Zac didn't answer, but in his heart he gave an answer of refusal. Besides, Essie was the only woman that he wanted to have.

"Leila, didn't we say that we would be good friends forever? I will keep my promise. "

"At that time, I thought that I was a member of the Qin family and we were doomed not to be together, so I asked for being friends. But now I'm not a part of Qin family anymore. I can marry you and be your wife. I don't want to be just a friend of you. " Leila shook her head hard.

"Promise is not a joke. It can't be changed." Zac said in a firm tone.

Leila's heart was like being kicked into the ice sea. It was so cold that her limbs were frozen. She would not give up. Even if Essie could take him away, she could also take him back.

As soon as she came out of the Emperor, Leila went straight to the Hengyuan to find Essie and declare war with her.

"I've just come back from Zac's company. We are together for the whole day. We don't have to worry about the no-marry ban between Rong and Qin family. We can get married and have children. We can live happily together." She grinned and pretended to be excited.

"So what?" Essie replied in a calm voice

"So I hope you can stay away from Zac. Stop pestering him and be a third party to destroy our relationship." Leila warned.

"Miss Leila, you came here to tell me this. Are you lacking of confidence?" Hearing this, Essie sneered. Weren't she worried that they would be apart soon if they showed off their love in such a hurry?

"I'm confident. It's just that after so many setbacks we have experienced, we can finally be together. I don't want anyone to interfere in our relationship and ruin our happiness." Leila raised her voice deliberately to hide her guilt.

"Miss Leila, you don't have to tell me that. I'm not interested in your business. I have a lot of things to do. Take care." Essie didn't want to waste her time with Leila anymore. Whether they were back together or not, it was none of her business.

"Well, I believe you. Since you have accepted Hanson's proposal, you won't be such a faithless woman who would cheat on two men at the same time." Leila reminded her the relationship between Hanson and her on purpose in case that she forgot about it and swayed.

Essie turned her eyes to the computer and ignored her. Then Leila finished her lies and left.

As soon as the door was closed, Essie fell into the abyss, and her heart was badly mangled.

Zac shall be very happy, for he finally got what he wanted and could marry his beloved one. Could she, a substitute, disappear from his world after he got what he wanted? She smiled bitterly. Her dark eyes dimmed for a moment, with a tinge of light flashing across. No, his hidden disease hasn't been cured yet and he needs her. Even if he and Leila get married, it can only be platonic.

Thinking of this, Essie somehow had a hint of gloating smile in her heart. Although she knew that it was not right, she could not bless them. What's more, she hoped that Zac's hidden disease wouldn't not be cured for a lifetime. She couldn't imagine what it would be like when he m

adows that were thicker than the dark night on their eyelids.

His heart was twisting. A strong uneasiness gathered like a strong cloud, blocking the light and hope above his head.

After he left, Lucy and Essie entered the villa. Lucy sat on the sofa in the hall and turned her head to the side, not looking at her daughter. Obviously she was angry.

"Mother, I was with Zac because of business. Now Elizabeth and Bles have joined forces to deal with me. I can't handle it by myself. I need the help of Zac." Essie explained in a low voice.

After being silent for a while, Lucy finally turned her head and said, "I know you still have some feelings for Zac. But you have to understand that he is not your Mr. right. You will only repeat my tragedy if you marry him."

"I understand." She lowered her head and felt mixed feelings.

Hearing that, Lucy took a look at her. She believed that Essie hadn't understood all that. Essie would not regret until she had missed something, but it was too late to do that. This time, Lucy wanted to be a quick knife and help Essie to get rid of all the affairs between her and Zac. There would be no fantasy left on Essie.

"When you came back last time, the kids clamored to see you. Your father and I took them here. Now they are with Hanson." She didn't inform Essie in advance on purpose, so that she could come to this spot inspection to see if she still had connection with Zac. She did not expect that she really met him.

"Let's get some sleep. We'll arrive at Yang City tomorrow," Essie stood up and went upstairs. She needed to be alone.

The next day when she went out, Lucy told her to bring the residence booklet. She was a little surprised. "Why do I take this?"

"I have something to do. You just take it." Lucy said in a plain tone. Without thinking too much, Essie put on the residence booklet and followed her out.

It was the first time that Mili and Dot had been to Yang City. Hanson planned to take them out on boat for a couple of days. Lucy refused, "We won't go out today. I have an important thing to do."
