Chapter 1614
Meanwhile, at the hotel suite, Jeremy suddenly sneezed." Achoo!"
Sophia, who just cback from meeting with her father, happened to hear it and looked worried. "Zachary,
why are you sneezing? Didn't you already take the cold medicine? You should be getting better by now."
As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and touched Jeremy's forehead. It was not hot.
Jeremy raised his hand and gently pushed her hand away. "I'm okay. It's just that my nose is a little itchy. Maybe
it's because of the dust in the air." "Oh, thank god. I'll ask housekeeping to clean our room again later so well get
rid of the dust in here," said Sophia with relief.
"Okay."

Sophia looked at the child, who was asleep on the bed and holding his toy." Benjamin's sleeping again? All that
kid does is play, eat, and sleep!"
Jeremy, too, glanced at the sleeping child on the bed. He then frowned and, with a somewhat accusatory tone,
asked, "Why did you just let him cback here alone? What if he ran out of the hotel?"
Sophia was a little taken aback. She then looked embarrassed. "Uh... | was busy talking to my father at the time,
but Benjamin insisted on coming back to find you..."
Suddenly, she had an idea, so she added, "But | didn't let him run back alone! | asked Lilin to send him back!
Zachary, didn't you see Lilin?"
Jeremy frowned. "No."
Sophia sighed with mock anger. "Lilin must've gone back after dropping Benjamin at the door. Zachary, Benjamin
is also my child, so it's only natural | worry about his safety, too." "Don't let the sthing happen again. Lilin is
still a child herself! What if the two of them suddenly had the bright idea to run out of the hotel together? It'll be
too late if they get kidnapped or hit by a car!"
Sophia pretended to look guilty. "You're right, Zachary. | was so happy to see my dad that | didn't even think
about it." "Our son is now at the age where he doesn't think through the consequences. You must always keep
your eyes on him. | wish | could help you, but | can't move around as easily as you do! | wouldn't have put all this
responsibility on you alone otherwise."
Sophia nodded. "Zachary, | understand! Please don't be angry. I'll definitely keep a better eye on him from now
on."
Jeremy had always been cold to her, and she was used to it. However, she could not help but overthink there
was another reason why he was so stern and unhappy about letting Benjamin cback to the suite alone.

back?" she asked cautiously.
Jeremy raised his eyes and stared at her intently. "What makes you think he said something to me?"
Sophia felt that Jeremy was suddenly so upset with her because Benjamin badmouthed her after he cback.
'Zachary's definitely going to hateif | pretend nothing happened,’ she thought.
Thus, she said sadly, "Fine, | admit | did lecture him when | was with Dad. But that's because he was really rude
to Dad. | can tolerate it when he's rude tobecause he's my kid, but Dad immediately got angry and lectured
spanking, so | pretended to scold Benjamin to appease him. So what I'm asking is, did Benjamin tell you what
happened after he cback?"
Every word that cout of Sophia's lips was a lie. She had no qualms about playing the victim if it meant that
it would get Jeremy to love her.
