There was a moment of silence in the air.
When Essie heard him say anything for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "are we divorced or
not?"
It was not in a hurry to answer her question. Zac picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table, slowly
took a sip of the tea, and then opened his thin lips. "Do you want to divorce or not?"
Essie choked, lowered her eyes and covered her struggling and ambivalent eyes with her thick
eyelashes. The two groups in her heart were fighting fiercely, and she couldn't believe the one who
scared her finally won. She didn't want to divorce and wanted to be with this man all her lives.
No, no, no. she shook her head in panic. This was not her real thought. Absolutely not.
"I... Of course I want a divorce. Then I can get rid of you. " She tried her best to ignore the strong
resistance of the winner.
With his face gloomy for a moment, a malicious and insidious smile played at the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know why, but I really like to see your disappointment look recently."
He meant... Were they really not divorced?
"The lawyer who sent the letter for me said that our marriage was already done. Why..." She was
astonished and confused. Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Zac, "lawyer is
also doing business with money. Give him more money and ask him to send an e-mail at the same
time. Don't you think it's a common thing?"
His careless tone was like a hurricane, causing a thousand waves in Essie's heart. "Do you let him lie
to me?"
"Do you think you can leave safely before I get even with you?" Zac said it word for word with a cold
voice. He threatened her.
She trembled and a chill spread from her spine to every part of her body. This man was too terrifying.
She was no match for him at all. But what was more horrifying was that with the white flag flapping in
her heart, the surrendered faction gained the upper hand and lost all the fighting power.
"Do you mean if I have a baby with you, our business will be settled?" She bit her lips and asked in a
low voice.
"This is between Essie and I, not to Cathy and I." He answered slowly.
"Then I will give you two children." Hearing that, Essie's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. Since Mili
and Dot wanted to see him, she'd better let them see him before they return to America.
Zac was surprised at what she said. "Do you really want to leave me?"
"The marriage between us is totally a mistake," Essie's weak voice sounded like a cold wind. The
grudge between the members of the last generation was doomed to be an insurmountable gap
between them. She didn't want Lucy to be sad, nor did she want to forgive Mary for her "sin".
Therefore, their separation was the only and best result for them.
Sadness flashed in Zac's eyes. He took a sip of tea to repress the anger in his heart. For a long time,
he asked in a low voice, "is it because of my mommy and Elizabeth that your mother has a prejudice
against me?"
"Isn't it the same as your mommy? She can't accept me. Since both of our mothers don't want us to be
together, why should we do anything to make them sad? "
Zac had already understood what she meant. Sure enough, her mother-in-law had completely changed
her attitude. She no longer supported him, but completely stood on the side of Hanson. It was an
extremely awkward situation.
"It was the business of the last generation. We have nothing to do with it. Why should we be influenced
by them?"
Essie shook her head and said, "love is one thing between two people, but marriage is one thing
involved two families. Our marriage needs the blessings from the elders. There is another important
reason why my mother and president Xu finally broke up. Besides Elizabeth, the other reason is that
Mrs. Vicki who can't accept my mother as her daughter-in-law. She made things difficult for my mother
and never gave her a good look. Because of this, she didn't like me and my sister and never hugged
us. My mom often cried in her room alone. I saw everything and knew she was sad about this. "
Essie paused and tears welled up from her eyes. "When I was in Rong Mansion, I recalled the same
tragedy as her. I watched your mother's face every day. I tolerated her disgust and her malicious
destruction and frame. These days are very painful. I don't want to continue."
His heart twisted. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away her tears. "I'm not Baron, and I
won't let the same thing happen. We'll live alone from now on. I won't have too much contact with
mommy. You don't need to see her unhappy face."
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I just want a simple life. I don't want to make too much trouble
for myself. You can't give me that."
His handsome face was contorted. He didn't want to hear this. In fact, the biggest problem between
them was that she didn't love him. Maybe she was confused, and she didn't know what feelings she
had for him, so her heart was always fluttering. If two people really loved each other, any problems and
difficulties could be overcome.
"If I can't, then no one can." After saying that, he went out in anger.
