At first, Mary was laughing. But when she saw Mili and Dot in the pavilion, she became gloomy
immediately. "Why are you here?"
"My bad grandmother is back." Mili seemed to be frightened. She jumped off the stone bench and hid
herself into the arms of the old lady. Her small body trembled slightly. "Great grandma, I'm afraid she'll
hit me."
The old lady took her in her arms immediately. She was very annoyed with Mary. No doubt that Mary
had made a very bad blow to the kids that day. Otherwise, her baby great granddaughter would not
have frightened like this.
"Don't be afraid. Great grandma is here. She doesn't dare to bully you." She stroked Mili's back and
comforted her in a soft voice.
Seeing this, Mary stopped her anger immediately.
This time, the two elders came back not only to host the worship of the ancestors, but also to help Zac.
They must have planned to get Essie back, that foxy woman.
Now, her mother-in-law took charge of the whole Rong family. She must be displeased with how she
deal with things in her heart. She couldn't confront the old lady face to face. She had to change her
tactics to deal with the tramp without being noticed.
So she forced a smile and said, "Mother, are they your guests?"
"They are not here to visit us. They are going home. Essie is the daughter in law of our Rong family
and her children are also our Rong's children. It's a festival for the kids to come home for the first time
today. Nobody can ruin it," the old lady said seriously.
Hearing this, Mary felt anxious. Did the two elders lose their minds? These two little bastards were the
kids Essie had with another man. How could they allow her to take them back as the children of the
Rong family?
Even if the two elders missed their great grandson so much, they wouldn't regard the bastard as a
treasure? The uncles and aunts would feel strange when they knew it, let alone the servants. They
would even gossip behind the scene. By then, Zac would lose his face.
"They are cute. I have to urge Zac and Leila to hurry up so that you and father can have a grandchild
soon," she said with a smirk.
"That kind of great grandson, I'd rather whish they don't have," the old lady said casually. She and her
husband had decided to appoint Dot as the fifth generation in charge of the Rong family. When he
officially acknowledged his identity, they would announce the decision.
The smile on Mary's face disappeared for a second. 'She doesn't recognize Leila's baby. Does she
want Essie to have another baby with Zac?' thought Mary.
This foxy woman had no right to have a grandson for her. Even if she had one, she would try to get rid
of it. Elizabeth gained her acquiescence last time when she bought someone to force her to an
abortion. Many women were able to give birth to a baby for Zac, so he didn't need to bother her
stomach.
"Mother, actually the kids have their own plans. They don't need us to worry about them."
"It's rare for you to think in this way. You'd better not cause more troubles in the future about Zac and
Essie. Don't beat a couple." The old lady warned with both admonishing and warning tone.
An imperceptible darkness streaked across Mary's face. It was impossible to let her ignore the
relationship between her son and Essie. As long as she was still alive, this little fox, Essie, would never
recover from injury and get back together with her son. What's more, it sounded reasonable that she
was trying to help her son maintain a happy marriage and drive away the mistress for his daughter-in-
law. She did nothing wrong.
"Mother, now that Zac has married, Leila is his legal wife. In fact, if Essie continues to badger Zac, then
she was the mistress to sabotage other people's marriage. I'm a mother-in-law. Do you really want me
to just stand by and watch my son's marriage to break up?" she said in a serious way.
When Mili heard her words, she became angry. Before the old lady said anything, she said, "My
mommy is not the mistress. Leila is the mistress. When my mommy was in a coma in the hospital, she
hooked up with my daddy and married him. She is a mistress. She will be a mistress forever. It's
useless to get a higher position."
"Sister is right. A mistress who destroyed other people's families is like an intruder who enters their own
family. According to grandma's opinion, if your home is occupied by these intruders, you should
surrender and be a traitor instead of fighting back and taking back your own home. It is totally wrong to
resist, isn't it?" Dot said slowly.
"You're right, my lovely babies." the old lady gently stroked the two kids' heads.
The old man glanced at Mary and said, "You see, a three-year-old child can even understand such a
simple thing. Why do you, as a grandmother, make such a mistake?"
Mary's eyes darkened with anger. The two bastards were as cunning and annoying as the little fox.
However, the anger on her face only lasted for a second. She quickly hid it and put on a fake smile.
"When adults are speaking. Children don't interrupt, understand?" She tried her best to speak in a
gentle tone so as not to irritate the two elders.
