Hugh pretended to be thinking about it seriously. The truth was that he thought about this a thousand times over. Then he said, "How about marrying me?"
Sophia looked at him, obviously stunned. Hugh spoke once more, "Sophia, you should think about it. We would make a good couple and I believe you know that."
"… Hugh, what I believe is that you think too highly of me. To be honest, you deserve a better woman for a partner. Look at me. I am already divorced, and I also... have given birth to a baby. Why do you still want to love me
Everyone looks down at me." Sophia kind of expected this from him but she has always rejected the idea. In the past three years, Hugh had expressed his love for her every Valentine"s Day. But time and time again, she would reject him.
Hugh picked up the goblet with the red wine in it. He clicked the goblet to hers and said, "Sophia, why do you think I care about those things? Those things are in the past already. What I care for is the person right in front of me. As long as you stay with me in the future, everything that happened in the past will be forgotten!"
Sophia was feeling a bit uncomfortable now. Thinking that Colin was going to get married at the end of next month, she didn"t say anything to reject Hugh completely. But later, she thought it was wrong. "You know that I love Colin. Although he is going to get married at the end of next month, it is true that I still love him. You… had better give up. I don"t know if I could ever move on from him, and I don"t want you to spend your life waiting for me."
Realizing her dilemma, he smiled rather bitterly, and then he turned to another topic. "Recently, I went to a dinner party and met Miss Hang. She said a lot of things about you."
Miss Hang? Oh! Sandra.
Hugh"s words diverted Sophia from thinking further about Colin. She said, "What did she say, then?"
For Sophia, she felt doubtful about Sandra. She didn"t know whether Sandra is really to be blame. She had mixed feelings about that woman.
"She said June will be holding a birthday party at the middle of next month. Patrick will hold the party for her at home, and he invited me to bring you along."
June? Since coming back, she hadn"t seen the gentle and sweet June. She got very excited at the thought of that so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Oh no! On the other hand, Lien must have attended the party!
…
After paying the bill, they went out of the stylish and luxurious restaurant. Sophia and Hugh were walking towards the parking lot when her mobile phone suddenly rang. The screen displayed Wendy"s name. She answered the phone eagerly, "Hi auntie
Falling from n.o.bility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
tions made her feel so uncomfortable.
"I haven"t done anything to him. Why would you think like that?" They just played or chatted with each other. It was just a friendly relationship. What could she have done to Ambrose other than that?
Colin pulled her back to face him. "Why did Ambrose want you to be his girlfriend? And he even wanted to fight with me because of you!"
... Sophia really felt helpless right now. "Mr. Li, why do you want to argue with a kid. Don"t you think that you are being a bit childish?"
The truth was Sophia can"t believe that she can still put up with this man considering their last disappointing and infuriating conversation.
"I am here to warn you to leave my son alone!"
"... I see. Anything else? Because I really have work to do." Her voice sounded a little upset now.
Colin"s tone turned indifferent as he blurted out, "I am hungry!"
"... Well, this place is not a restaurant! Eat somewhere else!"
"Cook a meal for me!"
… He didn"t eat the dishes that she cooked before. Why did he ask her to cook for him now? She had delivered the food for him for many times and he always refused them. What was going on now?
She stared at Colin right in the eyes. "Colin, you are getting married. It"s not appropriate for us to act like this. Please stop playing around."
"Then what is appropriate for us to do? Like this?" He suddenly grabbed her into his arms, and kissed her on the lips hard. Sophia didn"t even have the chance to think.
…
After a long while that their lips were locked into each other, Sophia pushed him away and gasped, "I won"t be your first mistress!"
She loved Colin, but not like this!
"Oh, you"re not the first mistress. You are at most, the third, or maybe the fourth."
