Way Back Into Love (Essie)

"Warm my bed." Essie almost choked at his words. She coughed so hard that her face turned beet red. With tears in her eyes, she glared at the culprit next to her.

'There was no way in hell,' she thought to herself.

Without even patting her back, Zac continued to eat his meal. It was as if it never happened or he couldn't care less with her reaction.

Her eyes flashed with fury. Not only was he a rascal, but it seemed that he was also a cold-blooded animal. The woman who's fated to marry him must be incredibly unlucky in her past life. She gritted her teeth. Once her time was up, she would divorce him not a second later.

They finished their lunch in uncomfortable silence.

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, she took out her notebook she used to keep account of all of her income and expenses. Essie was used to writing down every penny that she spent.

"These are the expenses we've incurred in the past few days." She placed the notebook in front of him. "I'll pay your accommodation fee, but the rest of the expenditures will be split into two. I'll pay for it now, but you have to pay it back when we're divorced."

However, before she could add anything more, the man took out his credit card and placed it on top of her notebook. "Swipe it yourself. There's no password, and it doesn't need any signature," he said coldly, as if he couldn't care any less what the amount was.
