Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 484

"You remember me clearly. It seems that you are very interested in my business." Zac's handsome face approached. His warm breath gently spread over her face, as if indirectly flirting her.

Her face was flushed. "I... I have a good memory. "

"No, I didn't see it." His beautiful thick eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of mockery in his tone. As far as he could remember, she seldom remembered his matters clearly. Otherwise, she would not have always disobeyed his order, which made him very angry.

Essie pouted. In his eyes, what she had done was silly. Of course, he wouldn't notice it.

"I just don't want to interrupt your honeymoon trip," she muttered. The bitter taste spread from the tip of her tongue to her internal organs. The thought that he and Leila were going to spend their honeymoon made her feel terrible.

"You won't affect us after I get everything done." A weird smile flitted across the corner of his mouth, which made Essie feel frightened. He looked mysterious, as if he had hidden some secret. No one could figure out what was on his mind.

It was time for lunch.

At the dinner table, Mary changed her usual cold face and wore an amiable, happy smile.

"I know that Essie likes spicy crabs, so I ordered the chef to cook them for her." She smiled.

"Thank you, auntie." Feeling flattered, Essie wondered what trick Mary was playing. It was not long after she had warned her fiercely in the morning, but she changed her attitude so soon. How weird that she could be so kind.

"I have thought it over carefully. Since our Rong family is a great one, we should get along with each other harmoniously. Since Essie has not been engaged to others, she is the granddaughter in law of the Rong family. If she gets on well with Leila in the future, taking care of Zac with her is also a good thing. As his mother, I can do nothing to stop him as long as he wants. I will be happy if he is happy," Mary said in a gentle voice, like a bead slowly swaying down the slope.

"It's good that you think so." The old lady nodded.

"Essie, here, have some crabs." Mary asked Essie to eat her favorite food. She served her with a piece of big crab meat.

"Thank you, auntie." Looking at her sweet smile, Essie somehow felt scared.

"Since you are still the granddaughter in law of the Rong family, you can just call me Mommy as before, if you call me auntie will treat me as an outsider." Mary smiled.

"Okay, Mommy." Essie acted docilely and obediently.

"I knew Mommy would come around. You are the most sensible," Zac said as he picked up a dove to his mother.

"You are my son. I do everything for your own good," Mary said with a smile.

"Essie and I will take good care of you," Zac said obsequiously. It could be said that his mother's hindrance was removed, which had solved a major obstacle in his heart.

But no one noticed the malicious and insidious behind her smile.

After coming out of the study, she forced herself to calm down and carefully analyzed the situation.

If she continued to deal with Essie with a tough knife, she would be isolated in the Rong Mansion. Not only did her two sons dislike her, but the two elders of the Rong family and Albert would be very dissatisfied with her. If she ended up in a situation where everyone was heartbroken, and it was Essie who would win at last.

And her secret had been discovered by her son, and her image in her son's heart had been badly damaged. If she continued to be tough, it was likely that their maternal and child's relationship would be broken. The most important thing was that if she pushed Essie too hard and made the news out of thin air, it would be impossible for Albert to leave her alone.

She pondered on Essie's character. She was a person who was open to persuasion but not to coercion. The more she coerce her, the more uncompromising she was. Therefore, she couldn't be attacked by a sharp knife, and only a soft knife could easily pierce into her dead spot.

Seemingly kind to her, she cooperated with Leila to deal with her. In this way, she not only kept her secret, but also maintained a good image in front of her families and son. It would be unfilial for Essie to make a fuss with her again.

While she was thinking, the voice of the old lady came, "Where is Walt? Why didn't he come over for lunch?"

"He bumped on his face by accident just now, and it still hurts. He said he can't come down to eat. I've asked the servant to bring him the food," Mary said.

"How can he still act like a child at such an age." Alena shook her head and stopped asking.

After lunch, Zac took the kids and his grandpa to play chess in the garden, and Essie was admiring the flowers alone.

Walking in front of the tulip palace, they met Walt who was coming her way.

"Brother," Essie said hello to him in a low voice. She was a little uneasy when she thought of what Zac had told her. So she turned around, intending to sidestep him.
