Hugh's face fell. He answered, "Tell Colin that we don't need his help."
Wade smiled, "All right, Mr. Pei. I will relay the message to Mr. Li. I'll leave you be then, Mr. Pei and Miss Lo. Take care, Miss Lo."
"Thank you, Mr. Ji. Take care, " Sophia returned a smile.
Hugh showed Wade out. As they left the ward, Sophia's indifferent expression collapsed. She felt a sudden ache spread from her left chest.
After so many years, she still felt heartbroken whenever she was reminded of Colin, especially when he did things like sending Wade over.
In the afternoon, Sophia left the hospital. Hugh escorted her to the Lo's House, and left her alone as she requested.
A Country was big. One could hardly come across people he or she knew, but it wasn't big enough for such encounters not to happen.
Four weeks after the dinner, Sophia hadn't met Colin again.
However, when she went to the clothing shop in her company's shopping mall for work, she ran into Wendy and... Colin's son...
Inside the shop, Sophia was carefully placing her designs on the mannequins. Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke, "Sophia."
In excitement, she quickly turned around and saw Wendy smiling at her.
Right beside her, a cute boy caught Sophia's eye.
She stared at the boy, as he and Wendy approached her.
After a closer look, Sophia was certain that the boy was Colin's child because he had Colin's features.
The boy was staring at Sophia, too. His big eyes looked directly into hers. Somehow, Sophia's heart started to throb.
A strange feeling took over her. Sophia crouched down in front of the little boy, gazed into his eyes, and said, "Hello there..."
"Hello, auntie. Have I met you before?" The boy greeted back.
Sophia's heartbeat quickened. She flashed a smile, "Have we? You seem familiar, too. I must have seen you somewhere before."
But Sophia knew it was her first time to see Colin's boy.
Wendy stood aside quietly, watching their interaction with amazement. It must be the natural connection between a mother and a son
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
a little sad. Colin must have hated her a lot...
"Sophia, don't give up. Colin still cares for you. I can tell from his behavior." Wendy held Sophia's hand and solemnly assured her.
Sophia shook her head. She was fully aware that Colin did not care for her anymore. And even if he did, he was already engaged to Dorothy. There was nothing she could do.
Ambrose didn't understand much of their conversation, but he knew that Sophia was sad. To comfort her, he held Sophia by her sleeve and asked, "Aunt Sophia, can I invite you to dinner?"
Hearing what he said, Sophia smiled. "Sure, but the dinner is on me."
After making dinner plans, they bade goodbye to each other. Sophia went back to work, and when she finished, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening.
Sophia quickly packed her things up and headed toward the amusement park. That was the meeting place Ambrose had chosen.
When she arrived at the park, Wendy and Ambrose were already inside. The young chap spotted Sophia as she appeared. He let out a cheerful yell, "Aunt Sophia! I am here!"
Sophia smiled and trotted to them. Wendy chuckled, "He couldn't wait to see you. How was work?"
"Pretty good, auntie. Now, Little Brody, what do you want to eat for dinner?" Sophia smiled and asked.
Ambrose hopped off the bumper car. He said, "What do you want, Aunt Sophia? Ladies first!"
