Lucy didn't expect that things would turn out like this, but she still hated Mary and didn't want to accept
Zac.
"In this case, you should stay away from Zac, or those people will continue to harm you."
"I know what I should do. Just leave me alone, okay?" Essie begged again.
"I did it for your own good. You and Zac are another things, and it has nothing to do with your
relationship with Hanson. No matter what, you shouldn't have refused Hanson like this today. It makes
him so sad. " Lucy poked her daughter's forehead.
Essie was helpless. The reason why she did this was not only for herself, but also for Hanson. Only
when he gave up the idea of being with her could he accept another woman and start a new
relationship with her.
"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go upstairs first." She didn't want to say anything more. She was very clear
that as long as the grudge between her mother and Mary was not resolved, she would not accept Zac.
But now was not the right time to deal with this matter. First, she needed to make things clear about
Christina's false pregnancy.
The next day, she went to the Blue Coast.
It was cloudy in the villa today. The bright sunshine was blocked and couldn't come in.
Seeing Essie, Zac's dark eyes lit up slightly and then quickly sank into the dark shadow.
"I thought you wouldn't come," he said coldly. Essie didn't know when she irritated him.
A changeable big demon was hard to please.
"I haven't paid off my debt of gratitude. I won't leave even if you drive me away." She frowned.
"Hasn't Hanson come back for you?" He snorted and frowned.
Essie was shocked. This big demon was really good at collecting informations.
Her curly eyelashes trembled, and some secrets spilled from them. Sitting next to Zac, she put her face
in front of him and looked at him without blinking, "Icy guy, are you jealous?"
Before she could finished her words, he flicked on her forehead. "Are you a paranoid?" A cold smile
came to the corners of Zac' mouth, as if he was mocking her wishful thinking.
With her hands on her forehead, Essie said, "It's a good thing that people have a little fantasy."
"It's annoying to think too much." His tone was deliberately cold, but his mouth inadvertently raised a
faint smile. His mood seemed to have changed from gloomy to cloudy.
Unfortunately, Essie didn't notice his change but immersed in her sadness and frustration. Because of
his sharp tongue, it was very difficult for an ordinary person to endure his attack.
"If you are not jealous, why do you look fierce? It seems as if I owe you a debt," she lowered her head
and said in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself. But Zac had sharp ears and could hear her.
"You owe me a lot," he retorted rudely and instantly covered her mouth.
Essie also realized that she had said something wrong. She was in debt now.
She patted her own mouth. The powerful aura of the big demon king would always create high
pressure, and make her unable to breathe. In front of him, not only would her brain be weak, but also
her tongue often was not agile.
"As the saying goes, a day together as couple means endless devotion. We have been a couple for so
long. Even if you don't want to invest in our relationship, you don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"
She lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering, and her lips trembling. The sadness in her tone were
like a pair of big hands that touched his heart. He looked into her eyes and gave in after a few seconds'
struggle.
"You little fool, don't you want to make up with Hanson?" His voice sounded warm, as if he wanted to
win her over.
She raised her eyelashes slightly, and her big black eyes were blinking, "Do you want me to make up
with him?"
He moved his eyes to a cup on the tea table, and then opened his thin lips slightly. In a domineering
and tyrannical manner, he said, "No."
She seemed to be burned, and there was a fervent flame in her eyes. A smile, like the ink in a water
tank, gently melted on her face, and the slow and poetic spread, spreading... Finally it reached all over
the eyebrows. "I know you don't want me to leave."
As if Zac was affected by her, his eyes lit up, like a black crystal ball, reflecting all sorts of complicated
and strange light. He picked up the tea cup on the table and had a small sip. When he turned his eyes
back on her, the look on his face became deep and cold. "I know you always say no while mean yes,
but I didn't expect you to be such a wishful thinking girl."
"What do you mean?" His voice was deep, like the cold weather from Siberia, soon frozen all her
emotions. Her voice was trembling, as if her throat was frostbit.
"I don't have any feelings for you. I just want you to pay me back. Before that, you can't go anywhere."
What he said was so cruel that her eyes were soon covered with tears. The incandescent lamp above
her head cast a shadow on the ground. She shrank a little into the shadow of the sofa, trying to hide
her sadness. "Don't forget our agreement that we need to exchange our hearts."
