Chapter 237 You Did Not Stand A Chance In Front Of Me


    After they parted in the Mint Coffee House that day, he was dejected and almost desperate. He could


    only depend on alcohol anesthesia to sustain his life. Unable to bear it any longer, Florey told him that


    Essie had gone to see Jobson, and that she had traded for him, Be. It was not until then that he


    learned her feelings for him. She was waiting for him, waiting for him to take her away. He couldn''t let

    her down, and even by any means, he would get her back.


    Zac noticed the subtle change of the person beside him. He looked at Hanson walking towards them


    and put his arm around her waist, as if announcing to him that she was his. He didn''t want to see


    Hanson, nor did he want her to see him. It took him so much effort to upy a little ce in her heart.


    He couldn''t let Hanson grab it again.


    "Long time no see, Essie." Hanson looked at her deeply. There were thousands of words and endless


    love in his eyes. But he could not show it. He had to endure it until he couldpete with Zac.


    "Long time no see, Hanson," Essie said in a low voice. Only she knew that today was actually


    Hanson''s birthday, but she had to pretend that she didn''t remember. She couldn''t even tell him ''Happy


    Birthday'' because she wanted him to forget herpletely.


    Zac looked at Christina, "Are you dating Mr. Xia now?" His tone was casual, as if he was just asking a


    casual question. When his eyes met Hanson''s, there was a dark fire stone flower in the air.


    A mixed feeling rushed into her mind, and she couldn''t tell whether she should be happy for him or sad


    for herself when she saw him being with another woman. But she knew that she still couldn''t totally


    forget him. Maybe it was because she had been in love with him for so long and she didn''t want to


    forget him at all, because she couldn''t let herself fall in love with the person by her side. At least, she


    wouldn''t do something like a moth darted into the fire before the birth of Valery''s child.


    Christina smiled shyly. She wanted to be Hanson''s girlfriend, but he wanted to start with his girlfriend


    first. "Hanson and I are just friends." She exined haltingly, but her hand spontaneously took


    Hanson''s arm, as if afraid of others to rob him. Hanson didn''t keep away from her either. He was


    thinking of using Christina.


    Zac nodded slightly. "We''re going bowling over there. Excuse me." He didn''t want to let Essie have too


    much contact with Hanson, so he left with her. They yed for a while before Hanson, Christina and


    her sister came too.


    "Let''s have one round, Zac." Hanson came over and challenged him.


    Zac shrugged and epted the challenge.


    Essie didn''t say anything but cast a meaningful nce at them. She went to the sofa and sat down,


    watching the game. Christina and her sister followed Essie. Le asked her sister to go to the bar


    counter to bring her cocktails because she wanted to send her away.


    "Are you sad to see that my younger sister is together with Hanson?" She asked.


    "Miss Qin, it''s my own business." Essie replied.


    "What about you and Zac? Do you want to pretend to be the real person and won''t leave this position?"


    Le said in a sharp voice.


    "If you can sit on it, I can leave at any time." Essie said in a casual way. If she was the woman who


    took the throne now, Zac wouldn''t have tortured her as a substitute.


    Le''s face turned pale slightly. Her words hit the nail on her head. Even if she was willing to break


    away from Qin Family, the Rong Family would not ept her. Zac was the young master of the Rong


    family, and it was impossible for him to betray his family for her.


    "Every year, Zac would celebrate my birthday. Do you know why he gave me the watch this year?" She


    forced a smile stiffly. She couldn''t be defeated by her rival.


    "Why?" Essie asked, because she also wanted to know.


    "He wants to tell me that even as time goes by, he won''t forget our rtionship and fall in love with


    another woman. We were childhood sweethearts. Even if you were by his side, you would not be able


    to rece me. The person he loved would always be me, only me. " After a pause, she continued, "He


    wouldn''t have gotten married if it weren''t for Valery. He had told me before that he wouldn''t date any


    woman except me. So he wouldn''t have gotten married."


    Essie''s heart skipped a beat again. Icy guy went to the Bureau of civil affairs with her because he was


    drunk. But she couldn''t let Le know.


    "He will be in charge of the future of the Rong Family, and his wife will be the future hostess of the


    Rong family. This position is impossible to be left in vacancy. Even if he doesn''t want to, the Rong


    Family will force him to get married and have children with them. How can he waste his life without a


    result with you?"


    She hit the nail on the head of Le and the corners of her mouth twitched. She looked like a punctured


    ball was fired and it worked out.


    Seeing that she was speechless, she continued, "Even without me, somebody else will rece you. If


    you really want to be together with him, you''d better try to dissolve the grudge between your two


    families. If one day the Rong Family can ept you, I will definitely quit and won''t stand on your way."


