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 it
was 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 the
family—he was so wise.

While the servants were serving dinner, Zac said in a careless tone, "Essie likes having a lively
atmosphere, 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 been
consolidated, she was an even bigger threat to her. The more power Essie had, the more threatened
Valery 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 Epiphyllum
flowers in the garden and that they bloomed at 9:00 every night, Essie jumped up in excitement and
immediately ran to the garden to wait for them.

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

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

However, her wish never came true. Perhaps the meteor was just too far away to hear her, or maybe it
heard 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 flower
bed.

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

Essie sneered, "Isn't your chest aching?" Her tone sounded light, but the warning in her words seemed
even 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 a
blanket." Sage was just about to rush out when Valery grabbed her arm. "No, I don't want to be left with
her 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 I
leave, she will certainly take this opportunity to harm them. Miss Valery might even get a miscarriage
because of her,' Sage thought to herself.

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

Then, with a sinister smile, Valery said, "Essie, get me a blanket and an umbrella." Her tone sounded
like 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 said
before Essie could say anything.

Essie sneered. Arrogant and bossy people were never willing to lower their noble heads even if they
were 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," Valery
shouted 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 ice
guy 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 the
main house.

While she was running through the bamboo forest, she didn't notice the stone in front of her and she
stumbled 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 and
approached her. "Essie, were you watching the Epiphyllum when it rained? Oh, your knees are
bleeding. Did you fall? Why didn't you just take shelter in the pavilion for a while and ask a servant to
bring you an umbrella?"

"I forgot to bring my cell phone with me. Valery is still there, so please arrange for someone to bring her
a 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. Seeing
her curvy figure, an evil smile appeared on his face and he said, "Honey, you're such a good wife. Did
you take off your clothes while waiting for me?"
