Colin didn't feel like arguing with Herring over a box of condoms. He didn't respond and continued to drink.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, the rain began to ease. Totally wasted, Colin staggered up from his seat. Herring found a driver for him and prepared to send him home.
But he needed to use the bathroom first. He called a waitress over and said, "Hey, beautiful. I need your help."
When the woman saw Herring, her eyes shined with excitement and she hurried to him. "How can I help, Mr. Huo? ...Oh, and Mr. Li!"
"Could you look after him for a while? I'll be back soon." Herring handed Colin over to the waitress, and shoved a few bills into the low collar of her shirt.
"You're too kind, Mr. Huo! I'll take good care of Mr. Li!" The woman replied happily.
Herring turned around and headed to the bathroom.
In the woman's arms, Colin frowned and opened his eyes in discomfort. Sniffing her strong perfume, he pushed the waitress away.
The waitress quickly moved back to him. Holding his arm, she coaxed in a sweet tone, "Mr. Li, you're drunk. Let me help you."
"Fuck off." Colin shook off the waitress and leaned against the wall for support.
Noticing his displeasure, the waitress quickly shut her mouth. She stood beside him and didn't dare approach him again.
Fortunately, Herring returned to them soon. "Thank you, beautiful. You can go now."
Putting Colin's arm over his shoulder, Herring helped him out of the bar.
Outside, the driver was waiting by the car. As Herring and Colin exited the bar, he quickly came up to them and asked, "Mr. Huo, where should I bring Mr. Li?"
Herring thought for a moment. Since Colin was wasted, it wouldn't be a good idea to drop him off at the Li House. He slapped Colin's face lightly to wake him up. Suddenly, Colin's eyes snapped open. Taken aback, Herring drew his hand back. "Are you drunk or not?"
"I am."
Herring was frustrated. He put his hands on his hips. "Where do you want to go? Should I book a hotel room for you?"
"No, thanks." Closing his eyes again, Colin leaned against the car door to steady himself. He recite
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
the pillow.
Sophia didn't get back onto her bed. She quietly went to the next room. Lying down, she stared at the ceiling until the sky turned bright.
When Colin woke up the next morning, it was already 8 o'clock.
Without setting up an alarm, he would usually get up at 6 or 6:30 in the morning.
This time, he got up late... Because the room was full of Sophia's scent, he slept soundly last night.
But where was Sophia?
After calling Wade to ask him to bring over a set of clothes, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Not long after he went out in a bathrobe, someone knocked on the bedroom door.
"Mr. Li." It was Wade.
Colin opened the door to take the clothes and asked casually, "What is Sophia doing downstairs?" He remembered that pregnant women slept more. Why did Sophia wake up so early?
Wade was puzzled. "I didn't see Mrs. Li downstairs."
Colin paused before calmly saying, "I see. You can wait for me downstairs."
As he dressed up, Colin took his wristwatch from the side table and spotted a box of condoms next to it.
It was the box Herring had given to him. Sophia must've placed it there last night...
Putting on his watch, Colin went out of the bedroom. Seeing Justina by the stairs, he asked, "Where's Sophia?"
Justina looked at him in confusion. "Isn't Mrs. Li sleeping in the room? She usually doesn't get up until 10 o'clock in the morning."
