A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 178 What Do You Mean (Part One)

"Mommy," Valery said, while her eyes almost popped out of its lid in anger. She turned around and her gaze met with Mary's. Mary nearly cried seeing Valery's condition. Her life was on the precipice. 'How I wish I could make things better for the little child,' Mary thought forlornly.

"Zac, you aren't officially married to Valery. You may refuse to agree she is your wife legally. But you had sex with her and now she is pregnant with your child. This makes it your responsibility to look after her! I won't let you escape it!" Mary's voice had an edge to it. She was extremely mad at her son's behavior.

"Mommy, let me be clear, you can't expect me to live with two women at the same time. That is ludicrous! Valery is quite young. In the future, she can pursue the person that makes her happy. I don't see why she should waste her youth under our clutches," Zac said in a cold and resolute tone.

With tears streaming down her face, Valery said, "You're my happiness. You're the person I wish to spend the rest of my life with. There is no way I am marrying someone else!"

"If you are willing to throw all your happiness for my sake then there is nothing I can do about it. But there's one thing I need to make clear. I, Zac, will only be married once in this life. As you all know, that wife is Essie. Even if she leaves me one day, don't expect me to marry someone else. I will be fine living the rest of my life alone," Zac announced with a seriousness that made everyone believe his words. His gaze left Valery and Mary, and looked at Essie. A hidden smile played on his lips.

All the three people, present in the hall, stood astonished.

Raising her eyes, Essie looked, trying to decipher if he actually meant what he said.

He could have said it just to get rid of Valery. 'Did he really mean it?' Essie wondered, but admonished herself for getting her hopes so high.

Valery, on the other hand, looked as if a heavy bolt had struck her. Her body was stiff and she almost staggered to the floor. Luckily, Mary's firm hands caught her in time.
