Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 43

The next day, when Lucy and Bob came to visit Essie, she was still fast asleep. She was woken up by the doorbell ringing, so she went to open the door groggily and went back to lie on the bed.

Lucy looked around and asked, "Where is Zac?"

"Asleep in his room," she replied in a daze. After getting off the Ferris wheel, they went to see a movie and didn't come home until midnight.

"I just saw that he isn't in the room. He must be out." Lucy paused and added casually, "You two didn't sleep together?"

Upon hearing Lucy's words, Essie became wide awake, scared. While she was thinking about how to answer, she suddenly heard Bob's voice. "You didn't have a fight with Zac, did you?" he asked.

"No, we are completely fine." Essie quickly came up with an excuse. "I don't really sleep well at night. I either snatch the quilt from him or kick him out of the bed. Because of that, he can't sleep well beside me and it has affected his work. So we decided to sleep separately on most days. We sleep together on weekends."

Hearing her explanation, Lucy looked at her and mumbled, "Essie, since you two are living with each other, it is more or less inevitable to have some conflicts between the two of you, but you have to overcome that. Sleeping in different beds will have an emotional impact on both of you." She said that sincerely.

"I know, mom!" It was so embarrassing for her to discuss this topic with her mother. Luckily for her, her mother didn't live in there, otherwise, she would probably force them to sleep in the same room.

Lucy didn't say anything more. After all, she had only come to invite Essie and Zac to have dinner with Essie's aunt.

"Call Zac right now to see if he has time."

"Okay." Essie nodded and took up the phone from the bedside table. Just as she was about to make the call, she heard the door open. It was Zac. He came in with breakfast in his hands.

When he saw his mother-in-law and father-in-law, he quickly put down the things in his hands and went to pour them some tea, "Uncle, aunt, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, we have." Lucy smiled and winked at his husband. Bob took the hint and coughed. "We are a family now. Can you change the way you call us?" he said.

Zac was very happy to hear that they had finally accepted him as their son-in-law!

"Dad, mom!" He immediately corrected himself.

Essie glanced at her mother and father by her side, and she felt a mixture of both joy and sadness. She was happy that they didn't get mad at her for "acting first and reporting afterwards", and at the same time, she was worried about how she would face them when they got divorced in the future.

Zac seemed to have read her mind and gave her a mysterious smile.

After they left the apartment, Zac drove his car to a shopping mall first. He bought two bottles of French wine and a fruit basket. Etiquette was always very important to Chinese people. Since it was the first time he, the son-in-law, was going to visit his wife's relatives, it would be inappropriate for him to come empty-handed.

Bob and Lucy looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. It made them happy to see that their son-in-law was thoughtful and sensible.

The moment they arrived at the Harkin Palace, they immediately heard Essie's excited voice. "Wow! What a beautiful house! Did you rent or buy it?"

"Of course we bought it. It's a 100 square-meter apartment. It cost more than 700 million dollars, and we paid it in full," Essie's aunt Wendy said. She wanted to show off her daughter's wedding room, so she decided to cook their meal by herself instead of going to a restaurant.
