Chapter 48 Fifty-fifty

After taking a bath, she clad herself in clothes that covered her whole body. There was no way she would wear something revealing. Exposing skin would only compel the big bad wolf to attack her.

Then, she took out the thumping pillow from the closet and put it in the middle of the bed, making a demarcation line. "Let's share the bed fifty-fifty and restrain from crossing the line, okay?"

Holding the back of his head with his hands, Zac leaned against the head of the bed in a lazy and evil manner. "Honey, mom and dad just told me that we should hurry up and give them a grandchild."

Essie rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you taking their words so seriously? We are not a real couple. We already made a mistake so it is time to rectify them, rather than make more!"

He lifted the corners of his mouth gracefully, and his eyes began to shine. "Let's make more mistakes together. It is fun to make mistakes with you. I want to be responsible for you.'"

"But guess what? I want to sort things out and live a normal life. And thank you for your offer, but I don't want you to take any kind of responsibility," replied Essie.

"Okay, how about I have some fun and leave without taking any responsibility?" Zac smiled devilishly with an intention to scare her.

She was speechless. Every time they had a battle of words, she had trouble gaining the upper hand. Zac was well adept at making people speechless. He had a vicious tongue!

She glared at him, turned her back to him, and pretended to be asleep!

With a wolf beside, she had expected an uneasy and sleepless night. But surprisingly, she felt comfortable and inexplicably reassured. In a matter of seconds, she was in a deep slumber.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

Essie sighed internally. When her mother was determined to do something, she wouldn't stop until she had achieved it. And buying a grand house for her daughter was at present her biggest desire. She could do nothing to stop her!

Once she thought about it, she realized buying a house was an investment given the heavily weakened currency. Based on her current income, she could afford to buy a sixty-square-meter house with two rooms. But there was another big problem she had to consider before she made any rash decision. And that was her fake husband.

After registration, she patiently studied the marriage law. The house she buys after marriage would fall under marital property. In short, it would belong to both of them. After divorce, she would have to split half of the property with her husband.
