A Beautiful Misunderstanding

With a hint of slyness on her face, Essie added, "If I divorce you, will you really not marry again?" Even though her heart was thudding against her chest in anticipation of his answer, she tried to look composed.

"The word 'second marriage' doesn't exist in my dictionary. The best I can do is make sure you won't leave me. Or else this man will be all alone." He suddenly pursed the corners of his mouth and his expression became extremely serious.

Her heart skipped a beat. 'Isn't he afraid I would be with him like a headache forever?' she wondered.

"Be careful with your words, Zac. You may regret it in the future. You will meet a lot of women and might fall for one of them." She passed him a challenging look. People like him would have a line of girls even in his seventies or eighties. It was impossible to expect his admiration forever. Besides, his relationship with Leila had been strong. He could think about her and get back with her. Perhaps one day, the elders of the two families would give in. They may decide to make peace and accept the marriage.

"There is no point in thinking about the future. You will know what kind of person I am once you spend all your life with me." He reached out and stroked her head. He was a bit disappointed since his words didn't hold any weight; Essie looked doubtful.

"Then you would need to pray that the baby in Valery's belly is not yours. There is no way I am staying if that is the case. I would rather die than be a stepmother. Being Valery's baby's stepmother would be a nightmare." She was actually going to be that little kid's auntie. But aunt was a position she could handle. Stepmother was a scary business.

With a self-assured smile on his face, Zac believed he had nothing to worry. She belonged to him and no one could snatch her away.

The Emperor's building was located in a prosperous commercial area. This building had ninety-nine floors, looking grand and magnificent even to the outsider. Essie stood for a minute, admiring its beauty.

Zac's and Essie's entrance held everyone's attention.

Prior to this, Zac hadn't brought any woman to the company. This was quite a shock to them.

"Hello, Mr. President," the receptionist greeted him.

"This is my wife," Zac said. Slowly, he introduced Essie to the people around him. Nobody knew about this and the announcement came as a shock. Bidding them farewell, he took her to the elevator.
