NovelEnglishChapter 1555 'Gentle?' Zachary fell silent. He recalled that little girl's hand on his neck that day, and it seemed as though she wanted to strangle him to death. Perhaps gentle was the right word to describe that incident, because at least she did not strangle him to death.

When Sophia entered the room, she immediately saw ‘Benjamin’ talking to Zachary. She had a slightly gloomy look in her eyes, but she nevertheless greeted them with a smile. "Benjamin! You're awake! What are you two chatting about?" Zachary replied, "Nothing much. He toldhe was hungry." Sophia did not suspect a thing and said with a smile, "I was just about to ask what the both of you want for dinner. Our refrigerator is running empty, so | thought of getting sgroceries.” In a rare gesture of gentleness, Zachary looked at her and said, "Don't trouble yourself. You've had a busy day today, so we can just have sroom service." Sophia felt touched by his kindness. "I'll be fine. I'm more than happy to cook for you and Benjamin." Zachary replied, "There's always tomorrow. You should get smore rest after a busy day out. Besides, Benjamin said he's hungry now, so it'd be quicker for you to order food from the hotel." Sophia's smile froze right away. She thought that Zachary was concerned about her, but she soon realized that his main concern was that she might take too long to cook a meal for ‘Benjamin’. "Okay. I'll ask the hotel to send up sof Benjamin's favorite food." Zachary nodded.
Sophia prepared to call the hotel, but the boy's presencepegs like a thorn in the flesh for her.

Well go order sroom service." Bryan remained close to Zachary and ignored Sophia.
Worried that Sophia might have any suspicions, Zachary raised his hand and rubbed Bryan's head. "Go ahead, ‘Benjamin’. Just tell the hotel staff what you want, and they'll bring it up for you. Order sbeef pasta for me, too." "Okay." Bryan nodded obediently at long last and walked toward Sophia with a swagger. "I'll go with you!" Sophia wanted to slap him, but she could not do so as she wished because the child was not Benjamin. As a result, she could only quell her irritation and keep smiling. "Okay, cwith me!" Zachary narrowed his eyes as he watched Bryan leave with Sophia. He then turned his attention to the balcony, in particular the wicker chair he knocked over during his physiotherapy exercises. Fortunately, Sophia did not notice it.
Sophia brought the child to the phone, but she stared at the child with a sly smile instead of dialing the hotel's room service number. "Why are you so reluctant to be aroundnowadays?" Bryan stared back at Sophia and replied angrily, "Have | ever been super excited to be around you?"
