When Sophia carried Ambrose back from the bathroom, Colin had finished his shower and had wrapped himself in her bath towel.
Glancing at his solid chest and firm abs, she felt her ears turned red. "Get dressed. I've made breakfast."
After Sophia helped Ambrose get dressed, Colin was nearly done with breakfast by the time they walked out.
Sophia got the milk reheated for Ambrose and brought it to him. "Let me help you with the boiled eggs."
The ingredients she used to make breakfast were very limited. She had to go to the market earlier this morning to buy eggs and milk. She only made boiled eggs, simple sandwiches, and dumplings with leek and eggs.
Sophia was really happy that Colin had finished the entire meal she prepared for him.
Wiping his mouth, Colin grabbed the eggs from Sophia's hand. "Let me help Ambrose."
She didn't turn him down, she found it really sweet that Colin offered to help Ambrose with his breakfast. Ambrose could get to know his father's love towards him.
But Colin handed the egg to Sophia right after he peeling it. Glancing at his son, he said, "Ladies first."
The discontent in Ambrose's eyes disappeared instantly. "Aunt Sophia, you should eat first!"
Sophia took the egg and raised it to Ambrose's mouth. "Brody, take a bite first."
Ambrose looked at Colin, who was peeling another egg. Without raising his head, Colin said, "Brody's is almost ready." He meant that Sophia should eat the egg first.
Sophia heaved a sigh. She decided to give up and eat first. There was enough eggs for everyone. "Next time, Ambrose should eat first. Being a gentleman is good, but we also should respect the aged and take care of children." said Sophia.
Colin disagreed, "He's a boy. He should learn to be a gentleman."
There seemed to be something wrong with Colin's reply. Sophia asked, "What if Brody is a girl?"
"Then my daughter would be the most cherished."
Sophia didn't reply. Well, then! According to a famous saying, if a woman couldn't marry the man she loves, she would be reincarnated as his daughter in the next life. Sophia had a feeling that Colin would spoil his daughter the way Daniel did.
What if... she gave him a daughter?" Maybe Colin
“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!"
Colin threw the roses into his car. Well, that would save her some trouble.
Sending away the delivery guy, Colin stared at Sophia with cold eyes. "If you keep seeing someone else, I will lock you in my house and tie you to the bed."
Sophia was speechless.
She hadn't done anything. Flynn was the one sent her the roses. Why Colin was talking like she had cheated on him...
Colin got into the car and sped away furiously.
Sophia felt upset. She walked towards the building entrance slowly and bumped into several nosy girls from her department. They asked excitedly, "Sophia, did Mr. Li drive you here?"
"Are the roses a gift from him, or a gift from you?"
"Sophia, when did you meet Mr. Colin? Are you seeing each other? He drove you to work!"
...
They asked all different kinds of questions. Sophia smiled slightly and answered all of them, "No. I... My car broke down on the way, and Mr. Li happened to pass by. I'm not seeing him. But we've met several times because of work during business trips. The roses might be a gift to his fiancee."
'Well. I've officially become a hypocritical woman who can tell a pack of lies.' Sophia thought to herself.
At the Jingguan Entertainment Company
Flynn was listening to the delivery guy report on the phone. As the guy told him the whole story, a frown appeared on his face. Colin?
What was Sophia's relationship with him?
Colin had claimed that Sophia was in love with someone else... Was it Colin?
