Chapter 216 The Interrupted Kiss
Chapter 216 The Interrupted Kiss
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. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
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.
But Zach was afraid that his mom would embarrass Sophia, so he didn’t move, “No, I won’t go away. I can’t bear to leave Sophia! Let me join your conversation.”
Mrs. Stone said jokingly, “Look at you! So protective!”
Sophia nudged him, “Hey, don’t talk to Mrs. Stone like that!”
“Sophia is so sweet to take my side!” Mrs. Stone said.
Sophia blushed again.
Zach saw Mrs. Stone finish her tea, so he pulled her up and said, “Mom. Let me show you around the city. And I want to buy you some new clothes. Let’s go shopping, shall we?”
“Great idea! Let’s go with Sophia. Let her pick some dresses for me.”
“Well, Sophia doesn’t feel well now. I’ll go with you. Let her stay at home.” Then he quickly went out with Mrs. Stone.
Seeing that they left, Sophia was relaxed, lying on the couch as she wanted.

After nearly a half-day, Mrs. Stone was about to leave. So Zach sent her to the airport. Zach was tired, going back to his home. He saw Sophia sleeping so soundly on the couch.
He smiled, pinching her soft face gently.
Sophia was wakened up by him. She opened her eyes, “Welcome back. Where’s Mrs. Stone?”
“On the way back home. Now she’s at the airport.”
“Why so hurry?” Sophia was shocked, totally awake. “I haven’t said goodbye to her!”
“Don’t worry about that. You’ll meet her soon. By the way, she has no reason staying here.”
Sophia didn’t agree with him, “But it’s too late. Will anyone pick her up?”
“Hey…” Zach felt so warm as she showed her worry to his mother. He embraced her in his arms, patting her back gently, “My sweetie, don’t worry. She has a lot of friends there. What’s more, I’ve told her butler about her flight and time. He will pick her up. Don’t worry.”
Sophia felt relieved then.
Now they were alone in the house and no one would come and disturb them. Zach couldn’t help caressing her as they were so close now.
“What are you doing?!” She glared at him, getting his hands away.
But Zach didn’t give up, grinning, “Hey, we should continue what we left.”
“Rogue!” She jumped out of his embrace, “It’s a terrible idea!”
His smile was collapsing. He looked disappointed now. “Then when can we…kiss again?”
“Again? Don’t even think of it!” She yelled, running upstairs, ignoring his reaction.
She was too shy, running away so fast like a rabbit, which made Zach feel so funny. She was so adorable that he loved her even more.
