Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 116 Call Me Honey (Part Two)

Elizabeth was so angry that she nearly burst into a frenzy. She didn't expect Zac to be so ruthless

towards her. "You are engaged to Valery and she is pregnant with your child. Don't you think it's your

responsibility to take care of her?"

"I'll take care of the baby. As for her..." A hint of sarcasm flitted over Zac's face. "Since you have so

much free time, why don't you take some time to teach her a lesson? If she wants to be a daughter-in-

law of our family, she should be kind, tolerant, and generous. Such a wicked and domineering woman

like her wouldn't even be wanted by beggars on the side of the road, so how can you expect her to get

into our family?"

Elizabeth's face was now as red as a ripe apple with a tinge of purple and brown. She took a deep

breath and swallowed hard, trying very hard to calm herself down. Elizabeth knew that if she provoked

him further, she would get nothing from him. If she really wanted to drive Essie away, she had to turn to

Mary.

With that, she dejectedly left with Valery.

"Honey, you are so bossy!" Essie said as she gave Zac a thumbs up.

Zac's black eyes suddenly sparkled with joy, making it look like a starry night sky. "Say that again!" He

drew a charming smile at the corners of his mouth.

Essie thought it was a good time to act silly. She put her index finger on the corner of her mouth and

asked cutely, "Say what?"

"The word you just said." He knew that she was playing dumb. He raised his hand and flicked her on

the forehead.

"Oh, I can't remember." She stuck her tongue out at him mischievously, turned around, and tried to This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

escape, but Zac wasn't going to let her go just like that. He picked her up from behind and strode into

the room, looking like he was going to extort information from her through torture. Essie's face turned

pale with fear, and she hurriedly raised her hand in surrender. 'A wise man knows when to bow his

head. As I'm living in his house, I have to do it when necessary,' thought she. Essie put her mouth

close to his ear and whispered, "Honey!"

However, her husband was insatiable. "That's not enough. You have to say it ten times in a row."

A fierce look flashed in Essie's eyes, but she reluctantly submitted anyway. "Honey, honey..." she said

casually. However, in her heart, she was actually saying, "Son of a bitch, asshole..."

When they returned to the room, Essie sat down on the sofa. Then, she took a litchi from the fruit plate,

peeled it, put it in her mouth, and spat out the core. "Your house is like a wonderland. I feel like I would

get lost if I went out by myself."

Zac stroked her head in a pampering manner and asked, "Where did Ivy take you today?"

"The garden, orchard, green lake and..." She paused and said softly, "The ghost house."

Zac frowned. "Stay away from that place."

"Is there a ghost inside it? For real?" Essie's big black eyes blinked twice, full of curiosity.

"Ghosts only exist in people's hearts," Zac said with a faint smile.

"Have you ever been to that place?" Essie lay down on the sofa and put her head on his lap. The firm

muscles of his thighs made her feel very comfortable. Zac touched her hair and played with it casually.

"It's a forbidden area. No one can enter is except for Uncle Li."

"Aren't you curious about what's inside?" She pouted.

"Curiosity kills the cat." Zac pinched her chin. He didn't really care about people or things that had

nothing to do with him.

"Ivy said that she once heard someone crying in there. It was so weird." Essie crossed her arms over

her chest, as if she was thinking about something.

"It could have just been the wind. There's a large bamboo forest outside the yard. Whenever wind

passes through the bamboo forest, it sounds like a whimper." Zac grinned. Then he peeled a litchi and

put it in her mouth. His wife's intense curiosity made him wonder if she had been influenced by Jim, the

gossip king.

While eating the litchi, she caught a glimpse of a photo of Zac's family on the nightstand. The moment

she saw it, she said, "Zac, you have a twin brother. Why isn't he here?"

"He is in the US for business. He will be back in a few days," Zac said understatedly.

Essie got up from the sofa and walked up to the photo. "Which one is your brother?"

Zac pointed at the man standing beside him. Startled, Essie said, "You guys look completely different.

Aren't twins supposed to look alike?"

"Who says twins have to look exactly the same? I think there are a lot of twins that don't look alike."

Zac scratched her nose.

'That makes sense. If one looked like their mom and the other looked like their dad, then they would

not look alike,' she thought.

Essie turned around and looked at Zac. He had good genes. His father was a handsome man, and his

mother was breathtakingly beautiful, and he evidently inherited all of their best features. No wonder he

was so handsome.

Even though his brother was a little inferior to him in looks, he was absolutely still a handsome man.

Upon closer inspection, Essie realized that the man looked familiar. She must have seen him

somewhere before.

But she quickly dismissed it as an illusion. He was the son of a rich family. It was impossible for her to

know him.

Thinking of this, Essie smiled and gave a thumbs up to Zac. "You are so lucky to have so many

handsome and beautiful people in your family."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A servant had come to tell them that the stuff Zac had

bought had been placed in the room facing the garden upstairs as he had ordered.

"Let's go have a look." Zac took her hand and walked out of the room.

Essie never thought that he would actually arrange a studio for her here, complete with a sewing

machine, a tailoring table, and an embroidery machine. Everything she needed was here.

Was he planning on having her live here for a long time?

Was she supposed to wait for the birth of the baby?

"How long exactly will we be staying here?" Essie didn't feel happy. Instead, she felt quite worried.

There was too much pressure here, and she liked the freedom she had in Yang City.

Zac shook his head and smiled. "This is just a spare studio for you. If we end up having to come back

here often in the future, you wouldn't have to delay your orders since you have this studio."

In the future? Hearing that, Essie's heart trembled again. Once Valery's child was born, they would split

up. They didn't have a future at all!

"Thank you, Zac," she said in a low voice. In spite of her doubts, she still felt warm in her heart.

Meanwhile, in another room in the villa,

Valery was crying in her mother's arms.

Elizabeth comforted Valery and put her hand on her daughter's head. "You were too reckless when you

beat that bitch last time, and now you have left a bad impression on Zac. You have to take the time to

turn the situation around."

"What should I do?" Valery sniffed.

"You have to look weak and act as the victim to gain the sympathy of your mother-in-law and everyone

else. That way, you can make the little bitch look like an evil person. This is what you'll do at dinner..."

Elizabeth half covered her mouth and whispered in her daughter's ear.

Hearing her mother's idea, a sly smile tugged at the corners of Valery's mouth.
