"Zachary, it's getting late. Stop playing and go to bed! I'm worried you won't be
able to sleep well on the plane since you'll be taking care of Benjamin alone. You need to have as much rest as you can during these two days."
Zachary raised his eyes and glanced at Sophia. "Okay. Have you finished packing the luggage?"
Sophia nodded. "It's all packed. Your stuff as well as Benjamin's are in the luggage. I asked Dad to arrange for someone to send you two to the airport. Someone will pick you two up at Molomia too." Zachary's expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly. He knew Sophia would not trust him with Benjamin alone and would definitely have someone watch them.
"Let's go to bed, Benjamin," said Zachary as he patted Benjamin-who was staring intently at the chessboard-lightly on the head.
Benjamin was trying to come up with a way to beat Zachary, so he was understandably upset when Sophia came to interrupt them. He glared at her before going back to the bedroom with Zachary. Sophia noticed Benjamin glaring at her, but she decided to let it slide. There were more important things to take care of than teaching the brat a lesson.
What she was most worried about then was the tax investigation. She did not know how long it would take. In other words, she did not know how long it would be before she could see Zachary again. After watching Zachary and Benjamin return to their room, Sophia left for her father's suite to ask if there was any progress.
From their room, Benjamin saw Sophia leaving through the crack in the door. He then frowned in annoyance, turned, and asked, "Daddy, do we have to go back to Molomia? Can we come back after we go? If we can't come back, does that mean I'll never get to see Mommy Corinne again?"
Zachary stroked the little boy's head and said meaningfully, "We'll definitely get to see her again."
Sophia went into her father's suite after knocking on the door. Adam had already returned and was having dinner alone.
Her heart went out to Adam when she saw he was eating alone. "Dad, are you just having dinner? I would've called you over to join us for dinner if I knew you were back."
Adam raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter. "You should save your cooking for your beloved husband and son!"
Sophia walked over helplessly and sat down. "Come on, Dad. Don't be like this! I hope you can be nicer to Zachary!"
Adam scoffed. He did not want to continue on the topic, so he asked, "So why did you come here?"
"Dad, is there any progress in the investigation of the company? When will the restrictions be lifted?"
"It's hard to say."
"What do you mean, it's hard to say? It's not like they have the power to force us to stay here for as long as they like, right?" asked Sophia anxiously.
"There's no need to take that tone with me. I want the investigation to end as soon as possible, too."

Adam scoffed coldly. "Is that necessary? They're not royalty, you know. Why do they need my bodyguards to go with them?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment.
She knew what her father was referring to. "Dad, don't talk to mem about that again it took a lot of effort to keep Zachary by my side, and I will never let him go!" Adam sighed. "Fine. If there's nothing else, you should go back to your room. You're affecting my appetite." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
