There was a meaningful light flashing in Zac's eyes. It was interesting that someone pretended to be Essie and sent him messages.
"Just watch TV." He said lightly. He didn't want to attract her attention. Then Essie put down the bag and turned her eyes to the TV. Seeing that she was watching intently, he felt relieved and picked up his phone. He returned a Wechat message, "what book are you reading?"
"It's a novel about a child. Her Mommy and daddy had divorced when the child was still in her mommy's belly. She grew up abroad and has never seen her father. Her father doesn't know he has a child himself. Don't you think this child is very miserable? "
Zac's heart trembled. "Her father is more miserable."
"Do you think her father will be happy if he knows that he has a child?"
"I suppose so." After replying, Zac cast a glance at Essie and asked, "stupid woman, who lives with you now?"
"My brother, and Pana, what's wrong?" She didn't dare to tell him about her parents living with her children, because she was afraid that he would come to see her children unexpectedly. Dot resembled him so much that she couldn't find an excuse to say they were not father and son.
"Is your brother suffering from delusional disorder?" He frowned. Needless to say, the person who pretended to be Essie and chat with him through Wechat must be the naughty Holy.
"It's quite normal for children to fantasize." She replied with understatement.
"Does he still like to pretend to be someone else?"
"Haven't you played a pirate and chieftain when you were young?" Hearing that, Essie rolled her eyes at him, feeling that he was asking a very weird question. It was on his back that he had been hit. Why did he feel that his brain became more and more weird? He not only forgot her, but also blamed her brother.
"Only a person like you, whose mind is racing wildly, will do such a boring thing." He glared at her and turned to the phone, ignoring her. Since Holy wanted to play, Zac would play with him as much as possible. After all, he was bored at the moment and had nothing to do.
"Are you dozing off?" Another message came in since he didn't reply for a long time.
"I'm doing something very important." He sent him a smiling Emoji.
"What is it?"
"Beat the disobedient kid."
"Do you have a child?"
"Yes, a boy."
The phone was silent for a while, and then came a series of surprising expressions. "Do you married another woman?"
Zac swallowed. This little punk was so smart that he didn't even know that his lie was revealed. "I used all my strength to deal with those disobedient children. I will hit their butts." Instead of answering some questions, he changed to a threatening tone.
"It's wrong to hit your own kid." A message from Holy.
"Naughty kids! They get beaten if they don't listen to their mommy, especially those who stay up late at night." Zac replied with a big Emoji of beating butts.
He didn't get any response. Maybe Holy was too scared to speak one more word. Children were just children. He would be frightened and didn't dare to make more trouble after being threatened.
Zac smiled and put the phone on the bedside table. When Essie saw that he was going to sleep, she turned off the TV and began to make her folded bed.
"You want to sleep in this room tonight?" Zac frowned.
"Yes. What if you want to drink water or want to go to the bathroom and I don't hear you?" Essie put the pillow on the bed.
"As you like." Zac said coldly and went to sleep. Anyway, it was not him who felt uncomfortable.
In the next few days, Leila came here every day. It seemed that she was encouraged by Mary. Mary didn't like Essie. She hoped that her daughter-in-law was Leila, not Essie. She encouraged Leila not to give up and to win Zac back as soon as possible It was like cheering her up, which made her combat effectiveness and self-confidence a hundred times stronger.
This was a good chance for Leila to get into the marriage by taking advantage of his memory loss. She wanted to maintain this marriage, but he was always against her. He ignored her or teased her. It seemed that in his heart, Essie was just a maid for him, not his wife at all.
In the afternoon, Essie pushed him to walk on the grass while Leila told jokes to him aside, completely ignoring Essie, his original wife as if she was his wife.
A little annoyed, Essie decided to snatch the topic. "Ice house, it's almost new year's Eve. I heard that on that day, you will set fireworks by the lake in Rong Mansion. It must be very beautiful."
"Do you want to come and see?" Said Zac, taking a slight glance at her.
"I'm your wife. I have every reason to visit there." She pouted and thought that she had promised to have a new year's Eve dinner with Alena.
