Chapter 44 Do They Have An Affair

"Of course not." Then Essie shrugged.

Hearing Wendy mention the past, Lucy felt unease sweep through her.

Back then, because she couldn't have another child, Bob's parents were against his marriage with her. They did everything possible to break it off. Even though Essie was quite young, she was bestowed with sensibility. She was a considerate child. In order to make the family accept her mother and her, she even agreed to change her last name. She also swore that no matter who she married, she would maintain the surname and make sure her kids would have it.

"Wendy!" When Lucy was about to speak, she was stopped by Bob. In a firm voice, he said, "About Essie’s issue, I will deal it with Lucy. We will sort it out in Zac's parents' presence. But at present, we are here to talk about Finney."

He made it clear to everyone that he didn't want other people putting their nose in his daughter's business.

Wendy rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm doing it for your sake."

Listening to her aunt's words, Essie sneered in her heart. She knew very well that people like her aunt cared about nothing but money. Human beings had no value at all! She held Zac's hand and said, "There is a beautiful garden here. Let's get a breath of fresh air, shall we?"

"Okay," Zac replied with a smile. It was indeed suffocating in here.

Antony also stood up. His condition seemed worse than Zac's. His mother-in-law was indeed a scary woman. "Finney, let's go with them."

Finney nodded, and the four of them left the room together.

In the garden, they sat around a round table, enjoying the fresh air. Essie took a deep breath and giggled all of a sudden. Seeing the look on other's face, she explained, "You rich people have your fun. And allow us poor people to have ours. We don't have money. But as long as we are happy, nothing else matters. Don't you think so?"

Holding her by the shoulder, Zac's eyes brimmed with tenderness. "It's my pleasure to marry a woman like you."

Antony looked at them with admiration and said, "Lovely! I love to see women who don't value money too much."

"Antony, but if every women became like me, then men like you who are tall, handsome, rich would lose their advantages." Essie was teasing him now.

"That's true," Antony smiled, with an indescribable shimmer on his face.

Finney sighed and said, "I am glad you are optimistic. However, you have to be mentally prepared for what is to come. Your wedding won't be so smooth."

Essie smiled and patted on Zac's shoulder. "How many siblings do y

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

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

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ant to me accompany you? You could use another pair of hands," Zac suggested, a teasing smile playing around his lips.

"No, thanks." She shook her head and hurried out.

Zac wasn't suspicious at all. Lazily, he slouched on the sofa, hoping to take a nap. But before he closed his eyes, his eyes fell on the purple leather bag. She had forgotten to take it. 'What a silly girl!' he thought to himself.

Knowing she would feel like an idiot at the supermarket, he caught hold of the bag and rushed outside.

When he reached downstairs, he saw the slender figure not far away.

Just when he was about to call her, something stopped him. The presence of a man left him stunned. Words wouldn't come out of his mouth.

Hanson came out of the Lamborghini which was parked at the corner. His smile was as charming as the sunlight.

"Hanson, have you waited long?" She smiled sweetly.

"I would wait for years if it meant I could see your beautiful face." He opened the car door in a graceful manner.

Seeing her disappear inside the car, Zac couldn't help but clench his fists. Once the car was out of his sight, he turned around and brutally punched the old tree next to him. The green branches trembled. Sand and leaves began to shower on his shoulders. Even though he was hurt, he didn't feel any pain. In short, the scene that had unfolded before him left him numb.

Not far away, another pair of eyes witnessed this scene.

'Oh my God! Is my daughter cheating on Zac?'

Lucy put her hand on her forehead and almost fainted. She couldn't wait to discuss about this to her husband. 'We were so busy testing Zac that we didn't even think about our daughter!' she thought with disappointment.
