Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 168

Zach was shocked by her yelling. She kept approaching him, “Don’t you remember? It’s you who forced me to leave Logan! Do you remember what happened to me?”

She could see his feelings in his eyes, and suddenly she smiled, “It seems that you remember it just very well. In that case, how can you blame me?”

“That can’t be your excuse to hurt Elena!” He clenched his fists. His body was tense because of anger.

“Why not?” Anna didn’t think that she had done something bad. “If I never went abroad, I should have married Logan. Elena would never have the chance!”

“It’s not up to you, Anna! And there’s no “Restart” button in the world! You must face the reality!”

“Shut up!” Anna roared, staring at him, “Zach, you are the last person in the world who should blame me!”

“Anna...stop it. I will beg for Logan’s forgiveness for you this time. Just let them go, and stop this bullshit.” Zach whispered with a heavy heart.

Anna snorted, but answered quickly, “Okay.”

“Really?” Zach was so surprised for he didn’t expect that she would agree so easily.

Anna said calmly, “Of course. I shouldn’t want someone who doesn’t love me. I need love and I want to be loved. Zach, I really want to start over with a new life with you.”

But Zach felt uncertain, while she held his arm closely, “Zach, I promise you. OK?”

He quickly avoided her hands. He rubbed his aching temple and said perfunctorily, “Let me think about it. We need to calm down now.”

Anna was frozen, for she didn’t expect that he just refused her.

“Zach...”

“Could you go home now? We will talk about it later.” He said indifferently.

But Anna just stood there, looking at him with grudge, “Is it because of Sophia?”

Zach was a little confused, “What does it have to do with her?”

“Oh, really?” Anna asked, “I saw that you were so nice to her on Logan’s birthday. And you cared about her so much. Don’t tell me she is just your friend!”

“It has nothing to do with her. Don’t think too much.” Zach said with a stern face.

Seeing his unusual attitude, Anna was so sure she was right, “Zach, stop lying to me. You are not just friends. I can feel it!”

“She’s Elena’s friend. I should take care of her, shouldn’t I? We are just friends! Nothing is going on between us!”

“Nothing!?” Anna looked at him coldly, “Can you look into my eyes and swear you have no feelings for her? Can you?”

“Anna!” Zach became angry, “You’re being ridiculous!”

“OK.” Anna shrugged, “I won’t force you if you don’t want to talk about it. And I never want to fight with a little girl. But, if she gets in my way, don’t blame me for doing anything.”

Now Zach was sullen.

But Anna didn’t stop, “I know what you are thinking. But don’t forget that you owe me, and you have to pay it back for the rest of your life!” After finishing the sentence, Anna left without looking back.

Hearing her last threat, Zach felt even depressed. He was sitting without saying anything. No one could tell what he was thinking now.

When Elena and Logan returned, it was windy and cold. She could feel how freezing the winter was in H city.

Zach picked them up and drove them home. He looked quite different today. He looked thinner just in a few days, which shocked Elena. “Zach, are you taking drugs to lose weight?”

Zach didn’t feel funny, “Elena, don’t make fun of me, please.”

“What’s wrong with you?” she was puzzled. She suddenly remembered the call from him before boarding, so she looked at Logan and wanted to know what happened.

They all got into the car, then Zach gave them a file, “You will know everything after reading it.”

He started the car as he said, “Anna secretly came back half a year ago. Just after Logan got married. And it was Anna who bought Bianca off. All the transaction records have been sorted out, and I also seem to find out who contacted Bianca from Anna’s call log.”

Elena tried to stay calm while listening to Zach, but she pinched her hands in shock and anger, “So she did all these just because Logan married me?”

Zach took a deep breath, “Perhaps.”

“Where is she now?” Logan’s expression was cold.

Zach went nervous and said hurriedly, “Didn’t you agree to let me take care of this by myself?”

Logan stared at him with anger, “Then tell me how you will take care of this.”

His question was so hard for Zach to answer. So he just kept silent with his head down. “Logan, don’t push me...”

“Zach, do you really know what you want?” Logan asked him while he checked the files. He could understand Zach’s struggle and confusion.

Zach didn’t know the answer. That was why he got more irritated and the car was driving so fast on the road.

Logan glanced at him and warned, “Be careful. I don’t want to have a car accident again.”

Zach was even more depressed when he heard his warning. And he had to slow down.

Elena heard their conversation and couldn’t help looking at Logan with care, “Your legs were hurt in a car accident?”

“Yes.”

“What happened to the other driver?” she asked anxiously.

“Died on the spot. He was drunk and had no family.” Logan answered in a cold tone. Her question reminded him of the terrible accident which caused him unable to walk from then on. Now he looked very gloomy, refusing to talk about it.

Elena felt sad to see this and comforted him by holding his hand tightly.

It was the first time that she knew this accident. It must be so horrible and tragic. The driver died on the spot. An idea occurred to her that maybe someone was aimed to kill Logan in the first place.

Thinking of this, she was trembling in fear.

Logan sensed her fear and worry, “What are you thinking? Don’t be upset. It’s all over.”

“No, nothing...” She shook her head.

Logan smiled and hugged her in his arms, trying to comfort her.

From the mirror, Zach could see Logan’s deep affection for Elena. Compared with them, Anna and he were just like enemies.

He could never accept what Anna did. However, Anna didn’t realize her mistake or try to stop. She just used him as her boyfriend so that she could fool the Lees and the Browns for her secret plan. Now things were just so complicated between them...
