Chapter 36 Exposure


    Zac was shocked. He didn''t expect he would meet his inws so soon. But knowing he had to help her


    at the moment, he regained hisposure and said, "I''lle 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 ced 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 rtionship 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 bedrooms


    and two parlors, but only two bedrooms were furnished with a bed. The other room had a tailored table


    and a sewing machine. It was his daughter''s design room.


    "Only you two live in this house?" He was a little worried.


    Noticing her father''s expression, Essie held his arm and said, "Dad, it''s expensive now. But if we find a


    third person, we would be more than happy to take them in."


    ''Why not look for a girl to share your apartment!'' he wanted to ask, but bit back his words. Moreover, it


    would be wrong to speak about it in Zac''s presence. He hoped to mention it some other time.


    Essie handed the apples peeled by Zac to her parents and said, "Dad, mom, you should tell me in


    advance and let me make preparations."


    "We are family. You don''t have to prepare for our visits." "Actually we came with your aunt this time.


    Your cousin, Finney, graduated from college and now she works here. You two should often visit each


    other," Lucy suggested with a smile.

    "That''s great. Whichpany does Finney work for?" Essie asked, looking quite interested.


    "Hengyaun Co., Ltd." As soon as these words came out of Lucy''s mouth, Essie''s face changed.


    "Okay," she replied without any enthusiasm. An unnoticeable shadow drifted across Essie''s face and


    she changed the topic immediately. "Dad, mom, have you had your breakfast yet?"


    "Yes, we did. But it looks like you just woke up. Do you have noodles? I''ll cook for you." Bob stood up.


    He was graceful in the drawing room and skillful in the kitchen.


    Essie pped her hands cheerfully and said, "Okay, I haven''t eaten the noodles cooked by my father


    for a long time. I am craving for them."


    After Bob went into the kitchen, Lucy began to sip her tea. Turning her gaze back to her daughter, she


    decided to ask about her job.


    Essie didn''t want them to worry about her, so she hadn''t told them she left Be Company and opened


    an online store. But now seemed like the right time toe clean. One by one, she filled her mom in.


    Lucy responded calmly. ording to her, it was a good thing for young people to start their own


    business. She wasn''t worried, instead she thought Essie was in the right direction.


    "What does Zac do?" she asked, her gaze shifting to her daughter''s roommate.


    "Mom, he is an architect." Essie didn''t give Zac a chance to answer. Instead, she answered for him.


    Hearing this, her mother was impressed.


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


    "Yes." Zac nodded and nced 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 d he decided to y 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 cab so that there was enough room for her daughter. She picked up the


    canvas bag that was ced in a corner. Suddenly, a red paper fell out from it.


    "Mommmm!" Essie screamed, jumping up like a frog. But it was toote. Lucy had already read the


    bold words on the marriage certificate.
