"Maybe she thinks you are stupid." A mocking smile appeared on his face.
Eva rolled her eyes at him and raised her neck, "I think she has a good eye. Except for your first love,
the women you dated later are too cheap. They either have plastic surgery or material worship. But I'm
different. I'm naturally beautiful and pure. In her eyes, I'm the most competitive one. "
Jim slightly choked and looked at her from head to toe with a strange look. Then there was undisguised
contempt in his eyes. "Heaven pepper, I was surprised to find another characteristic of you."
"What is it?" Eva pouted.
"You are most shameless one in this earth." Jim stretched out his big hand and pinched her face. "If
you say ordinary is natural beauty, and boring is temperament simple, you are really invincible."
Eva got angry. Jim's venomous tongue was as poisonous as a Datura mixed with a White Oranda with
Red Cap, which could poison people to death.
"If you think I'm not good, it only proves that your eyes are above your head. You're too picky." She
wanted to say that he was snobbish, but for the sake of the steak he cut for her, she decided to be
polite.
"In your opinion, I should just accept a fool like you with the intelligence of a trilobite?" Jim sneered.
"Forget it. Don't try to hurt us. Birds of the same feather flock together. You'd better continue to find
your kind." Eva waved her hand.
Jim picked up the red wine at hand and took a sip slowly. "Heaven pepper, you can play the bad man,
but can't I play the bad woman?"
Eva trembled violently, "What do you mean?"
Jim didn't respond, but curled his lips.
She put a piece of steak into her mouth and looked at him in astonishment while chewing. There was
an incredible look in her eyes.
Scum Jim could change his girlfriend every day. In a word, none of his girlfriends could be
with him more than a week. According to his taste, it was impossible for him to choose such a cheap
woman. Did he do it on purpose?
"Aren't you a neat freak?" she muttered.
Of course, Jim should know what she meant?
His face darkened. "You're talking too much nonsense."
"Well, let's stop talking. I want to eat something." Eva stuck out her tongue at him and buried her head.
After a long silence, Jim's voice came again, "Where is your fiance? You are injured. Shouldn't he
come to serve you?"
After eating the last piece of steak, Eva sighed with satisfaction. "My Vinton is developing new markets
in Southeast Asia market. He won't come back until the Spring Festival. I only tell him the happy news
and never bad news about me every day. I don't want him to worry about me and let him work at ease."
This time, Vinton was ambitious and wanted to make some achievements to show his father, so she felt
that she couldn't hold him back.
"What a good wife!" Jim said with a faint smile.
"I am." Raising her eyebrows, Eva didn't want to be modest at all.
"Is Vinton lucky or unlucky to marry you?"
Jim took a sip of wine and said in a low voice, like a cold wind blowing in front of Eva. She put down
her fork and stared at him with one hand on her waist. "Of course he will be lucky to marry me. My little
Vinton and I are a happy pair either in heaven or on earth."
"Show off your love will not end up good." Jim snorted. He was very unhappy with her happiness.
"Don't jinx me!" Eva spat angrily. She and her Vinton would live happily ever after.
Jim's eyes flashed with jealousy. The Matchmaker must be drunk, so he made a match for heaven
pepper. It was so interesting to leave her single all the time.
Essie had expected that Zac would come to pick her up three days later, because three days had
always been his limit. Even if she didn't want to go back, he would pack her up and carry her back. She
had no human rights in front of the big devil.
Therefore, she planned to go on a trip and leave Dragon City, so that she could escape from the big
devil.
"Mommy, did you arrange a vacation all of a sudden to avoid daddy?" Mili whispered in her ear.
Hearing that, Essie was choked. She rubbed her little head and said, "It's an adult's business. You little
kid shall leave it alone."
Mili pouted and said, "Well, I don't care. As long as you won't get divorced, that's enough."
Essie felt a gust of cold wind blowing in front of her.
She felt like a crystal exposed under the sun, transparent in front of Zac and also in front of the
children.
Lucy and Bob also noticed that. It seemed that their previous guess was true. The young couple did
have a fight. But they had reached an agreement that they wouldn't ask Essie about it if she did not say
and let her have a good rest.
The mountains and rivers of City E were beautiful. It was a tourist resort. They could book a hotel style
villa. It was the most suitable for a family to have a holiday. There were hot springs in it and they could
do spa.
