"Leila, I can promise you anything else, except this one. If you really can't stand it, divorce me. " His voice was soft like a breeze, but it blew the storm in Leila's heart.
She couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear that there were other women around him. They were a great threat to her, and at any time, she could be pushed down from the position of Mrs. Rong. However, it was impossible for her to divorce. She would rather die in this position than be replaced by anyone.
"Brother Zac, I... I can learn, and I can slowly learn to accept it. I... I will try my best. " She gritted her teeth and squeezed the words hard and bitterly. She could pretend not to care about others, but in fact, she would not care about others. Whoever dared to threaten her position, she would kill her directly.
There was a cynical smile on the corners of his mouth. This woman used to have a beautiful face, but now in his eyes, it was just like the rotten meat on a dead body. Even just one look would make him sick.
At night, he gave her a sleeping pill, after she fell asleep, he went out and left the rest to Ford.
In the Chateau Bordeaux, Essie didn't expect that Zac would come here either. After making Mili fall asleep, she went to the bathroom.
After playing a soothing music, she lied in the bathtub.
The turbine sprinkler spat out the water, raising the turbulent waves. Her messy mood was washed away, washing away her tiredness.
She felt extremely comfortable and was about to sleep with her eyes closed. Suddenly, a big hand stretched out from the water.
She shivered and her pores almost stood up. She opened her eyes suddenly and let out a scream of horror which was stopped by her lips.
She struggled and pushed him away. "Zac, are you a ghost or a person? How did you get in here?" She roared as she was ashamed and angry.
"Let me go!"
"I'll let you go, but not now." His eyes blazed with fire of...
After a few hours, Essie calmed down. She opened her mouth slowly and said, "Leila Qin is here. How dare you come?"
"Don't worry. She will stay with Ford all the time and won't leave the villa in half a minute." Hands crossed, Zac said in a lazy and careless tone, with his head resting on his hands.
A hint of bewilderment flashed across her eyes. She was getting more and more puzzled about what the fiend was thinking. He was strongly possessive about the universe, how could he push his beloved woman to others? Was it because they had been in a spiritual relationship with each other, the lack of possessiveness?
She shook her head and felt that she must have thought too much. Since he had recovered from his hidden disease, he didn't need to play spiritual love with Leila anymore.
The big devil's mind was always unfathomable. She could never guess it with her intelligence, so she'd better not ask for trouble.
Looking at her, Zac keenly captured her complex and entangled expression. He stretched out his hand and gently flicked her forehead. "Are you woolgathering again?"
"No, I didn't." She tried to hide her nervousness. Two big black eyeballs rolled two times, showing a little light. "Well... I'm inviting Mrs. Rose and Irene to our villa tomorrow. Courtesy demands reciprocity. " She was good at finding excuses to hide her guilt.
"You are the hostess and it's up to you." Zac flashed a smile. Before leaving, he didn't have to go to the villa to spend more time with his wife and daughter.
The next day, after receiving the call, Mrs. Rose drove here with her daughter, Irene.
Essie had prepared a hearty lunch for them. She wanted to have Mrs. Rose and Irene taste the authentic Chinese food.
"Wow, it looks delicious. Mrs. Rong, you are so good at cooking." Irene gave a thumbs up with admiration.
"I haven't had Chinese food for a long time, I really miss it," she said.
"Yeah. Since grandma suffering from Alzheimer's disease, no one has cooked Chinese food for us." Irene pouted. A trace of depression flashed across her eyes.
Mili looked at them and smiled. "Grandma, Aunt Irene, my mommy is very good at cooking, even better than the cooks in the restaurant." She never forgot to praise her mother in front of outsiders.
"I'm afraid that you can't eat spicy food, so I've made the dishes with a light taste," Essie said with smiles on her face. She served Mrs. Rose and Irene each a bowl of coconut bone soup.
Irene tasted it and nodded slightly. "It's delicious. It's said that if a woman wants to tie up a man, she has to first tie up a man's stomach. Is it because Mr. Rong loves the cooking skills of Mrs. Rong first, and then fall in love with her later?"
