Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 141

The woman looked pale as she coughed a little, trying to push him away. But she was too weak for him to even budge. "Yes, I do. But I can just dance for you. How about dancing?"

Zac waved his slender index finger and said, "I'm not interested. I only accept French kisses today."

Taking a deep breath, Essie tried to escape. But the harder she fought, she was pressed down and unable to move. She was like a helpless lamb, unable to resist the wolf.

Even at her weakest, she wanted him to know that she was forced to do this.

After a long while, the lack of oxygen made her head start to spin. She nearly fainted from suffocation.

When he let go of her, she collapsed in his arms.

He narrowed his eyes at her. He wouldn't force her. He was willing to wait until she was willing to give herself to him.

After watching the film, they went back to their room.

As they were lounging on the bed, Zac casually mentioned that he would go back to his family's house tomorrow.

Essie sneered at this. "Wow, Mrs. Vicki is full of energy these days! She is such a hardworking old hag to force you to marry her granddaughter."

Zac took her into his arms to comfort her. "Don't worry too much. I'll take care of it."

"No." Essie waved him off. "I have to face it myself this time." The ice guy on the side was the one who did the wrong thing. If Valery and her family insisted on Zac abandoning her, he would be charged. But Essie was different. Valery's family was forcing Zac to marry her by painting her as the victim. Essie had to protect her own interests. Even if her enemies were her elders, it didn't change the fact that they were making her life difficult.

Zac, meanwhile, continued to sift his fingers through her hair, petting her comfortably. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, so stop worrying about me!" she said. "I'm glad to have you by my side, which is why I have to protect you."

With a small sigh, Zac said softly, "I'm so lucky to marry a woman like you."

The next day, Mrs. Vicki and Elizabeth arrived at the house. They didn't take Valery with them because she was too emotionally unstable for anything.

Albert, Mrs. Mary, Zac and Essie were waiting in the living room.

Albert invited Mrs. Vicki to sit on the most respectful seat with him, showing great respect to her.

Mary and Elizabeth sat on the left, while Zac and Essie on the right.

After taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Vicki said, "Since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to talk about your plans with Valery."

Albert waved his hand and sighed, "They have their own minds now. There's no need for us parents to get involved in their affairs. We don't like butting into their businesses." And just like that, Albert had shot down Mrs. Vicki's attempts to twist their arms according to her whims. She could ask his son about it, if she wanted. But to rope him into their affairs? Albert knew better than to be led into that trap.

The corners of Mrs. Vicki's mouth twitched. Of course, she understood what Albert meant. He was giving the responsibility to Zac.

Zac noticed that his father did a great job at passing the ball on to him. He just needed to shoot his shot. "I have already told Aunt Elizabeth my plans about this matter. I will raise the child. And I believe that Valery can still find a better husband," he spoke.

Mrs. Vicki frowned. "How can a woman who has given birth find a better man? The only man she needs is you." If her granddaughter had still been a virgin, she could have better marriage prospects from the heirs of other good families. But now that she had been refused and left with a child, only poor, useless boys would take her as a wife.

"As you know, I'm already married. I can't marry her," Zac replied, his tone left no room for any complaints.

"You can get a divorce so you can get married again. Your wife is not pregnant anyways, you can divorce her with no worries. Now that you have a child with Valery, it's the perfect time for both of you to begin your own family. Only a complete family could make your future child happy. Think about it," Mrs. Vicki said.

"So what do you want us to do?" Mary asked.

"We hope that your son divorces Essie as soon as possible and marries Valery. If they really love each other, she can continue to stay by the side of Zac. Valery is very generous and won't interfere their affairs. She just wants her child to be accepted and have a complete family," Vicki said slowly, but made no mistake about her aggressive tone. She had decades of experience sharpening her teeth to make sure each word sliced her enemies to shred.
