Chapter 151 A Flash In The Pan (Part Two)

Essie found her father-in-law very kind and amiable, and he always seemed to look out for her. Once itwas time for her to get a divorce with Zac, she would feel very sorry for him.

On the other hand, Zac was also full of admiration for his dad. No wonder Albert was the head of thefamily—he was so wise.

While the servants were serving dinner, Zac said in a careless tone, "Essie likes having a livelyatmosphere, and thinks living in a house with just me is too lonely, so we decided to move back."

"It's time you went home." Albert gave his son a subtle smile.

At the dinner table, Valery was actually the most upset one. If Essie's role and status had beenconsolidated, she was an even bigger threat to her. The more power Essie had, the more threatenedValery became.

In the evening, Zac accompanied his father to his study to play chess.

Meanwhile, Essie watched some TV with Ivy. When she heard that there were a few new Epiphyllumflowers in the garden and that they bloomed at 9:00 every night, Essie jumped up in excitement andimmediately ran to the garden to wait for them.

She had never seen Epiphyllum flower bloom right before her eyes. She had recently begun designinga new series of clothes, so she was hoping to replace some inspiration.

When Essie came to the flower bed, she found that Valery was also there. Apparently, she had alsocome to see the Epiphyllum, but she was not interested in seeing it bloom. She simply heard that onecould make a wish right before they bloomed, and she thought it would be good for her to make a wishfor love, so she came to give it a shot. Valery wanted to drive away Essie, and make Zac fall in lovewith her.

Upon seeing Essie, she cast a stern glance at her and asked, "Are you here to make a wish too?"

A faint smile appeared on Essie's face. She wasn't interested in doing such a childish thing. In the past,every time she saw a meteor, she would make a wish in hopes of marrying Hanson and becoming hiswife.

However, her wish never came true. Perhaps the meteor was just too far away to hear her, or maybe itheard her wrong so she ended up marrying Zac.

"I'm just here to see the Epiphyllum bloom," she said casually as she squatted down beside the flowerbed.

"In my opinion, your marriage with Mr. Zac is only a flash in the pan, like the flower," said Sage with avoice dripping with sarcasm.

Essie sneered, "Isn't your chest aching?" Her tone sounded light, but the warning in her words seemedeven deadlier than lead.

Sage shivered and subconsciously covered her chest with her hand.

Heaven was not being cooperative that night.

Dark clouds quietly gathered up in the sky, and with a gale came the pouring of large droplets of rain.

They all hurried into the pavilion to get shelter from the rain.

Holding her trembling arms, Valery said, "Sage, I'm so cold. Do you think I'll catch a cold?"

"Miss Valery, you might catch a cold from the strong wind. Wait here. I'll go to get an umbrella and ablanket." Sage was just about to rush out when Valery grabbed her arm. "No, I don't want to be left withher alone. What if she tries to hurt me and my child?"

Essie rolled her eyes at the two of them.

Sage agreed with Valery. 'This woman must hate Miss Valery and the baby in her belly so much. If Ileave, she will certainly take this opportunity to harm them. Miss Valery might even get a miscarriagebecause of her,' Sage thought to herself.

Sage came over and wrapped her arms around Valery to warm her up. Neither she nor Valery broughttheir cell phones with them, so they couldn't ask someone to bring them umbrellas. All they could dowas wait for the rain to stop.

Then, with a sinister smile, Valery said, "Essie, get me a blanket and an umbrella." Her tone soundedlike she was ordering a servant.

"Yes, that's a good idea. You're not pregnant, so it's okay for you to get wet in the rain," Sage saidbefore Essie could say anything.

Essie sneered. Arrogant and bossy people were never willing to lower their noble heads even if theywere asking for help.

"You wait here," Essie said coldly before running out of the pavilion.

"Hurry up! Don't delay on purpose. Otherwise, I'll catch a cold, and I'll tell mommy about it," Valeryshouted at Essie.

'Shit!'

Essie cursed in her mind.

The rain was pouring so heavily that she immediately got wet all over. If it weren't for the fact that iceguy cared about the baby, she wouldn't have even considered helping that woman.

There was more than one garden in the villa, and they were in the one that was farthest away from themain house.

While she was running through the bamboo forest, she didn't notice the stone in front of her and shestumbled over it by accident.

She immediately felt a sharp pain on her knees. She clenched her teeth, stood up, and limped forward.

In the living room, the moment Ivy saw her disheveled appearance, she quickly stood up andapproached her. "Essie, were you watching the Epiphyllum when it rained? Oh, your knees arebleeding. Did you fall? Why didn't you just take shelter in the pavilion for a while and ask a servant tobring you an umbrella?"

"I forgot to bring my cell phone with me. Valery is still there, so please arrange for someone to bring hera blanket and an umbrella. Don't let her catch a cold," Essie said breathlessly.

Ivy nodded and called a servant. Then, the servant ran out at once with a blanket and an umbrella.

Essie returned to her room, and as soon as she took off the wet clothes, Zac suddenly came in. Seeingher curvy figure, an evil smile appeared on his face and he said, "Honey, you're such a good wife. Didyou take off your clothes while waiting for me?"
