Chapter 969: Tina, Tonight Is Our Wedding Night

Zackary's face flushed as he said, "Tina, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm already a man!"

"And, you told me before that boys should take responsibility for the girls they like..."

At this, Zackary glanced at Jared briefly before quickly lowering his head. "I don't really understand what liking someone means yet, but I know I can't just stand by and watch Sophia get hurt."

Jared was speechless.

Why was this about Sophia again? How did these two manage to cross paths after only a few days?

Tina looked at both of them in surprise. "You did it to save Sophia?"

Zackary, seeing Jared remain silent, continued, "Yes. At the time, there were people running and shouting everywhere. Sophia tripped over her dress, and I got hit by the chair while trying to help her up."

Jared was surprised but remained calm.

Ultimately, this was a debt the Farrell family owed the Reed family. One issue at a time.

Zackary quietly explained, "Tina, Mom and Dad already talked to me about this. I know I don't have the strength yet, but it's Sophia. I couldn't just watch her get hurt..."

Jared couldn't listen anymore. With a serious expression, he interjected, "Zackary, on behalf of my family and Sophia, thank you for saving her!"

Zackary was startled, waving his hands nervously. "It's nothing, Jared. Sophia and I, we..."

Jared's brow twitched as he firmly cut in, "You're still young. Besides studying, you shouldn't be thinking about anything else!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a scientist? I'll arrange for someone to take you on a tour of the national laboratory. It might be helpful."

Zackary's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Jared nodded, speaking in an encouraging tone. "However, you should know that most scientists dedicate all their time to experiments. Even their personal time is often sacrificed. You need to be prepared for that."

Zackary had already researched everything about being a scientist and felt ready for the challenge. "I will, Jared."

Jared nodded in satisfaction.

Tina watched the interaction between the two and simply smiled without saying anything.
