Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 110

"She went back yesterday." There was a hint of coldness in Zac's tone. He frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about Leila.

Essie wondered if he had explained the whole marriage thing to her.

Did he tell Leila the truth that they were just acting to put her mind at ease?

'Forget it. It's none of my business,' Essie comforted herself in mind.

Then, she stretched out her hand to look at the brilliant ring on it. "Is this a crystal or a diamond?" she asked Zac.

Leila must have recognized it at a glance. She was a jewelry designer and a professional jewelry assessor. No wonder she acted so weirdly when she saw it.

'I really don't know what's going on in this guy's mind. He gave me a diamond ring and made me showcase it in front of his girlfriend. Is he trying to play a game?' she wondered.

What was worse, it was a very valuable diamond. How could he let her wear it? Wasn't he afraid that she would lose it?

Fortunately, she took it off the day she was kidnapped for fear that the oil and smoke would damage the ring while she was cooking. Otherwise, Valery would have been even more furious than Leila, and she would have definitely cut off her hand.

"It's just a stone. As long as you like it, it's okay." Zac smiled, it was just as she had said to Finney the other day.

Essie's lips curled up.

She had said that on purpose that day in order to save his face.

But the value between the two stones were vastly different.

Even if she worked hard her entire life, she would never be able to afford this stone.

It wasn't a big deal to him because he was rich!

"Well... Should I prepare some gifts for your family?" she spoke in a small voice, mostly because of how little money she had. She didn't even have enough money to buy a nice gift for her rich parents-in-law.

Zac stroked her head in a comforting manner. "Don't worry. I have everything we need."

Essie breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. After all, he knew his parents' likes best.

The next noon, she and Zac arrived at Dragon City.

While sitting in the car, Essie looked out of the window and into the busy street.

Fifteen years had passed since she left this city.

As the most powerful international financial center in the eastern region, it not only had a rich cultural background, but it also developed very quickly.

Zac's family's house was situated near the mountain and right beside the river. It was a hundred-year-old house.

In Essie's memory, she knew that her original family had a large house, but the villa of Zac's family was even larger. It was just like a grand wonderland.

After they entered the gate, it took a while before they finally saw the antique mansion.

The butler, Uncle Li, was waiting for them at the door.

"Mr. Zac, you are back. Mrs. Elizabeth and Miss Valery heard that you were coming back and both of them are waiting for you in the hall." Uncle Li took a closer look at Essie and gave Zac a meaningful look. His look seemed to be a reminder for his young master to be cautious.

Zac nodded at him with a smile and took Essie's hand. "Uncle Li, this is my lady."

'My lady?'

Uncle Li was utterly shocked. His eyes darted around the house.

Mr. Zac was married?

'Oh my God! Things are going to go out of control now!' he thought.

"Hello, Uncle Li," Essie greeted him politely.

"Hello, my lady," Uncle Li replied with a smile.

The main house of Zac's family was a one hundred year old house and was still in the Republic style.

They walked across a small courtyard to get to the main hall.

Zac's grandfather had six sons and two daughters. The eldest one died at an early age, and the second, who was Zac's father, took over the family business and became the new head of the family. The other sons and the eldest daughter were not there at the moment. Some of them were abroad, while some were in other cities.

As for Zac's grandmother, she spent most of her time in Switzerland with Zac's grandfather because of her asthma.

At present, Zac's parents, the third son of Zac's grandparents, and Marci's family were all living in their family's house.

In the hall, Zac's parents were sitting on one side, and on the other side were Elizabeth and her daughter. The set up looked like a court trial.

Zac was the apple of his grandparents' eyes. At the age of five, he had already been appointed as the fourth head of the family.
