Chapter 479 I Am Pursuing You

"What were you calling me for?" Zephyr looked at her with an innocent expression.

""It's summer now."

The season of passion has already passed.

"I was merely recalling the day I bumped into your mother while tutoring you. Where did your mind wander off to?" Zephyr raised an eyebrow.

Sophia paused for a moment.

There was this one time, during a tutoring session at her place, when Zephyr did indeed run into her mother. However, that was a matter of the second semester.

Zephyr had certainly brought up the events of the first semester to throw her off.

If she were to point out his mistake, she would fall right into his trap. It would seem as though she was still hung up on their past, constantly dwelling on what happened between him and her.

"Isn't it summer now? Where has your mind wandered off to?" She turned the tables on him in defiance.

After she had finished speaking, she turned around and continued walking forward. "Enough talk. Let's move on to the next stall quickly."

They were out and about until ten o'clock, after which the two of them returned to the hotel together.

Sophia decided to take a taxi home; she didn't need Zephyr to escort her.

Zephyr said outright, "I'm staying at the same hotel as you."

Sophia was rendered speechless, as this wasn't the first time it happened.

The last time, Lenora had snapped a photo of Zephyr in Fairlake, asking her if Zephyr had reached out to her.

Her answer was particularly cryptic-not in the past few days.

However, that was because Zephyr had returned to Fairlake during that period.

Before that, during her off-work hours, Zephyr would often seek her out. Whether he was on a business trip or in Jacaster, he seemed to always know where she was. "Zephyr, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm pursuing you. I want to reconcile with you, Sophia."

Sophia lowered her gaze, about to speak when Zephyr preempted her, "Don't be in a rush to refuse, okay? Sophia, I understand the predicament you're in. Your beloved father has another family outside. You're reluctantly meeting with suitors, yet you're not willing to just marry off and leave your inheritance to strangers. But you don't know how to run a company, and you don't have any leverage to sway your father to take your side. I can be that leverage you need."
