Chapter 423 Only You Tonight

Before the construction of the South Sea project was started, Essie and Zac went to C Island to inspect the construction of the base on the island.

They didn't take the same plane, but they arranged their schedule respectively. Zac arrived in the morning, while Essie arrived at noon, as if to avoid suspicion.

Unlike last time when she came to Sea City, Essie was not as innocent and naive as she was before. This time, she had made full preparation, because she had no one to rely on. She could only rely on herself.

The whole afternoon, except for two formulaic reports about business, Zac didn't talk to her. In his eyes, she was a mere stranger.

She tried to forced herself to adapt to his indifference and ignorance, but her heart did not listen to her orders. It kept twisting, twitching, and even wanted to go on strike, so that she fell to the ground and died directly.

She was like an addict to drug. She was suffering from rehab and insomnia. She remembered that last time when she broke up with Hanson, she was not so sad. She fought with the demon every day and almost didn't think about Hanson at all.

Why was she so sad this time? Even if she had Hanson by her side, it would not relieve her pain.

After dinner, Essie wandered on the beach alone, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was very quiet in the night, with only the howling of sea waves and the roar of sea wind by her ears.

She climbed onto a reef and looked down at the surging waves beneath her feet. A wave came up and hit the rocks splashing. Her dress edge was wet, but she didn't step back. Instead, she moved closer.

A pair of big hands stretched out from darkness and grabbed her arms. "If you keep moving forward, you will fall down."

There was a hint of warning in his low voice, but she was very familiar with his voice. Her eyes were suddenly wet, and the dark night helped to hide the emotions on her face.

"Why are you here?" She asked in a low voice.

"It's just a shit place. We haven't set up the internet yet. What else can we do besides walking on the beach?" He said lightly. The base was still under construction, and the satellite network had not been laid down yet. They came here to supervise the construction process.

"In fact, you don't have to come here in person. You can send a vice general manager or a director," She muttered, as if talking to herself.

Zac's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't known that his stupid woman had to come in person.

"Why do you come here in person? Is there no man in the Xu's Group?" He asked in reply with a sneer. This place was not suitable for women before it was finished.

"This island is the southernmost of our country. I want to come and have a look." She hemmed and hawed. In fact, she just wanted to leave Dragon City for a walk in a sparsely populated place. But she didn't expect that the enemy who h

e. If she didn't make it clear, he would never let her go.

"Don't you love Hanson? Aren't you going to marry him? Why are you still crying? You should smile. " He dragged her arm and said in an aggressive tone as if a judge were interrogating a criminal.

She could not explain. She was flustered and felt she was about to collapse. She swung her arms in an attempt to break free. However, the strength she had exerted was far from enough to tickle her.

"I'm tired. I've been on the plane for hours. Now I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to sleep." She could only beg.

"Well, I'll let you go if you say it clearly." His attitude was overbearing and tough, and there was no concession at all.

"What do you want me to say?" She was extremely guilty, as if a thief was caught when he was stealing.

"Are you crying for me? Did you regret it? Are you reluctant to part with me? " A series of questions were just like shots beside her ears which made her heart beat faster and her breath more rapid. She looked away and almost had no courage to look at him.

"I... I didn't. You abandoned me when I was in a coma and married someone else. You didn't give me a single cent of raising me. As a result, I became the laughingstock in the rich women's circle. They all thought I was a total idiot. It's all your fault to make me suffer this great humiliation. Without you, I eat well, sleep well, feel fresh and happy every day. Why should I cry for you? I'm very happy that I'm going to marry Hanson. "

Her dark eyes rolled in the eyes. It was a small trick. Zac saw it. He had known her several tiny expressions since they got along for a long time. As long as she lied to him, her two big black eyes would roll here and there.

There was a slight smile of triumph on his lips. "Essie, do you know what I hate you most?"

"What?" She stared at him fiercely. In his eyes, she seemed to have every weakness from head to foot, and he was not pleased at all.
