"The 29th of this month is Sophia"s birthday. Don"t forget it! I have a poor memory, so remember to remind me then!"
... Glancing at the date on the phone, he found that yesterday was indeed the 29th of the lunar month.
Last night, he should have celebrated her birthday with her. Instead, he trapped her underneath him and had his way with her.
After parking the car, Colin took Sophia"s hand and walked towards the shopping mall. She walked alongside him in silence.
Neither of them said a word. When they entered the shopping mall, Colin glanced around the mall and then took her to GL Diamond store.
The shopping guides consistently followed the news during their free time, so they knew that Colin was the CEO of SL Group, which the GL company belonged to. The moment they saw him, their eyes lit up.
They greeted in chorus, "Welcome to GL Diamond, Mr. Li!"
Colin nodded and directly went up to the counter to choose a diamond. Sophia watched the man holding her hand, wondering what he was going to do.
"Do you like this one?" Colin pointed at the diamond ring in a box and asked Sophia to have a look.
The manager came at once and took out the diamond ring that Colin picked out. He put it on the counter and began to describe it.
It was a simple-looking ring, with a colorful diamond as big as a pigeon egg on top. No doubt it was worth a lot.
Sophia was bewildered. Was he going to buy it for her? Or for the woman he liked?
She asked Colin innocently, "Who is it for?"
Colin glanced at her and let go of her hand. Taking out the diamond, he then put it on her finger.
Sophia"s small hands were fair and pretty. Wearing the diamond ring, her hand became more beautiful.
"This one!"
Sophia noticed the price of the diamond was nearly a hundred million. She took off the ring hastily and said, "No, Colin. It"s too expensive..."
"I dare you take it off." He warned her harshly.
Sophia was halfway through taking off the ring, but she stopped at his words.
"I don"t think..."
"You don"t have to think about anything. Don"t feel any pressure. I"m buying you this ring only to make my mother happy." Colin evaded he
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
m, casually dressed in his robe.
The exhausted woman who should have been asleep, opened her tired eyes in the darkness. She watched the closed door and thought. "What did she mean to him?".
At the SL Group
Sophia stepped into the office in her high heels.
There appeared to be a buzz wherever she went.
"Hey, have you seen the ring on Sophia Lo"s finger? What a big diamond!"
"I saw it! I wouldn"t have noticed it if she hadn"t pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton!"
"Yeah, don"t you think she"s changed recently? I have to admit, she"s getting more beautiful!"
"I think so, too. She emits the sweet aura of a happy woman and seems like a totally different person..."
...
But those words didn"t reach Sophia. She got off the elevator and entered the locker room.
As everyone was changing their clothes, Sophia took out her key to open the locker, only to hear a voice screaming, "Oh my G.o.d! That"s a big diamond on your finger, Miss Lo!"
It was Serena. She covered her mouth and gazed at the diamond ring in amazement, which Sophia unintentionally showed.
Sophia felt a little embarra.s.sed. She took back her hand and hid it her pocket, muttering, "It"s a fake..."
Having already walked to the door, Jamie and Carrie turned around. But the diamond ring was already hidden in Sophia"s pocket.
Jamie strode on her high heels. She took out Sophia"s hand from her pocket, showing everyone the brilliant diamond ring.