Two days later, Essie went to Yang City to visit the kids again. As soon as they entered the house, Lucy
asked about the divorce. She temporized, with the excuse that Zac was on a business trip abroad.
Perhaps because Yang City was too close to Dragon City, the paparazzi's sense also extended.
She and Hanson went to sea with the children and was soon photographed by paparazzi.
Leila was the first one to get the gossip. She was very excited, as if she seized the braid of Essie. She
jumped into the car and drove to the villa of Zac.
"Zac, I have something to show you." She said as she handed him a stack of photos.
Taking it over and glancing it lightly, Zac immediately felt the shock, "what's this?"
"It was shot by paparazzi. Essie and Hanson went to sea with their two kids." After a pause on
purpose, she continued, "and as for these two kids, one is called Mili, and the other is Dot. They were
born in America by Essie and Hanson."
"No way!"
A violent spasm came into Zac's mind all of a sudden. It was not until Zac's handsome face came into
view. He remembered that Essie had told him in person that she had never had any relationship with
Hanson. How could she have two children with him?
"The paparazzi heard that they called Hanson daddy. If it was not his children, why did they call him
daddy?" Leila said in a very positive tone, fearing that he wouldn't believe her.
Zac's heart was rolling like a tsunami that could swallow the whole world, and his viscera were twisting
into a ball. He could not believe that she and Hanson had two children!
He rushed out of the villa like a storm to find out the truth.
"Mili, Dot..."
He remembered that Essie used to murmur the two names to him. He remembered very clearly that
Essie told him that she had kept two cats. Were they really cats?
Essie had just come back to the villa of Alice, and Lucy had come with her because Lucy didn't believe
that Essie could deal with this matter well. She was afraid that she would make trouble for them. As
long as she didn't divorce Zac, she couldn't sleep or eat well.
When Zac came in, Essie sensed something unusual. Lucy was basking in the sun in the garden at the
moment. She took him into the room because she didn't want to disturb her mother.
As soon as the door was closed, Zac cornered her. "Didn't you keep two cats? Now your whole family
is back. What about your cats? "
Hearing his words, Essie was shocked. She didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this matter. He
was confused and a little uneasy. "My mother... Put them in the next house for recuperation. " She
stuttered to explain.
A hint of rage flashed through his dark eyes like lightning. He raised his hand and strangled her. "I'll ask
you again. Who's Mili? Who's Dot?"
The blood had faded away from her face, and a strong terror rose from the bottom of her heart. The
corner of her mouth seemed to be frozen by the coldness emitted by Zac. It was numb and stiff for a
long time before she opened her mouth with difficulty. "They are... My... Cats." She said in a
straightforward and dull way.
Before she finished speaking, a heavy punch fell on her side. He used all his strength, and the whole
wall was shaking. She felt like a fragile pottery, which broke into pieces with the shaking.
Did he know? Did he know something about Mili and Dot? What should she say?
Zac loosened his grip on her neck. For fear of breaking her neck when he was out of control, he pulled
out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of her. "Tell me, who are the two children?"
On the other hand, Essie's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and her lips also lost their color. She
had been very careful, but she didn't expect that she was still photographed by paparazzi. She had
known that Yang City was too dangerous and that the children shouldn't have stayed there at all.
"They are..." Her throat was twisting in panic, and her tongue was shaking so violently that she could
no longer speak. Her expression was like a guilty conscience, which made the nerves of Zac nervous
all over. "Whose children are they? Whose children on earth are they?"
"They... They are... " Essie stuttered. The door was pushed open with a loud bang before she could
finish her words. "They are the kids of Hanson and Essie when they were in the United States." Lucy
said clearly and forcefully.
The surprise on Essie's face widened, and all of a sudden, she exclaimed, "mother..." She didn't expect
that her mother would say something like that. Wasn't she throwing mud on her?
Zac's shoulders shook violently, as if a dagger was stabbed into his back from inside. He was in a cold
sweat with pain. "Is it true?" He stared at Essie, eyes red with tears.
Looking at him in a daze, Essie couldn't speak a syllable as her throat was blocked by a strong fear.
Her thousands of words turned into helpless tears.
Did she acquiesce in it?
