Chapter 60 Don't Come To Me

Essie knew Hanson and his family quite well. Even though to an outsider his family seemed picture perfect, the reality was very different. On the surface, there was harmony but deep down they went through an undercurrent. He may be the only son of the chairman, yet that didn't bring him any respect since he was still a bastard. Mrs. Xia and her three daughters were like tigers. And from what she knew, they would never let him take charge of the Bella Group.

If he married Sunny, his life would change for the better. Sunny's family was powerful enough to support him and elevate his status. This alliance promised him success.

Essie's thoughts were in a jumble. And Hanson seemed to understand what was going on in her mind. Flashing her a smile, he said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to stop the wedding. What will happen? Nothing! I might have to fall again." His words were light, but caused a great disturbance in her heart.

'Did he fall down on purpose in order to delay the wedding?' she thought.

"Hanson..." Her heart was trembling, and millions of emotions surged forward.

She couldn't believe he cared so deeply for her. The man she had loved all her life was beginning to reciprocate her feelings!

She felt a little flattered but this was too good to be true. Just like sitting in the flying chariot, someone had taken her to cloud nine. The weight of this news was burdening her.

He seemed to have read her mind. He brought her face close to his and caressed it gently. "You are very important to me, so I can't afford to lose you. Promise me you won't give up on me. I need more time, okay?"

She lowered her head, and for some reason, a person she shouldn't have thought of, emerged in her mind. It was like a ghost, wandering everywhere. No matter how hard she tried to bring her focus back to Hanson, her thoughts drifted back to Zac. It wandered in her mind and then chased her, until she was fully consumed by it.

'Why am I thinking about him?' she admon

off the phone.

She had no interest in knowing what he had to say. He was probably way too busy with his ex-girlfriend. 'Why did he even bother to text me?' She couldn't find an answer to this question. It seemed like he was adding salt to her wounds.

However, the reality was completely different from her imagination.

At this moment, Zac was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Although he couldn't see her face, he imagined her vividly, her mouth twisted into a pout.

He continued to dial, but her phone was powered off.

"What the hell!" he screamed to the empty space.

Suddenly all sorts of thoughts popped into his head. He worried if she was extremely drunk and in a helpless state.

Quickly, he rushed to the bar which was located nearby. Like a maniac, he went around inquiring about her.

Turned out no one had seen her.

He tried to call her but in vain. It was still powered off.

'What the hell! It doesn't matter if she is angry. Why can't she at least tell me where she is!' his frustrated mind screamed.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. All types of crazy thoughts entered his mind. 'What if some wicked men are troubling her?'

No way! He must find her!

He called William and said, "There is an emergency! We need to find Essie. Send men to search for her."
