Chapter 47 Leaving You In The Dangerous Situation

Zac's room's door was still closed. He showed no signs of coming out.

Even though Essie was sure he would have locked it from inside, she twisted the handle. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked! She then peeped inside, trying to see what Zac was doing.

It was already evening and the sky was dim, making the room extremely dark.

Zac was standing in front of the window, motionless, like a lifeless thing. The night wind blew inside through the window, swaying the curtains. However, Zac stood firm on the ground, unperturbed by the wild wind. Nothing could arouse his reaction because his heart was in a much worse condition.

Although his face was hidden from her view, she could imagine the gloom that would be etched on his face. Her presence didn't bring any reaction from him either.

She cut an orange into pieces and sneaked inside.

"Zac, I'm back. Would you like to have some oranges?"

But he turned a deaf ear to her.

"This orange is so sweet and fresh! Yum!" She did her best to squeeze some reaction out of him, but in vain.

Zac still didn't respond. Instead, he stood as cold as the ice.

"Give it a try, Zac. I know you are quite fond of oranges. I went to the fruit shop to buy it just for you. And let me tell you, it was very expensive." Essie acted coquettishly and hoped that would placate him. She peeled an orange and tried to put it in his mouth. When he didn't open his mouth, she tried to forced it in, completely ignoring his dark eyes. "I have checked it carefully. These oranges don't contain either dye or chemicals."

Knowing she wouldn't stop bugging him, he had no choice but to catc

umstance sleep in separate rooms. As for her sleeping posture problem, with time you will get used to it." As a mother, she thought it was her sole responsibility to make sure things were going well with her daughter and son-in-law. Expensive hotel was just an excuse. In truth, her ulterior motive was to make sure this marriage remained intact.

Hearing her mother's words, Essie's eyes became wide. Embarrassment coursed through her body.

'How can she talk so openly in front of Zac?' she wondered. Essie was quite disturbed and didn't know what to say or do.

Zac, on the other hand, opened his arms and put them around her. "Honey, don't worry. I'll let you kick me as hard as possible tonight. Truth be told, I find it hard to fall asleep without your kicks." There was a cunning smile playing on his face. On closer inspection, Essie noticed his eyes were shining and there was something animalistic about him. Like a lion, he seemed ready to pounce on her.

She wiped the beat of sweat that had begun to form on her forehead. She knew she wasn't going to sleep well tonight!
