Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 203 Uncertainty

Mason was stunned. There was too much information for him to digest. He didn’t know what happened to Emma and Elena, but before he got the chance to ask her, she had hung up the phone.

Elena took a breath; she was so regretful to answer this call. She knew Mason so well. Why did she still hope that he would take her side?

Sophia could see how unhappy Elena was from her expression, so she made a funny face, trying to cheer Elena up, “Elena, don’t be angry. Look at me, lalala…”

“Puff!” Elena was teased by her. She pinched Sophia’s cheek and said, “You are making me laugh.”

“Hey, hey.” Sophia grinned, “I just want to make you happy.”

Elena looked at her and asked, “What about Zach and you?”

“Well…nothing. Nothing, just as usual.” While talking about Zach, Sophia’s face was darkening.

Elena was a bit shocked, “You haven’t accepted his love, have you?”

She thought they would start dating since Zach did so much for Sophia. But now it seemed that things didn’t go swimmingly between them.

Sophia became angry once they talked about Zach. But she refused to tell the reason. She said to Elena gloomily, “Why should I accept? I don’t like him. I am just a maid working in his house!”

Elena knew Sophia was talking in a fit of pique, so she laughed, “Oh, my dear. Do you believe that he needs a maid to work for him?”

“Or what? You know what! He lives an untidy and messy life! His life will be a disaster if no maid works for him!”

“I tell you a secret.” Elena whispered in Sophia’s ear, something cunning flashing in her eyes.

“Logan and Zach studied abroad years earlier. Logan told me that Zach was good at cooking and taking care of himself…”

“No way?!” Sophia couldn’t believe it, “How could he cook or tidy the house?!”

Elena spread her hands and said, “Well, I am just, you know, saying. Don’t take it seriously. You can skip over it.”

Sophia looked down and began to think. She couldn’t believe what Elena said was true.

As she knew, Zach had nothing to do with tidiness.

Elena could see her hesitation, so she added, “He told us that it was all for you; it was true. He likes you. So if you like him, don’t waste your time.”

“Elena, you don’t understand it…”

Sophia shook her head, looking very sad.

“Why?” Elena didn’t know what she was worried about. She could see Sophia had special feelings for Zach.

“Hey! Don’t worry about us, Elena. Who cares what’s in his mind. I can leave right away if he doesn’t need a maid!”

“Sophia, you don’t understand what I said!” Elena said. She knew that Zach treated the relationship so seriously. But in her eyes, he was just teasing her.

Sophia was looking at her. She wanted to talk but the sentences just couldn’t come out of her mouth.

Elena looked at her, and asked, “You refused him because of Anna, didn’t you?”

Just then, Sophia was frozen, which was a perfect answer for Elena’s question.

Elena understood it now. Nothing could be a barrier between them especially when they both liked each other, except Anna.

Sophia knew that Elena got the answer. She didn’t want to hide it from Elena anymore, so she started to speak, “Well…in fact…she came to me before…”

Elena frowned, “What were you talking about?”

“A lot…” She said, “She told me that Zach liked me on a whim…” But she didn’t continue her sentence. She seemed to be unwilling to talk about it, covering her mouth with her hand.

Elena cupped her face in hands, and asked her in a serious tone, “Do you really think that Zach is teasing you? Or you are just thinking that Zach still loves Anna?”

“I have no idea…”

“Sophia! I know it’s your own choice and I shouldn’t interfere, but I have to tell you!”

Sophia looked at her confusedly. Elena held her face tightly, forcing Sophia to face her, “He wouldn’t have broken up with Anna if he just wanted to make fun of you. Have you even thought about it?”

“I know! But do you know what Anna showed me?”

“What?”

“Their photos!”

Thinking of how close they were in the photos, Sophia was so sad, “I don’t mind he had a relationship with others. It’s normal, isn’t it? But when she showed me the photos, telling me how close they used to be. I really didn’t know what to say. I am not confident enough to tell her that Zach loves me now!”

Sophia threw herself into Elena’s arms, starting to cry, “Elena, can you understand that feeling?”

What Sophia needed now was a sense of safety. But Zach never offered it to her. He asked her to be his girlfriend, but she couldn’t accept it since he said it so casually, like talking about the good weather, which couldn’t convince her.

Elena totally understood why Sophia didn’t agree to be Zach’s girlfriend despite her love for him. She couldn’t do anything but comforted her by patting her shoulder gently.

And Sophia burst into tears, to express how sad and miserable she had been these days.

After a while, she stopped crying and raised her head. She wiped away the tears and looked at Elena embarrassedly, “Sorry…I don’t mean it. I just couldn’t help it.”

Elena shook her head, “It’s OK, Sophia. Crying is good. Don’t keep it bottled up. Don’t let it bother you.”

Sophia was moved, “Thank you, Elena.”

Elena looked at her, then asked, “You think he can’t give you the sense of safety. Why don’t you step out first to tell him?”

“I…I am not brave enough…” Sophia lowered her head. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Elena patted her shoulder, “You don’t have to be brave. Just ask yourself if you are willing to do it. I don’t want you to miss the chance to be happy.”

Now the love she was chasing after was just close for her to get, but she turned a blind eye to it. She was afraid that it was a trap, so she didn’t dare to take a step.
