The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1552

"But there isn't—"

"Let's go," Aaron cut Annie off and stood up before going over to hold her hand.

"Where are we going?" Annie was lifted from her seat.

Aaron smiled and said, "To your home!"

"What?!" Annie's eyes widened. She then thought to herself, 'Doesn't he feel an ounce of shame?'

Back at the Holdens, Corinne contacted a certain secret number and used advanced encryption methods to send a text.

[She doesn't suspect me of knowing what I know. I can cooperate with you during this time, but in the meantime, you must take good care of my son. I'm trusting you, so don't let me down again!]

A reply came several minutes later. [He's my son too, so you can rest assured I'll take care of him. Please extend the same courtesy to me for Benjamin.]

After replying to this message, Zachary deleted the conversation history from his phone and glanced at the computer screen. Inside a secret inbox, he received an email from a rehabilitation doctor with detailed instructions and various other advice of note.

Zachary went through it rapidly, memorized the instructions, and closed the computer. After glancing tenderly at Bryan napping on the bed, Zachary wheeled himself to the bedroom balcony. He then proceeded to stand up and commence his physiotherapy exercises according to the doctor's instructions.

It was already 4 p.m. when Sophia returned to the hotel. As soon as she entered, she sat on the sofa with a troubled expression. After resting for a while, she looked around and realized that neither Zachary nor 'Benjamin' were in the living room. She frowned and called out in the direction of the bedroom, "Zachary, I'm back!"

Zachary's expression turned sullen, but he tried to comfort her in as neutral a tone as possible. "There's no need to rush this. Everything takes time."

Sophia came closer to him and said, "But I want to go back to Molomia as soon as possible! Dad bought a small island for the two of us, and he's already planning a spectacular wedding! I want our family to live worry-free on our island."

Zachary was not as enthusiastic about the island as her, and his mood at that moment remained an enigma. "The island isn't going anywhere, so you don't need to be in such a hurry. We need to resolve everything before we return."

Sophia felt a little disappointed, wondering when she would finally be able to see a slightly different emotion from him.

Then, Sophia asked, "Is Benjamin still asleep?"
