Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 346

Taking a sip of tea, Bob said slowly, "it's hard for Essie to bear such a heavy burden of Xu family. You must support her more."

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll pick it up for her." Holding Essie's hands, Zac said it as a vow.

"Have you caught the man who wanted to kill Essie last time?" Asked Lucy, whose heart trembled with fear at the thought of that incident.

"Yes, he was killed." Zac said understatedly.

"God damn it!" Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. People who hold a candle to the devil deserve death.

"Have you found out who killed him?" Frowning, Essie wanted to know whether he was her friend or enemy.

"He was shot to death with one shot, and the method was clean and neat, leaving no trace. This person is definitely not someone ordinary. It's impossible to find him in a short time." Said Zac, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is the man who wanted to kill Essie on our side?" Holy blinked his big black eyes.

"It's hard to say. Maybe they are on revenge." Zac touched his chin and said thoughtfully. 'it doesn't matter who he is. It's okay as long as he is not your enemy. Otherwise, the stupid woman will be in greater danger. He has no time to be her bodyguard all day long.'

"The killer must be hired by Elizabeth, who is heartless and merciless to do any illegal things."

Lucy wanted to skin her, pull out her tendons and drink her blood to vent her anger.

"Don't worry. I will protect Essie. No one can hurt her as long as I am here. Take care of yourself." As long as she was still his woman, no one dared to hurt her. If someone wanted to hurt her, he was looking for death.

Bob and Lucy nodded. What they needed was his promise. After all, Hanson was in Yang City and could not get involved in the power of Dragon City. They had to depend on Zac now.

After that, Lucy went to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and Bob was helping. Zac wandered around in the villa and walked into Essie's room. He stared at a Barbie doll by the bed and asked, "is it yours?"

"So what?" She took the doll to him. She had locked the door of the children's room and packed up all the toys in case of his suspicion. Unexpectedly, there was still something missed. It must be Mili who left it at the time when she played.

"Do you still like to play it?" Zac sneered, raising his eyebrows.

The words sounded a little strange to her, and she couldn't help but wonder, 'what does he mean by saying that she still likes to play it? Did she like playing it before?'

"Who says that only children can play the Barbie doll. Adults can also like it."

"Yeah, a freak." Zac flicked her forehead and grabbed the doll from her hand. He looked at it, shook his head and said, "this one is too ordinary. It's not as interesting as the one you gave me."

Essie was shocked and asked, "when did I ever give you a Barbie doll?"

"When you were Cathy." Zac said in a teasing tone. "It's your tailor-made. You give it to me as a token of love."

With hands on her forehead, she couldn't believe that she had done such a thing. "Why have I never heard you talk about this?" she asked.

"I almost forget the trifles more than a decade ago. I didn't remember it until I saw this doll today." Zac shrugged and said in a careless tone.

"What about my doll?" She curled her lips and felt a little disappointed.

"I don't know where they have gone. Maybe they have been thrown into the trash can." Said Zac in a casual way. It seemed that he didn't take it to heart at all.

Essie was furious. It was her tailor-made version, how memorable it was! It was a waste to him.

She grabbed the doll from his hand and demanded, "from now on, stay away from my Barbie."

"I'm not interested in such a childish thing." Lying on the back of the sofa and putting his hands on the back of his head, Zac sneered. After a short silence, he seemed to think of something, and his deep cold eyes flashed. "Oh, right. I forgot to ask you one thing. Your mother is aunt Luce, the woman who had been Mrs. Luce in the past, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Essie rolled her eyes at him.

"But she is so different from what she used to be. I think she is pretty even at an old age." He rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
