Touched, Sophia looked at the little boy. She had thought that he would be scared, but here he was, acting as courageously as he could.
However, Colin pulled back his son's hand.
.... Ambrose speechlessly stared at his dad. "What are you doing?" he asked. "I'm helping her breathe. She just choked on water."
"You don't need to do that. She's okay now!" Colin said in a voice filled with exasperation. As they gazed at each other, the flame of anger in their eyes became conspicuous.
Seeing Ambrose getting upset, Sophia instantly sat up in bed. "Brody, you don't need to worry about me. I'm okay now!"
Sophia's soft voice erased the anger Ambrose felt. He lovingly looked at her and said, "Sophia, once we get married, we will move out."
... Sophia was flabbergasted. She did not know what to say.
Frowning, Colin ignored his son's words and turned to Sophia. "Take off the wet clothes!" he ordered her.
... "All right!" Sophia agreed.
Colin intended to stay, but he didn't want his son in the room while Sophia changed her clothes. Therefore, he dragged Ambrose out of the room.
But Ambrose struggled and squirmed in his father's grip. "Where are you taking me? I need to be with Sophia!" he said, kicking about his little hands and legs.
"Men should not watch a lady changing clothes!" Colin's voice sounded very serious.
Ambrose argued, "But I'm not a man yet. I'm just a kid!"
"One day you will be!"
"But I'm not a man now, which means I can be there!"
"I will not allow it!"
"I don't need your permission. She is my girlfriend!"
Hearing this, Colin pinned his son against his lap and raised his hand to hit him. Ambrose immediately shouted, "Sophia, help. Dad's gonna hit me!"
Sophia instantly put on the clothes she was taking off and dashed out.
When she saw that Colin's palm was merely inches away from his son's tiny butt, her heart ached. She plucked Ambrose from Colin's lap and said, "Colin, he's just a kid. Why are you being so hard on him?"
Putting his arms around Sophia's waist, Ambrose pretended to be frightened. "Sophia, please take me with you!" he wailed.
Sophia pulled Ambrose away from her since she was still drenched from head to toe and hadn't had the opportunity to change her clothes. She turned to Colin and said, "Look what you've done to poor Brody!"
Colin took an unsympathetic look at his son. He was sure that Sop
“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.
en Colin walked out of the bathroom, Sophia was talking to Hugh on the phone. "Tonight? Where? ... Okay, I'll call you later tonight, " Sophia said into the phone.
When she took a look at Colin walking out of the bathroom with merely a robe on, her heart started doing somersaults.
Sophia flushed though she had seen his body several times before.
"I gotta go. See you tonight!" She instantly hung up the phone, under his stern gaze.
Sophia put her phone into her purse, which the housekeeper had brought, and trotted towards the bathroom with a robe in her hand.
But Colin stood in her way, "Where are going tonight?" he asked.
"I am having dinner with a friend, " she replied. Her voice was honest.
"Which friend?"
... "Hugh"
"And?"
"There's no 'and'." Sophia winked. Hugh had sounded upset on the phone and had wanted Sophia to be there with him, and Sophia agreed.
Colin probed again in a cold voice. "A date?"
"What's it to you?" She looked into his eyes.
However, before she could hear Colin's answer, someone knocked at the door again.
Sophia tightly wrapped herself in the robe and walked past him into the bathroom. "I should take that shower now, " she said, closing the door behind her.
After Sophia went into the bathroom, Colin answered the door. But he frowned slightly when he realized who was standing outside.
"Colin, you're really here! I was in the spa downstairs with my friends when I heard that you're up here. So I thought maybe I should e up and ask you how things are going." Dorothy tried hard to make her smile as bright as ever.
