Chapter 85 Ring Brand

There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candle light swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky.

"Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind.

Today was her birthday? Shocked, Essie looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th.

'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!

"Ice guy, how did you know that today is my birthday?" She turned around and looked at him. His cold face was tinted with the same color as the candle light, making it look very warm. The smile on his face was as charming as sunshine. It made ripples in her heart.

"It is written on our marriage certificate," he said. Then he held her by the shoulder and took her to the table. "Make a wish!"

She nodded, put her hands together, and closed her eyes.

What was her wish?

Over the past five years, she had made the same wish on every one of her birthdays: she wished for Hanson to like her and hoped that they could be together forever.

Now, she was finally awake.

She was going to have a fresh start at the age of 22.

This time, she wished that Zac wouldn't disappear from her world, and that even after they were apart, he wouldn't consider her as just a passer-by. She hoped that there could be a small place in his heart that belonged to her, and that...

She stopped.

Why were all her wishes related to him?

Damn it! What was she thinking?

'I must have been too moved by him,' she thought.

This was a sugar coated bullet. He just wanted to lure

n.

'These are probably crystals,' she thought to herself.

"Let me help you wear it." He took her hand and put the ring on her slim ring finger. The ring was of medium size and fitted her perfectly. It seemed as if it was customized according to her size.

No, this wasn't right. She was not actually married.

"Um... you put it on the wrong finger. The ring should be on the middle finger," Essie reminded him in a very low voice.

"Why?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I will only wear a ring on my ring finger once I get married." She pouted.

"Haven't you gotten married yet?" he asked before taking a seat on the sofa. He helped the back of his head with his hands, and smiled at her mischievously.

Essie felt petrified again.

Was the ring another conspiracy?

She glared at him and tried to take off the ring. Unfortunately, it was stuck in her finger.

No.

She wanted to cry.

Zac smiled coldly. "It won't be easy to remove my ring. As long as our marriage certificate is still in effect, you have to wear it all the time. Do you understand?"
