The intensity of the rain increased over time. Soon after, Colin cruised to a stop outside Maeve"s apartment. She was staying a couple of minutes away from him. "Well, Mr. Li, do you have an umbrella? Your car is prohibited to get in my apartment. Would you like to lend me an umbrella so that I can walk in?"
Colin thought for a while and glanced at the heavy rain outside the car. "I"ll need to get an umbrella from my house. Then I can take you to your apartment."
After five minutes, Colin parked his car at the underground parking of his apartment. "Miss Duanmu, please wait for me. I"ll be back in a moment."
Maeve immediately held Colin"s arm, looking around in a panic. "Mr. Li... I"m afraid of being alone... Can I come with you?"
Glancing at the hands she had placed on his arm, Colin shook them off and said in a calm voice, "Okay."
"Thank you, Mr. Li... Well... Can I call you Colin?" Maeve smoothed her long hair and asked him cautiously.
Colin gently smiled. Not afraid to offend her, he responded, "We"re just coworkers. You can call me the same way other colleagues do."
But Maeve didn"t get angry. She bit her lower lip and said, "Em, Mr. Li, are you are acting indifferently towards me because you have a wife?" Maeve in high heels trotted along with Colin.
Colin didn"t deny it and emphasized, "Yes. I"m married."
Looking at Colin"s profile, Maeve"s heart beat fast. No wonder so many women said Colin was an extraordinary man. He was polite and gentle. What"s more important was that he was a tyc.o.o.n with great power in A Country.
If a woman could marry such a man, she would live an extravagant life. Additionally, n.o.body dared to bully Colin"s woman.
They entered the lift and Colin pressed the b.u.t.ton for the 2nd floor.
When he opened his apartment door, a familiar fragrance welcomed him. Colin paused slightly. Why did he smell Sophia?
No, it must be his illusion b
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I did no such thing!"
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

Sophia said nothing. Her head raced with thoughts. Deep down, she knew that she should trust that he was telling her the truth.
Colin kissed her again. "Honey, I shall never bring any woman back home, okay?"
"Never bring her home? How about taking her to a hotel?" Sophia seized on a flaw in his words.
Colin chuckled helplessly. He put his hands on her shoulders, staring at her. "Sophia, do you trust me?"
Looking at his sincere eyes, Sophia hugged him.
Colin began to kiss her. She closed her eyes to immerse herself in his pa.s.sionate embrace.
They slowly made their way to the bedroom. "Sophia, is this a surprise for me?"
"Yes, do you like it?" She couldn"t help but smile.
She also wanted to get pregnant, and give him a bigger surprise.
"Of course!" Colin didn"t speak. He embraced her and soon the room filled with their pa.s.sionate moans as they made love.
Because she was too tired and still jet lagged, Sophia didn"t wake up until the next day in the afternoon.
Colin asked her to call him when she woke up as he planned on asking someone to bring her food.
But Sophia didn"t want to trouble him. After showering, she walked out of the apartment.
She ate some fast food nearby and hung around, waiting for day to turn to night.
