"Thank you," she said it lightly. She wouldn't give the same blessing, because the marriage between
him and Leila was a scar in her heart that would never be healed, so she couldn't bless them. She was
not the Holy Virgin Mary.
Zac picked up the juice on the table and took a sip, dissipating the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.
He looked to the small train not far away. Rabi and Mili were sitting in one carriage, while Dot was
sitting alone in another.
"Your son has a strong character." He smiled faintly.
"Like his father," Essie answered almost subconsciously. Dot look like him, no matter in appearance or
personality.
"I don't think so." Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly. He didn't think that Dot looked like Hanson at
all.
Essie knew Dot did not look like Hanson who was a warm and kind gentleman. He was so bright and
handsome that made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze. But he wasn't as strong as a bomb.
He wasn't cool and aloof and was not bossy in personality. Only a great demon king like Zac would own
those characters.
But she couldn't tell Zac about the secret of the children. She knew that once the secret of the children
was exposed, she would be involved in endless fighting for the children and might lose them. She
would never allow such a terrible thing to happen.
"You don't know his father. How could you tell?" she said on purpose. As far as the situation was now,
their dad would continue to misunderstand them before they grew up as adults.
It felt like a sting was stabbing on his heart. He felt a faint pain. "If I hadn't let that lawyer lie to you and
made you think that we were divorced, would you still be with Hanson..." He stopped. It was self-
evident what would happen next.
"I'm a traditional woman. The thing I hate most in my life is cheating on you," Essie continued,
trembling her hands. she said clearly and forcefully, word by word. Although she did not directly answer
his question, in fact, she had given him the answer.
When she was in America, she called Hanson husband just for the sake of the children and she did not
want them to gossip. In private, she told him very clearly that she could only treat him as her friend.
They had never done anything crossing the line.
That comforted him. "Would you have left me if we hadn't lost that baby?"
"Yes, I will." Without hesitation, she left for two reasons. First, she wanted her children to be born
safely. Second, she knew the truth what Mary had done her mother, and this cruel truth was
undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back, making her completely lose hope in this
marriage.
A hint of shock and pain flew into his eyes. "Why?" he asked. He asked in disbelief. He always thought
she left for the sake of losing her child. Was there any other reason?
"Do you still remember that I visited my parents before the miscarriage?" So far, Essie didn't have to
hide the truth from him.
Zac was surprised and nodded.
"My mom told me what happened between her and your mom." She pursed her lips and continued, "At
that time, I couldn't understand why your mommy hated me so much and why she had to drive me out
of the Rong family by finding another woman for you. I thought we were born to be at odds with each
other in the five elements. But as soon as my mom finished her words, I began to understand why she
hated me. I had a face that was like my mom's. once she saw me, she would remind her of her horrible
past. She would think of her sin. So she wanted to drive me away at all costs."
With a painful cramp, she tossed all over his body. Zac never thought that the last time she left him was
also because of the grudge between their mothers.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Does it make any sense if I tell you? She is your biological mother. How could you sever the
relationship with her?" Essie sneered again. Although he was so bossy and was not very obedient,
deep in his heart, he was Mary's son and he respected and treated her very well.
"What if it's really a misunderstanding?" Zac was a little annoyed. He had asked his mother several
times and she gave the same answer. It didn't seem like she was lying.
"Then why does she hate me so much? Why did she do everything she can to drive me away from
you? You don't hate someone for no reason, unless she has a guilty conscience and is afraid of
someone revealing her secret. " Essie could not hide her anger that she could not help but raise her
voice.
Zac didn't know what to say. Yes, if his mother had a clear conscience, why didn't she accept his little
fool?
"Essie, may I ask you a question?"
"What?" She rubbed her hands. His questions were always unsolved, and she could hardly find the
answer.
"If I divorce with Leila and make the old generation satisfied, will you marry Hanson?" He looked at her
seriously.
"But these 'ifs' don't exist," She muttered. Maybe he could divorce with Leila, but he couldn't dissolve
the hatred between their mothers.
"Answer me first!" He abruptly grabbed her shoulder to prevent her from escaping.
