Chapter 102 The War Has Just Begun (1/2)

”She went back yesterday.” There was a hint of coldness in Zac's tone. He frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about Leila.

Essie wondered if he had explained the whole marriage thing to her.

Did he tell Leila the truth that they were just acting to put her mind at ease?

'Forget it. It's none of my business,' Essie comforted herself in mind.

Then, she stretched out her hand to look at the brilliant ring on it. ”Is this a crystal or a diamond?” she asked Zac.

Leila must have recognized it at a glance. She was a jewelry designer and a professional jewelry assessor. No wonder she acted so weirdly when she saw it.

'I really don't know what's going on in this guy's mind. He gave me a diamond ring and made me showcase it in front of his girlfriend. Is he trying to play a game?' she wondered.

What was worse, it was a very valuable diamond. How could he let her wear it? Wasn't he afraid that she would lose it?

Fortunately, she took it off the day she was kidnapped for fear that the oil and smoke would damage the ring while she was cooking. Otherwise, Valery would have been even more furious than Leila, and she would have definitely cut off her hand.

”It's just a stone. As long as you like it, it's okay.” Zac smiled, it was just as she had said to Finney the other day.

Essie's lips curled up.

She had said that on purpose that day in order to save his face.

But the value between the two stones were vastly different.

Even if she worked hard her entire life, she would never be able to afford this stone.

It wasn't a big deal to him because he was rich!

”Well... Should I prepare some gifts for your family?” she spoke in a small voice, mostly because of how little money she had. She didn't even have enough money to buy a nice gift for her rich parents-in-law.

Zac stroked her head in a comforting manner. ”Don't worry. I have everything we need.”

Essie breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. After all, he knew his parents' likes best.

The next noon, she and Zac arrived at Dragon City.

While sitting in the car, Essie looked out of the window and into the busy street.

Fifteen years had passed since she left this city.

As the most powerful international financial center in the eastern region, it not only had a rich cultural background, but it also developed very quickly.

Zac's family's house was situated near the mountain and right beside the river. It was a hundred-year-old house.

In Essie's memory, she knew that her original family had a large house, but the villa of Zac's family was even larger. It was just like a grand wonderland.

After they entered the gate, it took a while before they finally saw the antique mansion.

The butler, Uncle Li, was waiting for them at the door.