Hearing that, his eyes blinked. All of a sudden, he leaned his body closer to her. His left arm was
against the back of the sofa, forming a gesture of half hugging her. "Where is your heart now?" he
asked.
The sudden question made her a little nervous. "No... I won't tell you. " Her tongue was somewhat
knotted.
The muscles at the corners of his mouth were tightened, as if he were gritting his teeth. It seemed that
he was not satisfied with her answer. He moved down his hand and grabbed her left chest, as if to hold
her heart. "Tell me, is your heart still at Hanson?"
She slightly turned her head away. He put too much pressure on her, making her unable to breathe.
"What about you? Where is your heart? Does it still at Leila?"
she asked, acting like a spoiled child. Before she got the heart of the demon king, she had to keep her
mouth shut so that it wouldn't talk nonsense and reveal her secret. This was her last dignity. If he knew
that her heart had already been captured, he would definitely tease her till death.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He knocked her head lightly with one of his fingers and
said, "You are suffering from delusional disorder again."
She was a little shocked, and her eyes suddenly opened wide with a little confusion, surprise, and a
little excitement.
He meant that he didn't love Leila anymore, didn't he?
He was a demon, so he must hate to be threatened the most. It seemed that Leila had obtained him,
but she was actually accelerate to lose him.
If now his heart was empty, then her opportunity would come!
She was too excited to notice the smile on her face.
Zac keenly noticed it. His deliberately cold appearance melted in an instant. His eyes became so gentle
that they were almost dripping with water. However, it was a pity that the melting process was very
violent and very short. When she turned her eyes to look at his face, they disappeared and became ice
cold again.
But this time, she also realized her inappropriate behavior, so she quickly restrained her smile.
However, Zac wouldn't let her go so easily. He just wanted to squeeze out all her hidden feelings like
fruit juice.
"What are you happy for?" he asked.
"Nothing... I didn't. " She dropped her head in a hurry, her mind a complete blank. She didn't know what
to say.
He held her chin tip and forced her to look up at him. He stared at her, not letting her escape and said,
"Do you feel happy in secret because I don't like Leila?"
"I... I didn't. don't talk nonsense. It has nothing to do with me whether you like Leila or not. " Her cheeks
were redder than apples in Washington. And her lips seemed to be flushing. They were like red
cherries soaked in wine.
"Really?" He slightly raised his thick eyebrows, staring at her with penetrating force, and asked, "Then
why are you blushing?"
"It's too hot. You are so close to me. How hot it is." Her eyes rolled around as she found an excuse to
answer his pressing questions.
He sighed softly, "Since you don't care, should I try to save my heart to Leila?" He said it carelessly, as
if he was saving something in a supermarket, not talking about love.
She frowned and was dissatisfied with his serious, indifferent attitude. "Can you store your
heart anywhere at will?" she asked.
"You don't care, do you?" He sneered and moved back a little. His expression was hidden in the
shadow outside the light, which was hard for her to understand.
"I... We said that we should exchange our hearts with each other. What if you forget the password
when your heart belongs to another person? "
She twitched her nose and spoke in a funny way, which made him could not help raising the corners of
his mouth. "It's really a serious problem. How about keeping it in you first? Then I can take it anytime. "
His voice was calm. She could not tell from his expression that he was joking but she still wanted to
nod.
At the moment when she realized it, she quickly took back her thought. She bit her lower lip and said,
"Are you thinking it's fun to tease me?"
He slightly leaned his body and his handsome face was once again visible in the light. But his dark
eyes were covered by his half falling eyelashes, which made him look deep and enigmatic. "You are a
little self-aware to know that I am joking you. You are so silly and muddled. How could I put my
precious heart to you? In case you lose it, even a hundred of yours together can't afford it."
She trembled violently. Although she tried to keep calm on her face, she felt as if thousands of wild
horses were galloping and trampling in her mind, and her heart was like a spear that was stabbed and
attacked.
'this man is a shame to me! How dare he humiliate me like this.
"Zac, don't go too far. If you really don't care about me, why did you try so hard to collude with
Christina, set up Hanson and ruin my engagement ceremony? If it were not for your tricks, I could have
been Hanson's wife. How could I have the spare time to stand here and be insulted and bullied by you?
