Colin helped Sophia get acquainted with everyone. Most of them were strangers to her, Including Joseph"s family. Cole and Sh.e.l.ly would come over at night. Another family was Harry"s family. She met Daniel, Janet, and their son.
Sophia looked at Harry and Daniel in admiration. They were the most prestigious family in the world.
Colin looked at Sophia and found her gazing admiringly at Daniel, who was teasing his son in the arms of his wife. Colin squeezed her fingers and said to her ear, "I"ll take out your eyeb.a.l.l.s if you keep looking at someone else."
Sophia paused. She gave him a light look and answered with a smile, "You should learn from your cousin and uncle, they"re both known for loving their wives."
Colin smiled in disdain. "You should learn from your sister-in-law and give birth to a baby, so mother will be happy to have a grandson."
Sophia narrowed her eyes at Colin. If she hadn"t taken the initiative, she would still be a virgin! A grandson? How could she give birth to a baby by herself? "You keep blaming everything on me. Colin, you"re being unreasonable."
"What"s the point of making sense with a person like you, who bleeds seven days a month?"
Sophia was taken aback. Was he talking about a woman"s monthly cycle? His sudden shift in topic made Sophia blush.
She pinched him hard. "You"re being offensive to women!"
The couple argued with each other in a low voice, but the family a.s.sumed they were teasing each other affectionately. They smiled to themselves.
Harry"s family and Joseph"s family were very nice and showed kindness to Sophia.
Sophia basked in the warmth of having a family again. She constantly wore a smile on her face as she chatted with them.
Colin shot her a bewildered look several times. Why was she smiling so stupidly all the time?
Suddenly, Wendy noticed the diamond ring on her hand. "Sophia! Is this the ring that Colin bought for you?"
Complying with Colin, Sophia wore the bigger diamond ring that he gave her.
Wendy held Sophia"s hand up, and the diamond shining brilliantly att
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
ere exposed in the air, she didn"t feel cold.
She watched the strangers from the window because she didn"t know anybody.
Jordan and Joseph stood at the door to welcome the guests. Colin, Cole, and Levi accompanied their grandfather Harold to chat around.
Soon, Herring came with a girl. Sophia guessed she was Joseph"s daughter because she called Jordan uncle.
Sophia confirmed her guess when the girl called Joseph father.
Feeling alone in the crowd, Sophia didn"t join in but hid herself away by the dark window.
Then she saw Patrick Lien enter the manor. He was Dorothy"s brother, and Sophia had met him twice before. Patrick apparently married the elder daughter of the Ji family when he was very young. Unfortunately, his wife wasn"t able to give birth to a baby, so he had to turn to surrogacy.
Since Patrick was here, Dorothy would be here soon.
Sure enough, Payne and Dorothy were behind Patrick. Dorothy was wearing maternity clothes.
Suddenly, Sophia"s eyes filled with hatred at the sight of the couple.
Colin frowned at Dorothy"s appearance. Then he realized he hadn"t seen her for a while. Looking around the hall, he found the woman standing by the window.
He was about to walk to her when a commotion occurred at the villa entrance.
From the excitement of the young guests, everyone inside knew that the famous star Leila had arrived.
