leading company in Yang City, surpassing Yang Group.

Hanson also saw her. She was always the most beautiful star among all the make-up artists, making him infatuated with her and heartbreaking at the same time.
