Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip of it slowly, Eva opened her mouth and said, "Not really. The key is to see how he is changing."
With a sigh, Essie said, "Actually, your Vinton is a good boy. He is just spoiled by Elizabeth."
"What's wrong with her mother? She is totally ruining him, not spoiled him." Eva pouted, "I had talked to Vinton before. He said that his mother taught him how to enjoy and play when he was young. She also said that he didn't need to study hard and didn't need to work hard. His father had money, enough to allow him to play with for a lifetime. What kind of mother in the world is educating her son like this, unless the child is not her biological son?"
"Not her biological son?" Essie smiled as she asked in a careless tone, "Why do you say that?"
"Last year, I shoot an imperial-harem competing play in which an Imperial Noble Consort secretly took the son of an commoner into the palace so that she could change her princess into
a prince. She did that in order to fight with the Empress. She told a lie that she had got a princess. Later, that princess was appointed as the crown prince, and became the emperor, and the Imperial Noble Concubine became the Empress. In order to take over the state and control the little emperor, she cultivated him into an ignorant and incompetent leader who only knew eating and playing, fooling around with concubines all day long." Eva said as if it were real.
Then, an indescribable deep look appeared on Essie face. She continued, "I think the content suits quite well on your little Vinton." She said half jokingly.
Lucy, who was standing not far away from them, waved her hand and said, "Vinton is indeed the child of the Xu family. When Elizabeth brought the two children into the house, she had a paternity test. Besides, Vinton resembles his father very much, so I can tell at first sight that he is his son."
"That's so strange." Eva shrugged.
"Perhaps it was because at that time Vinton was the only child of Baron. She might think that no matter how they indulged him, Baron would hand over the assets of the Xu family to him sooner or later. He thought there was no need for them to discipline him." Lucy sneered.
Eva nodded and thought what she said was reasonable.
Essie smiled and said, "Eva, it seems that Vinton trusts you very much. He even told you what happened when he was a child."
"Vinton and I get along with each other like brothers. In fact, it is good for us to get along with each other like brothers even if we can't be lovers." Eva grinned.
"He changed so much for you. It is not easy. Just give him a chance." Essie said, patting her on the shoulder.
Eva pretended to be angry and glance at her, "You are really my little sister and brother! How could you put in a good word for him like this?"
"If you became my sister-in-law, we could be even closer." Essie smiled again.
The Little New Year was coming soon. Essie took Holy to the hospital to visit Baron first, and then they went to the Xu family's manor.
In the eyes of Elizabeth and her daughter, they were the most unwelcome guests. When she heard the news that Essie was also Cathy, which really sent a chill down her spine. Valery almost fainted. No wonder she always oppose her, no wonder she couldn't defeat her. It turned out that she was her natural enemy, Cathy!
It had been eighteen years since Essie's last time here.
Although it had been eighteen years, it became the home of someone else. The decoration of this house still didn't change much. It was the same as when she left. It seemed that the owner here wanted to keep something, but what was lost would never come back.
"Grandma." Holy jumped into his grandmother's arms.
"Good boy." Vicki stroked his head. She looked much older than before after a series of unforeseen events.
"Mrs. Xu, please take care of yourself," Essie said.
Vicki let out a heavy sigh and went on, "Your father hasn't woken up yet. We don't know where Alice is now. The Xu family is going to have a difficult new year this year."
"We went to see Mr. Xu this morning. He is in good condition. You don't have to worry too much. Two days later, uncle Eric and uncle Calvin will come back. Then the manor will be full of excitement," Essie tried to comfort her.
Vicki nodded her head. She turned to look at Holy and smiled, "My baby grandson is getting taller. You will soon surpass grandma."
"Mother and uncle are really good at cooking. I eat a lot every day, so I'm taller," Holy said with a smile.
The smile on Vicki's face froze. Knowing that the person he referred to was Luce, she sighed in her heart inevitably. "It will be great if she doesn't take revenge." She muttered to herself in a low voice as if she was just talking to herself.
