Chapter 116 Call Me Honey (Part Two)


    Elizabeth was so angry that she nearly burst into a frenzy. She didn''t expect Zac to be so ruthless


    towards her. "You are engaged to Valery and she is pregnant with your child. Don''t you think it''s your


    responsibility to take care of her?"


    "I''ll take care of the baby. As for her..." A hint of sarcasm flitted over Zac''s face. "Since you have so


    much free time, why don''t you take some time to teach her a lesson? If she wants to be a daughter-in-


    like her wouldn''t even be wanted by beggars on the side of the road, so how can you expect her to get


    into our family?"


    Elizabeth''s face was now as red as a ripe apple with a tinge of purple and brown. She took a deep


    breath and swallowed hard, trying very hard to calm herself down. Elizabeth knew that if she provoked


    him further, she would get nothing from him. If she really wanted to drive Essie away, she had to turn to


    Mary.


    With that, she dejectedly left with Valery.


    "Honey, you are so bossy!" Essie said as she gave Zac a thumbs up.


    Zac''s ck eyes suddenly sparkled with joy, making it look like a starry night sky. "Say that again!" He


    drew a charming smile at the corners of his mouth.


    Essie thought it was a good time to act silly. She put her index finger on the corner of her mouth and


    asked cutely, "Say what?"


    "The word you just said." He knew that she was ying dumb. He raised his hand and flicked her on


    the forehead.


    "Oh, I can''t remember." She stuck her tongue out at him mischievously, turned around, and tried to


    escape, but Zac wasn''t going to let her go just like that. He picked her up from behind and strode into


    the room, looking like he was going to extort information from her through torture. Essie''s face turned


    pale with fear, and she hurriedly raised her hand in surrender. ''A wise man knows when to bow his


    head. As I''m living in his house, I have to do it when necessary,'' thought she. Essie put her mouth


    close to his ear and whispered, "Honey!"


    However, her husband was insatiable. "That''s not enough. You have to say it ten times in a row."


    A fierce look shed in Essie''s eyes, but she reluctantly submitted anyway. "Honey, honey..." she said


    casually. However, in her heart, she was actually saying, "Son of a bitch, asshole..."


    When they returned to the room, Essie sat down on the sofa. Then, she took a litchi from the fruit te,


    peeled it, put it in her mouth, and spat out the core. "Your house is like a wondend. I feel like I would


    get lost if I went out by myself."


    Zac stroked her head in a pampering manner and asked, "Where did Ivy take you today?"


    "The garden, orchard, greenke and..." She paused and said softly, "The ghost house."


    Zac frowned. "Stay away from that ce."


    "Is there a ghost inside it? For real?" Essie''s big ck eyes blinked twice, full of curiosity.


    "Ghosts only exist in people''s hearts," Zac said with a faint smile.


    "Have you ever been to that ce?" Essiey down on the sofa and put her head on hisp. The firm


    muscles of his thighs made her feel veryfortable. Zac touched her hair and yed with it casually.


    "It''s a forbidden area. No one can enter is except for Uncle Li."


    "Aren''t you curious about what''s inside?" She pouted.


    "Curiosity kills the cat." Zac pinched her chin. He didn''t really care about people or things that had


    nothing to do with him.


    "Ivy said that she once heard someone crying in there. It was so weird." Essie crossed her arms over


    her chest, as if she was thinking about something.


    "It could have just been the wind. There''s arge bamboo forest outside the yard. Whenever wind


    passes through the bamboo forest, it sounds like a whimper." Zac grinned. Then he peeled a litchi and


    put it in her mouth. His wife''s intense curiosity made him wonder if she had been influenced by Jim, the


    gossip king.


    While eating the litchi, she caught a glimpse of a photo of Zac''s family on the nightstand. The moment


    she saw it, she said, "Zac, you have a twin brother. Why isn''t he here?"


    "He is in the US for business. He will be back in a few days," Zac said understatedly.


    Essie got up from the sofa and walked up to the photo. "Which one is your brother?"


    Zac pointed at the man standing beside him. Startled, Essie said, "You guys lookpletely different.


    Aren''t twins supposed to look alike?"


    "Who says twins have to look exactly the same? I think there are a lot of twins that don''t look alike."


    Zac scratched her nose.


    ''That makes sense. If one looked like their mom and the other looked like their dad, then they would


    not look alike,'' she thought.


    Essie turned around and looked at Zac. He had good genes. His father was a handsome man, and his


    mother was breathtakingly beautiful, and he evidently inherited all of their best features. No wonder he


    was so handsome.


    Even though his brother was a little inferior to him in looks, he was absolutely still a handsome man.


    Upon closer inspection, Essie realized that the man looked familiar. She must have seen him


    somewhere before.


    But she quickly dismissed it as an illusion. He was the son of a rich family. It was impossible for her to


    know him.


    Thinking of this, Essie smiled and gave a thumbs up to Zac. "You are so lucky to have so many


    handsome and beautiful people in your family."


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A servant hade to tell them that the stuff Zac had


    bought had been ced in the room facing the garden upstairs as he had ordered.


    "Let''s go have a look." Zac took her hand and walked out of the room.


    Essie never thought that he would actually arrange a studio for her here,plete with a sewing


    machine, a tailoring table, and an embroidery machine. Everything she needed was here.


    Was he nning on having her live here for a long time?


    Was she supposed to wait for the birth of the baby?


    "How long exactly will we be staying here?" Essie didn''t feel happy. Instead, she felt quite worried.


    There was too much pressure here, and she liked the freedom she had in Yang City.


    Zac shook his head and smiled. "This is just a spare studio for you. If we end up having toe back


    here often in the future, you wouldn''t have to dy your orders since you have this studio."


    In the future? Hearing that, Essie''s heart trembled again. Once Valery''s child was born, they would split

    up. They didn''t have a future at all!


    "Thank you, Zac," she said in a low voice. In spite of her doubts, she still felt warm in her heart.


    Meanwhile, in another room in the vi,


    Valery was crying in her mother''s arms.


    Elizabethforted Valery and put her hand on her daughter''s head. "You were too reckless when you


    beat that bitchst time, and now you have left a bad impression on Zac. You have to take the time to


    turn the situation around."


    "What should I do?" Valery sniffed.


    "You have to look weak and act as the victim to gain the sympathy of your mother-inw and everyone


    else. That way, you can make the little bitch look like an evil person. This is what you''ll do at dinner..."


    Elizabeth half covered her mouth and whispered in her daughter''s ear.


    Hearing her mother''s idea, a sly smile tugged at the corners of Valery''s mouth.
