A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 190 A Miscarriage (Part One)

After the show was over, Essie started to browse through the programs available. Just then, she remembered today was the premiere of Jim's new drama, 'Diamond Family.'

"Jim's personality perfectly fits this kind of program." She giggled.

"I like his comedy shows more," Zac said with a mysterious smile. Jim usually played with different kinds of genres and seldom play the same kind of drama show in a year.

"I don't think he's suitable to play in a romantic drama," Essie said in a feigned serious tone as she touched her chin.

"Why not?" Zac said, raising one of his eyebrows at her.

"Could you imagine him doing kissing scenes? Even the bed scenes are not real. So what is the point of watching them?" She narrowed her eyes as she tried to give off a seductive look at Zac.

Zac was speechless. He could imagine Jim getting a nosebleed at Essie's insinuations.

"Honey, you do know he's a germophobe, right?"

"Humph!" There was a look of disbelief on Essie's face. How could Jim possibly be a germaphobe when he had slept with so many women? Wasn't he afraid of getting a disease?

"I'm a germaphobe, too. If you have sex with other women, you're not allowed to come back and touch me. Otherwise, I'll vomit all over your body," she replied.

A weird expression flashed on Zac's face. This silly girl still didn't trust him. It would have been cute and amusing if it weren't proving to be such a serious problem now. He had to find a solution quickly or he would be in danger.

"Honey, you can see from all the TV shows that men with affairs come home late at night. I come home early every night to have dinner with you."

"Not all affairs are conducted at night." Essie pursed her lips. Her gaze fleeted to the grey wolf beside her, her thoughts running at high speed. A lot of affairs happened in daytime as well. After their little interlude on her design table yesterday, she could still feel her waist a little sore today.

Zac sighed. This silly girl was always thinking differently. Even if he ran out of words, she still wouldn't believe him.

"An old saying said, ‘A wise man knows he knows nothing. A fool thinks he knows it all,’" he said slowly.

She narrowed her eyes at him and found his serious face funny.

Right now, all he could do was keep his celibacy. Even though he tortured her every day, she had to know that he wasn't seeking any arrangement anywhere else. But if this went on any longer, he would inevitably go out to have fun. After all, a great man like him wouldn't settle on one woman alone. Even if he didn't get out of his way to do it, more exciting women would find him attractive and seduce him. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Just like Valery and Elizabeth who abandoned all their dignities and went against what was moral. More than that, they were too stubborn to give up. Someone had to try and boot them out of the picture.

Before she could say anything, he continued, "I heard my brother called you little pineapple. You two only met a few days ago and you already had pet names for each other?" His tone was too friendly to be casual.

"That's because we've already met before." The corners of her mouth tipped in a smile. She then shared how she met Walt in Maldives during one summer vacation. "I thought your brother looked

familiar when I saw his photo, but I couldn't recall who he was. Maybe there was something different between the photo and the real person."

Zac folded his arms and looked at her. "When I first saw you, I felt as if I had met you before. Do you think that we had met somewhere before? Maybe we had a short time together before but we just didn't remember?"

"How could that be possible? There wasn't any opportunity for us to meet before. And before the Fool's Day this year, our lives ran like two parallel lines," she answered quickly as she lowered her gaze to avoid his eyes.

"Didn't you live in Dragon City until you were seven years old? Maybe we've met each other in Dragon City when we were kids," he said half-jokingly.

Essie sniffed.

Ever since he shared what he thought of Cathy, Essie was one hundred percent sure they had met before. From his expression of disgust and hatred, she knew that she didn't leave a good impression on him.

She did not remember how she ended up in his life since she had lost some of her memories. It was all Valery's fault.

"You're from a rich and powerful family. I'm just an ordinary person. I didn't go to the same kindergarten as you or even primary school. There couldn't have been any event that we both went to. So I'm not likely to meet you before."

Something flashed in Zac's eyes. "Do you have any relatives in Dragon City?" he asked. He had never heard her mention it.

"No, I didn't," she answered. "My parents are not local residents. They came to work in the Dragon City. I couldn't have had any relatives here."

Zac shrugged at her reply. With a playful smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "I know. Maybe... you were my wife in my previous life. That's why we are familiar with each other when we meet again."

She pouted and said, "Well you weren't familiar at all to me."

"Of course, you feel that way. Your brain is filled with nonsense. You certainly could not remember anything." Zac pinched her chin. He knew she was smart where it counted and pretended to be dumb when needed. But there were still some occasion where she would blank out and get stupid all of a sudden.

Essie made a face at him and said, "Fortune favors fools." Only a fool who lived freely and carelessly could live the happiest and simplest life.

"That's right." Zac sighed. "Being your husband will be a headache." It seemed like for the foreseeable future, his love would be completely ignored or intentionally misunderstood.

Essie knew Zac intended what he said as a joke, but it still stung.

He just said she was going to be a headache to him!
