As soon as they entered the room, Walt showed a cold expression. "Don't make a mistake. We are just pretending to be a couple. Don't expect us to make it real."
"Let's be a real couple for a period of time. Having a baby won't hinder your plan, right?" Leila shrugged.
"How could I have a baby with you?" He looked at her with a sneer.
"Why not?" Leila asked.
"I don't need any other woman's child. It's enough for me to have Dawny," Walt said firmly.
"He will always be under the name of Zac. He won't recognize you as his father." Leila glanced at him sympathetically.
"As long as Zac and Essie separate, I will tell him the truth," said Walt in a low voice.
"I didn't mean to hurt you, but it's not an easy thing to separate Zac from Essie. Even with the help of Willi, we may not succeed. Don't hold too much hope." Leila made no secret of it.
"Even if there is only one percent possibility, I still want to have a try. After all, we have a child. I still have hope," Walt comforted himself.
"Really? The ideal is plump, and the reality is bony. I advise you to be more realistic. You'd better accept me and live with me rather than waste your energy and time on someone like Essie. No matter in appearance or figure, I'm no worse than Essie," said Leila, pouting.
"Does Willi suggest you to do so?" Walt sneered.
"I just think that we are quite suitable for each other. We have common goals, common dreams, and common belief." Leila shrugged.
"I didn't see it at all. You'd better not make such a plan, or don't blame me for being rude to you," Walt warned.
"You will regret it," said Leila coldly.
In the hall.
Zac was pretending to be a horse for his little son to ride on him.
The baby sat on his back, giggling and quite happy.
"I remember that when we were children, daddy Hanson often did this for us," Mili said in a very low voice, looking at her father and brother.
"Once, you peed on him by accident," Dot said with a smile.
"You have a good memory, don't you?" Mili pouted.
"I have no choice. I can't forget it." Dot shrugged.
"You have to forget it." Mili pouted unhappily.
"Well, I won't mention it anymore." Dot nodded.
Zac returned to the sofa and sat down, putting the baby on his laps.
"I find that uncle likes Dawny very much. The first thing he does when he comes back every day is to look for him," said Mili.
"It seems that he has taken Dawny as his own child," Dot rubbed his chin and said.
"I also think that since uncle likes children so much, why don't he have one himself?" Asked Mili, tilting her head.
"He thinks it's too troublesome to have a baby by himself." Dot smiled.
"It's Mommy's business to have a baby. Daddy does not need to give birth to a baby," Mili said with a pout.
"Uncle has his own plan. You two just leave him alone." Essie caressed the heads of the two children.
Mili took a sip of the juice and said thoughtfully like an adult, "I think it is not that uncle doesn't want a baby. He just doesn't want to have a baby with aunt. Maybe the two of them had broken up. Aunt wanted to have a baby as soon as possible to keep uncle, but uncle wanted to divorce her, so he didn't want a baby. He can only place his love on little Dawny."
"Sounds reasonable." Dot touched his chin and nodded slightly.
Essie and Zac looked at each other. Their daughter's guess was reasonable.
Walt was a playboy with only three minutes' passion. He was capricious and liked to pursue novelty and excitement.
Maybe he and Laura got married just because of the temporary passion.
Now that the passion was gone, he regretted and wanted to get rid of it.
After the accident of Charlotte, Mary proposed to hold a wedding for them, but he delayed it to the national holiday in October, probably because he didn't want to hold it.
As for Laura, she certainly didn't want to divorce. She could only keep his heart by giving birth to a child.
Thinking of this, Essie sighed and sympathized with Laura.
"Sister-in-law is also very pitiful. The two of them have only been married for less than a year, but brother has changed his mind."
"They will take care of their own business. We don't need to worry about them," Zac said in an indifferent tone. He had been accustomed to his brother's chaotic love life. He bet that even if he was married, there would not be only Laura around him.
At this time, in the villa, Eva had cooked the snakehead fish soup for Jim.
Although his wound was scarred over, he strongly requested the woman to cook the snakehead fish soup for him, so she had to obey.
As soon as she put the soup on the table, she heard the doorbell ringing.
From the monitor, she saw that it was Jim's mother, Mrs. Kerry. She trembled violently and didn't know what to do.
"Scum Jim, your mommy is here."
"Open the door," Jim said in a low voice.
"Should I hide from her? I don't want her to misunderstand me." Eva rubbed her hands awkwardly and was about to hide into the room upstairs, but she was stopped by Jim.
"Why? I saved you and got hurt. Isn't it natural for you to take care of me?"
"Yeah. It's normal to take care of a male bestie." Eva grinned and ran to open the door.
