Chapter 172 Sophia Gave up on Zach


    Once Anna returned home, Zach received the call from Mrs. Lee immediately. And what she said on


    the phone was all about scolding Elena.


    “Zach, don’t you agree? Elena has gone too far this time! Yeah, I know Anna did something wrong, but


    she didn’t deserve such punishment! And she fainted as soon as she got home! And she hasn’te


    to sense yet!”


    Zach felt impatient, and said perfunctorily, “Mrs. Lee, since you know Anna has done something wrong,


    you should agree that she deserves it.”


    He knew Logan so well. It was the best result for Anna. Logan had shown enough mercy to Anna, or it


    wouldn’t have ended so easily.


    “Why are you defending them! You are Anna’s boyfriend!” Mrs. Lee said in an unhappy tone.


    “I just said what I thought was right. Don''t take this personally.”


    “Forget it. I know that Logan and you are friends. I don’t want to force you to take a side. But you


    shoulde to see Anna at least. I am afraid she needs you so much now.”


    Zach answered with hesitation, “I will.”


    Mrs. Lee sighed, “I never expected that Anna did such a stupid thing for Logan. If I knew it, I would


    have stopped her! But thankfully, she has you now, and I’m relieved.”


    “Mrs. Lee, I have things to do now. Please take care of Anna. I will visit her tomorrow.” Zach didn’t want


    to proceed this conversation anymore and found an excuse to end this conversation.


    Mrs. Lee had no doubts at all. As a young man, Zach must be busy doing his business. So she didn’t


    bother him too much and hung up the phone.


    As soon as Zach hung up, he went back to his house.


    Zach noticed something unusual as soon as he entered his house.


    A thought urred to him. He couldn’t wait to prove it. So he strode into the living room. And as he


    expected, twodies were sitting on the couch; one was his mother and the other, was Sophia!


    “Why...” Zach touched his nose, “Why are you here?”


    “Hey Zach. I called Sophia here. It’s none of your business!” Mrs. Stone waved her arm and said in an


    impatient tone.


    Zach was hopeless, “Mom,e on, it’s my home.”


    “It’s my home too! So you mean that I can’t invite my own guest in my house?”


    Sophia put down the tea cup and stood up. She felt awkward, murmuring with embarrassment, “Well, I


    don’t mean to be here. But Mrs. Stone said she didn’t feel very well, and you are not at home, so I ...”


    The fact was, she just arrived here and took a seat. The next second he came back. What a


    coincidence!


    In fact, when she saw Zach, she realized Mrs. Stone might ask her here on purpose.


    “Just ignore him, girl. He didn’te back yesterday and stayed outside for a whole day! He even


    seldom visited me when I was in hospital! I thought he might not care about me at all. Who he cared


    about the most was someone else!”


    Mrs. Stone wasining. Apparently, “someone else” was Anna.


    Zach ignored her and said to Sophia, “Help yourself. You can stay as longer as you want. I’ll go


    upstairs.”


    “No, it’ste. I’ll go home now.” Sophia hurriedly picked up her handbag, nodded at Mrs. Stone, and


    fled away after saying goodbye.


    She was in such a hurry, as if she just met a monster in the forest and tried to run away.


    While Zach just stood there, not sure what he should do right now.


    Mrs. Stone pushed him,ining, “Oh! My silly boy! Why are you still standing here! You should


    send her home!”


    “What?” Zach didn’t realize what his mother meant.


    Mrs. Stone stamped her foot in anger, “It’ste now! Do you think it’s safe for a girl to go home alone at


    night? And I invited her here! What if she is in danger! Are you unwilling to send her home now?”


    Zach ran out of the vi at once, trying to catch up with Sophia.


    This neighborhood was quite quiet and distant. Sophia had to walk to hail a taxi for herself.


    Thankfully, Zach saw Sophia walking on the road. He drove his car closer to Sophia, and pulled over,


    “Hey,e on. I’ll drive you home.”


    Sophia gave a quick nce, then looked away, “No, thanks. I can go home by myself.”


    “Come on! Don’t make things difficult. Get into my car, now!”


    Sophia was irritated by him, determined to refuse, “No, I won’t! Just leave me alone! I don’t give a shit!”


    She strode forward without looking at him.


    Zach felt annoyed. Seeing she walking away, he had no choice but to get off his car and ran to her,


    “Why can’t you listen to me for once? Don’t be unreasonable. Not everyone lives here is nice or kind


    like me! Maybe the next minute you will be harassed by a yboy! It’s dangerous!”


    “Excuse me, you said you were nice or kind? Come on, don’t tter yourself!” Sophia turned to look at


    him with contempt in her eyes.


    “...”


    Knowing that she was angry with him, Zach tried to be patient, “Well, well, it’s all my fault, my queen!


    Will you allow me to send you home, please? It’s not safe for you to go home alone.”


    As he was talking to her, he pulled her arm and led her getting into his car. However, Sophia shook off


    his hand, and yelled out suddenly, “Zach, stop annoying me!”


    Zach was frozen, staring at her nkly. He wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw her


    crying.


    Sophia finally copsed and squatted on the ground in tears, “Zach, please! Don’t be nice to me! Don’t


    worry about me! Don’t make me confused! I want to kick you out of my life. I tried to stop thinking about


    you! But why are you alwaysing to me?!”

    He whispered, “Sophia...”


    “Zach! That’s enough! Don’t get close to me if you don’t like me! I could totally live a happy life alone!


    Why do youe into my life?!”


    “Sophia, get into the car first.” He tried to pull her up.


    Sophia stood up abruptly and pushed him away, “Enough!” She shook her head and stepped back,


    quickly wiping away the tears on her face, and saying, “Sorry, I just lost my mind. I hope you don’t


    mind. Don’t worry about it.”


    After she finished the sentence, she bit her lip and turned around, but she couldn’t control herself and


    cried again.


    As he saw her leaving, the feeling of losing her overwhelmed him. The heartache made him hard to


    breathe.


    Sophia strode forward with her head high. Her cheeks were bathed in tears. She told herself not to turn


    around, and not to be soft on him!


    Elena was right; it was no good getting close to him!


    “Ahh!”


    While she was thinking about it, she was so shocked that she was carried by Zach. The next moment,


    Zach walked towards his car with her.
