The little boy seemed to believe what Levi just said. Ambrose"s eyes dilated a little as he fixed his gaze on Levi. "Tell me honestly. In your opinion, does Sophia like me?"
"Of course, she likes you. Who wouldn"t like you, Ambrose? To be sure, let"s ask her. Sophia, do you agree with me?" Levi surprised Sophia with this question so as not to cause an awkward situation.
Sophia knew what Levi was thinking and she answered immediately, "That"s true! Brody, Sophia likes you very much! Don"t be angry anymore, okay? Can you do that?" Sophia took Ambrose from Wendy"s arms, and lovingly comforted the little boy.
Ambrose saw that Colin was very quiet. He glared at him as he teased, "Look! Only I can kiss Sophia from now on! Daddy, I don"t need your advice anymore! I"m happy already."
Without showing any emotions at all, Colin said, "Go to sleep! It"s getting late now."
With Colin"s words, everyone went back to their respective rooms. Sophia carried Ambrose to his room to help him go to sleep.
Ambrose lovingly clung onto Sophia"s arm as both of them lay on the bed. Sophia casually leaned against the headboard and ran her fingers through the child"s soft short hair. "Sleep now. Auntie Sophia is here with you!"
"Sophia, please don"t go away, will you? Don"t leave me here. I want to see you first thing in the morning when I wake up." Ambrose tried to beg her. He affectionately nestled his cheek on Sophia"s palm.
Sophia"s heart was easily drawn to the child as she became fond of his sweet gestures. "I promise." She tried to rea.s.sure him. "But Brody has to go to school tomorrow. You should sleep early or else you"ll miss school. You don"t want that."
"Okay!" Ambrose closed his eyes as a smile showed on his cute face.
A moment later, Ambrose broke the silence again and murmured, "Please wait for me, Sophia. When I grow up, I am going to work and earn money for you! You can buy anything you want!"
...... Sophia let her thumb caress the little boy"s face, "Well, your Aunt Sophia will wait for that. For now, you have to study hard first."
Within half an hour, Ambrose fell sound asleep. Sophia gently tucked him into the quilt.
But Ambrose clung to her arm again as soon as she sensed that Sophia was about to get up from the bed. Then to Sophia"s surprise, he murmured, "Mommy, don"t go. Mommy......"
Sophia couldn"t help herself as she almost burst out in tears.
She moved closer to him, patting him lightly on his back. Deep down inside her, she wanted to be selfish and think that Ambrose was her own son. But she could not do that... "Brody, I won"t go anywhere. I"m just here..." She replied in a soft, hoa.r.s.e voice.
"Mommy......" Then Ambrose closed his eyes once more and fell asleep.
He has a face like that of Colin"s especially his lips, eyes and eyebrows. But then she noticed his nose. Sophia was not really sure on whom Ambrose might have inherited it. Maybe it was fr
"Do you know what you did wrong? It"s alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah"s misfortune...
ps.
...... Sophia became so embarra.s.sed that she immediately pushed him away. "It"s getting so late now. I have to go. You can go to bed early tonight. You need some rest."
She was actually planning to leave? Colin smirked like a charming cruel man. He held her in his arms all of a sudden and kissed her lips again to stop her from screaming. Then he threw her onto the bed, and pressed his body on her. "Let"s continue doing our thing!"
At that very moment, a little box dropped from Sophia"s handbag. Colin"s attention was immediately drawn to it. Sophia was taking her cellphone out from the bag and forgot to zip it close.
Colin let go of Sophia and picked up the little box from the floor.
Sophia abruptly reached to grab it from his hand as soon as she realized what it was! But Colin didn"t give her any chance. He was already holding the medical case. He held it up so Sophia couldn"t touch it even if she jumped.
Contraceptive pills... What?
Colin"s handsome face turned pale. Although Sophia tried frantically to prevent him, he still opened it and found that a pill has been removed from the box already.
His eyes became fiery. It frightened Sophia. She knew that he was angry. "I...... Hmmm...... It"s because you never use condoms! He never used anything to protect her when they do it. It was his fault. But the strange thing was she was so guilty when she said it. Colin became suspicious.
Colin threw the pill box forcefully into the garbage. Coldly, he stared at Sophia"s flickering, terrified eyes. He asked, "Who allowed you to take it and why?!"
Sophia did not like his cold tone and felt aggrieved by it. Her face turned red. She retorted with her own question. "Why are you so angry? You"re going to get married. What should I do if you made me pregnant? Abortion? Or I give birth to an illegitimate child all because you"re already married to another woman? Colin, you"re so selfish! Please think of me too!!"
