Chapter 248 Kent’s Attempt


    Sophia agreed to work for Charlie. But since something was not ready, she didn’t need to work at once.


    She had to stand by at home and she was a bit bored now. Sophia was so happy that Elena came to


    visit her. She was so eager to go out.


    Elena was smiling, “Look at you. You seem to stay at home for a century.”


    “Ohh! You don’t know!” Thinking of that, Sophia couldn’t helpining, “Zach is following me all day


    long! He won’t let me out. Only when I am with you and Logan does he let go of me. He is super clingy!


    Thankfully, Logan goes on a business trip with Zach. Otherwise, we have to go out with him today!”


    “That’s because he can’t bear to leave you.”


    “Oh,e on! I don’t need it! It’s so annoying!” Sophia said.


    Elena studied her face, “Really? But your expression tells me another story.” said Elena, sounding


    amused.


    Sophia subconsciously touched her face. Then she realized that Elena was making fun of her. Her face


    was blushing, “Elena! Don’t lie to me!”


    “No, I don’t. But you lied to me. You tell me that Zach is so annoying; in fact, you miss him so much,


    don’t you?”


    Sophia kept talking about Zach all the way; everyone could tell how much she missed Zach from her


    facial expression.


    Sophia felt unhappy because she was fathomed by Elena.


    Elena pinched her cheek, “Don’t lie to me, okay? It’s not shameful to admit you miss your boyfriend.”


    “Okay…” Sophia said.


    They walked into a shopping mall. Sophia said, “Hey, let’s buy some clothes for your baby. It’s on me!”


    “Don’t you think it is too early? We even don’t know its gender!”


    “Come on, don’t be that serious. We can pick the clothes for both boys and girls,” said Sophia, pulling


    Elena into a shop selling baby products. Elena was attracted by the baby garment and cute toys.


    And Sophia was obsessed with the stuff in this shop. She couldn’t control her excitement and


    screamed. “Oh my! They are so cute!”


    She embraced a bundle of clothes and showed them to Elena, saying happily, “Hey, look at the clothes.


    So cute! I bet your baby will like it very much!”


    Elena thought she got too many clothes. But it was hard for them to part with any one of them.


    Suddenly, someone patted Elena’s shoulder.


    “Elena.”


    “Yes?” She turned around to see the man. While she saw him, she was dumbfounded. “You…”


    “What’s wrong? You know him?” Sophia looked at the man, asking.


    Kent grinned, “Hi. I am a friend of hers.”


    “Why are you here?!” Elena’s face was darkening. She hadn’t met him since they had a very


    unpleasant conversationst time.


    “Come on. It’s been so long. I’d love to catch up. Don’t treat me as a beast or something horrible. I will


    feel hurt.” Kent covered his chest with his hand, acting that he was so sad.


    “What do you want to do!? I won’t let you hurt Elena!” Sophia quickly stood in front of Elena to protect


    her.


    That was so sweet. Elena pulled her hand, “It’s okay. He won’t do anything to me. People are watching


    him.”


    Kent smiled at her, “You are right. I can’t do anything to you in such a public ce. Well, would you like


    to have a cup of coffee with me,dies?”


    “No, thanks.” Elena held Sophia’s hand tightly and was about to leave with her.


    But Kent wouldn’t let them go. He stopped them, saying in an unpleasant tone, “It’s not up to you,


    Elena. You’d better go with me.”


    He sped her wrist which made Elena ufortable. She had no choice but to agree, “Okay, go.”


    “Elena!” Sophia said worriedly.


    “It’s okay.” She patted Sophia’s hand, “Stay in a café nearby; I will be back soon.”


    “No way!” Sophia insisted, “I must go with you!”


    Kent shrugged his shoulder, “She cane with you. But make sure that she won’t hear our


    conversation.”


    Sophia nodded, “I promise I won''t.”


    Kent studied her face, wanting to find out if she was reliable. “Give me your phones. I will return them


    to you as our conversation ends. I don’t want anyone to interrupt us.”


    “Stop it. You took your chance and came to me because Logan isn’t around. No one can interrupt you.


    Come on, don’t beat about the bush. Just tell me what you want to say. Don’t waste my time.”


    Kent didn’t say a word, taking them out of the shop. Sophia went with Elena nervously. She was so


    afraid that Kent would do anything bad to Elena.


    Kent said jokingly, “Come on, don’t be that serious. I won’t kill you. What’s more, I am Elena’s friend. I


    won’t hurt her.”


    “I don’t believe you!” Sophia snorted.


    Kent spread his hand, “Okay. I don’t mind.”


    Sophia held Elena’s hand even more tightly. She kept saying, “Elena! Don’t trust that guy! If he dares to


    do anything bad to you, we must call the police at once!”


    “Don’t worry. Just wait and see.”

    Elena patted her hand andforted her again and again. However, Sophia couldn’tpose herself.


    She wanted to call Zach for help; but he was just in G city, really far away from them.


    They entered a café nearby. Sophia sat at another table which was a bit far so she couldn’t hear what


    they said. She was anxious but unable to do anything.


    Elena leaned back to the chair, touching her belly subconsciously, “What do you want to say?”


    “I want to give you another chance; just leave H city with me. I can protect you for the rest of your life. I


    promise you won’t…”


    “Kent!” Elena stopped him, ring at him with dark eyes, “You try to persuade me to leave H city with


    you again and again. What’s your intention? What are you hiding from me? Make your point, okay?


    Don’t waste my time.”
