Way Back Into Love (Essie)
Chapter 484 A Mask Of Mother In Law

"You remember me clearly. It seems that you are very interested in my business." Zac's handsome face approached. His warm breath gently spread over her face, as if indirectly flirting her. Her face was flushed. "I... I have a good memory.

"1

"No, I didn't see it." His beautiful thick eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of mockery in his tone. As far as he could remember, she seldom remembered his matters clearly. Otherwise, she would not have always disobeyed his order, which made him very angry.

Essie pouted. In his eyes, what she had done was silly. Of course, he wouldn't notice it.

"I just don't want to interrupt your honeymoon trip," she muttered. The bitter taste spread from the tip of her tongue to her internal organs. The thought that he and Leila were going to spend their honeymoon made her feel terrible.

"You won't affect us after I get everything done." A weird smile flitted across the corner of his mouth, which made Essie feel frightened. He looked mysterious, as if he had hidden some secret. No one could figure out what was on his mind.

It was time for lunch.

At the dinner table, Mary changed her usual cold face and wore an amiable, happy smile.

"I know that Essie likes spicy crabs, so I ordered the chef to cook them for her." She smiled.

"Thank you, auntie." Feeling flattered, Essie wondered what trick Mary was playing. It was not long after she had warned her fiercely in the morning, but she changed her attitude so soon. How weird that she could be so kind.

"I have thought it over carefully. Since our Rong family is a great one, we should get along with each other harmoniously. Since Essie has not been engaged to others, she is the granddaughter in law of the Rong family. If she gets on well with Leila in the future, taking care of Zac with her is also a good thing. As his mother, I can do nothing to stop him as long as he wants. I will be happy if he is happy," Mary said in a gentle voice, like a bead slowly swaying down the slope.

"It's good that you think so." The old lady nodded.

"Essie, here, have some crabs." Mary asked Essie to eat her favorite food. She served her with a piece of big crab meat.

"Thank you, auntie." Looking at her sweet smile, Essie somehow felt scared.

"Since you are still the granddaughter in law of the Rong family, you can just call me Mommy as before, if you call me auntie will treat me as an outsider." Mary smiled. "Okay, Mommy." Essie acted docilely and obediently.

"I knew Mommy would come around. You are the most sensible," Zac said as he picked up a dove to his mother.

"You are my son. I do everything for your own good," Mary said with a smile.

"Essie and I will take good care of you," Zac said obsequiously. It could be said that his mother's hindrance was removed, which had solved a major obstacle in his heart.

But no one noticed the malicious and insidious behind her smile.

After coming out of the study, she forced herself to calm down and carefully analyzed the situation.

If she continued to deal with Essie with a tough knife, she would be isolated in the Rong Mansion. Not only did her two sons dislike her, but the two elders of the Rong family and Albert would be very dissatisfied with her. If she ended up in a situation where everyone was heartbroken, and it was Essie who would win at last.

And her secret had been discovered by her son, and her image in her son's heart had been badly damaged. If she continued to be tough, it was likely that their maternal and child's relationship would be broken. The most important thing was that if she pushed Essie too hard and made the news out of thin air, it would be impossible for Albert to leave her alone.

She pondered on Essie's character. She was a person who was open to persuasion but not to coercion. The more she coerce her, the more uncompromising she was. Therefore, she couldn't be attacked by a sharp knife, and only a soft knife could easily pierce into her dead spot.

Seemingly kind to her, she cooperated with Leila to deal with her. In this way, she not only kept her secret, but also maintained a good image in front of her families and son. It would be unfilial for Essie to make a fuss with her again.

While she was thinking, the voice of the old lady came, "Where is Walt? Why didn't he come over for lunch?"

"He bumped on his face by accident just now, and it still hurts. He said he can't come down to eat. I've asked the servant to bring him the food," Mary said.

"How can he still act like a child at such an age." Alena shook her head and stopped asking.

After lunch, Zac took the kids and his grandpa to play chess in the garden, and Essie was admiring the flowers alone.

Walking in front of the tulip palace, they met Walt who was coming her way.

"Brother," Essie said hello to him in a low voice. She was a little uneasy when she thought of what Zac had told her. So she turned around, intending to sidestep him.

It seemed that Walt had read her mind. He quickly caught up with her and said, "Are you hiding from me on purpose?"