"Mommy, it's so nice here. If only sis Shyla could come and play with us," Rabi said with a smile, rolling
on the woolen blanket.
"Okay. Next time we go on a holiday, let's ask sis Shyla to join us." With a doting smile, Essie looked at
her son.
After Lucy washed the cherries and brought them to the children, Bob sat on the sofa and played with
his little grandson. With his little grandson whose surname was Yi, he felt there was not any regrets in
his life.
Although Essie tried her best not to think about what had happened to Alice for the time being, she still
felt sad. She had no news of her sister. She didn't know where she was suffering. How could she be
happy?
In the evening, after the children fell asleep, she went to the hot spring alone. Her internal injury was so
serious, and she needed to use the hot spring water to heal herself.
She leaned her head against the stone pillow and closed her eyes, listening to Beethoven's sad and
agitated 'Fate Symphony'.
When she was sleepy, a big hand reached out. She shivered. She was stopped before she screamed
out of horror.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the fascinating face of Zac.
She was even more frightened.
She turned her head away to give herself a chance to speak.
"Why are you here?"
"I said I would pick you up in three days."
Zac's low voice reached her ear, as if a strong current was transmitted through her spine, making her
tremble slightly.
"I don't want to see you. You can't let me be quiet for a few days?" She punched him on the shoulder
angrily.
"If I don't come, can your chaotic brain be enlightened?" Zac grabbed her waist and lifted it gently. She
tried hard to push him away, but how could that weak force shake him?
"Zac, you bastard! Let go of me!" Her fist was like a rain on his shoulder, and she was about to go
crazy with anger.
A trace of cruelty flashed across Zac's face, and then the sound of cloth tearing came from the hot
spring.
"Shameless!" She felt ashamed and anger and bit him on the shoulder. She bit hard, and soon the
smell of blood came into her mouth, but she did not let it go. Her anger had completely made her lose
her mind.
She hated him, herself, and even this kind of situation in his hand that she couldn't resist and escape.
In front of him, she was always in a weak position. She was invaded, rolled over, and killed in an
instant.
A drop of tear fell down from her eyes and broke into the water. He seemed to feel it and loosened his
strength.
She didn't remember how she went back to her room. Her body and mind were taken away.
Holding her in his arms, Zac breathed evenly and slowly.
He hadn't slept for almost three days when she was away, so he wouldn't allow her to leave him for
more than three days.
Essie also fell asleep. She was so exhausted that she didn't have the strength to be angry.
The second day, when she opened her eyes, it was already ten o'clock. Zac lazily leaned against the
head of the bed, staring at her with deep and gloomy eyes.
She ignored him and didn't want to talk to him. She sat up silently and went to the bathroom to take a
shower.
Zac's handsome face was covered with dark clouds. He could see that she didn't plan to make up with
him and continued to quarrel with him.
"Zac, I will cooperate with you, but I won't forgive you or myself," she said word by word coldly.
"Who am I to you?" Anger was ignited in Zac's dark and cold eyes.
"Who am I to you? My family means anything to you? " Essie retorted.
Zac pinched her chin, "Lack of forbearance upsets great plans."
She raised her arm and shook off his hand. "I'm not as resourceful and powerful as you. I only know
that my family is more important than anything or any interests."
"I'm also your family!" Zac reminded her in a clear and powerful tone.
"So I will cooperate with you. This is the only thing I can do. Don't expect too much." Unless she saw
that Alice was fine, she couldn't overcome the barrier in her heart.
Zac sighed heavily and helplessly. Family affection was the weakness of Essie. Once she was pinched,
the sequela would be difficult to remove. But he wouldn't give in. There was no room for negotiation in
front of the success or failure of the overall situation.
"If you can't figure it out, just think about your son. That bastard is not dead yet. He will come back at
any time. If you want to go to find Alice regardless of everything, I can cooperate with you. You are
responsible for the consequences! " His tone was quite sharp, which could be said to hit the nail on the
head. Essie shivered and curled up.
In fact, she knew what he was worried about, so she did nothing. But she couldn't overcome the barrier
in her heart, especially when he lied to her and failed her complete trust. She couldn't trust him
unconditionally as before.
