A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 306 Not Related Biologically

When Malcolm and Finney went into the banquet hall, with the sight of them, Essie smiled, "The representative of Hengyuan Co., Ltd is here, Mr. Rong and I are going to say hello to them. Excuse us." Then she held Zac's arm intimately and went away.

Leila's beautiful face twisted in jealousy. She really hated her last name, or how could someone take Zac away from her again.

When Finney saw that Essie and Zac were together again, she was surprised and confused. In Jiang City, she was with Hanson, and the two went to the hospital to visit her grandfather together. Why did it change to be her ex-brother-in-law when she came back. 'Oh my God! Was she involved in a love triangle?'

While Zac was talking with Malcolm, she pulled Essie aside and asked, "Have you made it up with ex- brother-in-law?" In Yang City, she didn't know the true identity of Zac. After coming to Dragon City, she knew that he was not only the president of the Emperor, but also the future boss of the richest family, incomparably wealthy and powerful.

Essie didn't know how to explain the relationship between her and Zac, "We... We are just getting along like friends," she said understatedly.

"Didn't you attend the party as the wife of the CEO of the Emperor?" Raising her eyebrows, Finney didn't believe her at all.

"Sister, his relationship with me is quite complicated, and it's not as clear as what you think. I'll explain it to you later." Essie could only change the subject.

Finney patted her on the shoulder, with a look of admiration on her face, and said, "You were born to be the wife of the president. You are the wife of the president no matter you will marry to Zac or Hanson."

With a smile on her face, Essie said, "Don't worry about me anymore. There are a lot of young talents present at the anniversary ceremony of the Emperor. You must keep your beauty, and try to be the wife of the president as soon as possible."

"That makes sense. I should take a look around." Finney snickered, arranged her hair, and turned to the front of the banquet hall.

Essie drank a little wine again and went to the dressing room. After he had a conversation with several bosses, Zac couldn't find her, so he went to Finney who was standing not far away and asked, "Finney, are you accustomed to living in Dragon City now?"

"Yes, I'm quite used to it." Finney smiled.

"I heard from Essie that grandpa Yi had a heart attack. Did parents in law come back from America as well?" he asked casually.

"Yes, all of them are back." Finney nodded. She had only stayed in Jiang City for only two days. When she knew that her grandfather was out of danger, she went back. She had no idea about Mili and Dot at all.

"Will they go back?" Zac asked casually.

"I don't think so. They went to America because they want to take care of Essie. But now Essie is in China now, so it is meaningless for them to go back there." Finney shook her head.

"They only have one child. They want to live together with her." Zac shrugged. Three years ago, he had planned to bring Essie's parents to Dragon City for the convenience of them to take care of after he settled down Valery's business, but...

After taking a sip of champagne, Finney raised a corner of her mouth and said, "Essie is not my uncle's biological daughter, but she is closer to my uncle than her biological father. I don't even have such a good relationship with my father."

Zac was shocked by what she said. "She's not father-in-law's biological daughter?"

Now, Finney realized that she had said something wrong. She hastily covered her mouth with her hands. She had thought that Essie had told him about it, but to her surprise, he didn't know at all.

"Well... Essie comes. Go and find her." With that, he slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

Zac turned his head and saw Essie walking towards him. "Where's my sister? Why couldn't she see me?" She looked around.

"I think she went to talk to vice president Ji," Zac answered. It suddenly dawned on him that he actually didn't know much about this confused little fool. She seemed to have hidden a lot of secrets, but she had never opened them to him.

Essie didn't go to find Finney. God knew which rich and powerful man she had a crush on, so she didn't want to disturb them.

After the banquet, Zac took Essie back to the villa. On the way back, he was unusually silent, and she keenly noticed his abnormality. She didn't know what upset this CEO again. This volatility had always been the most important character in his personality.

After bathing, she was forcefully pulled by a pair of big hands.

"Essie, I have a question for you. In the past half year of our marriage, have you ever treated me as your husband?"

Hearing this, Essie was stunned for a while. He looked serious and gloomy. It seemed that he was not just asking this question casually, but extremely serious. He would not stop unless he got the answer.

"What about you? Have you ever treated me as your wife?" she asked instead of answering him.

"You are always my wife." he replied in a straightforward and straightforward tone, without any hesitation.

