Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 186

Essie simply sat on the table, and with nothing else to do, so she stared at the two beautiful men sitting in front of her admiringly.

She had to admit that the two did not look like twins at all.

Zac had a strikingly handsome face, a combination of both his parent's essence and strengths. Besides that, he was born with an exceptional aura and an alluring charm. However, Walt's good-looking appearance seemed to only be inherited from the Rong family and did not seem to have any of Mary's genes.

There was a saying that a mother can have nine children and they would all turn out differently.

This saying sounded reasonable in this case.

While Essie was sitting blankly, lost in her thoughts, Mary and Valery walked in.

Walt was not surprised to find Valery there as he had already known that she moved in the mansion while he was still in the United States.

What he couldn't fathom was the fact that Essie seemed to tolerate her existence. Living with Valery must be such a daunting experience for her. He wondered quietly if it was because she loved Zac so much she would sacrifice such a thing.

When Albert and the other finally arrived, they started to eat.

When they started eating, Walt picked up a pigeon and placed it on Mary's plate. Zac followed by picking a pigeon for Essie, however, this bothered her so she picked up a pigeon and placed it on Albert's plate.

Mary deliberately released a deep sigh and said, "Walt is considerate enough to take care of his own mother first. Zac, ever since you got married, you seem to have forgotten all about your mother."

Albert cast a glance at Mary for a while and finally said, "Just as you say, even our daughter-in-law is more obedient and filial towards this old man than my own two sons."

When Valery heard this, she curled her lips and thought, 'Filial? It seems more like she's just buttering him up.' In Valery's perception, since Albert was partial and supported Essie, she was doing this only trying her best to please him.

Mary placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "Valery is also a filial daughter-in-law. She only couldn't move as fast because of her pregnancy. Otherwise, she would have picked it up for you even earlier."

"Yes Daddy, I've always been filial towards you," Valery annoyingly intruded.

"Okay, I was only joking. Let's eat," said Albert in a cold tone, without even taking a look at Valery.

Walt was keenly aware that his father was on Essie's side. As expected though, his mother was clearly not satisfied with her and thought the ideal daughter-in-law would be Valery.

As for Zac, he completely ignored Mary's words and just continued to place food on his wife's plate. He asked a lot from her the night before, so he knew that today he certainly had to feed her well so she could replenish her energy.

During dinner, Albert placed down his chopsticks carefully and announced in a low, stern voice, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in two months. Since the two elders will arrive back from Switzerland by next month, everyone needs to prepare everything earlier."
