The traffic light turned red. While waiting for the stoplight, Colin helplessly tried to explain to Sophia. "Sophia, Leila is like my younger sister. Even if she's a bit older than you, she'll call you 'elder sister' because we're married. Can't you behave like one?"
Sophia scoffed, spitting out a series of random letters. "FUNDURLILSISTA!"
Colin was dumbfounded. What was that supposed to mean?
Sophia sneered again, but obviously didn't intend to explain. Colin stepped on the gas when the traffic light turned green, driving back to the Li House.
They arrived home in the small hours of the morning, and everyone was sleeping.
Colin pulled the car into the garage, while Sophia got off at the gate. She went to the bedroom without waiting for him.
Once the car was parked, Colin took out his phone and called Herring.
After a long while, Herring finally answered the phone. In a hoarse voice, he barked, "This had better be important, Colin!"
How dare Colin call him at this ungodly hour? He was sleeping!
"What does 'FUNDURLILSISTA' mean?"
"What? What's that?" Herring was lost. Was he still dreaming?
Colin repeated himself. Herring remained silent for a long time before he spoke again.
"Where did you encounter that?" Herring tried his best to recall anything that could relate to the words.
"Sophia said it to me."
"Then ask her! Why do you have to call me right now?"
"She's angry with me! I can't ask her, she won't answer!" Colin lit a cigarette and breathed in a lungful of smoke.
Herring was speechless. He really wanted to tell Colin to ask Sophia so he could get a free ticket to heaven, but instead he asked, "Why did she say that to you?"
Colin recounted what he told her before that. Within half a minute, Herring burst out into laughter. "I know what it means!"
"What is it?"
"Fuck you and your little sister!"
"..."
Colin hung up the phone. Putting out the cigarette, he got off the car and walked towards the bedroom.
After quick wash, Sophia went to bed. Just as she covered herself with the blanket, Colin entered and pulled her up from the bed.
Ignoring him, Sophia shook him off and closed her eyes
"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...
he not only helped her from distress, but also took on all the expenses for their father.
Jay's illness has been lingering, and the treatment he received from the hospital was the best of its kind. It must have cost a fortune. But Colin never mentioned it. Every time he visited Jay, he would ask the doctors to give Jay the best medicine and provide the best care.
Sophia remained quiet. She gave the bank card to Aaron again, but he refused. Taking a deep breath, she scolded him, "Are you going to defy me?"
"Sister, I can make money now! I don't need your savings to support father!" Even if they had to repay the Li Clan for their kindness, he didn't need Sophia's money. He would do it all by himself.
Sophia glared at Aaron. "I told you it's not for you, it's for father. Keep it for him."
Aaron wanted to refuse, but Colin calmly interrupted, "Aaron, if your sister wants you to take it, you should."
Upon hearing that, he immediately obeyed. "Thank you, brother. Thank you, sister!"
... Sophia was speechless. That was her money! What did he thank Colin for!
Colin sat down beside Jay, chatting and watching TV with him for a while. Sophia gazed out the window, lost in thought.
She wondered if she should be more tolerant about Leila since Colin was so kind to her family.
Behind her, Colin and Aaron were talking about Aaron's job. Aaron talked about how he didn't want to be a security guard for the rest of his life.
