No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 His Most Vulnerable Spot
Zephyr had intended to have Isla detained for five days before releasing her.

But after this conversation, he suddenly changed his mind.

Zephyr asked the young police officer, “What's the longest detention period?”

“Thirty-seven days.”

“Then let her stay for thirty-seven days.”

The young police officer's mouth fell open in surprise.

Regarding Zephyr's decision, Matthew neither agreed nor disagreed. “If you do this, would your dad approve?”

“Even if he doesn't, what can he do with you here?” Zephyr was lounging on the couch in Matthew's office, exuding an air of calm serenity. “Once Isla is released, send her back to Fairlake.”

“So, you're using me, aren't you?” Matthew chuckled helplessly, giving him a curious look. “You seem quite upset this time. Is it because of Ms. Tortell?”

At the police station last time, he had observed that Zephyr's feelings for Sophia were anything but ordinary.

Zephyr didn't deny it. “She really needs to work on her temper.”

Isla knew her actions were wrong, but she went ahead anyway, thinking she could get away with it because of Matthew's leniency.

One doesn't truly understand the pain until it happens to them.

Back when Isla was impulsive and reckless, Zephyr would do nothing more than reprimand her a few times, help her sort out the mess, and compensate the victims on her behalf.

Had Isla targeted someone else this time, Zephyr might not have been so furious.

Yet, she had decided to act against Sophia, hitting his most vulnerable spot.

Matthew shook his head slightly. “At this point, if changes were possible, they would have already happened... The feud between Ms. Tortell and Isla is set in stone. I'm afraid it's only going to cause you more trouble in the future.”

When Zephyr went missing, Meredith and Bjorn had redirected all their love and affection toward their daughter. Consequently, they spoiled Isla, making her arrogant and willful, completely detached from the realities of the world.

Later, Zephyr was found and brought back. Meredith tried her best to make amends, but she still had a deeper affection for the daughter who had grown up by her side.

Matthew had also witnessed the interactions between Zephyr and Bjorn. Every conversation was filled with official matters, creating a sense of icy alienation and lacking any warmth or familial affection.

Bjorn treated Zephyr as if he were dealing with a competent successor, rather than his own son.

“Sophia still doesn't know who I am,” Zephyr said. “If I marry Sophia in the future, we certainly won't be living with my family.”

“Really? The revolution still hasn't succeeded?” Matthew teased.

“Not yet, but... it should be soon.”

Seeing the confidence radiating from his eyes, Matthew asked curiously, “How so?”

Zephyr briefly mentioned his agreement with Sophia.

Matthew burst into laughter, poking him with his index finger. “You're quite the sly one.”

“It's just clever planning. When the time comes, I'll need Kylie's help to pull off a little act.”

“I can help you too.”

“No, it'll only backfire if you do.”

If it were Kylie, David would have no problem allowing him to marry Sophia right away.

But with Matthew involved, David would probably fear offending the Xenos family and would put an end to his relationship with Sophia immediately.

“This incident has made Ms. Tortell suffer. Since your sister instigated it, you need to make it up to her.”

“I know.”

That night, Sophia shared a bed with Lenora.

Upon waking up in the morning, Sophia opened her eyes to take in the sight before her. She then closed her eyes again, rubbing them slightly, basking in the soft, warm scent around her. With a content sigh, she said, “Finally, I get to immerse myself in it.”

Lenora was dumbfounded.

In the morning, Lenora accompanied Sophia to buy a new phone and a new SIM card, and they even strolled around a bit.

After getting a scare yesterday, Sophia decided to splurge a little to compensate herself. In no time, she found herself laden with all sorts of shopping bags.
