Chapter 35 Here Comes The Mother-in-law

When Zac finally knew that something was up, it was already too late. The moment he swallowed the cabbage, it felt as if his whole mouth was burning. He coughed with great force, trying to get rid of the spice.

Essie had put a whole bottle of wild pepper into the pot without anyone noticing.

Seeing his face flushed and sweaty as he ran to the kitchen to get some water, Essie was in a good mood. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly. A smile was playing on her lips.

When he returned to the table, Zac smiled bitterly. "Are you feeling better now? Do you want to punish me again?"

Essie snorted in disgust. In fact, she was far from done yet. As long as she continued to think of Zac 'cheating' on her, her anger continued to spread like wildfire.

"You better clean your room today. I swear, don't you even think about catching infectious diseases?" she snapped. She had always thought that Zac was a clean freak. It seemed, however, that sex was his exception.

Zac took a deep breath. He knew that if he didn't explain his situation as soon as possible, his life with her would be a living hell.

His lips twitched. "Honey, nothing happened."

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

What?

Essie almost rolled off the bed in shock.

"Wait, where are you?" she repeated as her eyes widened.

"Your apartment."

"Mom, why didn't you tell me that you'll come here?" Essie's forehead was already drenched with cold sweat as she thought of all the possibilities that could run her over.

Lucy burst into laughter. "We wanted to surprise you, silly."

It was a surprise, all right. It was going to be her surprise funeral. Essie didn't take another minute as she jumped out of bed and put on her clothes. She rushed into Zac's room. Her face was flushed.

"It's over," she said quickly. "My parents are here."
