Chapter 438 Family Reunion Dinner (1/2)

”Thank you,” she said it lightly. She wouldn't give the same blessing, because the marriage between him and Leila was a scar in her heart that would never be healed, so she couldn't bless them. She was not the Holy Virgin Mary.

Zac picked up the juice on the table and took a sip, dissipating the bitterness on the tip of his tongue. He looked to the small train not far away. Rabi and Mili were sitting in one carriage, while Dot was sitting alone in another.

”Your son has a strong character.” He smiled faintly.

”Like his father,” Essie answered almost subconsciously. Dot look like him, no matter in appearance or personality.

”I don't think so.” Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly. He didn't think that Dot looked like Hanson at all.

Essie knew Dot did not look like Hanson who was a warm and kind gentleman. He was so bright and handsome that made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze. But he wasn't as strong as a bomb. He wasn't cool and aloof and was not bossy in personality. Only a great demon king like Zac would own those characters.

But she couldn't tell Zac about the secret of the children. She knew that once the secret of the children was exposed, she would be involved in endless fighting for the children and might lose them. She would never allow such a terrible thing to happen.

When she was in America, she called Hanson husband just for the sake of the children and she did not want them to gossip. In private, she told him very clearly that she could only treat him as her friend. They had never done anything crossing the line.

That comforted him. ”Would you have left me if we hadn't lost that baby?”

”Yes, I will.” Without hesitation, she left for two reasons. First, she wanted her children to be born safely. Second, she knew the truth what Mary had done her mother, and this cruel truth was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back, making her completely lose hope in this marriage.

A hint of shock and pain flew into his eyes. ”Why?” he asked. He asked in disbelief. He always thought she left for the sake of losing her child. Was there any other reason?

”Do you still remember that I visited my parents before the miscarriage?” So far, Essie didn't have to hide the truth from him.

Zac was surprised and nodded.

”My mom told me what happe
