Chapter 66 Wife Or Mistress

"That rich and nutty cup of coffee is called civet coffee. It's one of the best in the world, and is also very
rare to find." Leila rolled her eyes while her lips curled with a sardonic sneer. Just now when she
proceeded to order herself a cup of civet coffee, she caught a glimpse of Essie sticking her tongue out,
seemingly amazed at how much her cup of coffee had cost. Of course there was no way she could
afford that.

Essie turned to Mandy with a mischievous expression on her face and placed her index finger under
her chin. She said with a voice full of malice, "Mandy, aren't those the coffee beans that are fed and
digested by civet cats?"

"Yes." Mandy nodded.

"They're picked from cat feces, aren't they?" she asked while pouting her lips deviously.

"Idiot," murmured Leila on the sideline. Even if she wanted to call her out for her ignorance, she knew
such a vulgar woman such as Essie would never understand.

Essie didn't want to bicker about petty things with her anymore. She had to focus on her goal, which
was to deal with Zac. Therefore, she faced towards Zac and asked him, "Would you like to have a
taste?" Her narrowed eyes concealed the deep rooted vengeance hidden inside.

Understanding her intentions, Zac's lips curled into a charming, subtle smile. He seemed being saying,
"Dare I try?"

She raised one of her eyebrows and carried the cup forward just touching his lips lightly. Essie hadn't
said a word but visibly implied that he had no choice but to drink it.

By law, there he didn't have any other choice, as he had to listen to his wife.



His subtle smile widened into a grin. He took the glass from her hand and slowly sipped the coffee.
"Not bad," he said.

"Really?" she asked as she tried to mask her enthusiasm. However she couldn't resist and cracked a
smile with two dimples appearing on her cheeks.

Leila was completely bewildered at what she had just seen. Her eyes widened from disbelief while her
face was stuck in an incredulous expression.

'Isn't he a germaphobe? Why wouldn't he mind drinking from her cup of coffee?

They were just roommates!' she thought, completely distressed.

It seemed like Zac could see right through her and read her mind. "Leila, unlike other people, Essie
is..." He suddenly paused with his sly eyes that glanced towards Essie's direction.

Upon hearing that, Essie's heart instantly skipped a beat and she almost choked. She was afraid that
he would say something that he shouldn't.

Her nervousness was clearly noticed by Zac as he peeped at her from the corner of his eye. He began
to talk even more slowly and said, "Well, Essie... She is my..."

"Roommate!" Essie interrupted him immediately while faking a laugh.

Zac watched her with a cunning smile and wanted to burst out into laughter because she was so easy
to fool. "I was just about to say that," he teasingly said in a low voice.

Essie figured out that he was messing with her and glared at him with eyes squinting meanly. Her face
turned almost as red as a tomato and she clenched her fists. She should have known that Zac would
never reveal their marriage in public, most especially since they were right in front of his former lover.



"I'm going to the dressing room," she said with a grumpy pout on her face. She left the group feeling
defeated.

Leila watched over Essie as she walked away. She had a malicious expression in her eyes that
seemed to infer a need for vengeance. A stupid and sweet girl like Essie was not normally the type of
girl that Zac was fond of, however, she couldn't help but feel uneasy about what she had just seen. It
seemed that Essie was the only woman that Zac was willing to break his rules for, and this made her
somewhat suspicious.

While Essie was finishing up in the dressing room, a woman suddenly walked inside. The last thing she
expected was to run into her rival, just right before she was on her way out.

However, this time Sunny was even more unenthusiastic about seeing her.

First of all, the gamble was nearing its due date and had to be fulfilled soon. Secondly, she was still
distressed from the punishment from the last time.

"Did your boyfriend bring you here?" she asked in a sarcastic tone.

"In fact, he did. The due date is coming this Friday, and we are doing great. Have you prepared for the
square dance?" Essie sneered.

However, Sunny wasn't afraid anymore as she had already booked a flight to Europe leaving in two
days. She didn't want to make a fool of herself and face that embarrassment for the rest of her life.

"Have you been visiting Hanson often lately?" Sunny asked in a questionable tone. Apparently, she had
been paying the nurse who was taking care of Hanson. According to the reports being given to her by
the nurse, there had been a woman who had been sending bone soup to Hanson every day of this
week. It was apparent to her that this bitch wouldn't give him up.



"Is there a rule that I am not allowed to visit?" Essie asked in response with a smirk on her face.

"I hope you don't think that our wedding would be cancelled. I'm warning you to stay away for him, or
there will be repercussions," Sunny said, grinding her teeth with an expression that was in absolute
disdain. Her eyes narrowed, hoping that it was sharp enough to stab this bitch to death.

Her expression was cold, but her face was blank as a piece of paper. When Essie heard what Sunny
said, she couldn't resist herself and said, "If he really loves you, nothing can take him away from you."

Sunny snorted and said, "That's true. Besides, you are now under some other man's protection. If he
finds out you've been taking care of Hanson and wanted to cheat on him, he'll punish you himself. By
that time, the repercussion would have happened to you before I even get to act upon it."

"The only thing I would need to worry about is you flying off to another country and shamelessly
chickening out from what's at stake!" Essie answered back with a cold formality. If that was the case, it
would not be the first time that Sunny lost her nerve from a battle.

Sunny's face instantly turned blue when she realized that Essie could see right through her. She shifted
the topic instantly and said, "My point being, if you harass Hanson another time, you will not have a
good time here in Yang City." She proceeded to flee in disgrace.

Essie mockingly rolled her eyes while she watched her walk away. She turned her back to return to the
rest area, when a dark figure appeared from the corner of the room.
