Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 46 Whose Car Did You Get On

"What did you buy?" His voice was still eerily calm, just like the waves before a big storm, solemn and

slow. She thought for a moment and remembered that she had told him that she would go to the

supermarket. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "The fruit wasn't fresh, so I decided not to

buy any."

"Did you forget your wallet?" Zac snorted before grabbing the wallet from the table and throwing it at

her.

"Yes— Yes, I forgot my wallet." Embarrassed, Essie scratched her head and bit her lip. She forced

herself to smile and pretended to be calm. Then, she said, "Where are we going to have dinner

tonight?"

"Wherever," Zac replied faintly.

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. She had a feeling that there was something wrong with

him. Even though he had a blank expression on his face, there seemed to be some coldness hidden in

his eyes. He looked so cold that she could not help but tremble.

"How about the porridge shop? Over there..." Before she could even finish her words, Zac turned

around and entered the room. Then he slammed the door behind him with so much force that the entire Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

house seemed to tremble.

Something was definitely wrong.

Perhaps he was angered by what happened in aunt Wendy's house that morning.

Zac was a man who was good at hiding his thoughts. Her aunt's words were immensely mean and

hurtful, so even though he was pretending to be calm, his self-esteem may be deeply hurt.

Essie knew that she needed to comfort him.

So she immediately walked up to his door and knocked.

When nobody answered, she said, "Zac, please don't take my aunt's words to heart. She has always

had a sharp tongue. We are still young and our career is just starting. It's normal for us to not have a

house and a car of our own. You are a very smart person. As long as you work hard, you will definitely

become better than Antony!"

Upon hearing her words, Zac was at a loss about whether he should laugh or cry.

This fool had no idea why he was so angry. His anger was just like vented on a pile of soft cotton, but

bruised his insides.

There was still no reply from the other side of the door. An idea struck Essie, and she was just about to

change the way she was comforting him when her mother called all of a sudden and asked her to go to

the hotel.

After finding out what happened from Lucy, Bob decided it was best to beat around the bush. So when

Essie arrived at the hotel, he asked, "Essie, are you not satisfied with Zac?"

"No, I'm absolutely satisfied with him." Essie was quite confused. She had no idea why her father was

asking her that.

"Zac is not in a good condition right now. He has no house or car. Does that make you dislike him?"

Bob asked again.

"Dad, do you think I'm that kind of person?" She pouted her lips in discontent. The atmosphere in the

room was quite weird, and her parents were being strange.

Upon hearing this, Bob and Lucy looked at each other. They weren't really worried about their daughter

because of this. After all, if their daughter disliked the poor, then she would have gone back to live with

her rich biological father.

"Zac doesn't like to say sweet words. Won't you get a little bored after a while?" Even though Lucy had

not spent a lot of time with Zac yet, she had learned his personality and gotten to know him well. She

found that he was not very good at or disliked expressing his inner feelings or thoughts.

"No, it won't." Essie looked at her mother with a puzzled look on her face and thought about what to

say next. 'Were my mom and dad bewitched by aunt Wendy's words? Do they dislike Zac for having no

house or car of his own?' she thought.

"Haven't you accepted him yet?" she asked tentatively.

"We have. Both your dad and I think that Zac is a good person. It's you we're worried about." Lucy took

her hand and continued, "You're still young, and you haven't experienced much. You may have gotten

married a little earlier than most, but since you've already got a marriage certificate, you should learn

how to settle down and live a good life."

Essie was very confused. She couldn't understand what her mother meant by her words. "What on

earth are you trying to tell me?" she asked.

Lucy decided not to beat around the bush anymore. "Tell me honestly, whose car did you get on

today?"

Essie finally understood!

"No, you misunderstood what happened. He is my senior, and he is getting married soon. In fact, he's

giving me an invitation to the wedding," she said, thinking that it was probably the best explanation.

She did not dare to mention anything about her admiration for Hanson.

"Really? Are you serious?" Lucy stared at her daughter with sharp eyes.

"Mom, I hate having affairs as much as you do," she added.

With a smile, Bob took his wife in his arms and said, "As I said, you're just being too sensitive. Our

daughter is the most obedient girl in the world, and she would never make such a mistake."

Lucy heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "Zac was at the stairway when

you got in the car, so he saw it with his own eyes. He looked very angry, so there must be some

misunderstanding between you two. You have to explain all this to him as soon as possible."

Of course, any man would be bothered if he saw his wife getting into the luxury car of another man.

Essie was shocked again. It turned out that that was the reason Zac got angry. No wonder her attempt

to comfort him didn't work.

Now, she knew exactly what to do. 'Just wait and see,' she thought.

After leaving the hotel, Essie went to a fruit store first and bought some oranges—Zac's favorite fruit.

She was now ready to launch a sweet attack.
