Sophia couldn"t cry, it was a sign of weakness.
Colin didn"t know how to comfort her. He could only hold her quietly for a long time before he said, "Don"t cry."
... Sophia stopped crying.
Closing her eyes, she took a deep breathe of Colin"s scent. She wanted to enjoy the brief moment of happiness between them.
As the rain grew heavier, Colin took off his coat and wrapped it around her. "Let"s go back."
Sophia shook her head, "Colin, there"s something I want to tell you."
"Okay."
"Since we"re getting a divorce in the future, we don"t have to get too close to each other. We should live our own lives and get divorced at the right time, okay?"
After saying that, Sophia could feel Colin"s cold gaze on her. She lowered her head, and didn"t have the courage to look up.
After a long time, a key fell into her hand. "The plane leaves at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Don"t be late."
Colin strode away under the rain in only his shirt, without looking back. He looked invincible as he walked away.
I"m sorry, Colin. I don"t want to get hurt again.
As Sophia sat in the driver"s seat, she realized that she forgot to return his coat.
She got off the car, but Colin had already walked away. All she could see were two endless rows of dim lamps shining on the long road.
Inexplicably, her heart began to ache.
At 7 o"clock in the morning
Sophia rushed to catch a cab to the airport. When she arrived, she took out her ID card, and went directly to the check-in counter for her ticket.
She received a first cla.s.s ticket from the counter.
It must"ve been booked for her by Colin.
Sophia looked around for Colin in the waiting area, but she didn"t find him. She found herself a seat and waited.
A man in the VIP lounge watched her every move.
Sophia found out a few minutes before the plane took off that Colin was seated beside her. Wade sat on Colin"s other side.
Smiling, Sophia greeted Wade. She ignored Colin and turned off her phone as if nothing had happened.
Closin
“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!"
. Sophia was always too cautious in her presence. Wendy was afraid that she was unhappy.
Having no daughter, Wendy doted on Sophia like she was her own.
She felt bad when Sophia was careful around her.
"That"s good to hear, mom!" Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.
They chatted for a while as they made the bed. Later, Wendy asked, "How are you and Colin lately?"
"We"re doing great. Colin is good to me."
Wendy frowned, "I want the truth. Don"t lie to me."
Sophia winked and put on a smile for Wendy, "Mom, I meant every word. When someone bullies me, he speaks out for me. He also buys me beautiful new clothes and new skin care products. Rest a.s.sured, mom."
When she talked about Colin, a spark of happiness filled Sophia"s eyes. Although it was brief, it lasted long enough for Wendy too see.
Wendy nodded in satisfaction, "Good, I"m relieved! The next step is to try and have a baby, okay?"
Although Sophia is still young, Colin isn"t. It"s time for them to have a child.
At Wendy"s words, Sophia lowered her eyes replied softly, "We"ll try harder."
Have a baby? How could they do that? They were going to get divorced.
"Sophie, you"re a good daughter. Daughters are always better than sons. I gave birth to two sons, but one of them never visits, and the other is completely unreachable. How dreadful!"
