Chapter 1696 Sophia was startled. "No! I... | was anxious because | wanted to comfort you..." Zachary looked at her coldly. "You've never wantedto regain the ability to walk, do you?" Sophia reached out her hand to try and hold him. "Why would | think that way? You're my husband..." Zachary waved her hand away coldly and said, "Thanks to you, I'm very exhausted after what happened. Could you please be quiet for a while?" Sophia opened her mouth as if to say something, but her expression froze instantly. She had to calm herself down for a moment before closing her mouth and sitting quietly to one side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Zachary said he was 'very exhausted after what happened’, Sophia's mind immediately recalled what happened between him and the female nurse in that special examination room earlier. She becangrier with every passing thought, but she knew she had no right to lose her temper or be jealous since she arranged everything herself.
The ride remained silent until the car stopped in front of the hotel. Sophia approached to help push Zachary's wheelchair out of the car. He neither refused nor did he thank her as he typically would. He simply remained silent and expressionless.
Sophia knew that everything she did that day had thoroughly angered him, so she did not dare to say anything to him. However, she comforted herself in the fact that he was angry because he did not enjoy his twith the nurse. There was nothing else she could do for the moment other than to let Zachary vent his dissatisfaction before placating him a few days later. After all, the doctor got the sample from him, and all she needed to do was conceive Zachary's child. His attitude toward her would surely change by then.
She wheeled Zachary into the hotel while contemplating her plan. She intended to bring him to her father's place to greet him and pick Benjamin up along the way, but nr claimed to feel unwell and did not want to enter Adam's room. He told her to fetch Benjamin instead. Ki ing that Zachary had a ‘tough* day, Sophia decided not to insist upon him to greet Adam and proceeded to go into Adam's room without him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she entered, she saw Adam sitting on the sofa irritatedly. He had a cigar in his mouth and seemed to be displeased as he spoke on the phone. It was not until he hung up the call that Sophia approached him and asked," What happened? Have you located Aunt Melinda and Lilin?" After getting slapped by her father on the previous day, Sophia reflected on her approach and decided to temporarily appease him to secure her inheritance rights. Once she had full control over the assets, she could easily deal with Melinda and Lilin as she saw fit. 1 Adam turned around and looked at her without addressing her question.
He asked with a cigar in his mouth, "You're back? Where's that cripple?" Sophia did not appreciate her father referring to her beloved man that way, "Please don't call Zachary that! He is your son-in-law!" Adam snorted and asked sarcastically, "How's the hospital visit? Can my1 precious’ son-in-law still get hard?" Sophia frowned. "The hospital is highly professional, and everything went smoothly. Please show smore respect to Zachary, Dad." Adam's eyes widened. "You wantto respect him, but does he respect me? If he doesn't even bother to cin and greet his father-in-law, | have no reason to show him any respect." Upon realizing that she could no longer persuade Adam, Sophia sighed and said, "Forget it, Dad. | won't argue with you when you're in a bad mood. Where is Benjamin, by the way? I'll bring him to keep Zachary company.
He's not in a good mood right now."
