Presiden's wild wife

The Dinner

“Wait!” Elena was to hang up the phone, but Zach stopped her. And he was close to tears, “Elena, just to make sure, Logan knows that, right?”

“He doesn’t know.” She replied without hesitating.

Zach nodded his head, but then he was jolted when he was about to speak.

“What? He doesn’t know?”

But he had promised Elena to help her…

“What? Do you have any problem?”

It was really a big problem for him.

Zach jumped out of his bed, “Are you at home? Being alone?”

“Yep. Do you want to come over and talk to me now?”

“Of course! Anyway, give me half an hour. I’m coming.”

Elena did not know what he wanted to do, but she still nodded with seriousness, “Come on then. I don’t think Logan will come back soon. He has something to talk about with Roger.”

Unaccountably, Zach felt he was doing a terrible thing behind Logan’s back, so he could not help feeling uneasy.

He did arrive on time. Elena heard someone was ringing the bell right after half an hour. But the door was opened before she walked there. Then Mia and Zach came in.

Mia was sentimental when she saw Elena. Then she stepped toward Elena right away and touched her face with chagrin, “My girl, haven’t you eaten anything these days? Look at your bony face.”

“Mia…” Elena gave a smile and then nestled in Mia’s arms.

Mia gave her a reply, with her face creasing into a smile.

After a while, Mia released Elena’s arm. Then she came to the kitchen to see if there was anything that she could use to cook the dinner. She kept complaining when she saw the empty fridge. “I wonder why you look so thin. Logan doesn’t know how to look after you at all. He even doesn’t stock your fridge. You are now pregnant…”

Elena laughed out immediately. She was touched by Mia’s nagging.

Zach nudged Elena stealthily. Then they sat on the sofa and began their talk.

Zach said with a namaste, “Elena, I’m begging you. Logan doesn’t even know that. And now you’re asking me to investigate that behind his back. He will kill me!”

“Why would he know if you and I don’t tell him?” A trace of cunning flickered in her eyes.

But Zach was still unnerved. “You can keep it secret, but I’ve got a big mouth!”

Moreover, he had to deal with Logan, who might have known what happened even he did not speak. He was not scared of anyone other than Logan, because Logan was so smart that he seemed to know everything.

Elena was amused, “Haven’t you saied you are tight-lipped and that you won’t tell anyone no matter what happens?”

“In front of others! But Logan was different. Even if I do not tell him, he may know what have happened when he sees me.”

“You are exaggerating. He would not eat you alive.”

Although she acted like she did not care what he had said, he still saw her through, “Elena, stop it. If you don’t think so, why do you contact me when he is not here?”

Elena was abashed, then she sighed, “But you’ve promised me, now you regret?”

Hearing that, Zach wanted to give himself a slap – why did he promise her so quickly?

Their talk had reached deadlock. But Zach compromised after a few seconds, “I will help you. But I won’t tell you the result, I just need to confirm something.”

Elena bit her lip and then agreed.

At least, she could expect to know something.

She felt she was isolated when every one around her knew something that she did not know, so she could not resist trying to figure it out. She knew she was being immature, but she just could not help it.

Zach breathed a sigh with relief covertly when Elena made a concession as well.

The sudden noise came from the hallway. Then Jacob helped Logan come in. Logan was staring at Zach.

“Mr. Stone, why would you come by suddenly?”

Zach gave a shudder. Then he smiled in embarrassment and stood up, “No, nothing. I just come by to see Elena.”

Logan squinted his eyes with apathy, “Why would you suddenly care so much about my wife?”

“Well, Logan, that’s your fault.” Zach tried to hide his guilt, “Elena is Sophia’s friend, and she’s also my friend. Why can’t I come by to visit her? How could you be so petty?”

Logan flicked a glare at him. But Zach came close to him and gave him a nudge with a grin, “Don’t be so mean. I’m not flirting with her anyway. Am I right, Elena?”

He was looking at Elena when he said the last sentence.

“Right.” Elena replied, but she did not mention what she had talked with Zach.

Logan could not argue with that, so he did not continue to question Logan. Then he asked, “Mia is here?”

“Yeah, she’s in the kitchen now.”

Mia happened to go out the kitchen after Elena said that. Then she began to complain when she saw Logan, “Logan, Elena is pregnant now. Why are there only vegetables?”

“I forget to ask Jacob to stock the fridge.”

“No. I need to go out for the food shopping, or we can’t have our dinner.”

Mia replied immediately. Logan nodded his head, “Okay. Thank you.”

Mia gave him a smile. Then she went out directly. Zach’s eyes sparkled when he heard that, “Wow, Mia is going to cook tonight?”

“What?” Logan raised his head. He thought Zach asked the question for some reason.

Zach smiled shrewdly, “Sophia loves the dishes made by Mia. I want to bring her here now that Mia will cook for the dinner.”

“Did I say yes?” Logan lifted his eyes and glanced at him.

Zach did not care what Logan had said at all. He patted Logan’s shoulder familiarly, “Don’t be so mean. I do want to eat the dinner here, but I’ll pay. You should know that I work hard for you at a discount.”

“Is it?”

Logan seemed to agree. Zach nodded, “So, just a dinner, I don’t think I’m asking too much.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Logan said with a smile. Elena felt it was not that easy for Zach to stay for the dinner when she saw Logan’s look. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Then Logan said with indifference, “But you should pay for the food.”

Zach did not realize it was a plot, so he responded instantly, “Of course I will. Just wait for a moment, Sophia is off duty. I will come back later after I pick up her.”

Logan saw Zach walking out quickly, then he his smile broadened, “Jacob, go make a list and show it to Zach later.”
