It was natural for Albert to be excellent and perfect. Essie had never asked about the past of him and her mother, fearing that her mother would feel uncomfortable. However, since her mother mentioned it today, she would take advantage of it and asked her.
"Mom, you seem to have a good relationship with my father-in-law. Do you know each other because of Mr. Baron or you have known each other for a long time?"
Lucy flipped the hair at the temples of his ears, and an indescribable expression gently swept across her face.
"It was bygone, just let it be." She seemed to avoid talking about it on purpose.
Bob sat next to them with a strange smile on his face. "Your mother used to be the most beautiful girl in the university, and there were countless people chasing after her. Later, with the appearance of Baron and Albert, the two sons of the rich clans, everyone only dared to watch and do nothing."
With a smile, Essie held her father's arm and said, "Dad, don't you dare to do nothing but watch?"
Bot smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. Apparently, he acquiesced. He had a crush on Lucy since middle school. In order to be with her, he deliberately filled in the same school with her when he applied for the college entrance examination. He had thought that he would have a chance, but he didn't expect that there would be two men, Baron and Albert, appearing on the way.
Patting him on the shoulder, Essie sighed, "Dad, you really should take action as soon as possible. My mom is not that kind of gold digger."
"All right." Lucy pretended to be annoyed, "You haven't dealt with your own business yet, now you are joking with me."
"Mom, I'm just curious. Since my father-in-law is also pursuing you, why do you choose the indecisive Mr. Baron instead of the wise and decisive father-in-law?" Looking at her mother, Essie thought that if she had chosen Albert, her fate would have undergone a tremendous change.
Lucy didn't answer, but a hint of bitterness flashed through her eyes. Bob reached out his hand and hugged her. "If your father-in-law hadn't gone to America, which allowed Baron to take advantage of it, your mother wouldn't have been with Baron."
"Oh?" Raising her eyebrows, Essie realized that her mother's initial choice was her father-in-law, not Baron?
Lucy picked up a grapes from the fruit plate and put it into Bob's mouth, stopping him from talking about the past.
This was how people were. If they took a wrong path, they would fall into endless pain and be farther and farther away from happiness. That was why she didn't want Essie to follow her steps and end up like her.
Seeing this, Essie shifted the topic to Mary and Lady Rose again.
"Mom, I have been with Lady Rose for a period of time. I think she is very easy-going and kind, completely different from what you said. Is it because she has lost her memory and even changed her personality?"
"Who knows? Nowadays, people always change. We don't know who they are. Some people are good at hiding their true character. Only after you are framed by her will you really see her true face. " Lucy sneered.
Essie agreed with her. Mary was indeed hypocritical. She had a honey tongue and a knife in her mouth. She could pretend to be kind at any time, but in fact, she was more vicious than anyone else.
"No wonder when we first met Lady Rose, Mary didn't want her to be her sister. After seeing the DNA test report, she looked indifferent and didn't feel excited for the reunion. It turned out to be because of this."
"Albert is so perfect. Neither the hypocritical and cunning Mary nor the cruel and merciless Charlotte deserves him." Lucy said angrily.
Essie sighed in her heart. It was impossible to untie her mother's knot, and the grudge between her and Mary would also be difficult to dissolve. After all, it was a permanent regret in her mother's heart that she couldn't give birth to a child for her father. Even if Mary apologized in front of her, it couldn't make up for this regret.
She didn't expect her mother to forgive Mary, because she herself wouldn't forgive her either. She just hoped that she could accept Zac. After all, Mary was Mary, and Zac was Zac. The evils that Mary had done should not be borne by the innocent Zac.
Unfortunately, Lucy didn't like Zac at all. Every time when Zac came over to visit her, she didn't want to see him and only asked Bob to treat him. She refused to accept the gifts brought by Zac.
Zac was annoyed by his mother-in-law's cold attitude. Except for comforting her, Essie didn't know what to say.
Lucy was very kind to Hanson, completely treating him as her own son.
At this moment, she peeled an apple and gave it to him. "Hanson, you should come here more often. No matter what, in my heart, you are my half-son. This is your home."
Hanson nodded, "don't worry, aunt Lucy. I will come to see you as long as I have time."
"Daddy Hanson, are you dating aunt Ivy? Aunt Ivy often mentions you at home. "
Hanson gently pinched her pink face and said, "don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. How could I date her?"
Mili smiled and said. "Daddy Hanson, in fact, aunt Ivy is also a good girl. She is cute and beautiful. If you want to get married one day, you can marry aunt Ivy. Then you will become my uncle. We are still family. "
