A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 62 Someone Is Peeping In The Opposite

"Did I wake you up?" Zac's voice was slightly deep and hoarse, most likely because he had just been caught in the rain.

"You should change into some dry clothes," Essie said with eyes that showed a kind of gentle concern. She couldn't tell whether he was upset. He didn't seem to be worried about getting sick from the rain either.

When Zac saw the look on her face, he quickly realized what was going on. He took his time, however, and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into his pajamas.

She wasn't in the mood to talk to him when he got home. However, she quickly empathized the moment she saw his tired and miserable face. She picked up some pills from her drawer and handed them to him.

"Take them as soon as you can so you don't get sick. I don't want to end up catching a cold from you."

He took the pills with an endearing smile. "You're not upset anymore?"

"Why should I be upset?" she scoffed as she rolled her eyes.

"I shouldn't have left in the middle of our date last night, but when Leila called, I thought she was badly hurt..." Before he could even finish his sentence, Essie quickly interrupted. "It's not a big deal, it wasn't even a real date anyway," she said in a casual tone, deliberately trying to make it seem like she didn't care at all.

As Essie said this, Zac felt a wave of sadness seep into his bones.

He had prepared some lines to say to her when he was on his way home, expecting that Essie would be furious. However, he was stunned from Essie's selfless response towards the situation.
