Sofia was always stubborn and Zack was always shameless so he considered her shy, “You belong to me now. You must love me and live with me. You are not allowed to find another man.”
“Why? There are so many gentlemen.” She frowned and murmured, “I will not spend the rest of my life with you.”
“But I will, honey. You are the only apple in my eyes.” He smiled delightedly and came closer to her.
When Elena came back, Zack and Sofia were still squabbling with each other. Sofia now was more lively and vigorously than before.
“You two are like naughty children and cannot be quiet when you are with each other.”
Sofia showed her head above the sofa to look at her with a flushed face. “No, we are not. Don’t tease us.”
“Tease you?” Elena smiled mildly with mockery.
“Elena!” Sofia made a noise by treading the floor and Elena apologized immediately and looked away.
Suddenly, the door bell rang, interrupting their happy conversation. Jacob hesitated for a second and went to the door, “It’s Kent.”
Sofia became agitated first, “Why does he come here? Does he want to take Elena away in front of us?”
Zack stepped forward to protect Sofia.
“Should I meet him?” Elena said quietly.
Logan nodded simply, “Let him in.”
“Ok.”
Jacob went to open the door. Kent walked in fast, glancing at Elena for a moment and looking away, “I want to talk with you privately.”
He said to Logan.
“No way.” Before Logan replied, Elena rejected directly.
“It’s not your business. Logan and I must have a talk.”
Ignoring her reaction, Kent continued, “Logan, do you know why I brought her away? Now I will tell you the reason as long as you do what I want you to do.”
Kent stood straight confidently in the center of the living room, with no allies. It seemed that he had some secrets that they didn’t know.
Elena clenched her hands quietly, unsettled.
The silence lasted for a while and she heard Logan’s answer, “Well, I agree.”
Kent relaxed, less nervous immediately, and had a breathing spell.
“Let’s go to the study. Nobody will hear what we are talking about.”
Logan stayed calm and peacefully. He walked upstairs, followed by Kent who hesitated for a second.
Sofia came to Elena nervously, “I wonder if they will have a fight.”
“That’s impossible. Stop your imagination, dear.” Elena patted her hand.
Sofia bit her lips, “Kent is so weird. What does he think? He brought you away but never hurt you…”
Elena was confused as well and failed to guess out his mind.
Zack whistled behind them, “I think he must harbor some unkind thoughts against Elena so he wants to own her exclusively. But his behaviors are so stupid. I believe no girls or ladies will love such an insane.”
“No. I don’t agree with you.” Elena shook her head, “I can tell that he doesn’t love me.”
She felt that Kent’s behaviors shared some features with Mason’s unexplainably.
