Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 409

Zac didn't sleep for almost a night. He was anxious and worried. He was afraid that Essie would surrender to Lucy.

Early the next morning, he went back to the Rong Mansion and wanted to ask Mary what kind of feud was there between her and Lucy.

Hearing Zac's question, Mary's face turned pale. "You and Essie have already divorced. Why do you still interfere with the affairs of the Xu family? "

"Divorced. I don't want to be treated as an enemy of them either, and the hatred is all because of you." Said Zac in a mild tone as much as he could.

"Did Essie say something to you?"

"No, she didn't. her mother used to have a good impression on me, but her attitude towards me has completely changed since she knew that I am your son. I really want to know if there are any misunderstandings between you two." Zac poured her a cup of tea.

"I just met her for a few times. We are not familiar with each other and there won't be any misunderstanding. You have nothing to do with Essie now, and you don't need to pay attention to Lucy. Both of them are evil women. You'd better keep a distance from them in the future. " Said Mary sourly. Every time she thought of Lucy, her disgust for her grew deeper.

"Lucy is the dignified and rightful wife of Xu family, not the other woman who took the chance to go up. How could you call her a tramp?" A sharp light flashed in his eyes. From his mother's words, he knew that she was lying. Something must have happened between her and Lucy in that year.

Mary realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. She immediately explained, "I was just saying it. I don't really mean it."

Taking a sip of tea, Zac lowered his voice. "Did you help Elizabeth to get the position back then?"

The corners of Mary's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She tried her best to keep calm, but was carefully observed by the sharp eyes of Zac. He said, "it seems that I'm right. Mommy, after so many years, have you never felt guilty?"

There was a bit of blame in his tone. From her attitude towards both Essie, he could tell that she had never reflected on what she had done. If her mother felt regretful and apologized to Lucy, perhaps the resentment between them would be alleviated.

Mary was infuriated by her son's words. She snapped at him, "you speak for an outsider, are you still my son?"

"I only help the one who is right. But you helped the mistress to break up their happy family. Do you want me to admire you?" Zac was very disappointed at her. He didn't expect his mother to be such an unreasonable woman. Yesterday, when Lucy attacked her, he felt very uncomfortable. She was his mother and no one could insult her.

But now, seeing her attitude, he could understand how Lucy felt. How could a person who did something wrong without any regret be abominable and accepted by others?

Mary's face turned ghastly pale, but she could not tell the truth. She could only try her best to control her anger and play cool with her son. "You were too young to understand what happened that year. After all, Elizabeth is my best friend. I helped her just because I saw she was bullied by Lucy and I felt pity for Elizabeth, so I helped her. You don't know. Back then, Lucy was too aggressive and tried to kill Elizabeth and her children. If I didn't help them, how could they live till today? "

"How could it be? As far as I'm concerned, she is a pure and kind-hearted woman. How could she harm Elizabeth? " Zac couldn't believe it.

"You know one's face, not his heart. Let me tell you. That Lucy is a sinister and ruthless woman! She was the wife of the Xu family, powerful and influential. At that time, Elizabeth was a poor white-collar worker. It was a piece of cake for Lucy to kill her, because she didn't even have the ability to protect herself, let alone protect her two children. I'm the only person she can rely on in Dragon City. If I don't help her, who else can? "

Seeing her son's eyes soften, Mary knew that he believed her, so she continued, "in fact, I didn't do anything wrong. I just gave them some material help, and I also stopped Lucy from hurting them. So I don't think I did anything wrong on this matter. If they hate me, I can only say that they are narrow-minded."

Zac didn't say anything. No matter what, he hoped that his mother didn't meddle in this too much. What she did was only to provide kind help to Elizabeth.

Now that he had made it clear to it, he thought it was necessary to explain to Essie. He didn't want them to misunderstand his mother.

It was Lucy that allowed Essie to visit him. Lucy agreed her daughter to say goodbye to Zac. They had to make it clear to each other, otherwise he would keep pestering her.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come out." At the sight of Essie, Zac felt relieved. But it was too early for him to let out a sigh of relief.

A hint of extreme pain swept across her eyes. She didn't want him to see it, so she lowered her head, hiding the weakness in her eyes with thick eyelashes. "This is the last time we meet," she said. She said in a low voice.

Zac's stomach twitched violently. He raised his hand and grabbed her shoulder. "Take me to see your mother. Let me explain to her."

"What do you want to explain? Explain why you want to divorce me? Why did you marry Leila? " Her voice trembled in despair.

Zac's internal organs were twisting into a ball in an instant. One of the heavy burden in his life was to endure misunderstanding, but he could not explain.

He clenched his fingers and smashed his fist on the wall. "You compromised?"

"My mother has suffered a lot. When I left the Xu family, I swore that I would be good to her when I grew up and would listen to her all the time so as not to piss her off. I will be happy as long as she is happy. If I choose to be with you only to hurt her, then I have to leave you. "

Tears fell down from her eyes, which scalded his heart. Their relationship was so fragile and vulnerable that she always gave up. Even if she just met a small setback, she would retreat.
