Being speechless and knowing that he could not stop her, Zack sighed, “If you insist, I hope that you talk with Logan about it first. He must know what to do.”
Elena nodded.
While they were talking, Logan and Kent came downstairs. Before Kent left, he gave Elena a meaningful glance.
Elena smiled at him, which annoyed him who then left quickly with anger.
Zack asked curiously, “What did he tell you?”
“Are you curious?”
“Yes, absolutely. I have spent days and nights figuring out what he wants.”
Logan didn’t answer him. He was smothering Elena’s hands and touching her flat abdomen gently. “Do you have any questions?” He asked Elena.
“If I have, will you tell me the answers?” Elena asked directly.
Logan paused and shook his head, “No.”
If he could, he hoped that she would never know about what happened.
Elena bit her lips unhappily, “Alright. I won’t ask you any question. Any.”
“I am kidding, honey. I just want to see you worried, sometimes.” He chuckled and stood up, patting her head, “To know it won’t do any good to you. So I think you had better not continue your investigation.”
Elena was confused and agitated, “Why?”
“There’s no need to know.” Logan said quietly with tenderness but rather determinedly.
Hearing their conversation, Zack swallowed the words that he was going to say.
If Logan was unwilling to tell her, nobody could know anything from him.
Noticing that Elena was worried and anxious, Logan reassured her softly, “Don’t be so unhappy. I have a reason.”
“Well…”
Although she understood him, she could not help being curious at the reason why Kent took her away.
But naturally, she would not be replied by Logan.
Zack sighed slightly and came closer to Logan, whispering in a quite low voice, “You should explain to her in details so she won’t fill her head with all sorts of guesses.”
Then he patted his shoulder, “We came here to visit her. Since she is well, we are relieved.”
“Are you leaving?” Elena was distracted by his words which was a little surprising to her.
Zack nodded immediately, “Yes. We have to come back quickly and make our preparation.”
“Preparation?”
Elena was puzzled totally. At the glance of Sofia’s flushed face, she was completely curious.
Zack became visibly vigorous and showed off, “We are prepared to visit Sofia’s parents.”
Hearing this, his mother was furious, “He bullies you? How? Tell me. I will always stand by your side!”
Being maligned, Zack saw Sofia’s crafty look before he defended himself.
Then he gave them a bright smile and said, “Mom, it’s our privacy. Don’t ask us about that.”
His mother was stupefied. She looked at Sofia and her son, seeming to understand something.
“Oh I know what you mean!” She clapped hands in delight, “Sofia, I know he is a bad guy. But I cannot blame his for… So, you know, I cannot intervene you.”
Sofia was stupefied by them and realized what they referred to with a flushed face, “Zack, what did you say?!”
“I admit that I have bullied you.” Zack looked at her innocently.
Sofia was annoyed and his mother was shielded from the truth. She urged them, “OK. You are a lovely couple. Get out of here. I am cooking for her parents. Don’t disturb me.”
“No, Mrs. Stone, I think you must misunderstand…”
Sofia was about to explain but Mrs. Stone didn’t listen to her at all and pushed them away, “Leave the kitchen. I am very busy now. I don’t want to give Sofia’s parents a bad impression.”
“That’s it. My dear wife, let’s stay in the living room.”
Zack nodded, holding her shoulders to walk towards the door, and said, “We can call your father now to ask where he is.”
Sofia was outraged and scolded him quietly, “Zack, you are shameless!”
