A Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Of course not." Then Essie shrugged.

Hearing Wendy mention the past, Lucy felt unease sweep through her.

Back then, because she couldn't have another child, Bob's parents were against his marriage with her. They did everything possible to break it off. Even though Essie was quite young, she was bestowed with sensibility. She was a considerate child. In order to make the family accept her mother and her, she even agreed to change her last name. She also swore that no matter who she married, she would maintain the surname and make sure her kids would have it.

"Wendy!" When Lucy was about to speak, she was stopped by Bob. In a firm voice, he said, "About Essie’s issue, I will deal it with Lucy. We will sort it out in Zac's parents' presence. But at present, we are here to talk about Finney."

He made it clear to everyone that he didn't want other people putting their nose in his daughter's business.

Wendy rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm doing it for your sake."

Listening to her aunt's words, Essie sneered in her heart. She knew very well that people like her aunt cared about nothing but money. Human beings had no value at all! She held Zac's hand and said, "There is a beautiful garden here. Let's get a breath of fresh air, shall we?"

"Okay," Zac replied with a smile. It was indeed suffocating in here.

Antony also stood up. His condition seemed worse than Zac's. His mother-in-law was indeed a scary woman. "Finney, let's go with them."

Finney nodded, and the four of them left the room together.

In the garden, they sat around a round table, enjoying the fresh air. Essie took a deep breath and giggled all of a sudden. Seeing the look on other's face, she explained, "You rich people have your fun. And allow us poor people to have ours. We don't have money. But as long as we are happy, nothing else matters. Don't you think so?"

Holding her by the shoulder, Zac's eyes brimmed with tenderness. "It's my pleasure to marry a woman like you."

Antony looked at them with admiration and said, "Lovely! I love to see women who don't value money too much."

"Antony, but if every women became like me, then men like you who are tall, handsome, rich would lose their advantages." Essie was teasing him now.

"That's true," Antony smiled, with an indescribable shimmer on his face.

Finney sighed and said, "I am glad you are optimistic. However, you have to be mentally prepared for what is to come. Your wedding won't be so smooth."

solid solution to this dilemma. You could give birth to a few more kids. Half of them should be titled with your family name and the other half with his. That would sort it out!" Hearing that, Essie could not help but chuckle. They had no idea this marriage was temporary. She would divorce after the Spring Festival.
