A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 51 The Big Bad Wolf Got Her

"First of all, you are my wife. Even if I bought the house, you legally own half of it. The law will protect you from anyone who wants to take away that right, including me. Second, if you had shared your apartment with me, I would be worried about my sleeping place all the time, so where will I get the time and energy to invest in the stock market? Finally, you're my lucky charm in choosing which stocks to invest in. Without you, I probably would be suffering losses in the stock exchange. Now, do you still think you'd be freeloading by living here rent-free? All of those reasons make perfectly justify your stay here,"

Zac spoke in a slow, unhurried manner, and his voice wove a bewitching melody in Essie's ears. It put her in a hypnotic trance; the more he spoke, the more she was convinced of the logic of such an arrangement.

After all, she did make a significant contribution to Zac's success. Without her, he still would have been living as a penniless hobo. He would not have been able to afford his living expenses, let alone a house of his own.

As Lucy and Bob had yet to return, Essie sliced some oranges and sat with Zac on the balcony to eat and watch the sunset.

"Now that you've bought a house, do you intend to live in Yang City instead of going back to Dragon City?" she asked casually.

A slight smile turned up the corners of Zac's mouth. "Marriage to me means that you will follow me anywhere. In the future, I'll take you back to Dragon City together with me."

"I won't go. I don't like Dragon City." She curled her lips in an expression of disgust.

Zac asked, eyebrows raised. "Based on your ID card
