A Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Leila, let Christina cut the cake with you this time." He handed the knife to Christina.

"Okay." Christina also didn't think it was a good idea for Zac to cut the cake with her elder sister anymore. After all, he was married and his wife was here to watch them. It was better not to draw any attention from them.

Leila felt disappointed. This was the worst and saddest birthday she had ever had in her twenty-five years.

After the cake was finished, she took advantage of the time when Essie went to the make-up room, and walked towards Zac.

"Zac, can we get along with each other as before?" As she frowned, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Leila, we are always good friends," Zac said in a low and deep voice.

Leila's heart ached. His family name was Rong while her family name was Qin. They could only be friends and could not be a couple in their lifetime.

"Zac, I know why you are married to Essie," she said it after taking a sip of champagne.

Zac was shocked. "What do you want to say, Leila?"

A strange smile appeared on Leila's face. "You and Essie got married just to get rid of Valery. You don't love her at all."

There was a muscle on Zac's handsome face. "Who told you that?" asked him.

"It's Essie. She admitted in person that you and her are just partners. You don't love her and she doesn't love you. The one she really loves is Hanson, and the one you love is..." She stopped talking. She wanted to tell him that she was the one he loved, but she dared not say anything more when she saw his gloomy face and angry face. It had been so many years since they were together. However no one admitted their relationship in advance. It was obviously not a good time to confess it now, as they had never done that before.

Rage was rising in Zac's eyes. "When did she tell you?"

"The first time you took her to a party, I was also there. But I didn't go to see you, actually." Leila answered haltingly. She thought that Zac was mad at her because Essie had told her that he didn't want her to know. But when she saw that he was getting more and more intimate with Essie, to the point of making it serious, she couldn't help but tell him about it.

Blue veins stood out on Zac's forehead. Raising his head, he drained the glass in one gulp.

As soon as Essie came out of the dressing room, she saw Hanson, who was standing not far away from her. He had been waiting for her specially since she had been taken care of by Zac all the time. It was only by this moment that he got a chance to meet her alone.