When he saw through her mind, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "No... Nothing. I'm going to the peach forest ahead.

"

"I thought you misunderstood me because Zac had said something inappropriate to you." Walt deliberately stressed on the word 'misunderstanding'.

How could she not get him? She was slightly stunned. Misunderstanding? What did he mean?

"Brother, you just see me as your sister, don't you?" she asked him in a very low voice.

"Of course, in my heart, you are always a little sister." Walt smiled. "I know Zac would tell you that I like you. In fact, I said that on purpose to stimulate him. He is a man of casual virtue. I don't want him to hurt you. Since he's married, if he doesn't want you to leave, he should divorce Leila and marry you again. But now, he wants to keep you by his side and refuse to let go of Leila. Is not he playing with you? I really can't stand it, so I deliberately said that I like you and wanted to compete with him to chase you. He has realized his crisis awareness after he was irritated. It's not going to work with two women at the same time. He has to choose between you or Leila. "

He had expected that Zac would tell Essie so, so he had prepared his words in advance. When a relationship is about to develop, it was better to let the nature take its course. Exposing the mind too early would scare the other party. So, what he needed to do now was to cover it up in front of Essie.

On the other hand, Essie didn't doubt his words and heaved a sigh of relief.

She was so stupid! How could she be the little sun of Walt? How could Walt love her?

"Brother, thank you for helping me. But you'd better explain it clearly to Zac in case you hurt your relationship with each other."

"You don't have to worry that. There isn't deep hatred between two brothers. Let him misunderstand and increase his sense of crisis first. After he straightens out your relationship, it will be not too late to explain. As long as you don't misunderstand me," Walt said in a careless tone, as if he didn't care about it at all.

Essie sighed in her heart. These two brothers were both unpredictable. She really didn't understand.

When they were talking, Zac walked over from not far away. He pulled her into his arms without saying a word. "It's time to go." His tone was arrogant.

There was a flicker of anger in Walt's eyes, but he ignored it. His eyes were fixed on Essie. "I'm leaving now."

Essie nodded and pulled Zac's hand off her. She knew that this guy was a powerful possessive desire in the universe, in which he had declared his sovereignty over Walt.

It seemed that Zac was annoyed. He flicked her forehead and said, "You said you have a good memory. Did you forget the warning I gave you this morning?"

Feeling aggrieved, Essie touched her red forehead. Although Walt didn't want to explain, she couldn't tell the truth, or she would be regarded as a Helen of Troy!

"Brother just told me that he didn't really like me. He just wanted to piss you off. You're just an insatiable jerk. You've married a wife, but now you want a mistress. He's just jealous and wanted to defend me. That's why he said that to irritate you."

"You believe him?" Zac said as he raised his beautiful eyebrows.

"Yeah, it's so easy to doubt. It's impossible for brother to like me." Essie nodded hard.

There was a touch of sadness in Zac's eyes. He was worried about the IQ of this woman. Only a fool would believe what he said. He would never believe it. The reason why Walt said that was that he didn't want this muddled-headed girl to hide from him.

"You just believe whatever others say? Didn't you have any normal sense?"

Essie glared at him and said, "Do you think that if others have told you clearly that they don't like me, I should pretend to be pitiful and blindly believe that they are telling lies? Do I have to think wishfully that they like me?"

Zac's dark eyes rolled. What she said sounded reasonable. For emotional idiots like this little fool, there was no such a word as 'wishful thinking' in the world.

"No matter what, stay away from him." He stressed the rules, overbearing and rude.

She was born with a rebellious personality. Even if she had no strength to resist, she didn't want to obey the orders of the big ogre and tried every way to mess up with him.

"In fact, I really appreciate brother's sense of justice. A man like you who cheated on your wife should be dealt with."

"By which eye did you see I have an affair?" Zac frowned and his face was filled with anger.

"My eyes didn't see her, but my heart did," Essie accused him word by word. The conclusion could be made without seeing it with her own eyes. He and Leila kept in touch with each other, and even in the survival of their marriage, they never broke up.

Blazing anger flashed in Zac's eyes. With knitted eyebrows, he said, "You silly head. You can't think seriously. Yet, you are good at overthinking things."

"How could you divorce me and marry Leila if you didn't have an affair?" She sneered. The evidence was here, and no matter how he argued, she wouldn't believe a word.
