Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 307

Zac was keenly aware of her abnormality. "You look so nervous even before I said it. Are you hiding many secrets from me?" His sharp and deep eyes seemed to remind her of leniency to confess and severity to resist.

"Well... Actually... " She hesitated for a while, wondering how to explain the matter about Mili and Dot to muddle through. Suddenly, an electric light flashed through her mind. No, if it was about Mili and Dot, Zac would have been furious and killed her at the first place, how he could sit beside her calmly and talk to her slowly?

With these thoughts in her mind, she coughed a few times and pretended to be confused. "What kind of gossip would I have?"

"It's about you and father-in-law." At the moment, Zac took a sip of his coffee and said, "Finney said that father-in-law was not your biological father." He believed that since even Finney knew about it, there was no need to hide anymore the secret of her origin. As the son-in-law of the Yi family and her husband, he should have a frank conversation with her.

Upon hearing that, Essie choked fiercely. She thought that Finney was always a woman of few words and deeds, but now she had a big mouth?

"So what? In my heart, he is my real father, my only real father," she said stoutly and firmly that her father loved her so much. She was grateful, and she also grateful to Bob. He helped her regain the father's love and give her a complete family.

"I didn't mean anything else. I know you have a good relationship with father-in-law. I just want to know more about you," Zac explained.

"I don't want to talk about this kind of thing about my father. You just need to know that my father is called Bob, and I love him very much. That's enough." Raising her voice, she seemed a little agitated.

Her displeasure was clearly written all over her face. Zac quickly ended this topic. "I'm sorry. Just forget what I said." Now that it was a scar in her memory that he did not want to touch, he could not touch it again. Otherwise, it would hurt her.

She pursed her lips and her expression became more gentle. "Today is Saturday. Are you going to pick up Rabi?"

Zac nodded. "I want to take you and Rabi to a place."

He looked mysterious, so she didn't ask more. She just didn't expect the place he took her and Rabi to was a graveyard. No wonder he wanted to buy lily flowers.

"Why do you take us here?" She held Rabi tightly for fear that the place would freak him out.

"About Rabi, I still owe you an explanation, so I tell you everything today." Zac said in a low and deep voice.

It was too quiet here. Scared, Rabi buried her head into Essie's arms. Hearing what he had said, Essie could feel waves surging in her heart. Although it was no longer as important as it was before, she still wanted to know why he had to protect the child at all costs.

Zac walked to a tombstone and stopped. He put a bouquet of flowers on it and said, "Leo, I take Rabi here to visit you."

After a short pause, Essie said, "He..."

"His name is Leo. He is my best friend and Rabi's biological father." Zac said slowly, "Leo was a child of a servant in our family. After the servant died, he became an orphan. There was no one to depend on. My dad adopted him and let him go to school and play with me. We are closer than blood brothers. Leo had saved me twice. The first time was when I was five years old, I fell into a lake and he jumped in and saved me. The second time, I was assassinated and Leo protected me, but he left."

Hearing that, a shiver rose in Essie's heart. She hadn't expected that the situation would be like this. "Since the child's father is Leo, how could Valery think it is yours?" she asked.

"At that time, I was invited to Paris to attend an architectural show. Unexpectedly, Valery came with me. She brought the wine to my room, thinking that I could marry her in this way. In order not to let the cat out of the bag, she also drank the wine. Unfortunately, I already noticed her conspiracy. So I didn't drink at all. Leo went to the room, and that's why she mistakenly believed it was me."

Taking a pause, Zac said, "The baby in Valery's belly is the only flesh and blood of Leo in the world. I must protect it at all cost. It's not that I don't trust you. I just can't take any risk. If Valery knows that the child is not mine, she will definitely have an abortion."

"I know. If I were you, I would do the same." Hearing that, she was relieved. "I believe that brother Leo will watch Rabi from the heaven and protect him to grow up healthily."

"He will. When Rabi grows up and becomes sensible, I'll tell him about it." Taking Rabi from her arms, Zac kissed his little face affectionately. "I have to train him to be my successor, taking charge of the Emperor."

"Okay, I'm on your side." With a slight smile on her face, Essie said. In her heart, she had already taken Rabi as her own child.

On their way back to the hospital, Rabi was sleeping in her arms. Gently caressing his cheek, she raised her head to take a look at Zac and asked, "Why were you assassinated?"

There must be a lot of enemies in the world for people who are cold-blooded, ruthless and decisive as Zac.
