Chapter 77 Divorce


    It waste at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.


    Zac hade home earlier than usual.


    Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.


    The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly


    gust of wind.


    "Zac, you''re home," Essie said in a low voice.


    Zac didn''t respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn''t hear her words at all. The


    curtains fluttered in the wind, making Zac''s tall body look like a dark silhouette.


    Essie slowly approached Zac. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scenting from him that


    she noticed the ss of whisky in his hand.


    ''He''s drinking alcohol?'' Essie thought to herself.


    Thinking of how she saw Le having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Essie guessed


    that they might have quarreled with each other. And they must have had a big fight this time.


    "Have you eaten? Do you want some noodles?" Essie said in a soothing tone.

    Zac turned around to face her.


    In the dead of night, the expression on his face was hard to read, and his eyes looked gloomy and cold


    as they shone in the darkness.


    Essie shivered, suddenly feeling chilly.


    "Zac, women alwaysck a sense of security. I think you''d better get married as soon as possible, so


    that you won''t always fight with each other." Essie tried to give him a reassuring smile as she tried to


    steer the conversation towards what she wanted to say next.


    "What do you mean?" Zac frowned. Her stupid mind was never in the same page as his.


    Essie then took out a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator and handed it to Zac, hoping that it would


    help him calm down. However, instead of drinking it, he threw it onto the table. "Make it clear to me," he


    ordered.


    She let out a small sigh and decided to be straightforward. "I wanted to tell you that this is the best time


    for us to set our rtionship straight and for you to marry the person you really love."


    Hearing her words, a muscle on Zac''s face twitched violently.


    He understood exactly what she meant.


    "How?" he asked, pretending not to understand. He still had a fantasy in his heart.


    Essie pursed her lips. She had no idea why she felt like there was some sort of unspeakable struggle in


    her heart, and why she felt like her heart was contradicting her, but since she didn''t want to think about


    it anymore, she simply chose to ignore what she was feeling. "Let''s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau


    sometime to go through the formality." Her low voice was like a thunderbolt in the living room,


    shattering Zac''s every nerve and his fantasy.


    "What about your parents?" Zac gritted his teeth, and the muscles around his lips tightened, but his


    voice remained as calm as the ocean right before a tsunami--quiet, but about to lose control at any


    moment and bring about storms.


    "I will just exin to them that we are not of the same character." She said it in such a casual and


    natural way. It was as if she had already nned and thought it through.


    The moonlight created a shadow in Zac''s face and made him look obscure. Only his eyes seemed to


    be burning with anger. "Is it because Hanson didn''t get married, and you feel a little hopeful again?" He


    clenched his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His breathing was heavy and short. In the


    afternoon, as soon as Le got out of the restaurant, she called him and told him what she saw. She


    wanted to get rid of the hidden enemy in the cradle.


    "Sooner orter, we will get divorced. It''s better for us to end our rtionship as soon as possible. Then


    we can freely pursue our own happiness." Essie lowered her voice. His expression was too


    no excitement, joy, orfort on his face. She finally recognized the look on his face. It was pain!


    Pain?


    How could that be possible?


    Why would he be in pain? He should be happy. Without her, he could be with Le without any


    restrictions.


    It was too dark outside, and she could not believe her eyes!


    While Essie was still confused, Zac rushed to the bar counter, poured himself arge ss of whisky,


    and drank it all in one gulp.


    The strong alcohol in the drink burned his throat.


    "Do you really love him so much?" After his throat was burned by the alcohol, Zac''s voice became


    extremely hoarse.


    "Yes, I have been in love with him for five years. He is my dream, a huge part of my life! You also


    have..."


    "Bang!" With a loud crisp sound, the ss in Zac''s hand shattered to pieces, and the shards of ss


    scattered all over the ce. Essie''s voice was caught in her throat by the sudden explosion of sound.


    Blood dripped down from Zac''s palm, and onto the floor, just like bright red roses blooming one after


    the other. His handsome face twisted in pain, and his eyebrows knitted together fiercely. There were


    several lines between his eyebrows. His eyes were as ferocious as those of an injured cheetah as he


    stared at Essie fiercely. It was as if he wanted to take her apartyer byyer until he could take out the


    soul inside her and see it clearly.


    All of a sudden, Essie''s face turned as pale as snow. It was the first time in her life that she had ever


    seen such a horrible expression. Fear and confusion bubbled up in her heart at the same time. She


    opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn''t make a sound.


    Suddenly, he rushed towards her like a strong wind, grabbed her arm and lifted her up from the floor.


    Then he threw her on the sofa with much force.