    She was her substitute, and if she came back, she would be of no use to him.


    "That''s a deal. Don''t regret it." Le said. She would work hard for their future.


    In the bowlingne, Zac and Hanson were tied.


    "I won''t lose to you." Hanson said it in a subtle and intriguing way. Zac knew it was not bowling but


    Essie, "Even if you won''t lose, you won''t win." He replied coldly.


    "That''s because you don''t dare topete fairly with me. You will only y dirty tricks behind my


    back." Hanson said, gritting her teeth.


    "The result has been set four months ago. Do we still need to fight?" Zac sneered.


    Hanson was feeling a spasm in his body. He understood what he meant. He had lost the game the


    moment he decided to marry Sunny and push her to his side. So he lost the game since that moment.


    It was the biggest mistake he had made in his life. It was toote to correct it, because he, a strong


    obstacle, stood between them.


    "As long as she still loves me, I won''t lose. You''ve been with her for only four months, while I''ve been


    with her for five years. You can''t rece me."


    His words cut a sharp pain to Zac''s heart. His heart twitched. But he managed to keep calm. "I will still


    have many five years to live with her. I''m not worried about this at all."


    Hanson sneered at his words. In fact, he was indeed a talented man with different characteristics that


    bewitched women. Over time, no matter how determined the woman was, she would be conquered by


    him, but...


    "You have a lover. I heard you''re about to have a bastard. Essie won''t ept a bastard like you." He


    said it word by word, which was the most powerful counterattack for him, and also the support of his


    confidence. As the saying goes, "know your enemy and yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles


    with no danger of defeat". From Christina and Ivy, he had already known more about Zac, especially


    his romantic history. He didn''t expect that he would be in such a great romantic mess. Sand was not


    allowed in the eyes of a lover. What he had left to Essie was not only sand, but also stone. Moreover,


    Essie would never fall in love with such a man who was mottled with dirt.


    "You know a lot about me. Do you contact with Christina and Ivy just to study me?" Zac said with a


    mocking smile.


    Hanson snorted, "Yes, Zac, I''m not as strong as you for now. But that doesn''t mean that I''ll be no match


    for you in the future." He grabbed the ball in his hand, threw it, and the ball rolled at a sharp arc and


    knocked all the bottles down.


    "That''s great! Hanson." Christina''s voice came from the side, and their conversation stopped abruptly,


    and thispetition ended with a draw.


    Sharon stood up and handed the juice on the table to zayn. But Amanda didn''t move. It was okay if he


    wanted to tter her. After all, she was the man who helped her, so she shouldn''t go to cheer him up.


    "Thank you." Taking the juice bottle from Le, Zac headed toward Essie. He didn''t notice the


    disappointment on Le''s face.


    Essie stood up and said, "Let''s go to the bar counter to have something to drink." After saying that, she


    held his arm. She was not in a good mood. Whether it was because of him or Hanson, she couldn''t tell.


    After sitting at the bar counter, she ordered a cup of long ind ice tea. Zac frowned slightly. Because


    only people who was disappointed with love would drink that. This was what she always ordered on


    that fool''s day. Now that Hanson had a new girl to serve, was she feeling ufortable?


    "This wine is not for you." He said gloomily, and exchanged a ss of zero degree cocktail named


    rainbow for her.


    "It is just a cup of wine. Not a person. What is in it not fitting for me?" She sneered.


    "Long ind ice tea is the most famous wine for being lovelorn. Are you lovelorn?" His voice was like


    the rainstorm around the waves. She understood what he meant. His desire of control and


    possessiveness came to naught again. She couldn''t let him hurt Hanson again because of her


    unintentional move.


    "Is it appropriate to ask your wife about that?" She asked.


    "Well, I''m sorry that I made a slip of the tongue. I''m such a good guy. My wife must be good too." He


    curled his lips into a faint smile, which sent a shiver down Essie''s spine. He was indirectly warning her.


    If she dared to make him disappointed, he would punish her without hesitation.


    She didn''t respond immediately. She took a sip of the rainbow that the bartender had adjusted for her


    and then slowly opened her mouth, "I hope both of us can be as good as before." There were plenty of


    women here. It was much more difficult for him to keep a distance from them and keep himself clean.


    It was time to cut the cake. The waiter served the five tiered birthday cake and everyone went to sing


    the birthday song together.


    After she made a wish, Le blew out the candles and asked Zac to cut cakes with her. They cut cakes


    together every year, and she was expecting no exception this year.


    Zac turned his head to look at the little woman beside him. Although she looked calm without any


    dissatisfaction, her eyes were deepening, as if they were dyed by the night outside the window.


    And her rival in love was staring at him sinisterly, as if ready to swoop in at any time.
