The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1720

Adam looked deeply into Sophia's eyes. "I don't need anyone to say anything to me for me to see how Zachary has treated you over the past three years. What I don't get is why you're bending backward to please him."

Sophia looked down and continued washing the vegetables. "Leave me alone, Dad. I know what I want, and I know what I'm doing."

"You're telling me to leave you alone?! Have you forgotten you wouldn't even be able to keep Zachary by your side if I didn't help you out back then? He would've left you a long time ago if he still had his memory! Sophia, it's time for you to face reality and find a man who really loves you!" said Adam frustratedly.

"That's enough!" Sophia threw the vegetables she was washing angrily down on the floor. "Just stop! Zachary and I are fine. I'm not going to leave him, nor am I going to let him leave me! You'll be kissing my cold dead body if you take him away from me!"

"Why you!" Adam was really at a loss on what to do with his stubborn daughter. No parent could ever remain calm when their children are threatening to take their own life.

He did consider letting Jeremy go back to Corinne after talking to Melinda and Lilin. After all, Corinne did save his wife, and he always abided by the sentiment that one must repay kindness where it was due.

Unfortunately, his eldest daughter was his biggest obstacle at that moment. After thinking about it, he decided to give both of them some time to cool off.

"You're not calm right now, so I'm going to give you some time to think about what I just said. I'm leaving now. Enjoy your dinner," he said as he waved goodbye to her. He was afraid Sophia would pick up a kitchen knife and take her life if he pushed her too far.

Sophia glared at Adam as he was walking out of the suite. It took her some time to finally compose herself. She bent down to pick up the vegetables from the floor, and it was only then she noticed Jeremy's bedroom door was open.

She quickly straightened up herself and immediately saw Jeremy sitting in his wheelchair by the door, looking impassively at her.

'When did he come out? Did he hear everything?' wondered Sophia.

"Uh… Hey, Zachary. How was your sleep?" she asked sheepishly.

Sophia could not help but feel anxious when she saw how Jeremy and Bryan were acting, and she thought back to the fight she just had with Adam.

"Zachary, did my father's voice wake you up?" she asked.

Jeremy turned to look at her. "Your father was here?"

His expression was unusually calm. There was not a shred of evidence to show he was lying.

"Yeah. We talked for a while before he left. I thought you guys woke up because my father was talking too loudly," said Sophia skeptically.
