Jeremy shook his head. "I didn't hear anyone talking, but I did hear someone closing the door loudly. That was what woke up Benjamin and me."
Sophia recalled Adam did indeed close the door heavily when he went out. 'Oh, so that was what woke them up. That means Zachary must've not heard what Dad said,' she thought. She was afraid that Jeremy would overthink if he had heard what Adam said.
"Well, that's how Dad is. He does everything very roughly. Sorry for waking up you two," said Sophia with an apologetic smile.
Jeremy shook his head. "It's okay. Why didn't you ask your father to stay for dinner?"
A hint of anger flashed across her face when she recalled the fight she had with her father. "Oh, he said he has other plans."
"Okay," said Jeremy. He did not really care whether Adam stayed for dinner or not. He asked because he wanted to dispel Sophia's suspicion.
Sophia sighed in relief. "Zachary, why don't you go watch telly with Benjamin for a while? Dinner will be ready soon."
"Sure."
Francine hurried out of her chauffeured car and ran into a coffee house. Chester had been waiting for her there for an hour, and he had already finished two cups of coffee.
"So... Sorry, Chester! I know I'm late again," said Francine between gasps of breath. She did not even dare to sit.
Chester looked up at her dolled-up face and smiled. "It's okay. Why don't you take a seat and catch your breath first? I've already ordered a glass of lemon water for you. You can order whatever dessert you want later."
Francine nodded and sat down. Looking at Chester's gentle face, she sometimes wished she was as unflappable as he was. He was probably the most
emotionally stable person she had ever met. Unlike her, he did not seem to ever get rattled by anything.
"Here comes your lemon water. Drink up," said Chester, putting the glass of lemon water in front of her.
Francine picked up the glass of lemon water and took a small sip before saying apologetically, "Thank you for not getting angry at me for making you wait so long."
Chester smiled. "I understand you girls need some time to doll up. Plus, you were helping Corinne with her kids too, right? It's not like you deliberately made me wait."
Francine blushed. "What have I done to deserve such an understanding boyfriend like you?"
