It seemed that Zac was not worried at all. He said lightly, "Brother always playful and is not stable. If I
hadn't taken the heavy burden for him, he wouldn't have had the time to travel around the world and
have nothing to do."
Essie glanced at him again and sighed, "I don't think brother is a simple person. He is a mysterious
man. I can't understand him."
Stroking her nose with a smile, Zac said, "You little fool, you can't understand just anyone."
With a grimace, Essie said, "Maybe your mother hopes that your brother can inherit the Rong family
more than you do. It seems that brother is preferable in her eyes."
"Probably." Zac said with a faint smile. "Mom and I hold different opinions on many things. There will be
conflict whenever we are together, but my brother is obedient and seldom disobeys her. As a result,
she preferred my brother more than me," he said faintly. Since he was a little boy, no matter what
decisions he made, Alena had asked him to make decisions and take the consequences on his own.
Thus, as a sensible man, he had been very independent and no one could make a decision for him
without his permission, including his mother, Mary.
"You are really an unpopular child," Essie naughtily blinked her eyes again and teased him.
"The more children you have, the more parents will choose. Unlike you, the only child, who can be
doted on by everyone," Zac said sarcastically.
"You are so lucky to have no siblings with the same father but different mother. Your daddy and
Mommy still love each other so much!" She wanted to laugh, but when she thought of her family in the
past, the smile was blown away by the autumn wind.
"It's better to say that they respect each other than they love each other." Zac shrugged.
"There are still many differences between loving each other and living in peace, okay?" She pouted
and said in a cute voice. Took them as an example, they have their own love in
their heart. She did not love him, and he did not love her. Yet, they bumped into marriage based on
certain interests and goals. And they maintained at least respect and being loyal to each other during
the survival of the marriage. It can be said that they respect each other as a guest.
"Which case do we belong to?" He wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"What do you think?" raising her eyebrows, Essie asked deliberately in reply.
"Since we are a perfect match, sooner or later it will become the former." A charming smile appeared
on Zac's face, with a bit of confidence, as if he was sure that she would fall in love with him in the end.
But Essie didn't have the confidence. Unless he fell in love with her first, she would never give her
heart to him first. She was just a substitute. As long as her heart was with herself, she
could be sure that she would not feel that painful when she was driven away when she was
out of use.
"Even we are a perfect match. Whatever, our agreement still works. As long as the paternity test
proves that you are related to her child, I will definitely not stay with you for one more minute," she said
firmly.
With a relaxed look on his face, Zac said, "Honey, you shall know what fate cannot be violated." He
smiled wickedly, as if he had held her in his palm and she could never escape.
"But aunt Bonney said that we would be apart." Essie sat down on the bench and took a flower from
the flower bed. At the thought of leaving him, she felt sad for no reason.
"I won't let it happen." He held her and tightened his arms, as if she could not escape.
"Then, please pray that you have nothing to do with Valery's child," she said softly and weakly, as weak
as the wind.
"It's useless to beg for that. The fact can't be changed ever since the child was in the form of
a fetus." Zac shrugged.
"You are right." As she finished her words, she curled her lips and lowered her head. Then she
continued to remove the petals one by one and continued to break them into pieces. In a short while, a
small flower tomb piled up on the marbles table in front of her.
Zac caressed her head and said, "What a flower terminator you are!"
She turned her head and made a funny face at him. "I am the flower terminator. You are a thief who
would steal women. You are the one who linger among women."
He put his handsome face close to hers, with hot breath on her lips, and said, "I just want to pick and
linger in this flower." After that, he kissed her red lips lightly.
She suddenly pushed him away, stood up and ran three meters away from him. "I have a long thorn.
It's not easy to pluck me." Then she turned and ran deep into the garden.
Zac grinned and followed them. It didn't matter if there were thorns. He would pluck them one by one.
A few days before mid-autumn festival, the relatives such as the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, the sixth
uncle, aunt, maternal uncle, maternal aunt etc. would be gathered together. Several family members
arrived one after another. The Rong Mansion was bustling, and its few courtyard were full of relatives.
As the future hostess of the Rong family, Essie certainly had to be busy, she had to learn how about
the preparation of the banquet.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired that she felt there was something wrong with her body. She
often felt tired, dizzy and nausea, and she always wanted to vomit.
