Chapter 37 Angry

The atmosphere in the living room felt like a funeral. It was so silent that she could hear a pin drop.

Bob and Lucy, especially Lucy, were on the verge of exploding in anger.

Looking like a child who had done something wrong, Essie lowered her head until the tip of her chin touched her chest. She didn't dare look them in the eye. How the hell was she going to explain this? If they said that they had gotten drunk and signed off on the marriage certificate and that they were planning to get a divorce in two months, they would freak the hell out.

Zac stared at Essie's parents. Although they stared at him as if he was a criminal who had kidnapped their daughter, he decided to answer frankly, "Uncle, aunt, it's really wrong to hide this from you. Essie and I–"

Essie interrupted.

Her mother would have fainted on the spot if she knew that they only met a month ago.

Essie froze. She had once believed that they were going to get divorced in three weeks. But with her parents on the line...

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

Zac pulled her into his arms. "How about we don't divorce until the Spring Festival is over?" he suggested.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why do we have to wait until then?"
