The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1756

Benjamin nodded. He knew Corinne had her problems, so he decided he would be understanding.

Corinne truly wished Benjamin could stay by her side, but the situation did not allow it. She could not bear to let Benjamin just watch them play outside while he was out of the loop, so she said to Zachary, "Hey, it's too noisy around here, and I can't hear you clearly. Let's stop for now. Bye!"

Their video call ended.

'How dare she hang up just like that? She hasn't even clarified whether or not she's with Jason!' thought Zachary while staring at the phone screen.

Benjamin tugged at his father's clothes with his tiny cute hand and whispered, "Daddy, I think Sophia is back!"

Zachary snapped back to the present, got back to the wheelchair, and cleared all the records from his phone.

When Sophia pushed the door open, she only saw Zachary picking out loungewear for Benjamin from the wardrobe. Troubled by the travel restrictions, she remained oblivious to any peculiar behavior from her husband.

"Zachary, are you hungry? Should I get the hotel to send up some of your and Benjamin's favorite dishes? I'm a bit worn out today and not in the mood to cook."

Zachary nodded. "Yeah, just go for a rest if you're tired. We're fine with whatever you order."

"Alright, I'll call room service," replied Sophia absent-mindedly as she walked away.

Zachary took out a tank top and shorts from the wardrobe for Benjamin, instructing him to change on his own.

He then maneuvered the wheelchair out of the room. He narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what might have happened to Sophia when he saw her sitting alone on the sofa looking unusually weary and sighing deeply.

He wheeled himself over and asked, "What's wrong? You look pale. Did something happen to your father?"

"You're going to bring Benjamin back first? You're not going to stay here with me?" asked Sophia in shock.

Zachary smiled wryly. "It's not like I can help you with anything, given my current situation. Plus, your father doesn't like me. He thinks I'm an eyesore. Wouldn't it be better for me to go back with Benjamin back first? This way, you can fully focus on dealing with the tax issues."

Sophia's eyes flickered as she looked at Zachary hesitantly. "But..."

Zachary cut in, "But what? Is the company issue really that complicated? Will it take a super long time?"

Sophia shook her head. "No, not really."

"Then it shouldn't be a big deal for me and Benjamin to head back first. We're not really settling in well here."
