Chapter 101 Is The Baby Yours (Part Two)

"What's wrong with you?"

A scenario played in Essie's head for a while. 'One day, Zac had an argument with Leila and got himself drunk. Valery then climbed into his bed and a drunken Zac thought it was Leila and later impregnated Valery.'

Such plots were frequently seen on TV shows. Not to mention, Valery's mother, Elizabeth, was a very skilled woman. She must have inherited that from her.

"Did Valery's family force you to marry her?" This was something she knew, and didn't even have to guess. Some people were just like super glue. Once you stick to their skin, there was no way out of it.

"There's no way I would marry her, but I want to be responsible and raise the baby myself," he said with sheer determination, assuring that the child was indeed important to him and he wanted to be responsible for it.

This answer made Essie feel a bit uneasy.

'Why would you want to take care of a baby if it weren't yours?'

It seemed to Essie that he just admitted that the child was his.

The thought that he had sex and had a child with the woman she hated the most was getting to her nerves and was driving her crazy. She looked at him with hard staring as while burning rage hissed through her body.

To her, he was a cold liar who was tainted and could never wash himself clean anymore.

"I'm sure that Valery and her family will never agree to it. They forced you to get married to Valery and because you didn't want to, you decided to run off and hide in Yang City. Am I right?" she bragged mockingly.

Not a single word escaped Zac's lips and he sat completely silent.

He had exhausted all his efforts to make sure that the child would be born into the world safely.

Essie acknowledged his silence as a confession, and an unpredictable smirk slowly appeared on her face. "Let me guess... You need my help. Since I am your wife, protected by the law, as long as I don't give up my position, there will be no way to force you into marriage with Valery."

A glimmer flashed through Zac's deep black eyes from surprise.

It was as if she could see right through him.

In some cases, she seemed as muddled and

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.

e to go but move forward and fight for her way.

With his arms folded over his chest, Zac leaned against the door and watched her endearingly in silence. There was a subtle, but deep look in his eyes.

"There's no need for you to bring too many things. If there's anything that you'll need later on, I can just ask some people to buy them for you."

"How long do we have to stay?" she asked in a low voice. She knew that this question was redundant as there was no reason for him to come back to Yang City as Dragon City was his home. She wondered if he would ever come back to this city after coming back home.

"If things don't go as planned and if you are unhappy there, we will be back here by two weeks," he said in a somewhat humorous and witty tone. He could see the uneasiness in her heart very clearly, and this was something he took into account.

Essie cast a mischievous glance at him.

She wondered how he would react if he found out that Valery was his half-sister.

Shock. Madness. Spit blood. Fury.

Her mind was so muddled by this point, she simply couldn't imagine.

However, she was treating this as revenge for all his deception.

She zipped up her suitcase and carried it downstairs. She took out a box of ice cream from the freezer and went back to her room to watch some TV while enjoying some sweets.

Zac sat beside her.

"Is Leila coming with us?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.
