A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 191 A Miscarriage (Part Two)

How could he still force her to stay if her presence would just bother him? How could he keep bothering her and torturing her to death every night if she was a headache to him?

"Since I'm a big headache to you, then free yourself from the pain and let me go," she muttered sourly.

His face immediately darkened. "Don't say such nonsense again," he said seriously.

She snorted, "Unless you tie me up with a chain, I will find a way to escape." Her tone sounded like a hissy fit. She was a pain in his butt. He didn't love her at all. The only reason she was still here was because he trapped her into this death sentence of a marriage just because his demands needed to be met.

His shapely eyebrows twisted. He was nearing the end of his patience but he had to hold his anger back. Smiling mischievously, he crept one hand to her underbelly. "Maybe when you have a child, you won't think about leaving anymore." He hadn't been practiced contraception all the time. If everything went smooth, she would have been pregnant in no time.

But Essie took his hand off and refused, "I don't want to have a baby!" She had been secretly taking birth control pills without telling him. Their marriage was nothing more than a farce. They shouldn't be selfish enough to involve a baby in their lives.

There was a dark glint in Zac's eyes before he said, "If you don't want to have a baby by yourself, you can ask for others' help." There was a subtle threat in his voice. He just wanted a child of their own, so he would never have another child with another woman.

She trembled slightly at his words. There was no medical reason for her not to give birth to her own baby. Why should she find someone else? Her child must come from her own belly.

"We can talk about babies later. You promised me that you would let me go if the baby in Valery's belly is yours. Don't try to trap me with another baby." Her tone was cold and ruthless.

His eyes darkened.

He could wait for her to untie the knot in her heart if it was because of Valery's baby. But he needed to squash any of her hopes to go back to Hanson.

The next morning, he ordered the kitchen to make spicy crabs for Essie.

When the crab was served on the table, Essie's eyes glimmered. Her mouth watered at the feast waiting for her.

Ivy was rubbing her hands. She had been craving for crabs for a long time now, but the people who kept them in the pond said that the crabs hadn't grown much. She was told they had to wait until the Mid-autumn Festival to enjoy the meaty crustaceans.

"Who got us the crabs today?" She giggled.

Zac put his arm around Essie and said, "You should thank my wife."

Ivy pouted at the couple's affections and pretended to be dissatisfied. "Last week, I also wanted to eat crabs. But the people who managed the pond said they were not fat enough yet and asked me to wait. How could they get fat in only a week?"

A smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth. "They told me the same thing, but I didn't listen to them. I asked them to just do what I said." If his wife wanted crabs, even if they were still baby crabs, then his people had to cook and prepare them for his wife.

Ivy smiled and said, "Are you flexing how much you love your wife?"

Zac didn't say anything but looked smug. He should spoil his wife.

Jealousy and resentment flared in Valery's eyes. He had carried his child in her. Wasn't that enough for him to love her back?

Unfortunately, Mary wasn't at lunch. She had to go to a business reception with Albert today. Otherwise, she would definitely stand up to defend Valery.

After the servants served the food, everyone started to eat.

Sage was waiting for Valery to finish her food.

"Miss, would you like some crabs?"

Valery nodded and Sage quickly transferred the largest piece of crab to her plate.

Seeing the little scene, a tinge of surprise flashed across Sally's face. She opened her lips, as if to say something, but finally she closed them and lowered her head instead.

Zac served a piece of big crab meat to his wife and said, "Honey, try this. See if it tastes better than that cooked on the TV show?"

Essie paused for a second and thought, 'Bullshit!' She could only watch them on TV, but she hadn't been able to try anything from the show. How was she supposed to know whether they were delicious or not?

She took a bite of the crab meat. It tasted good. Their chef did a good job at it.

Valery had eaten a lot, too. Pregnant women craved for spicy food the most.

Zac had been building his immunity against spicy food. He placed a piece of spicy crab in his mouth and yet his face didn't change at all. He didn't gulp down cold water as usual. Seeing this, Essie gave him a thumbs up. "Very good! Icy guy! You've made progress!"

"You trained me well." The corners of Zac's mouth drew a charming arc. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Walt glanced at his brother with jealousy in his eyes. The more Zac and Essie showed their love for each other, the more resentful he got.

After lunch, Sage accompanied Valery for a walk along the lake. While they were walking, Valery suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach. At first she thought she had just eaten something bad. She excused herself and went to the bathroom to relieve herself when she noticed the blood trickling down her legs.

"Sage!" She screamed in horror, "Sage, I'm bleeding!"
