Both Abel and Alena were very happy.
With a foxy smile on her face, Mary replied gloomily, "Aren't you guys have been on birth control all the
time?"
"Grandpa and grandma hope to have a great grandson as soon as possible. Then Essie and I did not
make and control for it," Zac said, with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
'Gosh, she was designed by this big liar, ' thought Essie.
Wearing a very sullen face, Valery glared at the flat belly of Essie and wished that she could stab into it.
Then Essie raised her hand to protect her belly. For the past few days, because of Mandy's lies, the
baby had already been frightened. She couldn't let it be disturbed by such a vicious gaze.
Mary took a sip of tea and said slowly, "aunt Bonney chose a date in February next year. At that time,
Essie was pregnant with a huge belly. It was not good for her to hold the wedding ceremony if she was
pregnant. Would she hold the wedding after the baby was born?"
"That's a question." Nodding, Alena said, "The wedding will be held this year, but it's not good to hold
the wedding this year. We can only hold it after the baby is born."
Zac put his arm around Essie's shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's hold a wedding ceremony
and spend our honeymoon together with our baby."
"Okay." Essie nodded with a smile.
The servant brought the newly picked orange to the table. It was Zac who peeled one for Essie. Seeing
that she ate it with a good appetite, he scraped her nose with great affection. "You used to be afraid of
sour. You didn't eat sour at all. But now you are particular craving about sour food."
Hearing that, Alena smiled so happily that she narrowed her eyes and said, "It is good that you like
sour food. You would like sour food if it is a boy. If you like spicy food then will be likely that it is a girl.
Now you are craving for sour food, it means that you are pregnant with a boy."
"It's better if Essie can have a girl." Mary cut in, "There is a boy in Valery's belly. If she will give birth to
a girl. A boy and a girl make a good sign for the family."
Alena's face slightly darkened. "Can they be the same?" Her words were harsh. The Rong family only
treated the sons of the legal wife as the successor. Essie gave birth to a son of the precious first great
grandson of the Rong family. If her second child was not a boy, then her first son would be the fifth
generation of power holder for the Rong family. But the child that came out from Valery's belly did not
count. He was a nobody. One was the honorable successor of the Rong family, while the other was a
bastard who did not even had the right to have a slightest status in the clan. What a big difference!
Hearing this, Valery was very angry. The tears of Essie were her sweeties and her smiles were her
poison. She couldn't let her be so complacent anymore.
Essie went back to her room to take a nap. When she walked out of her room and reached the
stairway, she met Valery.
"Essie, a friend of mine told me something interesting. Do you want to hear it?" Standing in front of her,
Valery wore a wicked smile on her face.
"I'm not interested," Essie said coldly and turned around and was about to go downstairs. At this
moment, Valery's voice came from behind, "It is closely related to your baby. Don't you want to hear it?"
Hearing her question, Essie stopped, turned around and said, "Well, if you have something to tell me,
just say it directly. Don't keep me guessing."
"My friend told me that she saw you were carried into a room by a fat man in the hotel and stayed there
the whole night. Did you get pregnant on that night?"
Essie clenched her fists in anger. She had suspected she was the one who planned the whole thing,
but when she admitted it this way.
"Valery, I warn you. If you dare to hurt my child again, I will kill both you and your child!"
Valery covered her belly with hands subconsciously.
Essie glanced at her coldly, turned around and went downstairs. With a vicious expression on her face,
Valery stretched out her hand and pushed her violently from behind. She staggered and rushed
forward. Luckily, she grasped the handrail in time when she leaned against it. Otherwise, she wouldn't
fall to the ground.
But at that moment, Valery was very unlucky. She used too much strength and was so heavy that she
even couldn't grab the escalator when she stood in the center of the house. Thus, she lost her balance
and fell down the stairs.
The blood ran out from her dress. She held her stomach and cried painfully. Then she passed out.
Essie called people in a panic and then she called 911.
The ambulance arrived soon and sent Valery to the hospital.
"Oh my God! She was bleeding heavily. Will she die?" Sage's face turned pale out of fear. She worried
that Elizabeth would get even with her.
Zac was in a serious expression. He didn't care about what happened to Valery. He only wanted to
make sure that her child was fine.
"How did she fall down the stairs?" Mary asked with a frown.
"At that time, only she was there. You can ask her." Sage pointed at Essie. After being slapped in the
face twice last time, she dared not to lie again.
Essie rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know. I was walking ahead and somehow she fell down. But
there are surveillance cameras in the lobby. You will know the reason when you look into it." She didn't
say that it was Valery who pushed her. She wanted them to see the truth.
Mary's face darkened when she heard Essie's words. Of course she would check. Didn't ever think that
she was pregnant now, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted. She had ways to punish her.
