Sophia didn’t expect that he kissed her again. She wanted to struggle, but this time he was so gentle that she found herself obsessed with the kiss.
“Sophia…” He called her name in a low voice.
His voice pulled her back from her thoughts. She stared at him with her eyes widening.
Zach smiled at her, “Can we...”
“Boom!”
“Zach! You’ve promised me that you will marry Sophia! But I have waited for so long and yet you don't...”
Mrs. Stone rushed into the house. As she looked around and saw them sitting on the couch, she was so surprised to see how close they were now that she couldn’t say a word…
She had no idea when and how they got together! If she knew it, she wouldn’t have intruded on Zach’s house at all!
Sophia was embraced by Zach tightly. Mrs. Stone’s sudden appearance shocked her.
While Zach felt embarrassed, holding Sophia protectively in his arms. His face was darkening. “Mom! How can you come in without even knocking?!”
“Well…” Mrs. Stone stepped back to the door, “I am sorry…Please go ahead. Just ignore me.”
Then she was about to leave. But Zach wouldn’t let her go and pulled her back, “Hey Mom! Stop. Now that you are here, please sit!”
Sophia stammered with a pink face, “Well…Mrs. Stone…I…Would you like a cup of tea? I shall make tea for you and you two can have a chat…”
After finishing her sentence, she ran away at once.
Seeing that Sophia was running into the kitchen, Mrs. Stone said angrily to Zach, “Why don’t you tell me you two are together? I was so worried about you!”
“Then why don’t you call me first before you come?”
Mrs. Stone curled her lips, “How do I know that you two will kiss in the living room?”
Zach looked at her helplessly, “Hey…Mom…”
“What? Are you accusing me of being a blabbermouth?” She squinted at him.
“Mom!”
“Stop calling me! I can hear you. You’re a grown-up. Don’t make me worry about you all the time.” She wanted to mess his hair. However, she couldn’t even touch his head because he was so tall.
Both of them were so embarrassed now.
Thankfully Sophia helped enliven the atmosphere between them. She quickly made them tea and took it out for them. She composed herself and looked more relaxed now. “Mrs. Stone, enjoy your tea, please.”
“Thank you!” Mrs. Stone nodded immediately, taking over the cup. She said in a happy tone, “I am looking forward to having tea with you, Sophia! I am so happy. I feel like being young again with you.”
Sophia was too shy to look at her. Zach pulled her back to his embrace, “Don’t be shy! Come on, you are always mean to me. It’s unfair that you treat my mom so tenderly.”
Mrs. Stone glared at him, blaming, “Stop it, stupid boy. It’s none of your business. Let go of Sophia. You should go away, now! Hey, Sophia, come here. Sit next to me.” Mrs. Stone wanted to talk to Sophia now.
