A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 148 You Can Only Be Mine

Although Essie had already stayed in the villa for several days now, she had never been to other bedrooms except the one she was in. To quench her curiosity, she decided to go around and explore a little bit. One by one, she opened all the doors she saw and cautiously peered inside.

The moment she finished doing that, she felt her blood boiling inside of her. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.

'All the beds here are exactly the same!' she thought, fuming. 'They only have different sizes!'

Zac had her fooled!

She walked into their room in a huff. Zac had just taken a bath then and was lying on the bed, playing a game on his iPad.

With arms akimbo, Essie glared at him. "I want to change my bed!" she hollered. "I want the biggest one! The one in the next room! If you don't change it, I will sleep in the next room starting tonight! I am not joking!"

Zac's deep-set eyes widened in surprised.

'How did she find out my little secret that fast!' he thought.

He took a deep breath as he put his iPad down. "Honey," he said, smiling innocently. "I think we're okay with this bed. This is nice, isn't it?"

"Nice?" Essie said incredulously. "Zac, it's summer! It is too hot for us to sleep in one small bed!" Her lips were now pouted and her eyebrows tightly knitted together. He changing the bed without her knowledge was not something she would tolerate!

"Well, we can always turn the air conditioner up, right? I think that should be enough to combat the heat," Zac responded with a shrug.

"But don't you find it weird?" Essie quipped, as if she didn't hear what Zac just said. "Why are all the beds the same? Aren't you afraid of entering a different room and not realize it because everything's practically the same? Is this one of your quirks?" She stared at him in a way that made him feel like he was an alien.

Zac didn't respond and just rolled his eyes. He then reached out his arm and pulled Essie into his arms. "Essie," he said sweetly. "The problem is I don't have anyone who would decorate the rooms. If you want, I'll give you authority to change things. Just design every room to your heart's desire."

After a few moments, Essie pushed Zac away slightly and looked him in the eyes. "Well then, if you're giving me that authority, I want this bed changed immediately."

Zac chuckled. Slowly, he put his handsome face close to Essie's. Their faces were so close that Essie felt Zac's warm, fresh breath. "Change it if you want, I don't care," he whispered somewhat seductively. "Because as soon as you fall asleep, I know that you will roll to my side of the bed. So whether our bed is big or small—it really doesn't matter."

Essie felt her face turn red from embarrassment.

"Wow! You really think that?" she said, her tone scandalized. "Well, for your information, that is not true! I actually want a bigger bed because I want to stay away from you!" Of course, she would never admit to what Zac said. 'I don't even know what happens after I fall asleep!' she thought.

Zac sighed and once again rolled his eyes. "Why do you care about beds so much? We've already spent a night as a couple!"

This statement made Essie's heart tremble.

She had forgotten about it somehow, but she just remembered that she was not a virgin anymore. Every woman's first time was their most special one, and anything after that meant less or nothing at all. But it was especially hard for her because deep in her heart, sex and love were two inseparable things. She would never sleep with a man who didn't love her, unless she was drunk or unconscious.

Every day, Zac would change the ways he would interact with her in order to take advantage of her more. Despite that, he still looked extremely dissatisfied. 'It seems like he hasn't gone to Leila's for some time now,' Essie thought. Was he worried that she would give up in the middle of their mission and use this fact to lure her in?

He didn't need to do all that.
