"Don"t you dare try to see him again! Understood?"
"..." Why did he hate her so much? Not only did he get engaged with the daughter of her enemy, but he also forbade her from seeing his son.
As she gasped for air, she whispered, "I get it, and I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience I had caused. Now, if you"ll excuse me..."
"What? Do you feel wronged?" His voice stopped her from turning back.
As much as she was tempted to get close, Sophia stepped back to keep her distance from him. "No, " she said.
She wanted to leave so badly, but Colin clearly wasn"t letting her leave. He gripped her wrist and pressed her against his car.
Their two bodies touched; the strong smell of tobacco went into her nostrils.
She was overwhelmed by his sudden move, so she stuttered, "Colin, I swear I will never, ever get anywhere near your son... I..." The rest of her words drowned in his mouth.
Sophia"s mind became blank, and she couldn"t think about anything at the moment, except the fact that Colin was kissing her, the man she loved kissing her.
As their pa.s.sion grew stronger, Colin pulled open the door to the back seats and pushed her inside.
Suddenly, Sophia came back to her senses. She grasped his greedy hand, breathing delicately, and said "Please, I am not ready to..."
It had been three years since she dated someone. She even turned Hugh down.
He cast a glance at her red lips and said, "Don"t tell me you haven"t had s.e.x with any man in past three years."
Sophia nodded. Having no idea how to explain it, she could only come up with an excuse, "... I haven"t met a decent guy..."
She knew it wasn"t true. During her three-year stay in Milan, she had encountered men of different backgrounds. Handsome guys, successful guys... But none of them had made her heart pound.
He drew himself closer to her and approached her small face. "What if you had met a decent guy?"
She found herself intoxicated by his low,
"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...
ur dad into visiting you. My baby..."
At Colin"s place.
Colin walked gently into Ambrose"s room. It was almost 11PM; the child was already asleep.
As he did every night, he tucked his sleeping son in.
Suddenly, a small hand grabbed his muscular arm. He found Ambrose looking at him with sleepy eyes, "Daddy."
The child looked exactly the same as... Sophia, the woman he constantly recognized in his son. He said in a soft tone, "Yes?"
Ambrose got up instantly. "Daddy, do you like Sophia?"
"... Why are you asking?" Keeping his composure, Colin sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the serious-looking boy.
The next words that popped out of his naughty little kid"s mouth startled him. "Daddy, I want Sophia to be my girlfriend. I hope you can let her be your future daughter-in-law."
"..." Colin placed his own palm on his face, speechless.
"Daddy, please say something. What do you think?" The boy moved his father"s palm out of his face and looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
Colin looked at him and said, "No, I disagree."
The boy angrily responded, "You are against it because she is older than me. Don"t worry. She will wait for me to grow up and marry her. She likes me, and I like her!"
"You really do?" He asked.
Ambrose nodded, "Yes."
"Very much?"
