Chapter 151 A sh In The Pan (Part Two)


    Essie found her father-inw very kind and amiable, and he always seemed to look out for her. Once it


    was time for her to get a divorce with Zac, she would feel very sorry for him.


    On the other hand, Zac was also full of admiration for his dad. No wonder Albert was the head of the


    family—he was so wise.


    While the servants were serving dinner, Zac said in a careless tone, "Essie likes having a lively


    atmosphere, and thinks living in a house with just me is too lonely, so we decided to move back."


    "It''s time you went home." Albert gave his son a subtle smile.


    At the dinner table, Valery was actually the most upset one. If Essie''s role and status had been


    consolidated, she was an even bigger threat to her. The more power Essie had, the more threatened


    Valery became.


    In the evening, Zac apanied his father to his study to y chess.


    Meanwhile, Essie watched some TV with Ivy. When she heard that there were a few new Epiphyllum


    flowers in the garden and that they bloomed at 9:00 every night, Essie jumped up in excitement and


    immediately ran to the garden to wait for them.


    She had never seen Epiphyllum flower bloom right before her eyes. She had recently begun designing


    a new series of clothes, so she was hoping to find some inspiration.


    When Essie came to the flower bed, she found that Valery was also there. Apparently, she had also


    could make a wish right before they bloomed, and she thought it would be good for her to make a wish


    for love, so she came to give it a shot. Valery wanted to drive away Essie, and make Zac fall in love


    with her.


    Upon seeing Essie, she cast a stern nce at her and asked, "Are you here to make a wish too?"


    A faint smile appeared on Essie''s face. She wasn''t interested in doing such a childish thing. In the past,


    every time she saw a meteor, she would make a wish in hopes of marrying Hanson and bing his


    wife.


    However, her wish never came true. Perhaps the meteor was just too far away to hear her, or maybe it


    heard her wrong so she ended up marrying Zac.


    "I''m just here to see the Epiphyllum bloom," she said casually as she squatted down beside the flower


    bed.


    "In my opinion, your marriage with Mr. Zac is only a sh in the pan, like the flower," said Sage with a


    voice dripping with sarcasm.


    Essie sneered, "Isn''t your chest aching?" Her tone sounded light, but the warning in her words seemed


    even deadlier than lead.


    Sage shivered and subconsciously covered her chest with her hand.


    Heaven was not being cooperative that night.


    Dark clouds quietly gathered up in the sky, and with a gale came the pouring ofrge droplets of rain.


    They all hurried into the pavilion to get shelter from the rain.


    Holding her trembling arms, Valery said, "Sage, I''m so cold. Do you think I''ll catch a cold?"


    "Miss Valery, you might catch a cold from the strong wind. Wait here. I''ll go to get an umbre and a


    nket." Sage was just about to rush out when Valery grabbed her arm. "No, I don''t want to be left with


    her alone. What if she tries to hurt me and my child?"


    Essie rolled her eyes at the two of them.


    Sage agreed with Valery. ''This woman must hate Miss Valery and the baby in her belly so much. If I


    leave, she will certainly take this opportunity to harm them. Miss Valery might even get a miscarriage


    because of her,'' Sage thought to herself.


    Sage came over and wrapped her arms around Valery to warm her up. Neither she nor Valery brought


    their cell phones with them, so they couldn''t ask someone to bring them umbres. All they could do


    was wait for the rain to stop.


    Then, with a sinister smile, Valery said, "Essie, get me a nket and an umbre." Her tone sounded


    like she was ordering a servant.


    "Yes, that''s a good idea. You''re not pregnant, so it''s okay for you to get wet in the rain," Sage said


    before Essie could say anything.

    Essie sneered. Arrogant and bossy people were never willing to lower their noble heads even if they


    were asking for help.


    "You wait here," Essie said coldly before running out of the pavilion.


    "Hurry up! Don''t dy on purpose. Otherwise, I''ll catch a cold, and I''ll tell mommy about it," Valery


    shouted at Essie.


    ''Shit!''


    Essie cursed in her mind.


    The rain was pouring so heavily that she immediately got wet all over. If it weren''t for the fact that ice


    guy cared about the baby, she wouldn''t have even considered helping that woman.


    There was more than one garden in the vi, and they were in the one that was farthest away from the


    main house.


    While she was running through the bamboo forest, she didn''t notice the stone in front of her and she


    stumbled over it by ident.


    She immediately felt a sharp pain on her knees. She clenched her teeth, stood up, and limped forward.


    In the living room, the moment Ivy saw her disheveled appearance, she quickly stood up and


    approached her. "Essie, were you watching the Epiphyllum when it rained? Oh, your knees are


    bleeding. Did you fall? Why didn''t you just take shelter in the pavilion for a while and ask a servant to


    bring you an umbre?"


    "I forgot to bring my cell phone with me. Valery is still there, so please arrange for someone to bring her


    a nket and an umbre. Don''t let her catch a cold," Essie said breathlessly.


    Ivy nodded and called a servant. Then, the servant ran out at once with a nket and an umbre.


    Essie returned to her room, and as soon as she took off the wet clothes, Zac suddenly came in. Seeing


    her curvy figure, an evil smile appeared on his face and he said, "Honey, you''re such a good wife. Did


    you take off your clothes while waiting for me?"
