"I know, Mommy. I'll be careful," Zac said. Since his mother-in-law brought it up, it was pointless to
explain too much. He just agreed.
After a moment of silence, Lucy continued, "I didn't think much of your marriage before because of your
mommy. Now I have thought it over carefully. If Essie divorce you, Essie may live a better life, but the
children may not. Nine out of ten stepmothers were not good people, especially in the rich families. For
their children to get the inheritance right, they must try their best to kill their ex-wife's children. So, for
the sake of the children, I can only let Essie make do with you."
Zac was speechless. Mother-in-law's imagination was so wild that she even thought of a stepmother for
her grandchildren. He would never have a second woman in his life except for his little fool.
However, it was a good thing that her mother-in-law had such an idea, so that she wouldn't always
want to bring his rival in love, Hanson, to home and make trouble for him.
While he was silent, Lucy's voice came again, "Now I only have one request for you. You must be loyal
to Essie, and you can't cheat on her."
Zac choked. He never liked women. The only woman he could touch and was willing to touch was
Essie. How could he cheat on her?
"Mom, you can rest assured for this," he said firmly.
When they were talking, Essie had already woken up. When she faintly heard their conversation, she
wiped the sweat on her forehead. What's wrong with mom? Why did she suddenly mention this to icy
guy?
She sat up and made an excuse that she was a little thirsty. She asked Zac to leave the room and went
downstairs to heat the red date tea for her.
She called her mother to sit on the edge of the bed. "Mom, Zac and I are fine now. Mary have moved to
another house. The Rong Mansion is very quiet."
"Essie, Zac is not an ordinary person. He is a young man from a rich family. There are countless
women who admire him. You can't be careless. Especially during this period of time, those bitches are
more likely to take advantage of it. "
With a calm look on her face, Essie didn't care about it at all. She knew very well that even if those
women climbed into his bed, they would be kicked down by him without hesitation.
"Well, mom, I'll be careful. Don't worry."
Seeing that she didn't care about it at all, Lucy couldn't help but want to tell her that Irene had a crush
on Zac, but in the end, she choked back and didn't say it out directly. Instead, she said in another way,
"I find that Irene is getting more and more unreasonable. She just wore a slip dress and came to Zac.
Not to mention that Zac is not his biological cousin, even if he is her biological brother, she can't do
that. It's not proper. "
"She's French and open-minded. She won't pay too much attention to these details. You'll just remind
her later," said Essie with a smile.
"I think this child must have been single for too long. I have introduced so many good men to her
before, but she didn't like any of them, so she refused all of them. If she really wants to find a man like
Zac, she can't find anyone unless she comes to compete with you." Lucy's tone was a little heavier,
reminding her daughter to be careful.
"Mom, don't worry about Irene. You have a generation gap with her, and there is also a conflict
between the eastern and western thoughts. You can't interfere in her affairs." Essie waved her hand.
Her mother had paid special attention to Irene recently, which really confused her.
Lucy curled her lips. How Irene was going to be willful and open was her business. As long as she
didn't harass her son-in-law and destroy her daughter's marriage, she would be fine.
Zac came in with a cup of jujube tea in his hand. Seeing this, Lucy walked out. She had said what she
should say and what she should remind them, hoping that they could be on guard. As for Irene, she
would keep an eye on her all the time and wouldn't give her any chance to make a move.
Zac closed the door and lay down beside Essie. "Honey, is my mother-in-law giving you a lecture to
keep an eye on me?"
With a soft smile, Essie revealed two cute dimples. "You are naturally immune to women. Do you need
me to keep an eye on?"
"Yes, you are right. It is me who should keep an eye on you." Zac put his arm around her shoulder and
looked at her affectionately as if she was a rare treasure.
With her thick long eyelashes blinking stealthily, Essie put her hand into his robe and asked, "Honey,
have you been enduring hard these days?"
"You owe me first, and then you will pay me back with breath." He smiled evilly and said in a light and
slow tone, but her face turned pale. She quickly took her hand back. If the man erupted like
Yellowstone volcano, how could she bear it.
She glanced at him coquettishly, pulled the quilt and wrapped herself up.
"Honey, it's useless to resist. All you can do is to be obedient, okay?" Zac smiled and pinched her nose.
"I'm born to be rebellious. Didn't you know that?"
I'm sleepy. I'll go back to sleep. You can read. " Then she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
Zac shook his head and laughed. This was what Essie was good at.
Well, let her go for the time being.
The next day.
Taking a look at Irene, Essie chuckled in a joking tone, "Irene, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, but I have someone I like." Irene's eyes swept across Zac's handsome face, overflowing with an
imperceptible emotion.
Zac didn't look at her. His eyes were fixed on the only treasure in his life. Hearing her words, Essie was
slightly shocked. When she was about to ask, Ivy interrupted her. "Sis Irene, who do you like? Do I
know?"
"Keep it a secret." Irene winked mysteriously. Since Essie was so generous, she didn't need to worry
too much. There was an old Chinese saying in China that 'Every miller draws water to his own mill'.
"Sis Irene, are you in a one-sided love affair?" Ivy pouted and felt sorry for each other.
Irene's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly recovered as usual. According to her conditions, it
was enough to be a mistress of Zac. She believed that Zac would like her.
"No, I didn't. We love each other." She smiled to cover up her guilt.
Ivy didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that Hanson hadn't accepted her yet, she felt sad and went
back to her room alone.
Essie came downstairs to drink the bird's nest soup. After drinking it, she went upstairs. There were
only Zac and Irene left in the hall.
Irene liked this moment of solitude very much. This was a rare good opportunity.
Unfortunately, Zac was planning the food for his wife next week, so he didn't pay any attention to her.
She rolled her eyes two times and came up with a plan.
