Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 780

The plum blossoms were in full bloom in December. In the plum garden in the north suburb of Dragon City, the plum blossoms were blooming brightly.

Mrs. Rose liked flowers, so Essie invited her and Irene to the plum garden to enjoy the flowers. It was not weekend, so it was very quiet here and there were not many tourists.

The air was filled with the fragrance of roses, which was refreshing.

Mrs. Rose took a deep breath and smiled, "It's so beautiful here."

Irene kept taking photos with the camera. In fact, she didn't mean to appreciate the flowers. She just hoped that Zac could come quickly and play with them.

"Sister in law, when will cousin come?"

"He'll be here as soon as the meeting is over," Essie said with a smile.

On the gravel path in front of the plum garden, two familiar figures walked over leisurely.

"Oh, it's my aunt and sister-in-law Laura. They are also here." Irene waved at them and said, "Aunt, sister-in-law Laura..."

When Mrs. Rose saw Mary, an unnatural look flashed across her face. She reached out to flick the short hair near her ear to relieve her uneasiness.

"What a coincidence! You are here too!" Looking at Essie, Leila said with a fake smile.

"Since we are all here to enjoy the plum blossoms, why don't you join us? Cousin will come here later," Irene said with a smile.

"Okay, let's have afternoon tea together later." Mary nodded.

The five people strolled around the plum garden together. After Zac came, they went to the British style afternoon tea house.

"I like the almond muffin cakes here very much. They taste better than what I ate in London," Irene said with a smile.

"The pastry master here is Michelin five star. The cakes here are delicious," Leila said.

Mrs. Rose picked up the teacup and took a sip of the black tea. The watch on her wrist was exposed from her sleeve.

Mary saw it at a glance, her body trembling with fear.

Wasn't this the watch sent by Albert? How could Mrs. Rose's wear it on her wrist? Did he give it to her?

It turned out that the mistress she had investigated was with her!

She had thought that Mrs. Rose would be safe after she completely lost her memory. It seemed that she had underestimated her enemy!

Zac also saw it, but he didn't show it on his face.

Mary took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she forced a smile and said, "Charlotte, your watch is so beautiful. When did you buy it?"

"Irene gave it to me." Mrs. Rose smiled.

"Yes, I gave it to my mother." Irene nodded.

"Really?" The smile at the corners of Mary's mouth gradually became insidious. "Where did you buy it?"

"I asked a friend to buy it for me," Irene said while eating, in case her lie was exposed.

"This is a custom-made Patek Philippe watch. It is usually only sold at an auction and is invaluable. Where does your friend come from? It's so amazing that you can buy a watch worth tens of millions of dollars at any time." Mary stared at her coldly, with a sense of trial in her eyes.

Irene trembled slightly, frightened by her expression. It seemed that her uncle didn't tell her when he gave the watch to her. Now that she knew it, she was very angry. Did she want to take the watch back?

This watch was so beautiful that she liked it very much. She could wear it when her mother didn't wear it. She didn't want to return it at all.

Mrs. Rose was shocked when she heard Mary's words. She turned to Irene and asked, "Is this watch so expensive?"

"No, I didn't. My Aunt must have made a mistake. It's only worth a little more than twenty of thousand dollars." Irene pursed her lips. She had made up her mind not to admit it.

'Auntie is so mean. It is only a watch, yet, she becomes so fierce. The Rong family is the richest family. It's possible for her to purchase Patek Philippe, let alone a watch.' Her mother was her sister. Wasn't it normal to give her a watch? No wonder her uncle asked her to keep it a secret. He probably knew that her aunt was narrow-minded and afraid that she would not be willing to give, so he did not tell her!

Leila had sensed something. She learned from the gossip in the Rong Mansion that her mother-in-law was suspecting that her father-in-law had an affair recently because of a watch. Was this the watch worn by Mrs. Rose?

Zac was still drinking tea expressionlessly, as if he didn't care about their conversation at all.

With a calm look on her face, Essie picked up a piece of muffin, smeared it with blueberry sauce and took a bite. She knew that paper could not wrap fire, and this watch would be seen by Mary sooner or later.
