Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 286 The Reason

“Oh!”

Sophia cried out in alarm. Meanwhile, Zach quickly pulled her into his arms.

Zach approached her and took her to bed without hesitation, “I’m so sleepy. We can sleep a while longer.”

“I have to go to work!”

“You don’t need to work. I called your manager and asked for leave last night.”

When Sophia heard what Zach said, she almost jumped up. But Zach held her so tightly. She became exasperated, “This is my job. You can’t make decisions for me like this.”

Zach ignored Sophia and held her tighter, “But you didn’t even fall asleep last night.”

Then he lifted his hand and fondled her cheek. She looked very haggard.

Sophia was unable to refute him and didn’t know what else she could say to him.

He asked for leave and tried so hard to persuade her. She couldn’t even find how to refuse him. What’s more, Sophia also felt sleepy, so she just fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon. Sophia was forced to wake up from hunger. The air was filled with the smell of food, which made her even hungrier.

She quickly put on her shoes and went downstairs. Zach was cooking in the kitchen, and was surprised by her sudden appearance, “I was going to wake you up after I finish this.”

Sophia scratched her hair and was bending over the table drowsily. After sleeping for a long time, she felt her body soft, “When did you get up?”

“About an hour ago.”

Zach grinned and approached her, holding a plate of braised pork, “Try it! I cooked for you.”

Sophia narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Why have you tried so hard to please me? Did you have a bad conscience?”

“What?”

Zach appeared distressed, “Why did you think so much? I just feel sorry that you didn’t eat anything delicious last night. You misunderstand me.”

“I…”

Sophia pouted her lips, “How do you know that?”

Zach raised his eyebrow and let her look into the kitchen, “You didn’t wash the dishes.”

Sophia didn’t mean it. It was just that she was too lazy, and that he was not with her, so no one could urge her to wash the dishes.

Zach did not notice her expression. He urged her, “Go and wash your face first. I also cooked the stewed chicken, which you want to eat. Hurry up!”

Stewed chicken! Braised pork!

Sophia’s eyes lit up instantly. She didn’t act languidly anymore, but was in high spirits.

Zach felt so happy when seeing her feel cheerful. He knew very well how to cheer her up. She just liked delicious food.

After the dinner, Sophia felt satiated and full. Zach teased her, “If you go out now, people will think that you are pregnant for three months.”

Sophia was fuming with anger and threatened him, “Do you dare to say it again!?”

Zach shrank his neck and sighed, “Fine! Everything you have said is right, okay?”

Sophia was very stubborn, “I haven’t forgotten what happened last night. No matter how you try to please me, it was in vain.”

“No!”

Zach’s face fell, “Sophia, why couldn’t you just forgive me about last night?”

Sophia bit her lip, and then looked at him, “Why did you leave me at home for today?”

“You have noticed it?”

Zach was stunned because he didn’t expect that.

“Bullshit. I know what you are thinking about.” Sophia rolled her eyes. He would not delay her work no matter what happened at ordinary times. But today, he even asked for leave for her. She thought it was unreasonable.

Zach smiled awkwardly. He immediately kissed Sophia on the face, “Honey, you really know everything I am thinking about.”

When Sophia realized what happened, Zach had taken her to Logan’s villa. Logan happened to go out, leaving Elena and Mia at home.

When Sophia and Zach arrived, Elena was basking in the sun in the yard. She glanced at them, “Sophia… Zach?”

Sophia hurried to greet Elena. She didn’t know why Zach had taken her here, “Why have you taken me here? To meet Elena?”

“No. I have something to talk about with Elena.” Zach rubbed her head and said, “You go into the house first. I have something to say to Elena.”

It seemed that he was not joking judging from his expression. Sophia didn’t say anything and just went in to find Mia.

Elena raised her head and saw Zach’s serious look, and she understood what was going on in her heart, “Is there any progress on what I asked you to investigate?”

“Yes.”

Zach stood in front of her, somewhat restless.

Elena smiled, “Just say it. I’ve actually got myself all psyched up for it, so I won’t be surprised by anything you tell me.”

“Elena, there are some things that I can only say to you, but I have to admit… I can’t tell you all of them!” He clenched his fist and his hands were sweating.

“Okay.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Elena’s calmness even made Zach more uneasy. He stood still there.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said slowly, “Elena, do you remember Kent?”

“Of course.” Elena’s eyes were intense. She had expected that all this had something to do with Kent.

“Then do you remember what he said to you?”

“Yes, a lot…”

Elena frowned, “For example…he did everything for my good. From the moment he met me, he was destined to do this…and…”

Zach looked extremely grave.

“Also, he asked me not to meet Edward, if not, I will definitely regret it!”

She remembered he had told her this more than once. He reminded her, and also reminded Logan…

Zach took a deep breath, and then said, “Yes. The cause of everything was Edward…”
