Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 153

Mary pursed her lips and said, "No matter what you say, she is still liable for Valery's cold, so it is her duty to stay and take care of Valery."

Zac's eyes flashed angrily again. "Mommy, I'm not expecting you to be fair to everyone, but please, at least don't lose the ability to tell right from wrong." With that, he lifted Essie up and carried her out of the room.

"Zac!" Mary was outraged. She thought of what Elizabeth said about how those women who wanted to outlive their husbands all possessed the charm to bewitch their husbands. Now, her son was in such a situation. It was horrible.

Zac came back to their bedroom and laid Essie on the bed. His eyes were full of love.

"You idiot, don't do such a silly thing again. What if you also catch a cold?"

"I'm fine. I can take some medicine if I catch a cold." She smiled lightly, "Don't you care about that child? I had to protect him for you."

"I care about you more. You need to take care of yourself properly." His voice was like a gentle night breeze, and his gaze was so tender that the tenderness almost seemed to flow from his eyes.

Hearing Zac's words, Essie felt like a droplet of water had fallen on the peaceful lake that was her heart and caused numerous ripples.

'He cares about me?

Why does he care about me?'

she asked herself in her heart. Then she realized something and smiled with self-mockery.

Of course he cared about her. Without her, who would be his cannon fodder and Leila's substitute?

Although there were a lot of women on the planet, it wouldn't be easy to find another woman who could be dealt with without worries.

A sad smile quietly appeared on Essie's face, and she buried her head in the pillow so that Zac wouldn't notice it.

The next day, Valery spent the whole day in bed, pouring all her resentment about what happened to her on Essie. It was Essie, after all, who deliberately took a long time to fetch the blanket and umbrella so that she would catch a cold.

She burst into tears in Mary's arms, "Mommy, she must hate me and the baby very much. It is quite obvious that she's always trying to find an opportunity to hurt me and the baby. You see? She also moved in here when she found out that I was moving in."

"It would be strange if she didn't hate you and the baby. From now on, you should be more careful and stay away from her. Don't mention it in front of Zac, either. He will just be unhappy with you. It was a good thing for Zac to come back and live with us anyway. This way, you can spend more time with each other," Mary comforted her while patting her back.

"What's so good about her? Zac is so bewitched by her. And that is not all. Even daddy is on her side. He even asked her to assist you in running the household. How would she even know how to manage a big family like this when she came from an ordinary small family?" Valery sniffed.

"It all depends on her abilities. Let's wait and see." A hint of slyness appeared in Mary's eyes. The more Essie didn't understand, the better it would be. This way, her husband would see that their daughter-in-law was not qualified to be the hostess of the family.

By the time Essie finished shooting the program, it was already evening, and Zac was waiting for her outside the studio. There was no way he was going to let Hanson take her away again.
