The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1654

Sophia covered the cheek Adam slapped. "Of course not! You, all of people, should know how strong my dad is! My ears are still ringing."

Zachary narrowed his eyes. "Me of all people? Has he hit me before?"

Sophia froze for a moment and explained her slip of the tongue, "No! Never! Why would he? I'm just saying that you should know how strong a man's strength is! You're both men, after all."

Zachary knew certain titbits of information, even though he had yet to recover his memory. He responded to her as he always did and said indifferently, "You can put some ice on your cheek when we get back. I'm sure it'll help with the pain."

Sophia was disappointed. "Don't you understand? I don't want ice! I want you to show concern for me! Can't you at least show me that you care? Don't be so distant from me even when you're trying to comfort me."

Zachary cocked his eyebrows and grew a little impatient. "What kind of attitude do you expect me to show you? Everything that is happening right now is the result of your actions. Your father wouldn't have slapped you if you had just kept quiet."

"Is that how I am to you, too?" Sophia asked with a sour expression.

Zachary was no longer tactful with her. "Sometimes, it seems like you're creating problems out of thin air. Your father traveled a long way with his wife and daughter to see you, but all you did was put him in a difficult position and have him put up with your antics. I'd be upset too if I were in his shoes."

Sophia felt embarrassed. "Zachary, I..."

Zachary decided to change the subject and turned to his son. "Are you full, Benjamin?"

"Yes, Daddy." Benjamin nodded.
