Chapter 36 Exposure

Zac was shocked. He didn't expect he would meet his in laws so soon. But knowing he had to help her at the moment, he regained his composure and said, "I'll come with you to pick them up."

"No, thanks. I can go downstairs myself." Waving her hand, Essie added, "Don't forget that we're just roommates. You are not allowed to mention the marriage in front of them or anyone else for that matter."

He nodded his head in understanding. Her parents hugged her as soon as they saw her. It was a great pleasure to meet their daughter. After she graduated from university and came to Yang City, they hadn't had an opportunity to see her.

In the living room, Zac had already placed tea for them.

Before her parents could ask who he was, she answered, "His name is Zac Rong, and he is my roommate. We split the rent."

Bob's face creased with a frown. Even though he was a liberal man, the idea of his daughter sharing her apartment with another man bothered him.

Lucy looked at Essie's roommate, using her motherly instincts to figure out the relationship between them. From what she knew, her daughter had never been in love. On top of that, she was a mother who believed in giving her daughter privacy. Hence she never tried to pry in her matters.

"Uncle, aunt, have some tea." Zac poured them two cups of tea and began to peel the fruit.

Bob wandered around the house, trying to inspect every nook and cranny. There were three

impressed.

"An architect? That's amazing," Lucy said with a smile.

"Yes." Zac nodded and glanced at Essie. Of course it was a lie. She had no idea what he was doing and didn't want to know at the moment. She was glad he decided to play along. 'It doesn't matter. They will never have to know what he does,' she told herself, hoping this lie was a safe one.

After the breakfast, Essie and her mother began to clean up the room. Zac asked her parents to sleep in his room and he would make himself a bed in Essie's work room. He was quite helpful today.

"Mom, hang your clothes in my closet." Essie dragged the heavy suitcase in.

Lucy meant to tidy up the cabinet so that there was enough room for her daughter. She picked up the canvas bag that was placed in a corner. Suddenly, a red paper fell out from it.

"Mommmm!" Essie screamed, jumping up like a frog. But it was too late. Lucy had already read the bold words on the marriage certificate.
