Chapter 109 Is The Baby Yours (Part Two)


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    A scenario yed in Essie''s head for a while. ''One day, Zac had an argument with Le and got


    himself drunk. Valery then climbed into his bed and a drunken Zac thought it was Le andter


    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 satpletely 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 thew, as long as I don''t


    give up my position, there will be no way to force you into marriage with Valery."

    A glimmer shed through Zac''s deep ck eyes from surprise.


    It was as if she could see right through him.


    In some cases, she seemed as muddled and confused as a mouse. However, there were times that


    she was also so quick and clever that it always seemed to amaze him. He sometimes wondered if she


    was actually really silly or simply pretended to be.


    "Are you willing to go back to Dragon City with me?" he asked her respectfully in a low voice.


    "Only in the condition that we will finalize the divorce the moment she gives birth to the child," she said


    word by word with cold formality.


    Zac instantly trembled when he heard this, as if he was just hit by an unexpected blow. He pursed his


    lips tightly and said nothing. His eyes lookedplicated and deep, as if he was experiencing a painful


    struggle in his heart. After quite some time, a sullen smile appeared on his face and he reluctantly


    agreed. "Okay," he said in a low, feeble tone. He was caught in the middle of a very conflicting situation


    and it seemed that it made him feel very weak.


    When Essie saw this, she lowered her eyes to hide the secrets under the shadow of her thick


    eyshes.


    She was willing toe back to Dragon City, but the truth was, she was doing it for herself.


    If it weren''t for Valery''s involvement in this situation, she would have gotten a divorce from Zac without


    hesitation. She would never involve herself in such aplicated love triangle. However, the situation


    had changed, and she wanted to avenge herself and she was not going to give up so easily.


    This story sounded surprisingly familiar, but this time, she would never let it end the same way it did


    before.


    ''I''m going to make her pay for what she has done to me,'' Essie thought silently withplete


    animosity.


    Back in Dragon City.


    Valery fled back to her home, nearly scared to death.


    She instantly ran to her mother, Elizabeth, with tears that burst like water from a dam, spilling all over


    her face.


    After finding out that her daughter was severely mistreated, Elizabeth rushed out to find Mrs. Mary.


    Back in the day, both Mary and Elizabeth had studied in the same noble school in the United States.


    They were always good friends, in fact, Elizabeth met Baron through Mary.


    Mary had been part of Valery''s life since she was a child. Valery spent her youth looking up to her and


    regarded her as her future mother-inw. She had always cherished Mary and pleased her in every


    possible way.


    This was something she learned from her own mother. The mother-inw would have a huge,


    important role in her son''s marriage. Elizabeth, with the support of her mother-inw Vicki, seeded


    with disowning Lucepletely from their family.


    When Mary learned that her son was currently residing in Yang City, she nned to set out and find


    him the next day. However, Zac called her that same night and assured her that he would be back by


    tomorrow to calm her down.


    Back at Finney''s apartment, Essie packed up all her belongings into her luggage silently. She asked


    Finney to promise not to open the door to anyone, most especially strangers. Essie had a strange


    paranoia that something terrible was about to happen again.


    Essie was in the midst of a lot ofplex emotions including bits of anxiety and confusion.


    After this day, she would be entering the upper ss world of Zac and his family.


    She pondered what kind of world it would be like.


    For now, she had no idea.


    The road ahead of her was covered with mist.


    However, she was hyperaware that there wouldn''t be a range of surprises, but countless unknown


    traps and dangers ahead of her.


    She couldn''t see the path too clearly, but she had nowhere else 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 needter 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 toe back to Yang City as Dragon City was his home. She


    wondered if he would evere back to this city aftering back home.


    "If things don''t go as nned 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 ount.


    Essie cast a mischievous nce 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 Leing with us?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.
