Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 143

After a while, Zach said, “I will continue this investigation. And I think Kent must know something. I will start from him. As for more details, I will tell you once I get them.”

Jacob nodded, “Then I will start from Emma.”

Elena frowned. Suddenly an idea occurred to her. She grasped Sophia’s hand, “Did you send a recording to me before?”

“A recording?” Sophia looked at her. Then her words rang a bell, “Yes. I happened to see that Emma talked with her friend in a café.”

“What do you want to do?” Logan could see her cunning look on her face.

Elena smiled, “Maybe I can make Emma tell the truth.”

Logan frowned, showing his disagreement, but Elena held his arm, “I will go to visit Emma tomorrow, alone. You don’t have to go with me. I will handle it myself.”

“No.” He utterly refused Elena’s idea. He wouldn’t let her meet Emma alone.

Elena tried to persuade him, “Just once! I will never risk myself.”

Logan didn’t answer. But he knew she couldn’t always hide behind him, enjoying his protection for granted. After a while, he finally agreed, “OK. I will ask Jacob to send you there.”

“Yeah!” She was nodding happily.

Zach thought it was time for them to leave, so he pulled Sophia up and said, “I think it’s time to go. I should send her home first.”

“Wait a minute.” Elena said, “You’d better stay and wait. It’s snowing now. And it’s dangerous to drive on the road.”

Zach released Sophia’s hand and looked at Elena, then he said with a smile, “Oh! You are so nice!”

Then he wanted to give her a hug. However, Logan stared at him coldly, which stopped him at once. He gave up hugging Elena and fell down on the couch.

Watching their interaction, Elena felt somewhat funny. Sophia also wanted to tease him. But Zach was in a good mood, moving closer towards Elena. “Elena, I feel so grateful that you are not angry with me. Before that, I kept thinking how to make you forgive me.”

In fact, he was afraid that Elena would be angry with him and ignored him from then on.

“You deserve it.” Elena said, standing up and walking into the kitchen to get some snacks for them.

Zach walked into the kitchen after her. Elena stopped and turned around, asking, “What’s the matter with Sophia and you? Why did you take her home to visit your mother? Anna is your girlfriend, isn’t she?”

“Elena…I…” Zach didn’t know what to say, “Anyway, it’s hard to explain…”

“You broke up with her?”

“No.” They didn’t break up. And that made him anxious.

Elena didn’t know what he was thinking now. She just reminded him, “Well, I don’t care if you will break up with Anna or not. But I have to tell you.”

Zach lowered his head, listening carefully.

“Sophia is a kind and nice girl. And she is naive. Don’t try to get her hurt. She doesn’t know about you and I don’t see her hurt. You know what I mean, right?”

After all, Sophia was so kind and sincere to her. She wanted her to be happy forever.

“Elena. Don’t worry. I have no interest in her! It was a coincidence that I hired her.” He said to her honestly.

Elena felt relieved, and passed the snacks to him, “Take this outside, please.”

Zach grinned, taking the snacks and running to the living room.

Sophia didn’t eat anything till this moment and thus she was so hungry now. Her stomach grumbled when she saw the delicious food. It was a little bit embarrassing for her.

“Aha, little pig!” Zach gave her a wry look, but he put all the snacks before her.

Sophia couldn’t wait to have a taste.

After they went home. Elena and Logan went back to the bedroom. She was sitting on the bed with legs crossing and she looked serious, “You owe me an explanation!”

Logan knew she would ask him about it, so he moved his wheelchair to their bed. “Just ask me whatever you want to know. I will tell you all about it.”

She bit her bottom lip, “When did you know it?”

“Before Emma told you.”

“Why didn’t you tell me after you knew it?” She asked and couldn’t help crying.

Logan opened his arms wide, “Come here.”

She shook her head and refused, “No. Just explain to me!”

Logan put down his arms with a sigh, “I don’t want you to get hurt. And I want to protect you.”

“But I will know it sooner or later…” She moved towards him, then stopped. She lowered her head, “I am not complaining that you hid it from me. But I hope you told me the truth instead of others. Can you understand my feelings?”

In the world, he was the only one she could trust. If he lied to her, who could she trust?

Logan understood how she felt. He embraced her in arms to comfort her. They were so close that she could hear his heartbeat. She felt a sense of safety and calmed down at once.

“It’s my fault. I am so sorry that I neglected your feelings this time.” He embraced her even more tightly, saying with guilty. “No matter who you are, for me, you are Elena, my wife!”

Hearing his confession, she was moved and couldn’t help crying. She was truly lucky to have him, her husband.

Logan lifted her face and kissed her on her tears, “I know what you are suffering. And I know how you are feeling. But I don’t want you to be trapped in your past. It’s not a predicament. It’s just one of barriers in your life. If you are brave enough, you can get over it! It won’t hurt you then.”

Elena nodded, and embraced him with her arms. “Sorry, I don’t mean to doubt you.”

“I know.” he answered. He caressed her hair with tenderness.

Elena looked at his dark eyes, and was obsessed with him. She thought that he was a complicated man. It was hard for her to understand him well. But thinking back, though he seldom shared his ideas with her, he always protected her in his own way.