"Grandma, if you want to say something about others, we won't interfere. But you are talking about our
mommy and we are her children. We have to protect her." Mili lowered her head and pouted, looking
like she was about to cry.
"My baby, you are right to protect your Mommy," the old lady coaxed, patting her back.
Mary's eyes were filled with anger. But it disappeared in an instance. Although she had an impulse to
strangle Mili, she did not dare to show it. Because she was only a three-year-old child. No matter how
she fussed with her, she could not gain an upper hand. She would only appear to be childish.
"Jane." She called the servant next to her and told her to take the children to play nearby so as not to
disturb her and her parents' talk.
Just then, Mili stood up and ran out of the pavilion.
Not far away, Zac and Essie were walking along a stone path.
Holding Mili in his arms, Zac kissed her on the cheek. "Where did you go with great grandpa and great
grandma?"
"Fish pond, orchard, Racecourse..." Mili said in a childish voice. Then she pulled the sleeves of Essie
and said, "Mommy, don't go there. The bad grandma is back. She will beat you."
Hearing that, Essie was shocked. She gave an reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry. Last time,
grandma was impulsive. She won't quarrel with mom anymore."
Mili was not comforted at all. She shook her little head sadly and said, "Mommy, let me tell you.
Grandma didn't think she was wrong at all. She just said today that you were a mistress and that you
destroyed daddy and Leila's marriage."
Zac was a little angry. His mother had turned into a dark angel to sabotage the relationship between
Essie and him. Was she really guilty?
Essie sneered in her heart. In the past years, Mary had never regretted what she had done. She would
not do that now. Some people tended to be self-centered, believing that no matter what she did was
right, the earth should be revolved around her.
But she couldn't say it to her child.
She stroked her daughter's head and said, "Don't worry, baby. Grandma is a sensible person. We can't
control her. We just have to have a clear conscience."
Mili nodded, "I know. But since she doesn't like us, I won't regard her as my grandma." Although she
was only three years old, she had her own values and outlook on life. In her eyes, feelings were
mutual, so she didn't want to waste them on someone who didn't like her.
Zac held her in his arms and walked into the pavilion, Essie followed them. Seeing that they came
together, Mary was very unhappy. She couldn't bear the thought of the two being together alone.
But Essie ignored her facial expression and greeted with a slight smile, "Auntie, you're back."
It was true that Mary had reached the turn of life. As soon as she saw her, her blood was surging, and
she could hardly control her anger. "You and Zac have your own families, and you have to pay attention
to your behavior."
"Mommy, don't worry about me. You should pay more attention to your own health. I see that your
recent menopause symptoms have become more and more serious. Why don't you ask a doctor to
check for you tomorrow?" Zac said slowly.
"I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor," Mary said. She felt that her son was teasing her, and she was
very angry.
"I think what Zac said makes sense. Women will enter upon the change of life, there will be more or
less some problems, and it's better to see the doctor," said the old lady.
Mary was depressed. Even she hadn't reached the change of life, she would not accept Essie as her
daughter-in-law. Her existence had always been a threat to her.
"Zac." She immediately changed the topic, "Grandpa and grandma want to have a great grandson as
soon as possible. You should hurry up. I heard from Leila that you will go to Provence to have a
honeymoon when the project in South Sea is officially started. And I wish good news came out from
you and Leila when you come back."
She said these words on purpose in an attempt to provoke Essie. And she succeeded. Essie was
struck by a strong hurricane in her heart, which stirred up huge waves in her heart.
It turned out that he not only wanted to give her a wedding ceremony, but also took her to a
honeymoon. How considerate and thoughtful he was! How sweet!
The tip of her tongue seemed like she eating a lemon. The extreme sour from the throat to the internal
organs, making her feel the sour in her breath.
She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. She tried to keep calm and didn't show any
inappropriate emotions.
Dot looked at her mother. No one knew his mother better than him. He knew that every time his mother
tried her best to behave calm, it was the most restless time in her heart.
"Mommy, you and daddy Hanson don't need to hold an engagement ceremony. You two can get
married directly. Then you can go on a honeymoon next month too," suggested Dot.
He winked at Mili, and the latter immediately got his point. "Mommy, where do you and daddy Hanson
want to spend your honeymoon? Do you like Paris or Venice?"
They echoed each other to stimulate Zac. He wanted to go on a honeymoon with Leila, and then he
would take a younger brother back, and his and their mommy would have a complete end.
