Chapter 71 Breaking Up A Couple


    At the sight of the neer, the smile on Hanson''s face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched


    slightly. "Mom! What are you doing here?"


    "My son is injured. Can''t Ie to see him?" Florey rolled her eyes at him.


    "Auntie, please sit down." Essie stepped forward and brought her a chair. She knew Hanson''s mother


    very well. She had met her when she was still in school, and they had met several times when she was


    still in Be. Every time, Essie was under the impression that Hanson''s mother disliked her.


    At that moment, Florey sent an indifferent nce her way. Then, she walked to the sofa by the bed and


    sat down. "Hanson, where is your nurse? Why isn''t she here looking after you?"


    "I asked her to leave. Chris will find a new one in the afternoon to rece her," Hanson said with his


    teeth gritted.


    Florey evidently thought that the nurse was doing a poor job of taking care of Hanson, but she didn''t


    say anything. Her eyes drifted toward the thermos on the bedside table. Seeing her nce, Hanson


    quickly said, "Mom, do you want to have some soup made by Essie? It''s really good."


    "No, thanks," Florey replied coldly, shaking her head. Suddenly, she grabbed her son''s hand and said,


    "Hanson, you have a fiancée now. You''re going to get married soon, so you should focus on your


    wedding. Don''t meet other women who have nothing to do with you, and make them give up the idea of


    ying kinship. They don''t belong to your world, after all. Your wife can only be from a wealthy family,


    like Sunny." Florey''s words grew harsher the more she spoke. She was not only talking to her son; she


    was obviously saying those words for Essie''s benefit.


    Essie stood up, all color drained from her face. "I have something else to do. I''ll go ahead," she said in


    a hurry. She exited the room as fast as she could, not even waiting for Hanson''s response.


    A furious glint shed in Hanson''s eyes. He grabbed an orange from the table and threw it against the


    wall. With a crack, the fruit shattered, and orange juice sshed everywhere.


    Florey shuddered, disconcerted. Hanson had been nothing but obedient for thest 24 years. She had


    never seen her son so angry at her until today.


    "You''re mad at your mother because of inconsequential person like that woman?" she asked with


    patent disbelief.


    Hanson angrily replied, "''That woman,'' mother, is not inconsequential. She is the one I love the most!"


    Hanson had fallen in love with Essie since they first met on campus. She was sweet, innocent,


    naughty, kind, tenacious, and stubborn. She flitted around the campus like a little fairy who suddenly


    appeared in the library or ssroom to surprise him. If not for his mother intervening between them, he


    would have eloped with Essie to Italy and by now would be living a happy life with her.


    "Someone like her, who came from a poor and ordinary family, can''t help you at all. Do you still want to


    be the sessor of Be?" Florey was fast losing patience at Hanson''s naiveté. When she first met


    Essie, she knew that the girl would be a scourge. Therefore, she tried both hard and soft tactics to


    persuade her son to break off all connections with her. Finally, she extracted a promise from her son to


    never date the woman and then immediately sent him abroad as soon as he had graduated. However,


    she had no idea that as soon as Hanson returned, the woman followed him to Yang City and started


    pestering her son once again. Even now that he was getting married, Essie still hadn''t given up on


    ensnaring her son.


    "The past 24 years, I have been living only for you. I have always obeyed your orders. I have returned


    to fight for Be and marry Sunny. I only have this small request. Can I not I live for myself just once?"


    His eyes were ame with pain. He uttered every entreating word with an air of futility.


    Florey burst into tears, crying so bitterly that Hanson was powerless against the onught. She


    She knew that this is the most effective approach to make her son do whatever she wanted.


    However, her crocodile tears did not work this time. Hanson had gotten used to it. Without another


    word, he pulled up the quilt over his head.


    At Legendary...


    Essie did not know for how long she had been lying on the sofa.


    Twilight had settled as seen through the open window, and the chill crept into every corner of the


    house.


    In her white dress, shenguished listlessly without thought or expression on the sofa, looking like a


    soft wisp of smoke.


    She did not even notice Zace in.


    Ever since Le returned, he went out early and came backte almost every day. Perhaps their


    romance was more passionate now that they had rekindled their rtionship when he fell in love with

    her again?


    At the sight of Essie''s pale, bloodless face, Zac felt his heart tighten and rushed over to her side.


    "What''s wrong? Are you sick?"


    She raised her head and looked up at him with hollow, dull eyes. "I''m fine. It''s still early. Why are you


    back so soon?" she murmured as if talking to herself.


    "You don''t want me toe back?" He smiled bitterly, inwardly disappointed. In the past few days, he


    had been busy with the A Ind opening n, so he did not have much time to y with her. He had


    been a little worried that she would be bored at home alone.


    "I''m fine by myself." She sank deeper into the sofa, as if trying to hide herself. However, he stretched


    out a hand and grabbed hers to pull her up. "Get up. Let''s go have dinner."


    Her eyes flew up to meet his in surprise. "Haven''t you eaten yet?" ''He came home hungry. Did they


    have a quarrel again?'' thought she to herself.
