After hesitating for a while, Essie put down her phone and said, "Okay, go to bed now." Then she left. She hadn't forgiven Zac yet. She couldn't call him.
Mili was so anxiously! 'I'd better call Daddy myself.'
At this time, Zac and Jim were drinking in the Midnight club to relax.
As soon as the phone was connected, Mili immediately asked, "Daddy, where are you?"
"Chatting with your sworn father," Zac replied with understatement.
Hearing that he was with Jim, Mili breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not a woman, everything would be fine. Besides, according to her father's voice, it was normal and he was not drunk.
While she was silent, Zac asked, "Baby, it's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"Yes, I'm going to sleep, but you didn't come back. Mommy couldn't fall asleep, so she asked me to call you," Mili sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Zac immediately felt relieved. The biggest feature of the muddled-headed fool was that she was stubborn and duplicity. She began to worry about him, but he still couldn't make up with him. Since she wanted to make peace with him through Mili, he would give her a step down and no longer force her to lower her head.
"Tell mommy that I'll be back soon." Zac smiled.
Jim looked at him and joked, "Beauty Yi is now guard against you so much? Has she already begun to check on you?"
"This is not a check on me, but a care." Zac smiled. He just liked that Essie cared about him, nervous about him and was jealous of him.
Jim shook his head and sighed, "A married man is different."
"Are you jealous?" Raising his thick eyebrows slightly, Zac looked complacent.
Jim shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm free and unrestrained. It's good."
"I don't think so." A wicked smile appeared on Zac's face.
The color in Jim's eyes deepened, as if it was dyed by the night outside the window. He took a sip of the cocktail and smiled faintly. "Even if I have a little idea occasionally, I'm infected by your display of affection all day long."
"Hurry up. Don't let your daughter and my son have a generation gap," Zac teased.
"I have to find someone suitable for the sake of this." Jim squinted his charming eyes and smiled wickedly.
For some reason, an image that he shouldn't have thought of flashed through his mind. Heaven pepper? How was that possible? It was impossible for her to appear in his standby list. He was not interested in married women!
He took another sip of wine and wiped the shadow away. He must have been in frequent contact with this heaven pepper recently, and his brain waves were affected by her.
Zac observed the subtle change of his expression, but didn't say a word. There were some things that would be less troubles if they were not awakened.
"Janet must have brought you a lot of trouble, right?" He changed the topic quietly.
"She is getting worse." Jim shook his head and sighed.
"If you have no choice, then you have to send her to a psychiatric hospital. A person like her is a time bomb," Zac reminded. Mad people were not terrifying, but a mad person with high intelligence was terrible. Such a person would bring immeasurable harm.
"This is the only way we can do if she makes trouble again," Jim said.
When Zac returned to Rong Mansion, Essie had already slept. But she didn't fall asleep. It was already twelve o'clock, but Zac hadn't come back yet.
In the past, no matter what kind of social engagements he had, he would never go home after ten o'clock.
Was he really drunk and taken away by a mistress?
Thinking of this, she felt a little nervous. Although she still trusted Zac, as a child born in a broken family, she lacked a sense of security in marriage and men.
There were countless ways for women to climb on a man, and it was impossible to guard against them. If Zac was really drunk or was drugged, then...
She was a little annoyed. All kinds of possibilities were formed in her head. She even felt that he was lying next to some sort of mistress at the moment.
Bastard Zac hasn't come back yet. If he doesn't come back, tomorrow... I'll go to America tomorrow and let you be a monk for a month!
She covered her head with a pillow angrily.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. She quickly put the pillow back to its original position and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
When Zac pushed the door open and saw her sleeping, he was a little disappointed. He came back late on purpose to see her anxious and impatient appearance, but he didn't expect her to sleep so calmly. It was so boring!
He turned around and walked into the bathroom. Essie had already smelled the alcohol on him.
Sure enough, he drank.
Was he drunk and had it done? He didn't come back until he woke up.
She couldn't help but clench the edge of the pillow. If this guy dares to do that, she won't wait for even a minute to divorce him!
She got up secretly, tiptoed to the bathroom and picked up the coat he had changed on the hanger.