However, she didn't believe him at all. With a sneer at the corners of her mouth, she asked, "Didn't you used me as cannon fodder to ward off your marriage with Valery?"

Zac shook his head with a bitter smile. "I admit that I had such an idea when I was in Yang City. But after returning to Dragon City, I really hope to live with you."

Essie took his hand off her and walked to the window. She opened it and the night wind blew in through the window, tousled her hair. "My husband has to be a reliable and trustworthy man, but you can't give me a sense of security. I can't tell which words you say are truth which are lies and I don't know how to believe you either. "

A sad expression crept into his eyes. "Am I so untrustworthy?"

"You don't trust me, do you?" She sneered.

"It's not that I don't trust you," Zac said, holding her shoulders.

"Really?" She looked up at him, a wry smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Then why didn't you tell me about your relationship with Valery? Why would you rather lose your promise to me than give me the paternity test of Rabi before the operation?"

"I..." Zac didn't know what to say.

She shook off his hand and turned to look out of the window. Her eyes were filled with resentment, even deeper than the night outside. "The most important thing between couples is to trust each other. Since we don't believe each other, why should we be forced to be together?"

She sounded so desperate as if she had lost confidence in him and in this marriage. His heart shuddered and he held her in his arms, fearing that she would leave him again. "Let's start all over again. From now on, let's learn to believe each other and stop misunderstanding."

She was silent and cold. It was too late. They couldn't be together again, unless he was not the son of Mary.

"Maybe we are not destined to be together anymore. We can't just be together. If we keep on doing things that we don't want to, we will only hurt each other deeply," she said weakly.

"No, our fates will never come to an end. We shall have a full life to be together." His expression was as firm as a piece of granite. Even if it really disappeared, he would go to find the Matchmaker to give it to him.

"Frozen guy." She heaved a deep sigh and said in a tone of begging, "A man as excellent as you, can have any kind of woman you want. I am just a dispensable supporting dish. You have played with me for so long and now you are tired of me. Since you are not interested in me anymore, why do you have to tie me to your side? I'm a person. I'm not your private property! I beg for your mercy. Please let me go this time!" A thin mist gradually rose from her eyes. She had never felt so humble and sad as she was now.

On his handsome face, a muscle twitched slightly. Zac suddenly realized that there was a big misunderstanding between them.

"You little fool." He held her face and made her look at him. "Can't you hear it at all? What I said to you before was just angry words. You're not a supporting dish. You're the only main dish I'm willing to order, and I'm not tired of eating it all my life."

Really?

She was shocked by his words, and she suddenly felt like she was in a complicated mood. She said, "Then why do you tell Jim that I'm silly and confused, and when you see me, you get a headache. Are those angry words too?"

"When did I tell him..." Taking a pause, Zac remembered that he did said those words three years ago. It seemed that this muddle headed girl had held grudges for so long. "Those are not angry words. You are indeed silly, confused and very troublesome." He smirked.

"I know it." In a fit of anger, she clenched her fist and hit him on his shoulder. Her hand was wrapped in a warm big hand in the air. "I haven't finished yet. In fact, I am very enjoyed with it. If I don't get a headache because of you every day, then life will be boring."

What? What the hell did that mean?

She lowered her head and felt complicated. As if it made her heart sour, sweet and numb at NôvelDrama.Org © content.

the same time. She couldn't tell exactly what she felt.

He kissed her affectionately when she was lost in thought. At the same time, he wanted to express all his feelings to her in this kiss.

The moon shone through the treetops and surrounded them. At this moment, their hearts were so close. There was no dispute, no hindrance, and no misunderstanding. There was only warmth and harmony between them.

In the morning, Essie was in a good mood. Even when she sat on the sofa, she wanted to laugh happily. Since she came back to the Dragon City, she had never been so happy like this. She was confused about this feeling.

Zac came out of the bathroom, made a cup of coffee and sat beside her. "What are you doing?"

"Look at entertainment gossip." She shrugged.

"Yesterday, I heard a gossip about you from Finney," Zac said in a careless tone.

She was shocked violently, and her face suddenly turned pale. God, was it the matter of Mili and Dot? Finney and her relatives hadn't seen them yet? Did aunt Wendy discover it and tell her as if it was a shocking gossip?
