Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 115

Essie didn't know if there was actually a ghost, but there was one thing she knew for certain: there was a hidden secret in the yard.

As they walked towards the pavilion, they saw Daisy coming from the bamboo forest path. Ivy waved her over, and they all sat around the stone table in the pavilion. Once they were settled down, they asked the servants to bring them some afternoon tea.

"The moment Zac came back, the whole house became bustling with noise." An ironic smile appeared on Daisy's face.

"I really can't stand Valery anymore. Is it such a big deal to be pregnant? Isabella already has three sons, but Richard hasn't married her yet," Ivy said.

"I agree. I don't even know how she got pregnant. The woman Zac loves is none other than Leila." In Daisy's eyes, Zac and Leila were perfect for each other.

"No. Zac is in love with Essie now. He has already moved on from Leila." Ivy made a face and stuck out her tongue at Daisy. It seemed like they didn't agree with each other.

"I don't believe that he will let go of his relationship with Leila. They started dating in middle school, and he loves Leila with all his heart. There are a lot of girls who have a crush on him, but he has never had a relationship with any other girl. If it weren't for the conflict between the two families and Valery's intervention, they would have gotten married already," said Daisy, not caring about how Essie would feel.

After hearing what she said, Essie was calm. She knew that ice guy loved Leila, but she didn't intend to fight with her. Her opponent was Valery. As long as Valery was beaten, she would be successful and leave, letting Leila marry her lover and live together.

Ivy coughed to cover the awkwardness in the air and said, "Cousin, please take a look at the situation clearly. Zac's only choices for his wife are Essie and Valery. Leila has no right to be his wife. If Zac insists on being with Leila, not only would he have to give up his status as the crown prince of the family, but he would also be betraying everyone in the family. He cannot afford to pay such a cruel price. So don't cause any trouble. Just support Essie with me. It's far more realistic than supporting Leila." Although Ivy was still young, she knew more about the family than any of her other siblings. This was because her favorite past time was to hide herself in closets and eavesdrop on the adults' conversations.

Hearing this, Daisy fell into silence. She had to admit that every word that Ivy said made sense and there was no way to deny any of it. Leila and Zac could never be together.

Meanwhile, Essie was shocked by this new piece of information.

Was it really that serious?

Why would he be deprived of inheritance if he decided to marry Leila?

What kind of feud was there between Leila's family and Zac's family? Was it so bad that even their descendants had to pay for it?

No wonder icy guy quarreled with Leila so often. They couldn't see a future for their love. They were just like the beautiful flowers in the mirror—no matter how perfect they were, they couldn't hold each other. It was just like that song from that famous TV drama that said, "I loved you from the wrong side, and I lost my soul when I lost you."

They were in such a dilemma.

'Well, it seems like people become greedier the richer they become. It's a good thing that I am just an ordinary person. This way, I have the freedom to love whoever I want and do whatever I want,' Essie thought.

They girls chatted for a while, then they got up and went to the mansion.

Meanwhile, Zac had just come out of his father's room and was just about to look for Essie when he saw Valery walking towards him with her big belly.

Zac turned around and tried to walk away from her. But Valery unexpectedly trotted over to him and hugged him from behind. "Do you have any idea how much time I spent looking for you? Do you know how much I love you? I am willing to die for you. Why did you have to bring that woman back here to anger me? If it were not for the child, I would not have been able to continue living!"
