Colin was so affectionate that Dorothy forgot to complain about Sophia.
Sophia felt her emotions flare up. She found that whenever she saw Colin, she couldn't keep her head. Controlling her emotions in front of the crowd, she turned around and went out.
Hugh kept reminding her that she should give up on Colin, but she never did. It seems he was right, it was time for her to let go...
Outside the office, Sophia got into Hugh's car. The car slowly drove away. Depressed, she asked in a low voice, "Can we go for a drink? Hugh?"
"Okay." Hugh turned the car around and headed for the Cruise Ship No. 8.
They found a table in the hall on the sixth floor. To drown her sorrows, Sophia ordered a Manhattan Cocktail. Since Hugh had to drive afterwards, he ordered a non-alcoholic drink.
The lead singer onstage was a famous local singer who was specially invited. He sang an emotional rendition of Zhaodu's "Chengdu."
After taking a sip of the Manhattan Cocktail the waiter brought, Sophia began to listen to the singer with her hands cupping her cheeks. "Someday, we'll celebrate goodbye in our memories. The weeping willows in late autumn plant a bittersweet kiss my forehead. How can I forget the town where we used to meet? You are the one I will never forget..."
As Sophia listened to the singer on the stage with rapt attention, Hugh looked at her intently.
"Hugh, do I really have no chance with Colin?" Sophia asked after the song ended.
Hugh contemplated for a moment, staring deeply at Sophia. "No."
They had a child together, Colin may not be looking for a stepmother.
Hearing the answer, Sophia laid her eyes on Hugh as she grew nervous with anticipation. "Is there a reason?"
The anticipation flickering in Sophia's eyes made Hugh smile bitterly. He nodded as he suggested, "You need to cultivate your relationship with Brody."
Brody... Sophia smiled sadly as she took another sip from her glass. "Colin doesn't want me to approach him!"
He even went to her to personally warn her twice because she was so close to Ambrose.
"Don't think about Colin, we're talking about you and Brody."
She did
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
urning calm. "Who said I had nothing to do with her? I was here the other night!"
Hugh wasn't an idiot, he definitely knew what Colin meant.
He gritted his teeth in anger. "Why are you treating Sophia this way when you're getting married?"
Sophia tried to pull herself together, but she was so drunk that her legs wobbled and she fell down to her knees after taking a few steps.
"Sophia!"
"Sophia!"
The two men rushed to Sophia at the same time, but Colin pushed Hugh's hand aside and took Sophia in his arms.
Sophia rubbed her aching knees and pushed Colin away. "I'm fine. Hugh, let's go home!"
Colin's eyes were full of anger. He couldn't believe Sophia dared to do this to him!
"Okay." Holding Sophia, Hugh moved to bring her to her house.
Colin peered up at the sky irritably with his hands on hips, and closed his eyes tightly. In a few seconds, he quickly caught up with them, pulling Sophia away and striding to his car.
"Let her go! Colin!" Hugh immediately followed.
Colin pulled Sophia behind him and confronted Hugh. "It's between the two of us. You and Herring know me better than anyone else. No one can take her away from me. Don't make unnecessary trouble!"
His words held a lot of meaning. While Hugh was puzzling over his words, Colin arranged Sophia in the backseat of his car.
Sophia shook her head as she tried to wake herself up. "Colin, let me go. I want to go home!"
