Way Back Into Love novel Chapter 171

"Okay. How about I spend five million for you tomorrow?" Essie tried if she could provoke him to change his mind. Sadly for her, Zac just continued smiling at her with love in his eyes. He replied in a soft voice, "The card belongs to you. Spend as you like. You don't need to let me know what you did with it."

"If I spent five million a day, would you go bankrupt?" she asked.

"You idiot, I will always make far more money than you could ever spend. How would I go bankrupt?" He shook his head with a smile, her words amusing him.

And that was when she began to feel that what she did today was very childish. Her fighting spirit died a quiet death. She had spent the whole day trying to piss him off. Unexpectedly, he didn't even frown. She wanted to hide in the corner and draw circles to curse him.

It was one a quarter million dollars! If that amount of money was donated to the poor, it could help a few children who were forced to drop out of school out of poverty. How could she spend everything on a watch and a handbag? She was such a fool!

What's more, she owed Zac a favor.

The irony was astounding. She was just eating braised noodles he cooked for her that morning and in the afternoon, she was burning through a quarter million of his money.

Living the cushy life like she did today made her feel guilty. She should be dealing with the pregnant woman hounding him, not sit pretty and enjoy all the benefits.

Deciding on what she should do, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go back to the Rong Mansion."

Zac patted her on the head and smiled at her. "No rush. Have some fun first."

"You tried so hard to force me to come back. Didn't you want me to solve your problem as soon as possible?" She sniffed.

He put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "I want my wife, not a machine gun." His tone sounded serious.

Inside her, she sighed. She was afraid that he would be disappointed. She could only be a machine gun but not his wife. She couldn't accept a marriage without love. And she couldn't give her lifetime of happiness to someone who always had a headache when he saw her.

"It takes a lot of courage to be your wife," she said in a low voice as her eyes lowered.

He pulled away from their embrace to cup her face gently, making sure their eyes touch. "I know you are under a lot of pressure because of Valery. But I promise that after the baby is born, the problem will be easily solved."

She wrinkled her nose at him.

There was something amusing at the optimism in his words.

How do they solve this problem? Unless the child wasn't his, Valery would definitely be a problem they would have for the rest of their lives.

"You... What are you doing here?" Valery was enraged.

"That's weird. This is my home. Of course, I'll be here." Essie shrugged Valery's question off and walked into the hall.

Ivy and Daisy were watching TV on the sofa. As soon as they spotted Essie, they rose to their feet happily and took her to sit with them. They hadn't seen her for a long time and were really worried that she had a fight with Zac.

"Sister-in-law, I'm glad you're back! I was worried that you wouldn't be able to attend my birthday party," Ivy said with a big smile on her face. Her birthday was in two days. She had planned to throw a party in the Fairy Wood Garden of Rong Mansion.

"I just went back to Yang City to complete some personal errands. I immediately came back after I was done there," Essie smiled again.

"That's great! It means you didn't fight with Zac." Daisy patted her on the shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you argue with each other, you always make up with a kiss." Ivy giggled.

Essie stood up. She held his neck with one of her hands and pinched his nose with the other. "I planned to stay in Yang City for a few more days. But he came to pick me up when he couldn't bear the loneliness anymore. That's why I'm back so quickly."

Zac pecked her lightly on the lips and said dotingly, "Honey, you know I can't sleep without you."
