Chapter 104 Its Hard To Be With The Mother-in-law (1/2)

Never!

Thanks to his so-called mediocrity, she didn't feel any pressure whenever she was with him. She was able to get along with him, joke with him, and even argue with him. It was also because of his ”mediocrity” that she felt like they were from the same world, and that she was able to put her trust in him.

There had been a lot of ups and downs in her life. She had gone from a girl with a well-known and rich family to a girl with a small house in the middle of nowhere. And to be honest, she preferred the latter one.

It was said that jade was the apple of the eyes of people from wealthy families, but the truth was, people from wealthy families all had two faces: one was ugly, while the other was gorgeous and fake.

What was the difference between Zac and those people?

”I'll only do what I need to, and I'll act how I should. Nothing more.” Essie's voice was cold and distant, and there was a trace of bitterness in it. She fixed her eyes outside the window, refusing to even look at Zac.

Zac didn't like seeing such an expression on her face, and he didn't want her to treat him as a mere passer-by. He grabbed her shoulders, turned her over, and forced her to face him. ”I never lied about anything but my identity to you. To be honest, I didn't feel like I had to hide my personality from you or play any games with you. I tried to be myself and let you see who I was. Nothing has to change between us. Without the Rong family, I am still the same homeless guy with nothing to offer who has been raised by you, and you are still my queen,” he said.

”Does that make it okay?” Essie sneered.

”From now on, you're in charge of our finances. I'll just leave some pocket money for myself for drinking, and other than that I'll just be like a pauper.” Zac gently touched the tip of her nose, his eyes full of love.

Essie sighed lightly. Although she was still a little uncomfortable and resentful, she decided to let it go.

If she quarreled with him, and gave him the silent treatment, Valery would feel very happy, and she didn't want that.

She needed to show off how happy and sweet they were and make Valery even angrier.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

It was Mary.

”I have something to tell you.” She looked extremely serious.

Zac frowned slightly. ”Have a seat, Mommy.”

After Mary sat down on the sofa, Zac took a seat opposite her with his arm around Essie.

”What do you want to say?” he asked in a low voice.