She lowered her head and lowered her thick eyelashes to cover her hesitant eyes, "I have promised
Hanson that I will marry him. I can't go back on my words." Her voice was very low and light, as if she
was talking to herself.
But Zac heard it clearly. He tightened his fingers. "Is he that important?"
'No.' Essie replied in her heat. So far, he was still the most important person in her heart, even though
he didn't care about her, abandon her, even though he had never loved her. He only treated her as a
sex toy to release his sexual desire. However, she still could not stop loving him. She would still feel
heartbroken for him, feel sad for him, and constantly torture herself and punish herself for him.
However, she owed Hanson too much. She could not hurt him anymore. Since she had promised him,
she should keep her promise.
"We have to keep our words. Now the whole Dragon City and the whole Yang City know that we are
getting married. I can't break my promise. I can't hurt Hanson," she bit her lips and said in a low voice.
"So, you married him just for your promise, not for your feelings?" Zac was keenly aware of her implied
meaning. There was a gleam in his gloomy and cold eyes. But Essie didn't want to admit it. She didn't
want him to know that he was the one she really loved. He didn't love her. He didn't care about her.
Why did she give him a chance to laugh at her?
"Of course I love him. He was my first love, and I've always liked him. My greatest wish is to be his
wife," she stammered.
Zac's eyes darkened. Darkness came again. It swallowed up all the light, leaving only darkness like a
deep well. His hand fell down feebly. No matter how hard he held her hand, it seemed unable to hold
her. "I will make you regret." He wouldn't give up until he saw the regret on her face.
"Will this day come?" Essie sneered. After a while, the women around him were supposed to round a
circle on the equator if they held hands and lined up together. She love cleanliness, so she wouldn't like
dirty men.
Blazing anger flashed in his eyes. "I won't let you wait too long." By then, even this stupid woman
would cry and run over to beg him to change his mind. He would not easily give up, unless... He gave a
malicious and mischievous smile, interrupting his thoughts. Anyway, he had a way to punish the stupid
woman.
When the kids came back from the small train, Essie brought some fruits to them and then took them to
lunch.
Mili liked the Italian restaurant that Zac took her last time, so they drove there together.
Sitting at the table, Mili clapped her hands and said happily, "Mommy, daddy, I'm so happy. Today we
have a family reunion dinner. We're finally reunited."
When Zac heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Immediately, he felt like in a hot spring, and even his
pores were warm. Family, he liked the word 'family' so much. He was their family, not an outsider.
But it reminded her of something bitter in her heart, which aroused her sadness and sorrow.
When she left the Xu family, she was seven years old. Yet, in her case, after her children were born,
the family was broken. Now they are sitting in front of their own father, but they can't tell him the truth.
Never in the future. Although Hanson could fill the missing father love of them, she knew that in their
young hearts, they still hoped to get the care and love of Zac because the blood relationship could not
be cut off. It was constantly connected.
As for Zac, she couldn't imagine what he would do after knowing the truth. Would he be so furious that
he would break her neck? Or would he throw her into the sea to feed sharks? All in all, the
consequence must be violent enough to be ranked within the restriction.
Dot was the calmest one. He put his little hand under the table and pinched Mili's leg to remind her to
be careful.
"It's not a reunion anyway. Daddy Hanson is not here. I wish he could be here too," he spoke slowly,
making up a mistake in Mili's words.
In spite of that, his words were cold, like the icy current from Siberia, which froze all the warmth and
excitement of Zac.
Mili realized that she had said something wrong. She made a face and stuck out her tongue. "Yeah, I
forgot daddy Hanson. If he comes, we will have a real family reunion dinner."
A mild shadow passed across Zac's face. He would never dine with Hanson, especially in this kind of
occasion.
Mili seemed to know what was on his mind. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Daddy, don't
worry. You still have a chance after mommy and daddy Hanson get married. We'll move to the western
regions in Xishuangbanna and join the Mosuo group. Then you can marry Mommy as well. "
Essie and Zac were choked at the same time. They covered their mouths and coughed several times to
ease the air.
"Daddy, Mommy, are you so happy that I have come up with a good idea for you, right?" Mili tilted her
head to look at them.
