However, Colin was sitting still, and appeared indifferent when Dorothy kissed him.
And when Sophia was about to sit down, she stumbled over someone's leg and fell onto the floor.
But it turned out that this was a blessing in disguise. As a result, Sophia screamed as she suddenly fell in the arms of Colin, who should have been kissing Dorothy. Everyone froze as they saw Sophia and Colin accidentally hugging each other.
Colin seemed to embrace her in his arms reflectively and before anyone realized what just happened, Colin lowered his head and unexpectedly kissed Sophia on the lips.
Still, people felt he did not intended to kiss her as his movements were too fast and natural. They thought it was just an awkward accident...
Dorothy glared at Colin and Sophia, took a deep breath and quickly pulled them apart when everyone was still gasping at how Colin just kissed Sophia. Dorothy then said with her melancholic voice, "Colin."
Sophia quickly freed herself from Colin, and stood up. She stayed away from Colin, rubbed her hands and apologized, "I'm so sorry. I don't know why I fell down just now. I'm terribly sorry. Please forgive me!"
Sophia said she was sorry, but by the look on her face, Dorothy thought that Sophia actually didn't feel sorry. Instead, she saw that Sophia was mockingly looking at her in the dim light.
Hugh thought that he had seen what had happened clearly. His vigilant eyes saw everything.
It was Colin who had tripped Sophia with his foot.
He was right! Sophia could not have just fallen down by herself. It was Colin who had put his foot out! However, the reason why they had kissed was that Sophia tightly pulled Colin by his collar, and easily forced him to lower his head so she could kiss him.
In other words, they kissed because Colin had pulled out his foot and Sophia had cooperated with him...
Seeing this awkward scene, people opted to be nonchalant about it and pretended that they did not witness what just happened. They just ate, drank and played games like what they were doing a while ago.
Sophia tidied up her clothes and her messed-up hair and whispered to Hugh, "Excuse me. I have to go to the restroom."
But Hugh just stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Hmmm. Sophia blushed a little and said. "No, I..."
"I want to go to the bathroom, too. Let's go, now. Come on." With these words, Hugh pulled Sophia by her hand and led her to th
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
where is Aunt Hermosa right now?"
When she mentioned Hermosa, a painful look appeared in Hugh's eyes. "She is in the Jing'an Temple on the mountain area outside our city."
The day after tomorrow was Saturday. Sophia thought that she could try to finish her work in just two days so she could make some time to visit Aunt Hermosa. "I want to visit Aunt Hermosa. Would you like to go with me?"
Hugh was overjoyed to hear that. He nodded and replied, "Yes! Of course, I'll go with you!"
When they reached the gate of the Lo Family, Aaron opened the door for them. Aaron looked a bit strange when he saw them.
Sophia was still in Hugh's arms, so Aaron quickly took his sister from Hugh and asked, "What's the matter with my sister? Is she hurt? Why are you helping her walk?"
"You're Aaron, right? Your sister seemed to have twisted her ankle. It was an accident." Hugh had met Aaron several times already but they never had the chance to really familiarize with each other. He just knew that Aaron was Sophia's brother. That was all.
"Oh! Sister! Why were you so careless?" Aaron frowned and scolded her sister. Then he said to Hugh, "Mr. Pei, it's already late, so I'm not inviting you in for a drink. Thank you for sending my sister home! You should take some rest too."
"It's okay. Call me if the ankle still hurts tomorrow. I will always be free to help." Hugh waved to them.
Sophia bid goodbye to Hugh in a very caring tone, "Thank you, Hugh! Drive slowly on the road! Goodbye!"
"Okay! Have an early rest tonight! I had a wonderful time with you tonight." Hugh then closed the door and left.
