Biting her lips tightly, Sophia had no choice but to accept it. "I hope my father is in one piece after he's released!"
"Of course!"
Sophia hung up the phone and went back to her bedroom, holding the phone in a daze.
When it was nearly noon, she poured the soup she made into an insulated tumbler and dialed Wade's number. She greeted politely, "Mr. Ji, how are you?"
"Mrs... Miss Lo, how are you?" Wade caught himself when he remembered that Sophia wasn't Mrs. Li anymore.
"Mr. Ji, are you in A Country now?"
"Yes, I am. What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you for a favor."
Wade glanced at his boss, who was approaching him and nodded. "Well, what is it?"
"I made some soup. Could you... Bring it to Colin?" Sophia asked awkwardly.
Her request made Wade unfortable. He glanced at Colin, who was staring at him intently. "I'll try."
Wade's response puzzled Colin.
Sophia excitedly thanked him, "Oh, thank you, thank you! I'll bring it to you right now. Where shall I meet you?"
"Let's meet at fountain by the office."
"Alright, I'll go there right away. I should be there in 10 minutes."
"Okay, goodbye." Colin's sharp gaze made Wade's scalp tingle.
Putting away his phone, he said respectfully, "Mr. Li."
"Who was that?"
"Well... A takeout restaurant. They're launching a new soup and they wanted me to ask you if you're interested in trying it." Wade knew better than anyone that he could never speak about Sophia in Colin's presence.
He had no choice but to lie.
Colin felt an inexplicable disappointment rising in his heart. He said coldly, "I'm not interested. Join me in the conference room for the video conference."
"But..." He had to met Sophia in 10 minutes. A video conference usually lasted at least an hour.
Colin shot him a dry look. "Any problem?"
"No, sir!" Wade promptly followed, sending a message to the receptionist at the front des
“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 es 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.
feeling disheartened because of the high prices.
Sophia rested on a chair in the middle of the mall and massaged her tired legs. She contemplated buying baby things from small shops outside.
But she didn't want their baby to wear clothes of poor quality.
She still had a lot of money left from Colin. Sophia finally came to a decision. The child was also Colin's, so she has the right to use his money.
Returning to the maternity and baby store, Sophia selected many baby supplies. She couldn't help smiling at the thought of seeing their baby soon.
"Oh, who's this?" A familiar voice made Sophia's smile freeze.
Looking up, she saw a familiar couple nearby. The man who had once been warm and gentle towards her, now looked at her coldly. Beside him stood the woman whom Sophia had despised her entire life. She shot Sophia a smug look.
Seeing the couple hanging out together proved the rumours of their impending marriage to be true...
Dorothy boldly took Colin's arm. "Sophia, long time no see. Didn't you elope with Payne? Are you ing back with his baby?"
Her deliberate words visibly outraged Colin. Dorothy immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.
Sophia gazed at Colin lovingly, while he looked aside with indifference.
