"I asked them to go down and search, but they didn't find any corpses. It doesn't matter if that kind of little guy is alive or dead." Zac said casually.
Essie had another thought in her mind. If Eve was still alive, she might know what had happened that night.
No matter what happened, she wanted to know the truth. She didn't want to be muddled, nor did she want to bear unnecessary stains and criticism.
In the afternoon, Mary called them and asked them to go back to the house of Rong family to discuss the wedding.
"Zac, your wedding day is coming. I shouldn't have splashed cold water on you. But it's really not appropriate to hold a wedding in such a situation."
"Why not?" Zac frowned.
"Now there are a lot of gossips about Essie. We believe in the innocence of Essie and the baby's identity, but people outside don't think so. If those guests come to the wedding, it is inevitable that they will talk about it in private. Wedding is a celebration. It's not good for you and Essie to be looked at differently by the guests. Now the only thing that could stop them from talking about was the paternity test. As long as the paternity test was carried out at that time, it would prove that Essie was innocent. No one dared to gossip about it. So I think we'd better hold the wedding after the baby is born and let Essie be a happy bride. "
Mary said earnestly. It seemed that she cared about Essie very much for the sake of their marriage, but in fact, she was scheming. She was sure that the baby in Essie's belly was the child of that bastard. If the paternity test came out, it would be strange if Abel and Alena could accept it. At that time, they would kick Essie out of the family, in case she would not destroy the reputation of the family.
"Mommy, I don't care what others say. The wedding must be held as schedule." Said Zac firmly.
A gleam flashed through Mary's eyes. Her son was always so disobedient that he would never accept her advice.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Do you want the guests to look at Essie differently when she wears the wedding dress and walks into the wedding hall?"
"If we cancel the wedding, others will think about it." Said Zac.
"Essie is pregnant. Isn't it normal to postpone the wedding?" Mary frowned, dissatisfied with her son's disobedience.
Sitting next to him, Essie didn't say anything. Anyway, Zac had said that he would decide everything. He could do whatever he wanted.
Seeing her son's firm expression, Mary turned to her husband for help, hoping that he could persuade her son. However, in Albert's opinion, the wedding was just a matter of form and could not change anything.
"The wedding is theirs. It's up to them. Besides, Zac and Essie have been married for more than three years. It's time for the wedding."
Hearing this, Mary was secretly annoyed. The father and son are always on the same side, and neither of them had been on her side.
She really couldn't figure out what was good about Essie. Her son didn't mind such a shameful thing. He was simply spiraled into madness and was controlled by Essie.
On the weekend, as the bridesmaid, Eva rushed back from Hengdian to try on the dress. Jim was also there. He was the best man of Zac.
Eva was unwilling to be his side, but they were enemies and could bump into each other no matter what happened.
When she walked out in the bridesmaid's dress, an indescribable look flashed across Jim's eyes. Eva thought he was contemptuous of her. In his eyes, she was an ordinary woman with ordinary facial features, ordinary figure, ordinary skin and ordinary hair quality. All in all, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, he didn't think there is any part of her he could admire.
She was used to it. Her biggest advantage was that she was natural and pollution-free, one hundred times better than the artificial beauties he had dated.
To be honest, she also wanted to pick some problems on him, but she couldn't find any flaws in his body.
This guy had perfect facial features and perfect figure. Every move of him exuded a noble and elegant temperament. He was just a piece of art refined by a God, making it difficult for her to find a weakness in him.
A handsome man was a trap and would bring disaster to women.
It was said that the women dumped by him were all very miserable. They either suffered from depression, or committed suicide for love. They were so stupid to hurt themselves for a man.
They should play love games like her and treat men as clothes. If they got tired of him, they could change into a new one.
In fact, Jim just glanced at her and then looked away. She was not his dish and he was not interested in looking at her. However, since last cooperation, he found that some part of the heaven pepper had grown a lot of meat. It was estimated that it had been C size.
