Chapter 1553 "Yeah. He's tired after playing all afternoon," replied Zachary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia had strong reason to suspect that the boy was Bryan-whom Corinne raised-and not Benjamin. Perhaps he felt compelled to play all day and not chas he felt that it was too strict at home. The boy might be innocent and immature, but he could still be a potential source of trouble. After all, there was always a possibility that he might say the wrong thing to Zachary.
She needed to figure out a way to resolve the situation, and fast. The two children under Corinne's care were an issue that had to be addressed as well. Sophia could not accept the existence of children that Jeremy had with another woman.
After pondering for a while, Sophia asked, "Would you consider having another child to keep Benjamin company?" Fathering Jeremy's child would make it much easier for her to get rid of Corinne's child.
Zachary froze for a moment as his expression sank. "What do you mean by that? Why would you even suggest that to me? Do you think I'm in any condition to have a child?" Sophia explained, "Zachary, technology has advanced so much that we could even explore in vitro techniques! I'm still young, and | want to have another child...” "We can talk about this later," Zachary responded coldly. "Your priority right now is to focus on handling your father's affairs." "Okay." Sophia dropped the topic. However, she could not help but notice the faint traces of sweat on Zachary's head. She found it a little strange, so she asked, "Why are you sweating so much?" A fleeting dark expression crossed Zachary's face within a second. "I guess the room was just a little warm." Sophia still found it somewhat odd. "Is it? But no matter 8 hot it was in Molomia, I don't remember ever seeing you sweat there..." Since Zachary spent most of his tin a wheelchair and rarely exercised, it was indeed a very unusual sight to see him sweating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary explained, "I slipped when | went to the bathroom earlier. | sweated because | had to exert myself a little to stand up." He could not let Sophia know that he was doing his rehabilitation exercises; that would only serve to heighten her suspicions.
Sophia accepted his explanation and no longer suspected anything." Please don't hesitate to askfor help if something like this ever happens again. I'm your wife, so it's okay for US to look at each other's bodies from tto time. There's nothing to be shy about!" Zachary responded, ‘Til let you know if it happens again. Anyway, you should rest. I'm sure you're tired after being out the entire day. I'll go check if Benjamin is awake." Sophia still wanted to talk to him, but Zachary had turned his wheelchair and headed back into the room.
She then received a call on her phone.
Rather than following Zachary in, Sophia sighed and answered the call. It was from her father, Adam. "Sophia! Melinda and | are about to wrap up our trip. We're getting ready to return hnow. When will you and Zachary cback?" Sophia sighed and said, "We might not be able to return just yet. | still haven't been able to finish doing what you askedto do here. It's taking longer than expected." "Is it that difficult to sell sassets?" Adam's voice grew stern. "What's taking you so long? Did you run into any issues in the country?" "The companies that initially showed interest in acquiring them changed their minds at the last minute and backed out for unknown reasons," Sophia complained.
"Hmph!" Adam huffed. "Those sly old foxes must be giving you a hard tbecause you're a woman. Well, Melinda and | have just finished our trip, so we'll take a flight there right away. | will handle everything myself, so just leave it to me."
