Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 128

"Zac, don't go, stay and take care of our baby, okay?" Valery said, looking pitiful.

"I'll come back later," Zac said coldly. He jerked her hands off himself and quickly walked out of the living room.

Looking in the direction he had gone, she felt both angry and sad. This amalgamation of overwhelming feelings made her tear up.

Mary walked closer to her and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry. Take it easy. He is bound to come back sooner or later as long as the child is here."

The bamboo forest was quiet, dark and mysterious. Millions of leaves rustled together, creating a meditative atmosphere.

A path paved in stone wound into its depths. The tall bamboos had even dyed the sun green.

The gentle breeze kissed the tips of bamboo leaves lightly. The rustling sounded like someone laughing with pride.

But Essie's senses were clouded by her rage. She walked with heavy steps, brooding so much in her head that she became deaf and blind to the beauty of the forest.

Zac walked behind her. He caught up with her quickly and grabbed her arms from behind.

"Honey, don't be angry. I'm sorry...give me a punishment." He knew that this period of time was bound to cause trouble for her, but it could not be neglected for the safe birth of the child.

With a vicious frown on her face, she turned around and shouted at him, "Ice guy, I can't understand you! If you care so much about the child, why don't you just marry Valery? Anyway, your child needs a complete family!"

Zac pursed his lips. He grabbed her shoulders tighter and pulled her closer. "We can give him an intact family..." he spoke with a serious look on his face.

Essie felt speechless.

Was he suggesting she should be her stepmother? No way!

"Oh, enough with your wishful thinking! I don't want to be a stepmother!"

"Then we can have our own baby..." said Zac in a hushed tone. Both of them fell quiet. The forest continued to rustle in the background. He looked deep into her eyes, wondering what she would say next. He would never force her to accept it. She was a woman with a sharp tongue and high self-esteem. At the same time, she also had a soft heart and was very considerate. He believed when she found out the truth, she would accept it.

However, it sounded absolutely ridiculous to Essie. Undoubtedly, it added fuel to the flames. She wrenched herself free from his grasp and hit him on his shoulder. "Don't you try to play with me. I don't like studs like you. If you want a child, go to Leila."

Zac was sweating. She was so angry she was talking nonsensically. It was better to end this topic before it got worse.

He raised his hands in surrender, looking down. "Okay...I've decided to make up for the grievances and losses you have suffered in the past few months."

She tried to hold back her anger and looked around.

She knew when to stop. He gave an out and she would jump down. She didn't really plan to live with him. They were just using each other for what they needed and fighting off their powerful enemies. She decided to be more generous and tolerant and digest the resentment.

"It depends on your performance." After taking a glance at him, she turned around and walked forward.
